A Combo Of Things

I hope everyone is doing awesome in the world of PlayStation Nation. So who scored a PS4 PRO? Who has used it the PSVR? I can say this...very impressive. Just last night I tried out Robinson: The Journey. Everything was so clear, so smooth that I was actually stopping and just enjoying the details the of the plants and my new adopted pet dino while trying to play a game of Hide and Seek. In case you don't know what Robinson: The Journey is, check out the trailer.

Do you need the PRO?

Many have asked if you need the PRO or does it make the difference everyone is talking about? Well if you are happy with your original PS4 and don't have a 4k TV then you will be fine. But, if you do want a more clearer PSVR experience, then Yes the PS4 PRO might be for you. Now even if you don't have a 4K TV, the PS4 PRO will help out even on 1080p screens. But if you happen to have a 4K TV that has HDR such as the Samsung KS8000 or the Sony XBR65x850D and just playing games and you don't have a PS4 already then yes it is worth it. Now if you have a PSVR and a 4k TV with HDR and you already have a PS4 should you? Is it worth the upgrade? Yes it is. Places like GameStop will take in trades and so the difference will be far less than paying out the $399. And I will also say this, even though the PS4 PRO comes with a 1tb hard drive, if you decide to put in a 2tb, the whole process including the installation of the hard drive and os took like less than 5 min.

The Granddaddy of display stands?

So how many of you when the PSVR came out which was a month ago today, many of us were looking for a stand to display our PSVR. Some went with what was available right then which is the one from Power A which is nice, but at the cost of a full blown out game, I wanted to wait and I am glad I did.

I at the towards the end of September pre ordered the Collective Minds that charges two ds4 controllers, two move controllers, holds the PSVR helmet, but also has a place to hang your headphones and can even charge those. The thing looks like a tank and with the blue lights, gets that sort of Tronified look to it. And if something is being charged, the light goes from blue to red. So even though it was delayed a week and a half, it was worth the wait. And what is sad is that some of the reviews on Amazon is giving it 1 star ratings only because some did not want to wait.

So in a week and a half we will have Thanksgiving. And while some of us will be eating, some of us will be planning for an event that requires planning, strategies and possibly help from family members you normally would not talk to. I am talking about Black Friday. The one day/night/weekend were the shopping frenzy starts and the deals can be good, but yet the tv or big item you may try to get will be limited. Over the years I have seen where Black Friday starts at like 7:00 am and has gotten earlier through out and now starting at 5:00 pm on Thanksgiving depending on the store. There are a few apps that will have the ads on your phone, but here is the link for Black Friday ads. So with that said, be safe, have fun and score those awesome deals.
