Great Time Of Year

Well it's been a busy one. But Thanksgiving and Black Friday are now past us and come Monday we will be have Cyber Monday. There will be plenty of deals going on in regards to sales. Did you pick up anything for Black Friday or will you be picking up something on Cyber Monday or will you wait and see what each week brings as it gets closer to Christmas?

Did anyone pick up a PS4 PRO and used it with the PSVR?

If you are waiting for the reviews to get the PS4 PRO even though the PSVR works with the original PS4, then I am going to say this...it does help. Robinson: The Journey is one fine example of how the PRO can help. The graphics have been beefed up to play on the PRO to a really wow factor. If you are planning on buying Robinson: The Journey, it seems the PSN store still has it for $59.99, but GameStop and Amazon has it for $39.99, so the choice is yours. So far the only negative thing I will say is if you have an HDR TV or got one on Black Friday, the processing box on PSVR does not support HDR pass through, so you do have to switch out the HDMI cable every time you go from PSVR to PS4 PRO only if you want the HDR game play. Other than that...
