What customers say about "Features"
 
Sony PlayStation 4 Pro 1TB Console
  • The controller, with it's tactile feedback and natural feel is awesome. I'm a keyboard guy, but I'm getting used to this now.
  • We used the internet browser feature to watch a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch on the big screen (with surround sound!) as well. I do wish it had come with a remote for the TV watching--exploring my options there at present--but the Dual Shock controller suffices for now.
  • Very happy with the upgrade and the additional features.
  • The system is amazing with all its new features including controller that change light new recording features it's just so amazing and download are incredibly fast.
  • I gave my original PS4 to a less fortunate friend and got the Pro for myself. Love all the added features and I'm excited to see what is on the horizon.
