Another design difference is the silver PlayStation logo that sits in the center of the top surface, adding a nice touch of elegance. You should also note that Sony's PS4 Pro system has a few deficiencies in the home entertainment department: particularly in not having an Ultra HD Blu-ray player installed.

On the front of the console, you might notice that there are no touch-capacitive buttons: Sony has decided to ditch the accident-prone pads for more traditional plastic buttons, but they do the job just the same.It is, essentially, a very small iteration on the DualShock 4 controller you've probably been using for years. When Sony first unveiled the PS4 Pro, there were jokes that the system felt like two PS4s stacked on top of one another, but the second you pull the system from the box that observation becomes less of a joke and more a fair observation.

It's a little more expensive than the regular PS4 was, but that's because it uses slightly different hardware to get better results in terms of performance.While that might not sound like a huge addition, for a pro gamer it can mean the difference between a win (and a pot of esports prize money) or a loss. Ethernet, optical audio and PlayStation Camera ports line up along the back next to the power connector.
