Finally got my PS4 pro hooked up and running! Took roughly an hour to do from cleaning up my room a bit in the area (wires, move out the PS3/Wii U) to swamping in the 2 TB to setting up the PS4 itself from user settings and getting connected to the wifi and get PS+ on it. For now I'll be using it on a simple 1080p tv but I made sure to get a 2.0 HDMI cord for down the line should I do upgrade to HDR/4k.
So first impressions, I love it I like its look but all those grooves in the PS4 pro look to be a dust issue down the line. The controller feels good in my hands, can't wait to get going on a FPS with it. I don't however like the buttons for power and eject on the main system itself, kind of small and easily missable. I also don't like how they have the usb wedged into the groves in the front, I had to use the one in the back to plug in my usb containing the PS4 update data as it didn't fit in the front.
I'm pretty sure I got most settings correct like all the privacy settings and setting up 2 step authentication (since I have been hacked once before), but I'm wondering if there are any settings that anyone here recommends? I'm also like to know how to clean up the home menu, maybe get rid of some of those extra app boxes like the Vue which I'll never use.
Since I'm waiting for the boost mode patch to come out, I've decided to start with Second Son for a game since that was made for Pro (via a large patch!)
Also I'm going to clean out my friends list for anyone who hasn't logged in a long time. So let me know if I accidentally delete you from my PS4 list.
I'm also curious, should I ever shut my PS4 off completely or leave it in rest mode all the time? I plan on rest mode during the day and shut off during the night, times I game most and won't ever game.
