First off, it's no longer PS4 Neo - Sony revealed the new, more powerful console will be called PS4 Pro instead. Second and more important, the PS4 Pro will cost $399 when it launches on November 10.

Sony's chief console maker Mark Cerny said PS4 Pro has "more than doubled" the GPU power of the standard PS4, and that it uses AMD's Polaris architecture. The clock-rate of the CPU has been boosted but he didn't say what to.

The PS4 Pro will have a 1TB hard-drive.

Sony's message with the PS4 Pro was clear, and repeated: it is a this-generation machine for people pursuing 4K gaming, virtual reality and HDR gaming - the hardcore technology enthusiast. By naming it PS4 Pro, Sony is declaring the generation it belongs to.

PS4 Pro will play existing PS4 games as you know them now, Cerny assured us, and he said there will be ways to transfer games across.

His presentation went into detail, with examples, of why 4K and HDR are the future, and what that looks like on PS4 Pro. Cerny talked about "forward compatibility", and showed how existing games can and are being patched to look better on PS4 Pro. He said over a half-a-dozen first-party games have "forward compatibility" patches in the works.

Looks nice, I'll probably get mine early December to give time for bug fixes and see how big of a TB storage I can replace that 1 TB with.

Though I want to double confirm that this will play all PS4 games on a HDTV? Sounded like some game makers can make it so a game won't play on a HDTV?

I'm pretty sure using the PS4 Pro will still play all games to a 1080p TV - based on the live stream I just watched. The benefits will be increased graphic density (more grass, things like that) and a more stable frame rate.

My heart does go out to you first PS4 people, I hope a great trade in offer appears around the launch of this console and easy way of transferring data.

Data is easy enough to transfer. Can't say I am that bothered - I would happily keep my current PS4 in another room and use it to play random games with friends and buy the PS4 Pro for my room to play other games. Not like I feel cheated for buying my PS4 or anything.

Unless you just bought a PS4 in the last few months.
 
Makes me glad I haven't bought a PS4 yet.

Although, with my luck after I buy the pro version they'll come out with the super pro version.
