    Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

    I really feel like the Pro should have launched with Boost Mode already a feature. I think that may have won more people over from the start.

    Watching all the videos of Boost Mode comparisons so far it's clear that some games will barely benefit (Witcher 3, Bloodborne), but others get pretty great boosts (BF4 was one that seemed to get a pretty massive increase in performance).

    Really loving my Pro purchase after adopting Day 1. Loving to see more games come out with high res and high FPS mode options for gamers. I usually go with high res mode but in games like Nioh that 60 fps option is hard to turn down.

    Only issue is deciding if I need to upgrade to a HD bigger than 1TB.

    Has anyone put out a video or a report of external hard drive vs internal hard drive speed tests on in the new firmware? If there is a big boost externally I will happily use one of my adapters to plug in my HD on the outside.

      PSN is running the $15 credit after spending $100. Does this count with pre-orders as well?

            Quick question. On your 4K TVs do you guys use dynamic contrast? Mine is set to off, but there is low, medium, and high. I tested in NBA 2K last night and all the settings made a noticeable difference, but couldn't settle on one.

              If you want a little increase, you might want to take a look at Low. Anything else is just too unnatural, in my opinion.

              However, any post-processing will cause some lag on your television, so choose wisely.

                    I know Artman said he likes it turned off but visually I like it. I had mine on high for awhile but it was too much, I'm pretty sure I moved mine to low and it makes for a nice picture. To each his own though.

                            Hyped for Disc Jam after playing it in the beta. This is definitely the best way for the game to get exposure and I really hope it becomes the next Rocket League.

                              Exposure wise I get if it goes away. But don't we get to keep it if we download it and keep Plus. Wouldn't that hurt sales in long run?

                                No because they need a user base to build the product and then word of mouth will build sales. Just like, as someone said, Rocket League.
