The main reason for getting one early was the ensure that I got a favourable price for my old PS4; after price matching with CEX, Game gave me £176, so I was pretty happy. Overall, I'm not disappointed with the Pro on my 1080p display. Games look a little sharper and the UI is a little snappier. Of course I realise it will come into it's own when I get a 4K TV, but I'm loathe to purchase one yet, as it seems to be a bit of a minefield. Proper 4K, HDR 10, input lag, the list goes on, I'm happy to hold out until a well priced 4K TV comes out that ticks all the boxes. I'm hoping I won't have to wait to long......
Yep, pretty much the same here, too. I'm not really all that interested in getting a 4K TV tbh. I think over the next 12 months we'll see more and more PS4 games come with added graphical benefits for 1080p users, such as options for framerate vs HD textures, downsampling from 4K, etc. Already a fair few games seem to have nice little optional extras for PS4Pro users. Sure, most of the time I don't really notice them (I only have a Pro now - I sold my PS4 a while ago); to me games just look good and when they are Pro-ready (with extra options in the Graphics Menu) they look really good, even at 1080p.
Was it worth the upgrade? Just depends on where your priorities lie. I wanted the best the PS4 could offer, even though I'm not using a 4K TV, so it was an investment in the hope that developers will not forget that the vast majority of owners will probably not have a 4K TV but still be looking for their games to optimise that extra muscle provided by their new Pros on a 1080p screen.
