Sony has finally revealed the prices for its PlayStation 4 Pro console and PlayStation VR headset in India
Sony has finally revealed prices for its new PlayStation 4 Pro (PS4 Pro) and PlayStation 4 Slim (PS4 Slim) consoles as well as that of the PlayStation VR (PSVR) headset.
Sony has finally revealed prices for its new PlayStation 4 Pro (PS4 Pro) and PlayStation 4 Slim (PS4 Slim) consoles as well as that of the PlayStation VR (PSVR) headset.The PlayStation VR bundle, which includes a tracking camera, will be available for Rs 41,990. The stand-alone PSVR headset will go for Rs 37,990. The PS4 Pro will be available for Rs 38,990 and the PS4 Slim for Rs 27,990, the company revealed in a statement.The PS4 Slim is, as the name suggests, a slimmer, lighter PS4. Internally, it’s the same as the PS4 and supports HDR, Full HD gaming and the PSVR. All games built for the PS4 Pro will be compatible with the PS4 Slim.The PS4 Pro is the grown up version of the PS4. It features hardware that is much more powerful, support for interpolated 4K gaming (upscaled 2K content) and support for HDR and the PSVR. Games that are developed for the PS4 Pro will run smoother, look better and will have more bells and whistles.In fact, if you’re going for a new console, I’d strongly suggest you go for the PS4 Pro. It’s the future as far as Sony is concerned. If you’re a Microsoft fan, then it’ll be best to wait until Xbox Project Scorpio comes out. That said, the Xbox One is relatively cheap, especially in sales.The PSVR headset brings virtual reality capabilities to Sony’s console. We tried the headset out ourselves and were very impressed with its capabilities. The standard PS4 does struggle to support the resolution that the PSVR demands, but hey, at least it supports the device.The PSVR even supports positional audio via a bundled box that must be hooked into the PS4. The tracking camera is needed for tracking the PSVR headset as well as the controllers. If you already bought the PS Camera, you won’t need to but the PSVR bundle.When it comes to controllers, your standard DualShock 4 controller is compatible with the PSVR. The older Move controllers are also compatible.The consoles will be available this month. The PSVR headset will be available in March.If you’re confused about which console to pick up. Here’s some buying advice:
- New console? PS4 Pro
- VR plans? PS4 Pro
- Literally no budget over Rs 30,000? PS4 / PS4 Slim
- Don’t care which console? PS4 Pro
- Good games? PS4 / PS4 Slim / PS4 Pro (budget permitting).
- Microsoft fanboy? Xbox One S (or wait till the Scorpio comes out)
- Nintendo fanboy? Nintendo Switch (duh)
- Actually care about games? #PCMasterRace
