A:AnswerThe original PS4's power supply is rated at an AC Input of 100-240 volts, meaning you can take it with you around the world and feel safe, knowing that it won't explode. It would behoove Sony to step backwards from that standard, so you can assume that the PS4 Pro will work in a 220 Volt. I can even use the power cable that came with the PS Vita in a 220 volt socket. Just make sure you have the proper adapter so it will fit in the wall socket standard of the country you're in/visiting/etc. I've attached an imagine to further explain it. Just pay attention to the voltage ranges under AC input on any electronic to see if it will work for a certain voltage.
A:AnswerWanted to add comments and comment on Neo's comments...
If you're buying a new PS4, then the Pro is a no-brainer. $100 more for more than 2x the GPU, 1/3 faster CPU, faster RAM, etc. If you're getting it as an upgrade for one you already own, it's kind of personal preference/your financial situation, etc.
You don't need a 4K set to benefit from this in games. A higher resolution is one way games will get upgraded, but not the only way. Sony's page on the Pro actually does a great job giving examples of how the extra power will be used. (It's ultimately up to developers on a game by game basis, but their examples are dead on the money.) Honestly I think MOST benefits to graphics/frame rate will be obvious on a 1080p set also.
<<<The Pro takes double energy, will have double the heat and sound like a loud hair dryer.>>>
All of that is speculation. There's no reason it can't have a quality cooling system that's quieter than the original model.
<<<I'm all up for new technology but this Pro will NOT have True 4k resolution. It has been explained the PS4 Pro will be a 1080p gaming console and up convert 1080 to 4k.>>>
This isn't true. The Pro isn't powerful enough to do true 4K, but it can still do significantly higher resolutions than the original, plus that's far from the only benefit:

<<<The only other real advantage a PS4 could possibly have is in about 1yr you may start to see games have a normal PS4 mode and a Pro mode.>>>
It's not "possibly in about 1 year", it's *RIGHT NOW*. RIGHT NOW new PS4 games are support Pro, and actually a surprising number of older games have patches to enhance graphics on it too. Gamespot's got a list, with basic info on how games are upgraded on a 4K set, and a 2K set:

If your'e like me and want games to look and run as well as possible, Pro's just a no-brainer.
<<<If they want to make the game 1 way? Then that's it. If it gets enhanced? Then it's not a promise but possible. >>>
No, Sony's requiring supporting the Pro. It shouldn't really be that huge a deal for developers, given they're already having to play around with various settings to get things to run well on a given platform...I mean the PS4 is already quite a lot more powerful than Xbox One, and obviously on PC you've got 90 billion different levels of performance, so Pro just adds one more to optimize for.
<<<Could the Pro content be like a paid expansion ? Most likely because it takes extra time to remake a game 2 times.>>>
There's been some suggestion that some older games might get patches that cost money (I don't think that's unreasonable to allow publishers to charge, given obviously they're having to go back to an older game and do additional development on it). With new games however (including everything coming out now) the support is on the disc, and is required. And they're not having remake the game, just target different graphical settings basically. You can get a good idea what developers are doing both from Sony's page, and Gamespots. Higher resolutions, HDR, higher frame rates, more graphical detail, higher draw distances, more effects, etc., etc. Could throw in more physics too.
A:AnswerIt's not really "overclocked" per se. That implies it's running faster than it's speced for, which isn't the case.
It's got 2x as large GPU, and the GPU and CPU, and RAM are all clocked faster, but it's also made on a newer manufacturing process that uses less power to do the same thing.
Of course you never know how well a new system will hold up, but from what I've heard it's probably dealing with heat better than the first gen models. Regardless, the cooling system is designed for it.
I'd be surprised if the drive is 7200RPM, though you can always replace the drive if you want to.
A:AnswerI doubt it. I'd think if it could be done in software they'd hopefully tell us, and I doubt they'd add that soon (if at all). Probably a cost cutting measure. I'm pretty surprised it's just $400, but I guess going with a "regular" Blu Ray drive was one of the sacrifices.
A:AnswerI bought mine several months ago as part of a RDR2 Combo pack and it was a 72xx Model. Since then I've read they are being released in Stand alone too.
So, it should be 72xx. To make sure , you'll need to check at the time of checkout; you can look for the information on the outside of the box.
A:AnswerYes.
1) Get a HMDI switch, which allows you to have multiple HDMI inputs and you can select between them.
so I have several things connected and just choose which I want to use.
2) Get a miniHDMI-To-HDMI wire, you need this to connect anything to it.
3) Lastly, and I know you will call B.S., but I'm serious, it only worked after I got the Amazon Fire Stick. Turn on your PS4 and have hit connected to your HDMI switch, then insert the Amazon Fire stick to the HDMI switch and your projector should show the amazon fire menu where you select the movie, then switch the HDMI switch to your PS4 input, give it a second and you will see the PlayStation input is now being projected. I can only assume the Amazon firestick does something with the resolution of the projector, which makes it somehow work.
Keep in mind I don't know if someone else (other than the FireStick) would be able to accomplish this, but for me it worked.
A:AnswerAs far as I know, the latest model of the PS4 Pro is the CUH-7115-B, haven't seen anything about a [16] model. The last time the Pro got a hardware update was as recent as October of 2017, and bought mine in December. So in conclusion, at the time of writing this, the latest model out right now is the CUH-7115-B.
A:AnswerYou can hook up a total of 2 controllers at same time, but some games if option allows u can hook up a max of 4 if games like this on console exist.
Also u can buy add on for both consoles so u can add in more ports and more gears to enhance ur experience look it up online when u get a chance.
A:AnswerThe resolution games run at is unrelated to the storage medium. That's only relevant for movies in the actual Blu Ray standard.
Also while the Pro is a LOT more powerful than the original PS4 (at least 2x the GPU, and the CPU, GPU, and RAM are all clocked faster too), it probably won't have any 4K games, or at least not many. From what I've read, somewhere in the 2500ish range may be common. (Though of course you have to have a 4K TV to get the higher resolution.) Developers are free to use the extra power however they want though. They can spend it on higher resolutions, more graphical detail, more physics, whatever, on a game by game basis.
