Functionally it is identical. It was a publicity move, implying it could be a collector item. By still_one Sep 2017 #3

price was 500 dollars.

It will be interesting to see how this sells.

It includes a blu ray 4K player which sony decided not to include in their Virtual Reality model

I had to choose between this and the PS4 and the respective driving games they each offer, Gran Turismo vs Forza.

All things considered, including the 4k player, I went this way.

My steering wheel/pedals is however not gonna work with it unless this device I heard of for $90 makes it work (company called cronusmax makes something called drivehub that is supposed to work), otherwise I have to spend another $300 on a wheel.

But this is one thing that keeps me from going completely insane, especially given the literal insanity our daily lives are now.

all accounts it worked because they sold out of all their pre-orders for that

I think Sony made an error not to include a 4K player in their PS4 Pro (Neo). The PS5 will be released next year, so it will be interesting to see the impact of the XBOX X One
