Sony ‘Silently’ Introduces New PlayStation 4 Pro Which Is Much Quieter

It has been two years since the launch of the PlayStation 4, and Sony has introduced a version which is quieter than the old models. The new PlayStation 4 bearing the model number CUH-7200 is significantly quieter. Now this may not seem like a big deal to people who have never owned a PlayStation before but it is. PlayStations are extremely noisy and can reach an unbearable decibel when used.

A few websites did a test on the new PS4 Pro and compared it to the older one. The new PS4 reportedly runs a bit hotter than the original model, but its fan remains a lot quieter. A reputed gaming website also recorded the decibel count. The new Sony PlayStation 4 Pro recorded 48 decibels at its loudest, compared to 55 decibels in the original. PlayStations have been known for their loud noise and the ‘Jet Engine Effect’ which can be extremely distracting for gamers. This move from Sony is a welcome change. They are generally loud because they generate a lot of heat and thus the fans have to work a lot to cool it down, causing a lot of noise. Playing games like Marvel’s Spider-Man and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey which have high graphics requirements makes the PS4 extremely hot and noisy.

One More Thing

Another significant change includes a new power adapter. It is a figure eight power adapter, like the ones used in Xbox models. There is very little else that has changed. Some websites have also reported that the PS4 Pro will be bundled with Red Dead Redemption 2. The Red Dead Redemption 2 PS4 Pro bundle is currently available for $ 399 on Amazon. With Black Friday and Christmas coming up, there will be massive discounts on gaming consoles. Since both models look similar, it is best to check the model number before buying.

Xbox One X Gets A Price Hike in India; Now Costs Rs. 48,490

Microsoft launched the Xbox One X in India in on January 23rd. At the time of the launch, it was priced at Rs. 44,990. However, it has recently received a price hike. Due to an increase in the customs duty from 10% to 20%, the console will retail now at Rs. 48,490. However, still, a few online retailers have listed the device at an older price tag, which is expected to remain the same until the arrival of the new shipments. Hence, prospective buyers have enough time to buy it before the hike kicks in.

Not only the Xbox One X, even the Sony PS4 Pro now retails at an increased price of Rs. 41,990 instead of Rs. 38,990.

Xbox One S and One X

The Xbox One X is the most powerful gaming console from Microsoft to date. The device is powered by custom 8-core Jaguar chipset with 12 GB GDDR5 RAM and 1 TB storage. Additionally, the storage is easily swappable with a higher capacity HDD or SSD.

The console also packs in a UHD Blue-ray drive, which can play any standard Blue-ray discs. This is the first Xbox that upscales 1080p to 4K with backwards compatibility with Xbox 360 titles.

It has a library of 1,300 titles with more than 200 titles available only on this platform. To encourage the users, each new console comes with a 14-days Xbox Live Gold trail along with a month of Xbox Game pass subscription.

Conclusion:

If you are looking for a Blue-ray player or a Gaming Console, then Xbox One X might be the one. However, if you are on a tight budget, then the Xbox One S is a good choice as well, which retails for Rs. 24,990.
