My local Walmart finally got some PS4 Pros in stock. They are standalone and the box art on the front looks fairly plain (can't see the back of the box).
The part number appears to be new: CUH-7215B . I'm guessing this is 5.50+, but the PSIDENT tool thinks it could be as low as 3.70???

Not sure what you mean - by inputting your part number (P-27452506-D) I get some relevant info:
[4.73] REPORTED WITH PRO CONSOLE: [CUH-7116B-B01Y]
[5.50] REPORTED WITH PRO FORTNITE CONSOLE: [CUH-7116B-B01Y]
So if it's not a Fortnite bundle it looks like it could be ok.
In my opinion, for this model number the chances of it being < 5.05 is very low.
Glad that I helped you. Actually, now I am happy that it was on higher firmware. If it was hackable, I would still be on 5.05 with no possibility of playing newer games. Now I am over it and playing the new games I desired. Happy gaming to everyone.So today I went out and bought a PS4 pro. First off I would like to give a big thanks to @arnes_king - I was set to buy a White Glacier model, and it turned out to be the exact same model as the one you got, so I passed on that one. Your misfortune made the fortune of a fellow forum lurker, if that’s any consolation
In the end I found a lone Destiny 2 bundle for sale in a random shop out of town - possibly the last one on sale in the whole country. And cheap too - liquidating the old stockI just powered it on now, it’s on 4.70 as it should be. That was a well-invested 3 hours on the train
Anyway thanks all for this thread, it’s very helpful!
I read you my friend - have had this thing for a week and a half now, and to be honest, with no online access at all, no PSN+, no automatic updates, no RDR2, I feel I'm kind of missing out. Old games are quite cheap when bought used anyway - might sell that thing to someone who sees more value in this than I do.
If it's a recent one, with a pic of Ronaldo on the back, then it's 5.50. I recommend you read a few pages back in the thread, there is a discussion about this very model.
Hi all
My first post here.
I have my hands on a PS4 Days of Play and from what I have been reading in this topic, it's going to be a 5.07. But I rather buy a cheaper console if I have the option (deals and stuff). Do you guys think I should get this, or should I wait for black Friday and find a console for much much cheaper? So I guess what I'm asking is, how probable is it to find a console on black Friday with 5.07 or lower?
I also have the option of buying a PS4 Uncharted edition which is definitely 3.55. But the downside of this one is, that it is a fat PS4 which is being sold for the price of a Slim.
One more question, does anyone know what firmware does the Slim 500GB glacier white come with?
Any ideas on what's the best decision?
P.S: Just to give you an idea of what the prices are here:
A standard ps4 slim: $430
The days of play edition: $440
The uncharted edition: $430
P.S.2: Also, I should note that although everyone here had 5.07 on their Days of Play, it is still not guaranteed.
Thank you.

According to this Wikipedia page you should be fine (should be 4.70):

This being said, you may want to run the serial number through KiiWii's tool to be sure (it's linked to multiple times in the last few pages of this thread).
Hi all, i have 2 questions. PS4 Pro no matter what it say on the box all kan get the 4K to work right?
And the 2 question is i bought a PS4 frome mediamarkt here in sweden that i think should have low FW on it anyone know? I have looked on ps4 site where you put in the serial nr and such and it show ok bellow 4.70. But anyone here that could confirm, so noob at that :/
CUH-7016B B01Y

I can answer you first question and leave the second to others: Yes, all PS4 Pros are 4K capable.
The longer you wait the lower the chance. Not sure where you live but where I am they are already pretty hard to come by in shops. After Black Friday I think it should be pretty much impossible, as all shops will offload their old stock.
That's totally a personal decision (I prefer the look of the fat one myself), but you may have a harder time selling a fat PS4 than a slim one down the line.
Those in the shops right now are likely 5.55.
I don't know anything about this specific bundle, but if there's a risk it doesn't come with 5.07 you may want to take the safer route. Also please note that 5.07 is a tricky firmware, as there is no recovery firmware for it - if something goes wrong and you mess up your system with homebrew, you'll have to update to >5.07.
In my opinion CUH-7016B is pretty much guaranteed to have 4.70 or lower.

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
