Depends.
If you already have a PS4, and don't have a 4k TV or PS VR....then probably not.
If you're buying your first PS or making the leap to current gen for the first time....then yes. Games run better and are more stable on PS4 Pro than they do on PS4.
If you're interested in PS VR....then yes. Sony doesn't really talk about it, but PS VR really pushes a standard PS4 console pretty hard. A lot of the reason why Sony came out with the Pro when they did was to support PS VR.
All in all, the PS4 Pro represents a modest but noticeable upgrade from standard PS4. But an OPTIONAL one, imo, if you either don't have a 4K TV or PS VR.
But that being said, if there's ANY chance of you getting a 4K TV in the near future, go ahed and get it. I was just browsing through the Best Buy website and was shocked at how low 4K TV prices are getting....and make no mistake.
These games----especially games like Horizon Zero Dawn and The Division----look ***gorgeous** in 4k.

Isn't my first PS I just have a PS3 right now. My cousins have a couple of PS4's the I come over and and play there and play sometimes so I'm used to how it works. Just looking to get my own so I can play D2 mostly and some other games.

What Wolverine said. If no 4K TV in the forseeable future, go with the PS4 and spend the rest on games. If you think you will be getting one within the next year, I'd spring for the PS4 Pro. Especially if you play RPGs and open world games, gaming in 4K is worth the extra.

I don't think I'm getting a 4K this year. Maybe on Black Friday. But that's a big maybe. I am looking at RPG's like HZD and Final Fantasy XV though

I meant the next 12 months, not this calendar year. ....but if you think you're going to get a 4K TV---and you're interested in RPGs----get the PS4 Pro. The extra power will make the those kind of open world games run better....and when you do get that 4K TV, you'll be glad you did get the Pro.

Sounds like a standard PS4 will be fine then. If you think a 4K TV won't be too far off into the future then get the 4K.
