Purchasing a firmware without also possessing a 4K television is illogical. There will be some games with unlocked frames per second, but the 10k+ point differential isn't worth it in my opinion. If you have a 4K television, you will see a difference, but only in about three to five games that are truly worthwhile; otherwise, titles that have been optimized will appear unchanged. After purchasing the firmware, I started giving some thought to putting together a gaming PC. If you don't have access to Sonya, your best bet is to put together a gaming PC for 30,000 dollars. You will not be able to get 60 frames per second on ultra settings; however, the hardware of the PlayStation 4 is still considered to be obsolete, and if you invest the same amount of money on a personal computer instead, you will enjoy superior performance and pay less for games through Steam. In the case of exclusives, you can purchase a fatka on eBay for 11,000 coins, use the funds to purchase more titles on disk, and then resell the games for the same amount that you paid for them. If you have fat or skinny, upgrading only makes sense if you also have 4K and a very strong itch in your wallet with money. If you don't have 4K, upgrading is a waste of money.
