Along with the reveal has come a detailed look at the system itself, unveiling some of the differences in design when compared to the original PlayStation 4 model. Among the alterations being made is the system's light bar moving from the top of the system to the front of the console, but let's take a further look at other modifications made to the PS4 Pro.
