Which version of PS4 is better?

The best PS4 depends on your needs: the PS4 Pro is best for premium performance (4K, faster frame rates) if you have a 4K TV and budget isn't an issue, while the PS4 Slim offers great value as a compact, quiet, and affordable option for standard 1080p gaming. The original "fat" PS4 is generally the least recommended, but its optical audio port can be useful for specific setups, though the Slim lacks it.

Can PS4 Pro run GTA 6?

No, the PS4 Pro cannot run GTA 6 because the game is a next-generation exclusive, developed only for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, skipping the older PS4 generation entirely due to hardware limitations and the game's advanced features. The graphical demands, map size, and complex systems of GTA 6 are far too intensive for the PS4 Pro's hardware to handle, requiring the power of current-gen consoles for a proper experience, say sources like Quora and The Times of India.

Is it better to get games on disc or digital?

Neither digital nor disc games are objectively "better"—it depends on your priorities, with digital offering convenience, space-saving, and instant access, while discs provide resale value, physical ownership, and often lower used prices, though they require storage and disc swapping. Performance-wise, they're usually the same once installed, but digital means managing hard drive space, whereas discs have the potential for physical damage or disc-drive failure.
