I found this topic which asks the same question. Personally, I feel I'll likely get the P's as I've heard it is fun and buying the various pierces (while expensive) will be more convenient than the process of transferring content onto the 4U - although the 4U's content is likely cheaper, so I might be persuaded.

4U is cheaper for sure, but doesn't have as much content compared to the P's. Also the pierces can be quite expensive as of late so that may influence your decision.

I heard the 4U+ has more content than the original but I'm not sure how much because I don't own one.

what is this content? I dont know much about the new tamagtochis, like its still fun to plau with if say i didnt buy the pierces right?

I own a P's and a 4U+ and I actually really enjoy both.

The P's has more built in content, even with the downloads/pierces/etc.; the 4U/+ was designed as a 'bare bones' Tamagotchi, with the idea being that you could customise it with downloads to be whatever you wanted. A lot of people really didn't like the 4U/+ for this reason, but I think the graphics are lovely and it has some nice features and animations. I think it helped that the phone I already had has compatible NFC, which meant I have been able to fill it full of downloads.

The P's is still fun without the pierces, although if you do have access to downloads it feels limitless as to what you can have on there (Mr.Blinky has downloadable characters and English languages versions of a couple of the physical pierces).

If you have access to an irDa or NFC device then there is also an English patch for both the P's and the 4U (but not the 4U+). I think some sellers do sell the P's/4U ready patched though.

If I remember correctly, the difference in content between the 4U and the 4U+ is that the latter has two new characters, different games and extra 'personality stages' (when you have an adult Tamagotchi if you do certain things, e.g., bath X number of times, they will transform into one of their 'personality stage' characters).

I've never owned a 4U or a 4U+, so I can't speak about that, but I do have a P's, and it's super enjoyable, even without the pierces!! It's also pretty easy to understand and work even in Japanese, once you get the hang of it!
