PS4 Is STILL WORTH IT In 2023
Ғылым және технология
Yes, it is still worth getting a Sony PS4 in 2023. Used, that is. Honestly, even after a decade later, the PS4 is going strong and you'll be incredibly impressed at the kind of performance that this console can still dish out, even in the latest titles such as Modern Warfare 2.
For just about $150 to $200, this might be a seriously good pick up. Our advice, go for the OG PS4 C-Chassis or the PS4 Slim!

Got my ps4 slim for $50, can you believe it? The guys said it ran super slow and was loud, I cleaned out the fan and heatsink, swapped in a new 1tb hard drive and now it’s running like new

PS4 still holds up until today PS5 imo is not a generation leap but it has some good and welcoming changes, I have a PS5 myself and it’s more about accessibility, I mostly purchased a PS5 due to the high demand as I wanted to have access to it before it’s no longer available (although this has changed) It wouldn’t be the end of the world if I still had a PS4.
It's definitely a great console, good video! You can't beat the price to performance with it, and always buy used physical copies!

Stop buying physical games because Sony has put a virus bug update on some physical games that is unplayable.
At the very last minute I decided to upgrade my original PS4 to the PS4 Pro console, I bought it from Pawnshop for $150 even the graphics are very clear and sharp compared to the original PS4. It’s great console ever since it’s release back in late 2016.
So sad I had to sell mine for some quick cash. I miss gaming on PS4. I'm definitely getting a pre-owned one.
Got the original ps4 from my friend with controllers and a headset for 100$ CAD (around 75 usd) just had to clean it..definitely worth it
i got my PS4 Pro on 2ndhand market, PS4 still rocks this year, but Im probably upgrade to PS5 later this year 2023 for Spider-Man 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

I’ve had my ps4 slim for the past 7 years and it blows my mind that’s a unit that was released 10 years ago can run games like modern warfare 2 2022 and ps5 games in general. Aside from visual bugs in modern warfare 2 (I should probably do a deep clean because war zone runs like actual sh*t aside from the gulag )I genuinely agree that’s a ps4 is still a pretty good gaming console though if you are going to buy it as your main console I suggest the standard or pro is a better choice because slim is generally not the best . I love my ps4 and I had a ton of memories that I will never forget while playing with the bois and no new gen console imo can beat those memories

Hi guys, please help me out here! I am new to console gaming, and i am interested to play the games like lost of us 1 and 2, red dead redemption 2, resident evil 4, horizon zero dawn, Spiderman, need for Speed heat etc! So playing these games on ps4 slim will be more than sufficient? Or should i go buy ps5 to play these games? Does these games looks and plays far better in ps5?
I have a PS3 and i am considering buying a PS4 to acquire more Playtation exclusive games and i recently heard from some relatives of mine that most videogames on a PS4 or PS5 require a patch download and after the patch is downloaded it requires me to pay a monthly price to acquire a PlaystationPlus in order to play any game at all is this true or false?

Thanks for this. I think for someone starting, the ps4 is a no-brainer as you get it cheap and tons of great games under 20$. Even most new games are available on PS4. PS5 does not offer value so I will probably stick with my PS4 for a while. Who knows, maybe until a PS6 is released!

Got for the Xbox Series S. It's the superior choice here and will last you for a long while. Couple that with Game Pass and you're set.
Unfortunately I had to buy a sony bombox cuz the ps4 Doesn't support cd media but I do like using the playstation 4 as a bluray player
My main console is a PS4 Pro w/upgraded 1 tb SSD. I have 159 games (Almost all on disc) just for PS4. I think I will be getting estimated 8-15 more games by the time PS4 is done. A Pro/w SSD is ALOT better than standard PS4. I have Og Xbox 1, PS3 slim 500 gb and PS2 slim, SNES classic modded. I have all the top games for those systems. Right now Im waiting for the PS5 Pro; supposedly Nov 2024 release date? Im also hoping future ps5 models (Pro or Slim) have larger SSD storage. At this point if you don't have any console just wait for PS5 slim/pro or just get a PS5 if you cant wait. Theirs deal's out there if you look.

Same situation as yourself. Got a PS4 Pro and waiting for the PS5 Pro to make the upgrade. The base PS5 in terms of visuals isn't a big enough jump coming from the PS4 Pro. 2024 end would be a good time for the PS5 Pro to drop. I am currently enjoying playing games like God of War Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden West on PS4 Pro and it is absolutely gorgeous in terms of graphical fidelity and absolutely breathtaking visuals even compared to a decent gaming PC's graphical capabilities from 2023. Truly great job by the devs to give us such a spectacular experience from last gen systems. I won't be upgrading until the PS5 Pro drops. That's for sure.
They sell them here in U.S for $299 at Walmart, Target, and Best Buy new. People are obviously ignorant to the fact $100+ more dollars will get you a digital PS5, way more powerful, plays old PS4 games and is FAR more future proof. So what's the point at any price?

Buy a new one while you can. I've bought second-hand consoles before and you want to hose yourself down after getting it home...don't get me started on the knackered controller. In Australia many major retailers sell new PS4s. Plus, you don't get a warrantee with a 13-year-old second-hand item. Grab one while you're waiting for PS6 or the console market to collapse.
