To still have this listed as $300 is kinda crazy, I saw that my local target had Xbox series X listed at $350 on sale. Different console but it is the current gen to only spend $50 extra on. If Sony listed these slims at $200 I think you’ll find some casual gamers who don’t mind being on last gen part of the Sony ecosystem. And who knows by having the ps4 for a while they’d want to update to PS5

The PS4 has over 3,000 games which is absolute insanity you probably could buy all the games and just play PS4 forever basically the PS4 is a fantastic console yes it does play at 1080 P but it is an outstanding 1080p picture

I still have the OG PS4 (Fat) one with the OG Controller, still using it actively and replaced thermal cooling time to time till I installed a custom cooling to keep it quiet. My OG Controller has hall-effect thumbsticks.. Sure I have a Gaming PC nowadays but having a console is a good thing, especially because you don't have to use different launchers.

I still game on my ps4 slim got it in 2017 cleaned it yesterday and replaced the thermal paste. Works/sounds like it’s brand new ❤❤

i enjoy watching these jacob, good work

I bought one of these recently for $40, still feel great about it after the long cleaning hours.

The way Jacob just flexed on us "I just realized I still have my PlayStation portal box"

One thing I've noticed after refurbishing a ton of PS4's is that they've used some very nice thermal compound on them because even after one would have expected them to be completely dried out they've still been pretty decently maliable. I mean they still need new thermal paste but comparing with Microsoft they seem to have opted for higher quality stuff. That said I haven't done too many xboxes so perhaps I'm mistaken due to small sample size there.

Happy gaming and happy holidays @Jacob R and everyone

Agreed 300 bucks is wild, I paid nearly 240 for a PS2 near the end of its life cycle. Did play my slim up until this year though, got my money's worth.

Picked one up 6 months ago, drilled a hole over the fan to improve the airflow and replaced the hard drive for a 1tb ssd, a crucial mx500.

I wanted to buy one of these but could never find one in stock so I ended up just buying a used Pro instead .

Same one I bought from target for my brother just before the last of us part 2 came out he had it for 4 months before that hard drive died and had to replace it with a ssd other than that it’s been absolutely fine

Yeah, still got my "Glacial White" PS/4 and a PS/4 Pro. Don't have them hooked up as I since got a PS/5. Still kept the original boxes, so I packed both of those units up and now down in my basement. I do like the idea of that one comment indicating still using a PS/4 to save room on the PS/5 to play PS/4 games, but I since added a 2 TB SSD to my PS/5, plus I was able to re-use the external harddrive I had on my PS/4 on the PS/5, with all my PS/4 games already installed on it. I did a quick cruise through the local Best Buy and I don't recall seeing any more brand-new PS/4 consoles on sale there anymore. Still, for $300 brand-new, I think that is a bit pricey. If it was around $200, I can see people may still be interested in picking one up, as there are certainly no shortage of games, and many of those game still look and play very nicely to this day on that console, even compared to what is on the PS/5. For $300, hell, try to find a PS/4 Pro or just try to scrunch up the extra bit of cash and get a PS/5.

Bro has the ‘tism. Every single video is the same. “I just bought this 10 year old console”

honestly that was a W transition into the sponsor

Can tell that most of the comments are from the USA and not Canada because 300$ for a ps4 in Canada would be a great deal most are 350$+ for a used one I just payed over 800$ for a new ps5 slim and thats considered a good cheep deal here in Canada

I still have my ps4 slim from 2017 and its still works great now im upgrading to PS5 next week on the 8th of February worked alot of overtime to get this PS5

We need to see your massive collection of consoles at some point i am starting to wonder where all of them go 😂😂😂

Our best buy had a several in store.. yea i noticed they were still in stock at certain places yup at 299.99 which i thought was weird but i picked up one just to have an extra

December of 2022 that’s inane I remember buying a PS2 9000 in 2013 so I wouldn’t be surprised if the PS4 is still supported at least 3 more years from now.

there is nothing wrong with the plastic stands on the ps5 slim as long as you get the digital version..

My first PS4 was a Slim 500GB and I got that for £150, my second one, cuz I realised I needed a LOT more Storage space, a 1TB Slim (due to concerns about space where I would be putting the thing), was only an extra £5, so all I know is the Slim, I've never had an original or a Pro! Course, the Pro is still pretty expensive, so that did put me off quite a bit and I only got the matte black PS4, I did not care for any of the covers that they came with, especially the Spiderman one, given my lack of interest in Comic Books, plus not to mention the overbearing amount of advertising that game got! For a game I wasn't even all that bothered about to begin with, I might add!

I replaced the 500G hdd in my slim with a 1T ssd. Easy to do. Also wondering why you didnt just buy external drives instead of buying another console. That being said I also got a ps4 pro just because I was offered great deals on both consoles 2nd hand. The PS branded seagate external drives go for cheaps 2nd hand and you can now use any usb 3 external drive. You just cant use a hub but its easy enuf to organise your games into folders and connect the drive you need to play whatever game because you have those folders. I prefer this way of adding drives rather than redownloading games over & over.

Factory rest your ps4 and install again the last software update

I have played a few PS5 games but I primarily use my PS5 as a PS4 Pro. I purchased most of the games that had PS4 Pro updates or PS4 games that also have PS5 upgrades. I played for instance Days Gone which was a disaster on regular PS4 but it plays amazing on PS5. I played through it and was hooked with the performance of it on PS5 and it was dirt cheap when I got it.

That one port on the back of it is for a PlayStation Camera

No idea why that ear piece got so much hate. It was perfect if you had a home theater system or just didn't want to use a massive headset since it didn't hardly block any outside sound and the mic part functioned just fine. Had mine since I got my PS4 in 2014 and was using the same exact one with my PS5 until it got accidentally sacrificed to the vacuum cleaner earlier this year.

For me the events tab showed tournaments for games so that's what it was used for I think (i.e street fighter and mortal Kombat)

That headset is one of the best ones you can get 🤣

Happy 10th birthday, PlayStation 4!

I used to like hanging out in Playstation Home. Racing my dolphins, dancing with others. Meeting all kinds of people. It was fun while it lasted. I spent a significant amount of money for my apartment, my mansion, and clothes just to have Sony eventually shut it down. I was pissed. It was money for nothing in the end. I couldn't believe they could do that after those of us who spent real money, sony just dropped it.

the events are the tournament game play mode for the games

Given that we've seen a dramatic rise in electricity prices over the last year I wonder if people are still buying PS4s instead of PS5s because they use less power and are cheaper to run. That's one of the reasons why I bought a PS4 Slim and a 42" HD tv in 2021 because of the cost of running a PS4 Pro and a 4K tv being a lot higher.

Along with 2 Sega genesis, a super nes, gamecube, n64, and a switch. Just havent felt the need for it till recently. Although i think i should have gone with a ps3, Especially since the ps4 is firmware 10.01 and cant mod it.

Sad thing is I've never had a ps4. I've been sitting with the same ps3 for about 3 - 4 years now and it's second hand. And as you can imagine it gets tedious using this thing because it's worn out.
