Why am I still seeing these PS4s pop up at walmart...? Granted, it's been a couple months since I've seen one, but all throughout 2023, I would find one every once in a while. And still at $300? Come on now Sony... guess I can't blame them if they're still selling them. What do you think?

[@Greenify_]

[@kingforkings]

yeah, the new UI is just for advertising. XMB was so good. PS4 dash was okay.

[@FreshBro8]

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

[@jrob0021]

Tbh I’m not even sure how often you’ll see these in store anymore. It’s been a couple months since Ive seen one (i haven’t really been looking though). The last few I saw were in a walmart

[@FreshBro8]

@@jrob0021 agreed. My local Walmart I see has at least 5 of these in the display case and everytime I pass them as months go on I’m just like “shouldn’t they want to offload these? Put it on sale!” At the same time there’s a sealed copy of gta 5 on the 360 they have on the bottom of the shelf ☠️ so I guess they’re being stubborn

the PS4 slim was the first PS4 i ever got way back in early 2017, still have fond memories of this guy, back in 2019 i traded it in for a pro and then got a ps5 in 2021

[@EmpathizeVortex]

i got my first ps4 in 2014 then the 1tb ps4 a year after cause my first one some how broke then ps4 pro in 2020 and then ps5 in 2021. when i think back to ps4 days, i think of jet engines, crashes and overheating!

[@UltimatelyEverything]

The PS4 Pro still holds up really well in 2023 and games on that system still look good and still run pretty good as well.

[@edenc.m4576]

I have the ps5 but still play on the ps4 pro as it is still running strong with the graphics 🙏🏼

[@antiquefuturistic]

You must be joking, the original PS4 even though 10 years old still looks current gen. The games are getting ridiculously expensive to produce hence they are going slow on updates for next gen. PS4 pro is going to stay current gen. for quite a time in the future

[@UltimatelyEverything]

@@antiquefuturistic Joking about what exactly??

[@alessiodegregorio1969]

True

[@HocusPocus-db2jd]

I can confirm that. Cuz my cousin has a ps4 pro and it's my first time seeing it in person lol kinda bigish but not as big as ps3s 😂. But still. I played some bo3 zombies with him. I'm use to my 5s controller now and the ps4 controller just feels pretty small and uncomfortable but still good lol. Just can't believe how small they use to be back then. I got too use to my 5s controllers I totally forgot how ps4 controllers felt 😂. Wish the day's of golden age of gamings were back

[@maverick024gaming3]

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.

They’re still readily available at the Walmart here where I live. At least 6-8 in the case and a bunch of ps5’s too

I have the same PS4 slim like in the video that I bought in 2020. Still works like a charm.

[@FeloniousSavage]

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

[@mugogrog]

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.

[@Daniel-it1dp]

Goes to show that Sony is a hardware focused company while Microsoft a software focused company

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.

[@docsavage4921]

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.

this is so nostalgic even tho i never brought brand new consoles it so nice to watch people open them ive got a ps5 and pc now but my dad manage to get a ps4 pro for £130 which aint bad we both play some games more

[@Yelawolf269]

Believe it or not, I still use that included earbud, in fact, when my original one broke, I bought another. It's more than perfect for me, as I only use a headset for voice chat, I don't do game audio through headsets

If it's on 9.00 or lower firmware the price will be higher 😁

[@PyromancerRift]

Bought one used for 100$, it was dusty but once cleaned up and repasted it is fine and it had no scratches at all, like new. A 1TB hard drive cost half the price of what i paid for it.

[@KrGsMrNKusinagi0]

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

[@CD-Gaming]

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!

[@danatmonst3594]

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.

[@CD-Gaming]

@@danatmonst3594The 500GB was noisy as hell, the 1TB is much quieter! I've already got a buyer for it lined up now, anyway, an old mate and member of my Xbox Clan, got himself a Profile set up on now, jus needs games! Can't access the ones I've downloaded for some reason, though... I got the Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag/Unity/Syndicate bundle cuz it was cheap, around £16, I think it was, total!

[@dutchgamer842]

​@@danatmonst3594isn't the stock internal HDD, 1tb? Which isn't enough either. Isn't it better to put an 4tb sata in?

[@chocolatewheelchair]

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

[@user-eo4mj8ok3y]

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

[@SkiBumMSP]

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.

[@FrankCostanza82]

That segue to the ad was sneaky

[@pixelgamer83]

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.

[@B-A-L]

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.

[@legostarwarsrulez]

I remember buying a ps4 slim that included a disc of uncharted 4 for $300 back in 2016. Shocked that they’re still $300 and don’t even include a game.

[@reinovanrooyen8915]

I used that ear piece the whole time when I had my ps4

[@360Spider]

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.

[@dominicmako9390]

Jacob, I hope you see my message. My PS4 is stuck in this endless Safe Mode startup loops that is telling me to re install 11.02 Software. This has been an issue since 10.71 I did it and its still in the endless loop. Have you come across this and what did you do to fix 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.

You can play PS4 games as-is, without paying for a native PS5 upgrade if you don't want to. Some games may have minor issues, but they've been mostly fixed with patches and as of now, only 6 games aren't compatible (excluding demos).
