We all need to start fighting back now against digital only consoles. It'll be too late to have an uproar when they start only having digital only consoles with xbox, Sony etc being able to keep the games ridiculously expensive, all live service etc. It's going to make gaming much less accessible and affordable. That's without even getting into the games preservation issue we will have with the move to digital only and more live service games. Some of the games we're going to fall in love with in the future will eventually become completely lost to time.

It exists for one very simple reason. Historically, Sony has always offered their previous gen consoles for a minimum of 10 years - the gen before it, PS3, was not discontinued until 2016. This is how Sony offers a "budget" gaming option to people who aren't yet ready to spend money on the latest and greatest. The other two always immediately discontinue their previous consoles.

It would have been nice if Sony included a SSD in this model of the PS4. A revision that would have not been too expensive, but would greatly improve the game-playing experience.

[@vinco1]

There are people doing that as the drive is user replaceable but you'd be surprised how little difference it makes. I mean sure, SOME games might load up to 20% faster but if you did the same in a pc the difference would likely be much larger. It might be because the software is optimized for a slow drive and or because the cpu in the ps4 is very slow and limits the speed at which the console can load data.

If fully digital happens it would be literally tragic. To play games without ever being able to feel and hold the media and without the ability of selling it or gifting it if you wanted to...

Consoles have hidden costs that you're ignoring, like online subscription services and higher game prices at launch, as well as a lack of upgradability and freedom to do and use what you want with it (locked down os)

[@fearlesswee5036]

That's the thing a lot of people miss. It's a lower up-front immediate cost for a console, but you pay for it big time in the long run. Online subscription fees, more expensive games (a part of the reason console manufacturers are pushing to move for all-digital; it's all about having more control over the prices placed on games), and when the next generation comes out, you need to fork out another big fee for a completely new system. On PC, you can just upgrade a component that's kinda lacking (and sell your old one to recoup costs), or just run the new game on slightly lower settings since there's no "generation lock". And heck, console isn't even really cheaper upfront if you build your PC yourself, and know how to shop for parts (especially if you go for used parts here and there.) I play on PC, but my father plays on XBOX. The amount of money he's had to shell out for XBOX Live alone over the years could've bought him a PC that melts even mine, nevermind the cheaper games and other benefits.

I got a OG fat model 1200 series from 2016 in a trade. Listen if your welling to wait like me grab a "used" ps4 slim or pro off marketplace or whatever site you have like that in your area. Now if new is what you prefer by all means go for it with Ps extra and the free to play games on PS you should be good! XD

Got my PS4 slim about six years ago and got it on sale for $275.00 new (Canadian currency), no games included, though I picked up Doom (2016) & Ratchet & Clank (movie game) used and a 1 month subscription for PSN (until I got paid, so I could get a 12 month subscription). Still have my PS4 Slim (not buying a PS5 anytime soon).

I bought one PlayStation 4 Slim 500 GB in June 2021

[@HouseofWhop1917]

I just got a used PS4 Pro for like $99. Put a 2TB SSD in it, replaced the thermal pads and paste and it runs great. I was going to get a PS5, but I just can't justify the price when all the exclusives eventually end up on PC, cross-gen with PS4, or just aren't worth it.

[@tonyoverstill7587]

Why on earth did you replace the pads and paste?? Its a console, just take good care of it and it will last simple!

[@HouseofWhop1917]

@@tonyoverstill7587 Just because I take good care of it, doesn't mean the person I got it from took good care of it. Seeing as how the warranty stickers were missing I knew I wasn't the first person to open this console. The pads themselves were falling apart and covered in dirt. The thermal paste application was not that well done. Ironically, performing maintenance and cleaning a console is taking good care of it because now I don't have to do it again for a long time.

[@edgaryzen4925]

I have both PS3 and PS4 consoles and i somehow still love playing on the ps3 with my siblings! it's been 10 years since i bought it and Black ops II Zombies mode is still so fun! and of course you can play online for free even tho there's barely anyone still playing it

[@WaynesWorldUnlimited]

I’ve had every single version of the PS4, and I’ve still got a PS4, slim. I don’t use it anymore. I have a Xbox series S and an Xbox series X which I’ve only had it for two months

[@williammoore3747]

I bet that Playstation is trying to get rid of the PS4 systems with having COD MW II ad on the front of the box to make room for PS5

[@CrocoDylianVT]

even the argument of buying it for the controllers falls apart cause you can just... buy a brand new controller separatedly since they still sell those

[@tired_boy]

Theres a brand new ps4 in my local walmart like a standard ps4 not the slim

You want the ultimate gaming rig ? Buy a second hand ps4 pro with firmware 9.00. Open it and clean, replace thermal paste upgrade hdd to 2tb cheap ssd. Then jailbreak it and you’re in for the best gaming rig ever.

I got mine for £220 so about $250 back in 2017

[@PyromancerRift]

I got a slim for 150 bucks and this is the best version. It is VERY quiet because it use very little power.

[@RadioCraftZ]

The reason why there is produced PS4 Slim and not Pro, is because the price difference isnt enough minor between 4Pro and 5, that those who desperatly WANT to game on SOMETHING would rather go for PS5. So other words, PS4 is meant as budget machine. You might say that $300 is still too much, but the production didnt get any cheaper.

[@JosephMuhammedAli]

I bought my PS4 Slim in the beginning of 2019 for 140$ and its very good yet and im playing BF2042 with no trouble

[@ItsChicoYo]

I mean, 339 dollars is too much, but i would def buy a brand new one for 200, the PS4 is still getting the most recent games and they run surprisingly well, i would say the console will still get ports for the next 2 years.

[@jesuspena324]

Picked up a ps4 pro for less then what I paid for a ps3 in 2023💀 my biggest steal this year was a $15 white ps2 🫡

[@notatechguy1209]

You made some good points in your video and you are spot on with your reasoning for Sony still selling the PS4 Slim at $330. But you are way off base in saying that the PS4 is a thousand times better than the Xbox One. I agree that the base Xbox One was underwhelming but the Xbox One S did do an okay job of closing the gap between those two consoles. For one, if 30 fps was the frame rate developers were shooting for it was for both Xbox One and PS4, you worded it as if Xbox was painfully behind in FPS and that just is not true. The first few COD games of that generation were 900p on Xbox One S and 1080p on PS4 both with 60 fps and dynamic resolution. The Xbox One S actually ran better in Call of Duty Advanced Warfare due to the lower resolution and it actually hit the 60 fps cap more often than the PS4. Now, the later COD games like the Modern Warfare 2 remade did perform 5 to 10 fps better on PS4 than Xbox One S in single player but Online wasn't as bad. Plus, PS4 did not have HDR at launch and Xbox One S had 4k HDR upscaling which meant if you had a good 4K TV Xbox One S could match and even beat PS4 in visuals in some titles. PS4 had to rely on dynamic resolution just as much as Xbox One S and did not give a solid 1080p in most cross-platform games. For the most part, if a game was 1080p on PS4 it would be 840-900p on Xbox One S with a dynamic resolution which usually meant halving the pixels on the horizontal axis on Xbox One S but with games that supported 4K HDR upscaling it was not a major issue. Take a game like Far Cry New Dawn, it plays at a lower base resolution on Xbox One S than PS4 but with 4k HDR upscaling it looks better on Xbox One S. Mafia 3 runs at 900p with halving on the horizontal axis compared to 1080p with dynamic res on PS4 but because it runs at a lower res it did not have the same amount of screen tearing as PS4. To be honest, a lot of PS4 games could have run better if they went for 900p instead of trying to force 1080p in some games that just couldn't cut it. As far as which one to buy used right now I would say that depends on what exclusives you like best. I preferred Tomb Raider to Uncharted, and the Gears and Halo games over God of War and Horizon. Not that I don't like some of the PS4 exclusives but I like the Xbox exclusives better. Plus, all of the major exclusives that I bought the PS4 to play were released on PC over the last few years. So if you have a choice between Xbox One S and PS4 Slim right now I would say buy whichever is cheaper if exclusives are not that big of a deal for you.
