Congratulations. Hope you enjoy it 💯
Aww ❤

U gotta play dishonored series they go on sale for about 5 bucks and batman arkam series they go for 5 bucks too or 10 for the whole colection when its on sale theres alot of good cheap games the go for under 5 bucks look at the deals they have goin on
You will like it a lot. I still use mine even though I also have a PS5 too.
I've had my ps4 for 7 years now and it still works just about fine it may take a while to load games and hard to play with my friends sometimes but im just greatful for what i have because i know most people would love to have a gaming console
same
I had for almost 9 years since i got it when i was 8 but now 17

I got my PS4 slim brand new. It's my dream to own a playstation ever since. I was so happy the first time i got a console.. i even hug it after I arrive home ❤️
Why not get a ps5?🤔
@@user-pe7ee8lb1y nahhhh . PS5 too expensive, and also the power consumption of PS5 is too much for my bill
@@KaidePH alright then bro enjoy your ps4
I used to think the same, that my ps4 is enough. But once I bought my lovely ps5 slim earlier this year, I change my mind... It's definitely worth the update! And my ps4 sits comfortably in my drawer and I might want to use it like once a month or so. @@KaidePH
Try jailbreaking man 👌
I just got an original PS4 last week from a pawn shop for $60.
It was "as-is" with "disk issues" written on the tag (I only blasted it with compressed air and wiped it down with isopropyl alcohol and a micro-fiber rag, but the warranty seals were in-tact and the console was unopened) and it began reading discs just fine.
I also added a 1 TB WD Blue SSD ($45 with taxes out the door) to replace the 10 year old 500GB Samsung HDD, and a $3.99 wired PS4 controller found at a thrift store.
Also got a physical copy of Gran Turismo 7, and the console hasn't had a single issue yet.
I got a PS4 at launch. A lot of great memories with the console. 10000 hours in nioh 1
I've had my ps4 normal one for 7 years now. it works PERFECT. no scratches no lag no stick drift its literally in perfect condition without needing to repair it
Mine sounds like a jet engine and keeps crashing not a slim
We had a ps4 for 9 years bc when we moved to a house we got the ps4
open it up and clean it after 9 it will get full of dust and get hot and get louder@@Fmbled
Is it the ps4 slim?
@@Hi-gc6wr no it’s the normal one
I bought one year and a half ago for £180 from CEX here in England. Will keep it until it stops working
You got bumped lmao £180 in 2022? When series s second hand going for less? Or even a damn Xbox one X.
Fr series s is £140-170 used and £200 refurbished
@@gamingedition5165thats simply not true
I bought the ps4 around 2016-2017 for £150 lol
Good for you mate, so many great games on that console
Ps4 gotta be my fav console, so much memories of great games played, GoW, Horizon Zero dawn, and my personal favorite, Gravity Rush 2, Im still fond of that game.
Gravity Rush is such an underrated series. Seriously hope it makes a comeback someday.
Thanks for this video bro❤
PS4 is definitely worth it. I hooked up my 2019 slim again and it still runs like a dream. I also went to Walmart and bought Ghost Recon Wild lands and Red Dead Redemption 2. I even have some of my old games still in my digital library
i’ve had my star wars edition ps4 since i was 8. i’m now 17 and it’s still running perfectly. my best friend and i still play fifa on it everytime she comes over
Damn good job you got ur video recommended
Got my Ps4 Slim during Christmas 2019. I played it 24/7 during lockdown and I had many great memories with friends on PlayStation. I stopped using my Ps4 back when I built my PC during Christmas 2021, but now I got a Ps5 which I use a lot now.
I think in 2024, the Ps5 is a much better option since you could play Ps4 games on the Ps5, plus games are no longer going to bed made for Ps4. And Ps5's are becoming cheaper and more accessible now. I still have friends who never upgraded to a Ps5 and they're still enjoying the games available on the Ps5. I am planning on transferring my photos/videos from my Ps4 to my PC NAS then going to rather give my Ps4 away or put it in the basement somewhere.
na it’s better to sell it, sony will stop support for the ps4 in january
@@brynx24 Maybe in 5-10 years I could come back and mod it.
Just got 2 ps4 systems. 17 games and they are still dropping titles for this system. It’s far from dead hope it gets years of support
No.
That means PS5 is meaningless
@@RageZero115?? an older generation doesnt have to be obsolete for current gen to be "meaningful".
it just becomes the starting model with the older games, like how the ps4 is 30fps without 4k (excluding pro models) and has a bit lower storage and weaker hardware, and the ps5 has all the next gen games, improved graphics, 60fps and default 4k
Hello very good video❤Do you think FC 24 is Gonna perform well?
From my experience it works very well and I've been playing it for years 7 on my ps4
ps4 still good. the leap between ps3 and ps4 was BIG. PS4 still holds up because 1080p is still excellent graphics.
ps3 was better than ps4 in the context of its time
typical console user 💀
It'd more powerful then Xbox one so i give it that
The Ps3 was capable of 1080p it's just game devs at the time didn't take advantage of a lot of the Ps3 hardware
As such most games with expection of a few were 720p that were upsaceled. The leap from PS2 TO PS3 was far bigger than the PS3 TO PS4, The PS3 could play blu rays the same that ps4 can, truly ahead of its time.
i had my ps4 slim since release and this console is crazy. I will just say it, ps4 has to be one of the best user interfaces ive ever seen for a console that isnt the most user friendly now will i recommend. It really depends, its really showing its age if u want to play sony exclusives for cheap then go for it is a goated console. Its pretty slow sometimes but i still play on it to this day but i am gonna be upgrading to a ps5 slim digital soon enough.
Ps4 is still rocking. Great device, some games looks next gen
The PS4 ain't dead
Including the Xbox one
Just let it go bruh 😭😭😭😭 Xbox series s is 160-200 Euros second-hand and MILES better, also ps4 is 11 years old...
@spheal6243 I'm getting a PS5 next year until GTA VI releases.
@@Unknown94731 If you're waiting to buy a ps5 till gta 6 releases you may aswell never buy a ps5 😭
@@Hambaas And I'm still getting it
I played on an OG PS4 since 2015 which wasn’t mine till I got my own PS4 Slim in 2019, I was really happy with it and played on it nonstop everyday even though I had to start off fresh with games like Fortnite. I used it for 4 years till I got my PS5 almost a year ago, I still have my PS4 which runs fine but has hardware defects which I removed such as 1 of the USB ports not working and the disc drive stopped reading discs which I removed aswell. Performance though it runs normal atleast
You know as a kid I always wanted the ps4 and this video has motivated me to finally fulfill that dream (thank you)
Bought mine brand new since 2018 and still playing. I'm gonna keep it even when I get a ps5 or xeries x.
just wait for the ps6
@@FxsxrTrash probably
I just bought a PS4 slim 2 days ago
thank you for your advice
Got a PS4 slim in February enjoying it so far so many good games to play 😊
thank you i am going to buy a ps4 that is new but i wasn't sure. Thank you for reasuring
I’ve had my PS4 Slim since 2016 and 8 years later, it’s still kickin’. My games run good and the quality is good too. The only issue is how much storage I have. Still haven’t got a hard-drive for it.
just get yourself an external SSD 2 TB and you will find a big difference in the loading and also loading the texture and details in the game. Also if you have your PS4 connected with the Internet cord and helps out a lot.
@@MarcShorty23 True. I also swapped the HDD inside my brand new slim, --> to 1TB SSD. Loading times aren't that crazy faster, but it still feels smoother and more fluid. Love it.
@@The500kyeah going ssd it’s always better and not using wifi connecting directly is also a lot better it load the games faster in multiplayer 😊👍👌
Same but my PS4 slim has a problem turn off by itself after 10 to 15 minutes
@@ps-lover8380 Definitely sounds like some kind of overheating problem. But if it's not, maybe the hard drive is failing. Other than that, I cannot say. There's loads of help and guides out there tho.
I got the ps4 slim since 2018 if I remember correctly. And it was brand new then and I still use it today but development, updates and games have slowed suggesting that Sony is planning on ending support for it by 2026. I mostly use it for movies these days. And sometimes I play games on it and it still runs good. PS5 is next level and it’s the better console. I hope they don’t end support for it too soon.
Alsoİ got mine at 2018-2019 had a lot of fun but i cant really play online none of the online games work to theres something wrong with Hole that you put the disc in ive been actually thinking about getting an Xbox series s but at the same time i still love the PS4 and wanna play the exclusives
Wdym by ending support? Will the digital store on ps4 still available in 2024?
I got my ps4 normal one at 2016 and it was after my Xbox 360. I still have both after I bought a ps5 in 2022. I think ps4 does well for its time. Ps4 is still good to this day
I still have my ps4 pro ❤❤❤ the 7200 model w 1TB SSD installed ❤ works like a charm ps4 is not a bad system tbh my original died 2 years ago couldn't update but honesty still having a blast with old gen 🥰
I am offered a cuh-7216 ps4 pro in mint condition for 240 euros . Is it a good bargain? Does your console makes a lot of noise when playing games?
@@nt8538 mine makes no noise whatsoever 240 euro idk about that is it brand new? I paid 129 usd for mine but if it's brand new ig it's okay if not you can try price negotiate with the seller btw u should take care of your game make sure you have arctic mx 6 / 4 thermal pace ,cottons swabs , rubbing alcohol, and id recommend giving it a cleanup ever 6 months if you hear any noise.
@@nt8538 nvm I saw u say it's mint condition yeah go for it
@@nt8538no my console is quite I'd go for it
@@nt8538i have a second hand ps4 pro from about a year ago, it doesnt make much noise (i use it in the living room, its quite far from me
Holy crap I NEED that screwdriver!!
This is the first console I ever bought for myself mines ain't going nowhere 💯💯💪🏾
Still a pretty capable console even now I bought a second hand ps4 pro from facebook for 100$ it has 2 controllers and the usual cables, ended up swapping the drive for a 4TB ssd holds up all my games perfectly
1:42 the cat❤
That’s a car
Wow. 10 years already. I remember when it was brand new
I got mine last Friday I'm pretty happy with it cost 120 came with a TV a few games and the console and a external 1000 gb hard drive
Just dropped on a ps4 pro 1tb glacier for £80. Seems to be working perfectly, so fingers crossed.
I had my ps4 slim for 4 years now and it works perfect
Me too
I think a console remains relevant far beyond its life cycle as long as you are trying to play games released during its period.
Im having PS4 slim with 1tb
Yeh the noise is Like a jet but still working fine, not planing to change it till it comes out the ps5pro
The comments make me realize just how lucky I am for having a PS4 Pro even tho this last year I've been using my gaming Laptop a lot more and I hope to pick up the PS5 slim when GTA 6 comes out but I'm very gracious and happy to be able to have an enjoyable experience with gaming
I recently upgraded from a ps3 to ps5 and xbox series s but i wish i had experienced the ps4 but i might buy 1
Good video. One wrong information is that PS4 Pro supports 4K Blu-ray discs. This is true only for PS5. Consoles from PS4 generation that support 4K discs are XBOX One and One X.
ps4 pro supports 4k dumbo
I believe the One S supports 4k streaming and 4k discs, but not the OG Xbox One
I have over 200 unplayed single-player games on my PS4, but I kept getting stuck on fighting games and sports games. Now my PS5 games are also piling up as well If one game took 40 hours to complete, and I only played 4 hours a week, It'll take me 2000 weeks or 38 years. So yes, it is still worth it.
ill be totally honest, its only when you upgrade to the p5 that you notice the difference. I played on my p4 till last year until my friend let me borrow his p5 and I couldn't go back lol I built a pc because of it, but the p5 really spoils you but the p4 is still a beast today.
i still use mine, but ill switch too ps5 soon, for more performance and better download rate. the old ps4 will still be used then
very good video
Depends on the price. I would buy it but not for the full price. 🤷♂️
In fact i bought one with a psvr for a good price and i don't regret it.
I used to own PS4 Pro. It's amazing console ❤
I've had my PS4 for 9 years and in December of this year it'll turn 10 years old.
La Ps4 vraiment une console pas encore finie apparamment , si non très bonne vidéo
Nice , i got the same generic controller Nowa its very good .
I got it for 7,99€(like10$) from GAME ( console buy and sell franchise in Spain)
I’ve been dreaming of a ps4 since I was 13 years old
Idc if it’s an old console now, I’m definitely still gonna get one
I recommend buying it renewed at GameStop for $169.99 it’s not a horrible price but could probably do better
Can you do Xbox one s next?
I have had my PS4 since 2014, still play many games on it now.
Well then again I still play PS3 as well
Still using my Day one PS4 just fine
Heres a tip you can make your ps4 load games faster and graphics better by just buying a ssd i did it and its a life changer! But not all games will come to the old gen sadly
I have a PS5 slim, but I’m proud to still say that PS4 is still rocking the boat today😊😂
my brother gave me a ps4 6 days ago, idc if it isn’t worth it it’s at least better than nintendo 😊
It is better then the Nintendo switch
Can you please do a video on the xbox one s?
Im still using ps4 since 2014 i safly missed out the legend of korra game
I got a ps3, i honestly think its good for hard core single player type people, i got decently good graphics compared to latest
Im still playing armored core 6 in my ps4 slim 😂 with stock 500GB HDD and it runs perfectly fine
I have had my PS4 for about 6 years now and I still play on it sometimes because now I have a PC and I don't play much games I just solve cubes all day
I actually am now considering selling my near mint ps3 to get a used ps4 pro or whatever it is called. I like the way Fortnite looks.
I’m still using my ps3 in 2024 got it back in 2018 for 70 dollars with 5 games it’s still working
Got me one for 80$ on Facebook Marketplace really enjoying it also have Series X.
I still using ps4 slim and love it :D
I don’t have a ps4 or a ps5 and I’ve always wanted one and I recently found out that Sony is trying to get rid of their last stock of ps4s and they won’t be selling them anymore but since it’s already 2024 I thought to myself if I should buy one but this vid is all I need to convince me thanks 🙏
Thanks for this! I actually own a PS5. Got my PS4 in 2020 new with an extra PS4 dualshock controller for $200 bucks. (While waiting for the PS5) Long story short I keep going back to the PS4. Recently upgraded the hdd to an ssd 1tb. Got more Games for it. I have six official dualshock 4 controllers. Two more games and I'm at 215 Games!
Should I get a mint condition 1tb PS4 pro or a near new condition 500gb PS4 slim ? I am planning on upgrading to SSD ,I have 4k tv and take into account the noise that those consoles make
@@nt8538Go for the pro. You’ll see a massive difference with an SSD when using a pro compared to the slim and the pro supports 4K. Noise though the slim is quieter yet it can still be loud
I still use my ps4 for almost 9 years now and still in good condition i play gta5 fortnite and other games it's not Lagg and fine maybe soon I want to upgrade tom PC gaming
I’ve had my ps4 slim since it came out and it still is good
I have had a PS4 for 9 years now and it works perfectly okay. All the supported games run 45+ fps and good enough graphics for me. I main fortnite which I can play at 60fps with no frame drops. Overall amazing console. No PC would have been able to run these games 11 years after launch.
I have had mine for 8 years, and it works the same as yours :)
Can you tell me the screen size, please.
i have ps4 slim sice 2018 i think games i play is warzone and fortnite sometimes in warzone i have the same problem with the grafic that it is not loaded so overall i think its good for kids or some not difficult games.
Who else has a ps4 slim and it runs out of space after installing red ded redemption2 I love the ps4 and will never give it up😊
That system software update really hit me 😢😂
As someone who actually wants a ps5 but his feed has been full of ps3 videos, but can't afford it right now and barely has half the money for it, I would still go for a ps5, I'm saving up for one. It's going to be my first Playstation. I have a Xbox one s and it's OK but I don't like long loading screens and games take forever to install. It's just too slow for me. I should've asked for a ps5 for Christmas instead of the other stuff if I'm being quite honest. I experienced the ps5 over the summer and it was fantastic, yes everybody been saying it barely has any games but it has perfectly enough games for me so I'm fine with it. It would be amazing to play sonic generations in 4k 60fps on console
The PS4 has one of the Biggest Game Librarys to play through.
Ps4 slim is 9 years old best thing. Never problems .nice games .Dont forget too clean it. ❤
Gave my PS4 Slim so they can play Fortnite and Sims4. But I replaced the 500GB hard drive with a 1TB SSD drive. Of course you have to pre-format it with Sony Software but so much faster loading times.
I've been playing my ps4 for 10 years, and last 2 weeks i switch to PC, i will miss my ps4
I'm saving up for ps4
I bought my ps4 slim on 2020, i have it for 4 years now and i am glad that i have it, but if someone wants to try new games that are not on ps4 but only ps5, i would buy a ps5. I am thinking about it, but probably i will wait for ps5 pro
I purchased a Slim off of Amazon too, the price is pretty bad and the console arrived with a beat up Case shell. It works like brand new but I had to purchase a new case cover. I wouldn’t buy a console off Amazon
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
if you really arent bothered about performance and just play for the fun of it or like story games a ps4 is a cheap option which is still relatively great
@Tech.Clouset can u please tell the monitor u are using with the ps4
Obv xbox
After this video I when to my local game store to get a ps4 all the stuff he said in the video is true so yeah I would get one if I was you 😊
In 2022 I bought a used ps4 cause I didn’t have money it was honestly a pretty good console! But last year I got my self a new Xbox series X and in my opinion I like the Xbox more but they are both great consoles and definitely a ban for your buck!
I have a PS4 Pro, but having a PC with a RTX3060 I rarely turn on the console. Sony has no exclusive games left on this platform
ive had my ps4 since 2013 which is the release date of the ocnsole lmao, and it still runs like a charm and somehow better thant his video
You should really think about whether you want to pick one up. It’s practically obsolete because the PS5 is backwards compatible with PS4 except it can run the games at higher resolutions and better frame rates. If you absolutely insist on getting a PS4, at least get the pro model and upgrade it with an SSD. It’s miles better than regular PS4s.
I got a used PS4 pro a few months back and I'm having a blast with it since I've been using only a PS3 up to 2023
I got the whole thing set up with an additional external HDD and I've been downloading games none stop
I would definitely recommend it if you can't afford a PS5
ps4 is a good console and the my favorite feature is the loud fan that that tell us the console is crying
Man just got a Ps5 and when I unplugged my ps4 slim I felt really bad idk how to describe it :(
I get that i was so sad doing that too, it served me so well all these years just to unplug it one last time after all these years
I did the SSD upgrade for my son's PS4 Pro. It now plays like a new champ! Especially in PSVR.
It does need a fan and thermal upgrade tho, as it will sometimes thermal throttle and get rather loud.
Overall?
I still think it's decent investment. Especially for someone wanting to get into Star Wars Squadrons VR with a HOTAS.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also ALVO & Farpoint VR with an AIM controller is pretty RAD IMO.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I cant wait to get a ps4 for my birthday
i had a ps4 slim for 5 years it worked good but now i have a ps5
How much will be supported
