My PS4 collection is over 400 games and I still have like 200 games in my wishlist. The library is so massive and so varied, I think it'll be a really fun system to collect for a long time. Good vid and good luck on your PS4 hunts!
I been going hard PS4 collecting for the last year or so and this is what I've found: --Common PS4 exclusives like God of War, Horizon, Killzone etc are dirt cheap and will be. A good place to start for most people. --Common PS4 cross platform stuff is also dirt cheap; titles like Prey, Dishonored, Assassins Creed etc. --Uncommon PS4 titles are rising quickly. Titles like Deadpool (although I consider that a rare title) like you mentioned or small pool titles like the Limited Run Games titles with larger runs are going up fast, titles imported from Playasia or Redart Games etc. --Rare titles have already been expensive, are expensive, will continue to be expensive, and are going to go WAY up as time goes on as physical goes away. Titles like Rain World, Sense, The Coma, etc regularly go for well over $100 or even $200. So on some stuff you don't really need to worry about moving on it. Some stuff it's already too late.
@@meanmachine5598 I hope so with Rainworld in particular. $200-$300 for a copy on ebay these days. . I own it digitally currently but I saw that LRG was reprinting it probably on PS5. Unfortunately the PS5 build is buggy and has frame drops; the PS4 version is a superior port.
@@charlesshamseldin9555 unfourtunely it may take some patience, but most of us all have so many games just keep an ear out and enjoy the things you already have. I was upset I missed Xenocrisis when I could have gotten it for PS4 or Vita at a normal sale price. But it recently came around again on a PS5 preorder in a collection of 3. I just see it time and time again lately if you have a few consoles or new consoles that get released games are getting a lot of reprints and new releases on the next console.
When I got my PS5, I transitioned my PS4 Pro into a dedicated PSVR machine. Keep an eye out for PSVR physical games. Many had very low print runs and nobody is buying them right now. I have probably close to 50 PSVR physical games many of which I picked up for 5 bucks at GameStop.
Nice. Been seeing those titles cheap. Just not sure if I will ever get the machine. 64 now and have about a 300 game back log. LOL. Bring on retirement.
100% agreed, and I am glad I am not the only one out there thinking like this about PSVR! My PS4 Pro is basically my dedicated VR system at this point, and I snag titles for it as often as selection and funds allow. I get a lot of weird looks in stores when I tell them I am an active PSVR collector.
Lads, just wanna be real here for a sec. I've been off work for a number of months on sick. My mental health has been deteriorating fast. Your videos have kept me going. Seriously. Any chance you could do something N64 related for your next vid? That console holds a special place in my heart. Cheers.
I'd say the goty/complete editions of games with all or most dlc on the disc like Spiderman, bloodborne, and resident evil 7 are also worth looking out for
So glad i got all my 360 games in 2020 when no one cared and they were all like ten bucks lol. PS4 game and Xbox One games i wonder if that gen will become rare and expensive in the future. Think about it, print runs for physical games in that gen were probably WAAAAAY lower than any previous gen since most people have gone digital, so, once that market becomes hot, will there be LESS copies of games than previous? A good example is Terminator Resistance. That game isnt even that old but the physical PS4 version is pricey due to low print run. Just something to think about. Like GOTG says, GET EM NOW!!
Totally agree with this. Another bonus is you can get “ game of the year “editions. I just bought resident evil 7 gold edition, with all the doc included, for £13 brand new.🎉
I skipped the PS4. My PS3 was a dedicated COD machine and movie player. As COD releases got worse each year I didn't see the point of a PS4. I saw the UI full of ads and that sealed my decision. I still love the clean and simple XMB on the PS3.
@@dav786 the PS4 does have ads in fact I noticed sometimes when I turn on my PS4 suddenly there's a game icon on the home menu that wasn't there before and as it turns out it's just an advertisement when I try to open it.
I got my ps4 3 years ago from Amazon, its a 1TB ps4 slim and it was $299 and it came bundled with 3 games, Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last of Us and God of War. I thought that was a great deal. And I still play it and have fun doing so. And I'm so glad they're still releasing certain games for it. I'm glad they put Street Fighter 6 on there and Resident Evil 4 remake and the new fatal fury game is coming to ps4 next year and its awesome. I'm not a beer drinker but those dessert beers sound so good
I have to admit I was very underwhelmed by the PS4 (and Xbox One) when they were first unveiled in 2012 But surprise surprise the PS4 software library is full of surprises!
I've been collecting exclusively PS3 and PS4 over the last year or so. I'm having a blast just collecting, and haven't played many of them yet. My son is only 8 months old, so I'm stocking up for the future. Hope he likes gaming lol
Started 360 collecting before most of the prices went up but right after some of the first delisting happened. Also got a small PS4 collection going but some of the old games are still $50 online. I think it has a bit further to drop on some prices honestly.
I went hard on the PS4 early COVID when a lot of these stores just wanted a sale. I remember GameStop doing sales like 4 for $40 or 4 for $20 and stockpiling so many ps4 and 360 games at the time. That’s a huge reason why I have over 200 PS4 games 😅
Never bothered to upgrade to a Ps5. I have my series X and my ps4. PS4 will be a great system for years. Even when it becomes “retro” there are a lot of great titles.
I bought a PS5 to play my Ps4 games the faster ssd loading times is worth it alone . Now 155 ps4 games so far have the free 4k/60 fps patch. Playing my Ps4 discs of "Mass Effect" and "Witcher 3" at 2160p/60fps on a Ps5 rather than 1080p/30fps is like playing a remastered game for free .
@@Crashed131963 That’s fair, but considering over 40% of PS players are still on PS4 would suggest that a very large population of gamers don’t really care about graphics and frame rates of remakes over content. PS5 is a good system but this whole generation was ruined by supply chain issues. And that goes for Xbox as well. Not sure what to expect when the pro comes out.
During the actual generation, I had chosen an XBOX One - I got a PS4 a little over a year ago, and now my library for it has surpassed my XBOX One library. It is thanks mostly to tons of retro and revamped vintage titles that have come out for it with the combination of some really nice PS exclusives.
I have 42 PS4 games and have never needed an update or internet connection to play any of them. I've never even had my PS4 online and never had any problems.
I don’t play my PS4 that much but I would say (as cliche as it sounds) is a console that has some great Limited Run Games releases, as you guys mentioned. I try to buy exclusives that were not released on the Xbox One.
Love the PS4. I was way late to the PS4 party, and so, for me, it’s a new and “current” generation system, only with a ton of inexpensive awesome games.
I got my husband a PS4 for $25 just yesterday from a neighbor. When they showed it to me it looked dirty and beat up so I also thought it didn't work. Turns out it was a Destiny edition and just needed to be wiped off a little. If you are familiar with the destiny edition you know why I thought this initially. It turned out to be a hidden gem and my husband couldn't be happier. It even came with 4 controllers that work perfectly.
I still have my ps4 pro and my son's old white ps4. I vhanged the thermal paste and cleaned them, and they are quiet and run beautifully. I have been grabbing ps4 games over the last few months.
Already set with Xbox One and a large library. Got a PS4 inbound. Only $100 for a Batman edition. Have about 4 to 5 games for it. Now I can be on the lookout for bargains and finds.
Thank you for bringing up that a ton of games work fine off the disc with no Internet required! I bought, installed, and beat red dead 2 completely offline. Granted, there were a few instances where an NPC stood up from a campfire and fell through the ground..but we won't won't talk about that haha.
I only got a PS4 and XB1 in 2023, and I’ve always been that way where I don’t bother grabbing the new thing right away. But I gotta say, it’s been super easy and affordable to casually collect a total of 70 games over this past year for these 2 consoles. I’m definitely a fan of the PS4 and my first title played on it was Ghost of Tsushima… well that right there was enough to make me want to collect more for it.
I am currently working on my ps4 console and the Xbox One collection and there so many great games out there. But I do find Xbox 360 and ps3 games here and there. Great video. Keep on Hunting
I would recommend the maffia Trilogy on ps4 Im playing it on ps5 whit the faster loading times and everything, But it stil looks amazing especially mafia 1 remake 👌🏻🍻🎮
Considering I still haven’t bought a PS5 and still haven’t been convinced it is worth forking over $500 for one I would also say yes, the PS4 is alive and well ☺️ Resident Evil 4 remake (RE4 is my second favorite in the series) played just fine.
I like being behind the curve when buying games . I just bought "Horizon Forbidden West " and "Jedi Survivor" for $10 Canadian ($7US) each at a Pawn Shop Bargain bin . Those games were $80 new .
My PS5 has not been getting played as much as my PS4 Pro. I got Godzilla and Deadpool back in 2018 for dirt cheap at a local game shop, and now they are getting some value out of nowhere. I have quite a few physical copies of some good games, but unfortunately I went the digital route whenever I updated the HDD to 2TB. So now I have like 260+ digital games over disc copies 😪 and I completely went digital only with PS5 (Regret) because I had access to a physical version on the first releases through Sony draft. Anyways…you guys rock! Cheers!
The critically acclaimed limited rung games and iam8bit releases are going to be pricey. Some already are. What remains of edith finch, the messenger, nex machina, celeste (lrg), hyper light drifter, gravity rush remastered, rez infinite, blasphemous, outer wilds, transistor, bastion, etc etc
There are a lot of ps4 games already over $100+ will be interesting to see what happens when the ps4 store does close. Ps4 had so many companies like limited run print games. Import games also work and many have english patches
The PS4 is now my 2nd favorite PS console. I absolutely love collecting for it. It has everything. Now is definitely the time to grab stuff. The only thing that is scary is the companies that are doing reprints. If you buy something ESRB that is expensive you could take a hit.
The other thing about running certain PS4 games on PS5, you run the risk of seeing glitches, or graphical issues. There's videos online but some examples are Until Dawn, Shadow of the Colossus and even some Call of Duty games. Always try to play on the original console if you can!
@@SSJ4Vegiito The PlayStation 4 can play HD and 3D Blu-rays, but not 4K UHD. Both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro play HD and 3D Blu-ray discs. These discs go up to 1080p, which is the standard for most devices. However, although the PS4 Pro can play games and stream media in 4K, neither PS4 model supports 4K UHD Blu-rays
I still have the PS4, although I mostly use the PS5 for the games now, but that being said I still actively look for games for the PS4 that I don't have. You make so many great points in this video, and for anyone who would want to just get the PS4 (even the early models) it is a high recommend, such a great console with an awesome selection of games for it.
The problem with new PS4 game releasing right now is most of them are digital only. RE4's Gold edition is digital only except for PS5 and that sucks. I don't even know if Sand Land for PS4 is also digital only because I haven't seen any physical copy being sold online except for the PS5 version.
Been telling people since the first games for PS4 started hitting clearance prices, same with PS5 games, grab the cheap ones wherever you find them. All retail stores tend to put items on clearance every quarter and don’t discount local garage sales, I have found brand new sealed games for just a few bucks.
Collection aside , just recently bought a second hand PS4 Slim for my little brother with a 1 year PS Plus Premium subscription. he's happy with it. has all the games he would need. personally i may get a PS4 for myself just to collect discs down the line , and for current gen i simply chose XBOX Series S (will upgrade to X and a Gaming PC eventually)
I bought a brand new ps4 game yesterday, resident evil 2 remake. still goated console, they will probably make football games, fifa, pes till 2035 or so on ps4. I remember I bought fifa 14 on ps2 in early 2014 in the store. and fifa and pes 14 also came out on ps3 and ps4. 3 playstation generations consoles at once
I bought a PS4 and a psvr from a pawn shop, paid 240.00 just recently bought far point for psvr for 2.00 dollars, I also have a PS3 with games and a soft modded original Xbox with 7000 games.....
I actually have that Deadpool game on PS4. I think this is the first time I’ve ever had a game that seems to be worth some money. Makes me want to hold onto it even tighter now 😂
Great video! I don't think I'll ever get rid of my PS4. It's an all-in one entertainment system for me. I play games and stream all my favorite content. Also, hard drive are super cheap and easy to install if it ever craps out. I have a 6 terabyte external hard drive attached to mine as well. I'll die before I ever fill that up. If you have a PS4, I recommend getting an external hard drive.
I would make a list of games needing drastic updates to function. Many games were released broken and fixed with day 1 patches. Those will be rough when the service is cut and hurting the collector this generation. Robert does cover this
Man I upgraded to PS5 but I'm picking up a ton of cheap used PS4 bangers. Rn buy 2 get 1 free this week at GameStop which is not as good as pawn shops, but still walking away with pretty good steals including steel cases and posters with some of them just try to buy the ones with their og cases the cases may be worth something years later
I am going for the games that peak my interest ,the games that are only on PS4 physically , all on the disc or just ones that were the better version over the Xbox,WiiU etc , Games like Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise, God of war 3 Remastered/ Gravity Rush 1&2/ Loco Roco/ Assault Suit Lynos/Alienation/ Last Guardian etc , I could go on as there are many
I'm still mad that sony failed the ps vita, one of the best handhelds ever made, and that's coming from a guy that loves nintendo products. I still have mine. It's modded and I replaced the battery. Works just fine still. Maybe one day we'll get a vita 2. Probably not though. :/
Keep an eye out for PSVR games and i would say if you haven't already try and buy a PSVR asap. I have a feeling it will go up over time and would be better to have a nice cleaner headset, buying one in good full condition later might be tricky and good complete sets will be expensive.
I still see no need to get the current gen consoles with my PS4 Pro and Xbox One X playing in 4K and games Still being released for them. Cheers boys 🍻
Those fat PS3s in working order have always been expensive. I'm lucky to have one, but we need backwards compatibility for PS3 games on the PS5. That'll help the sales.
The black steed has served us well for along time and as you guys said physical media is ending and I love a collection, I love to own something I can touch and see, to be honest digital games mean alot less to me because there just code floating around in the feather. But to end physical media is ridiculous but I heard it hear first so I thank you for the heads up, lads stay safe and well, all the best from Dublin Ireland.
I personally stopped buying games for any purpose other then enjoying them. For anyone looking to pick stuff up to sell and even collect it's pointless to look at them being valuable. Everything these days is getting remastered and lots of games are just getting reprinted even when you think they are gone. You guys mentioned it yourself with Uncharted being released on PS5. It's happening so much now all over the place with lots of media.
Totally agree. Sure it's nice to find out some games you have in your collection are worth a little bit but playing games is what matters to me as a collector. That's the only reason I collect. Cheers!
It also doesn't help that most games on PS5 right now are also available on PS4 as well. I've never seen a generation with so little exclusive titles and for how long developers have also been supporting PS4 and Xbox One. Couple that with the consoles and games being dirt cheap, and you have a recipe for an affordable option for games. I got a PS4 almost a year ago, and while it's not as good as my Switch, it's certainly cheaper. I'm also getting quality games for less than $20 each.
PS4/Xbox is the generation that brought in half finished games on the disc at launch that requires a day 1 updates to play the game. Once they stop supporting their respective updates APIs most of the games will be unplayable for future collectors. I think PS3/360 is the last gen of collectable games
Do you have any VR recommendations? Light Gun types of games possibly. Just got one for $49. Couldn’t pass it up but honestly I don’t know shit about it
PS4 is far from dead. It's still fully supported and getting new games. But yeah, now is time to start keeping eye on things. Especially for collectors. Anyway, PS4 will eventually go PS3 way. When official support finally ends, community will step in and give it a new life.
PS4 imo honestly is the best Sony console ever made. The ps5 to me is just a ps4 pro’s pro , it’s not really that much greater of a step up and the library physically alone including indie and retro releases is on a level like Super Nintendo , just a massive timeless catalog
My PS4 collection is over 400 games and I still have like 200 games in my wishlist. The library is so massive and so varied, I think it'll be a really fun system to collect for a long time. Good vid and good luck on your PS4 hunts!
Cheers to that! Good luck on your collecting journey!
Still have my Ps4 and still buying physical games for it👍🏽🥃
Cheers to that!
I have a ps5 you don’t ha ha and you suck.
I been going hard PS4 collecting for the last year or so and this is what I've found:
--Common PS4 exclusives like God of War, Horizon, Killzone etc are dirt cheap and will be.
A good place to start for most people.
--Common PS4 cross platform stuff is also dirt cheap; titles like Prey, Dishonored, Assassins Creed etc.
--Uncommon PS4 titles are rising quickly. Titles like Deadpool (although I consider that a rare title) like you mentioned or small pool titles like the Limited Run Games titles with larger runs are going up fast, titles imported from Playasia or Redart Games etc.
--Rare titles have already been expensive, are expensive, will continue to be expensive, and are going to go WAY up as time goes on as physical goes away.
Titles like Rain World, Sense, The Coma, etc regularly go for well over $100 or even $200.
So on some stuff you don't really need to worry about moving on it.
Some stuff it's already too late.
Exactly. it’s already too late for a loooot of titles that were limited in manufacturing. The common titles will be cheap for a long time to come.
Don't worry, reprints are the new thing it's going to be happening more and more.
@@meanmachine5598 I hope so with Rainworld in particular.

Gotta be ahead of that curve!

Been on a serious PS4/PS5 train lately. Been upgrading several 7th gen games to the newer resolution, and loving the hunt.
And you don't even need the console if you've got a PS5.
I've had it since launch and I only have like 5 games for it lol.
Ya there isn't a ton of must plays on the PS5 yet in my opinion
That’s why I’m not jumping to get the PS5😅 not many games i want that’s exclusive to it so far
I gladly swapped mine for a PS5. Had two different models that always sounded like jet engines about to take off.
Makes sense. The PS5 is the ultimate PS4 and more
Did dust it
I don’t play my PS4 that much but I would say (as cliche as it sounds) is a console that has some great Limited Run Games releases, as you guys mentioned.

Rumors are going around about a PS5 patent for backwards compatibility to play PS3 discs 👀
Fingers crossed 🤞! That would be great
Love the PS4. I was way late to the PS4 party, and so, for me, it’s a new and “current” generation system, only with a ton of inexpensive awesome games.
I got rid of my standard PS4 when I got my PS5, but I wish I kept it. Its cheaper than upgrading the storage on my PS5, so I want to get one again.
Thanks for the idea. I didn't realize these things. Therefore, tomorrow, I'm going to go to GameStop and look for some cheap priced PS4 games.

Have you guys ever tryed beer coctail? I tryed it on vacation a few weeks ago. Good stuff.
I am currently working on my ps4 console and the Xbox One collection and there so many great games out there. But I do find Xbox 360 and ps3 games here and there. Great video. Keep on Hunting
I would recommend the maffia Trilogy on ps4
Im playing it on ps5 whit the faster loading times and everything,
But it stil looks amazing especially mafia 1 remake 👌🏻🍻🎮
Considering I still haven’t bought a PS5 and still haven’t been convinced it is worth forking over $500 for one I would also say yes, the PS4 is alive and well ☺️ Resident Evil 4 remake (RE4 is my second favorite in the series) played just fine.
I like being behind the curve when buying games .
I just bought "Horizon Forbidden West " and "Jedi Survivor" for $10 Canadian ($7US) each at a Pawn Shop Bargain bin . Those games were $80 new .
Boom! That is the way to do it for sure
I am almost a generation behind because I get all the games cheaply. I still don't have a PS5 or the latest Xbox. The games are still new to me!
My PS5 has not been getting played as much as my PS4 Pro. I got Godzilla and Deadpool back in 2018 for dirt cheap at a local game shop, and now they are getting some value out of nowhere. I have quite a few physical copies of some good games, but unfortunately I went the digital route whenever I updated the HDD to 2TB. So now I have like 260+ digital games over disc copies 😪 and I completely went digital only with PS5 (Regret) because I had access to a physical version on the first releases through Sony draft.
Anyways…you guys rock!
Cheers!
The critically acclaimed limited rung games and iam8bit releases are going to be pricey. Some already are. What remains of edith finch, the messenger, nex machina, celeste (lrg), hyper light drifter, gravity rush remastered, rez infinite, blasphemous, outer wilds, transistor, bastion, etc etc
There are a lot of ps4 games already over $100+ will be interesting to see what happens when the ps4 store does close. Ps4 had so many companies like limited run print games. Import games also work and many have english patches
The PS4 is now my 2nd favorite PS console. I absolutely love collecting for it. It has everything. Now is definitely the time to grab stuff. The only thing that is scary is the companies that are doing reprints. If you buy something ESRB that is expensive you could take a hit.
Definitely. I do think though some of the limited print stuff could really pop off in the future
@GamingOffTheGrid Oh, for sure. There are already some crazy expensive ones out there. Friggen Poop Slinger 🤣
“The Order 1886”
shocked me with graphics even though it was a 2015 game and the gameplay really isn’t that bad
I have never played this one but have heard tons of good things. I'll be on the lookout for a copy. Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid awesome, it’s definitely worth a play
The other thing about running certain PS4 games on PS5, you run the risk of seeing glitches, or graphical issues. There's videos online but some examples are Until Dawn, Shadow of the Colossus and even some Call of Duty games. Always try to play on the original console if you can!
How can a console that’s powerful be dead stop getting games think of that
Disclaimer: The PS4 and Pro do not play 4K UHD movies. Only streaming.
Good call. I never had a pro. Thought it did but guess not. I know my XBOX One does.
Wrong. PS4 Pro allows 4K bluray discs
@@SSJ4Vegiito The PlayStation 4 can play HD and 3D Blu-rays, but not 4K UHD. Both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro play HD and 3D Blu-ray discs. These discs go up to 1080p, which is the standard for most devices. However, although the PS4 Pro can play games and stream media in 4K, neither PS4 model supports 4K UHD Blu-rays
my favorite ps4 game Days Gone actually runs and looks incredible on the ps5, but it does not run good on the ps4 pro.
Thanks for this comment! Makes me want to give it another try
I still have the PS4, although I mostly use the PS5 for the games now, but that being said I still actively look for games for the PS4 that I don't have. You make so many great points in this video, and for anyone who would want to just get the PS4 (even the early models) it is a high recommend, such a great console with an awesome selection of games for it.
My local pawn shop uses Amazon and ebay prices to sell their games
I just started collecting PS4. It's got a huge library.
Now is the time for sure! Enjoy
Gamestop has a deal on used games right now. So even better time to get PS4 games for cheap!
The problem with new PS4 game releasing right now is most of them are digital only. RE4's Gold edition is digital only except for PS5 and that sucks. I don't even know if Sand Land for PS4 is also digital only because I haven't seen any physical copy being sold online except for the PS5 version.
I was a paid monthly Patreon for exactly 1 year. Will I be recieving the beer mugs soon?
We send them out at the end of the year to all who qualify. Most likely shipping January
@@GamingOffTheGrid 10-4
I've hammered my PS4 collection this year and only really need 4/5 more games to where I consider it complete
I’ve been sniping cheap PS4 for a while now. This is definitely good advice.
Keep on sniping! Now is definitely the time. Cheers 🍻
Been telling people since the first games for PS4 started hitting clearance prices, same with PS5 games, grab the cheap ones wherever you find them. All retail stores tend to put items on clearance every quarter and don’t discount local garage sales, I have found brand new sealed games for just a few bucks.
Collection aside , just recently bought a second hand PS4 Slim for my little brother with a 1 year PS Plus Premium subscription. he's happy with it. has all the games he would need. personally i may get a PS4 for myself just to collect discs down the line , and for current gen i simply chose XBOX Series S (will upgrade to X and a Gaming PC eventually)
I bought a brand new ps4 game yesterday, resident evil 2 remake. still goated console, they will probably make football games, fifa, pes till 2035 or so on ps4. I remember I bought fifa 14 on ps2 in early 2014 in the store. and fifa and pes 14 also came out on ps3 and ps4. 3 playstation generations consoles at once
I bought a PS4 and a psvr from a pawn shop, paid 240.00 just recently bought far point for psvr for 2.00 dollars, I also have a PS3 with games and a soft modded original Xbox with 7000 games.....
I still need to get a VR. I've heard there are some really cool "light gun" style games on it
@@GamingOffTheGrid until dawn rush of blood ( awesome) , far point ( awesome) , doom vfr ( awesome)
I actually have that Deadpool game on PS4. I think this is the first time I’ve ever had a game that seems to be worth some money. Makes me want to hold onto it even tighter now 😂
I wasn't aware of its value until recently. Pretty wild. Great game as well.
Great video! I don't think I'll ever get rid of my PS4. It's an all-in one entertainment system for me. I play games and stream all my favorite content. Also, hard drive are super cheap and easy to install if it ever craps out. I have a 6 terabyte external hard drive attached to mine as well. I'll die before I ever fill that up. If you have a PS4, I recommend getting an external hard drive.
The deadpools and amazing Spider-Mans are cheaper on the ps3
You are correct. Must be that the PS4 versions are perceived as superior. I've only played Deadpool on 360 and thought it played great. Cheers!
I was just playing mine yesterday. I had some golf going on and the Smurf game going on. Lol
Hell ya!!! Wasn't expecting Smurfs but definitely made me smile. Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid Yeah it was very smurfing to play.
I would make a list of games needing drastic updates to function. Many games were released broken and fixed with day 1 patches. Those will be rough when the service is cut and hurting the collector this generation. Robert does cover this
Man I upgraded to PS5 but I'm picking up a ton of cheap used PS4 bangers. Rn buy 2 get 1 free this week at GameStop which is not as good as pawn shops, but still walking away with pretty good steals including steel cases and posters with some of them just try to buy the ones with their og cases the cases may be worth something years later
This might be the last Playstation generation to collect physical. Most PS5 gamers are going the digital route now.
I am going for the games that peak my interest ,the games that are only on PS4 physically , all on the disc or just ones that were the better version over the Xbox,WiiU etc , Games like Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise, God of war 3 Remastered/ Gravity Rush 1&2/ Loco Roco/ Assault Suit Lynos/Alienation/ Last Guardian etc , I could go on as there are many
Fist of the North is a great time. Recently got into that one.
I'm still mad that sony failed the ps vita, one of the best handhelds ever made, and that's coming from a guy that loves nintendo products. I still have mine. It's modded and I replaced the battery. Works just fine still. Maybe one day we'll get a vita 2. Probably not though. :/
Definitely unfulfilled potential with the Vita. They could have done so much more with it.
Keep an eye out for PSVR games and i would say if you haven't already try and buy a PSVR asap. I have a feeling it will go up over time and would be better to have a nice cleaner headset, buying one in good full condition later might be tricky and good complete sets will be expensive.
Thanks for the push. I’ve been thinking about it quite a bit lately
I still haven't seen a good reason to upgrade to PS5 yet. I'll probably end up buying one at the end of the generation if I can find one for cheap.
I still see no need to get the current gen consoles with my PS4 Pro and Xbox One X playing in 4K and games Still being released for them.
Cheers boys 🍻
Totally get it. Cheers!
Gaming off the Grid Sony PS4 time blessed to see all from 1980-Now PS1 PS2 PS3 PS4 PS5 PSP PSV and PSP 2 (PlayStation Portal) what a life of gaming
Those fat PS3s in working order have always been expensive. I'm lucky to have one, but we need backwards compatibility for PS3 games on the PS5. That'll help the sales.
Really hope the PS3 compatibility on PS5 comes to fruition
They made 10.500 Ps4 games that would take a life time to go through let alone ps3 games on the ps5 .
Just got ps4 pro . Picked up gt7 at Walmart for $20 . Racing online like a champ
I feel like we don't get enough of you guys. Keep up the good work!
Been seeing PS4 for like 40$ I've been going crazy with them. I have a lot stocked up and some even modded. I know they will shoot back up..
Hell ya! Now is the time for sure. People are off loading the stuff in bunches
If i only had a PS4 and could only get 1 game a year, I wouldn't be mad right now.
The black steed has served us well for along time and as you guys said physical media is ending and I love a collection, I love to own something I can touch and see, to be honest digital games mean alot less to me because there just code floating around in the feather. But to end physical media is ridiculous but I heard it hear first so I thank you for the heads up, lads stay safe and well, all the best from Dublin Ireland.
I personally stopped buying games for any purpose other then enjoying them. For anyone looking to pick stuff up to sell and even collect it's pointless to look at them being valuable. Everything these days is getting remastered and lots of games are just getting reprinted even when you think they are gone. You guys mentioned it yourself with Uncharted being released on PS5. It's happening so much now all over the place with lots of media.
Totally agree. Sure it's nice to find out some games you have in your collection are worth a little bit but playing games is what matters to me as a collector. That's the only reason I collect. Cheers!
Bought my lad a ps5 and he plays all his ps4 games on it without Internet, bought 15 ps5 games for less than £200 for his bday too...
It also doesn't help that most games on PS5 right now are also available on PS4 as well. I've never seen a generation with so little exclusive titles and for how long developers have also been supporting PS4 and Xbox One. Couple that with the consoles and games being dirt cheap, and you have a recipe for an affordable option for games. I got a PS4 almost a year ago, and while it's not as good as my Switch, it's certainly cheaper. I'm also getting quality games for less than $20 each.
PS4/Xbox is the generation that brought in half finished games on the disc at launch that requires a day 1 updates to play the game.
Once they stop supporting their respective updates APIs most of the games will be unplayable for future collectors. I think PS3/360 is the last gen of collectable games
Nice boys, great video as always. It made my Tuesday morning better. And now I crave a peanut butter and jelly sandwich 😅
Glad you enjoyed! No go make yourself that damn PB&J LOL
If a beer tastes like green apples, why not drink a cider??
I tried getting deadpool back in 2020. It was already at like 80 dollars.
Worth it
I upgraded to my Ps5, still have my PS4 which I use with og vr
Do you have any VR recommendations? Light Gun types of games possibly. Just got one for $49. Couldn’t pass it up but honestly I don’t know shit about it
PS4 is far from dead. It's still fully supported and getting new games. But yeah, now is time to start keeping eye on things. Especially for collectors. Anyway, PS4 will eventually go PS3 way. When official support finally ends, community will step in and give it a new life.
PS4 imo honestly is the best Sony console ever made. The ps5 to me is just a ps4 pro’s pro , it’s not really that much greater of a step up and the library physically alone including indie and retro releases is on a level like Super Nintendo , just a massive timeless catalog
Most of the PS5 games have a PS4 version.
All of my second hand stores are super expensive they run eBay prices
I’ve been looking for deadpool on PS4 for years!!! How did you guys find it for a dollar???
You guys aren't lyin! The PS4 is the new PS2 I think. Look at this library. You can play PS4 games on your PS5, PS4 Pro, AND your PS4.
