  • Why does this PlayStation exist? Sony just started making the PS4 again, even years after the release of the PS5! The PS4 Slim and its price is higher than when it was the latest console to buy! Towards the end of 2022, these Call of Duty MW2 bundles appears on the PlayStation Store…. but for $340 the price seems steep! And reason why this console is still on the market may shock and surprise you, because it may not be what you first expected! Will this be the LAST PS4 Ever Made?

    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.

    PS5 still fairly rare in my area. I literally was able to pick up the last one available at my gamestop. People still out there looking for something to tide them over. If there's a market for it, may as well. I saw a used ps4 at gamestop for $229 for rewards members. Little cheaper, but I don't think you should be paying more than 200 for 10 year old hardware.

    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.

      Entry level price point. Switch is $300, Series S $300 or so. Why not the PS4 Sony's cheapest option. They don't have a PS5 slim yet. Makes sense to me. Sure the Pro/One X are better and could be options but parts or price maybe didn't make them viable but they don't make them anymore either and they were for us gamers I think like the New 3DS was for the more power and games that people didn't get for Switch not the casual that buys COD, and sports games maybe a Sony first party that's PS4/5 compatible besides well doesn't have $500 for a digital or disk PS5. It's about price point not power.

    I mean, at the time of its release, the PS4 Slim was cheaper to manufacture and was a more affordable alternative from the original model and the Pro. Whilst the PS5 has only recently reappeared on store shelves, Sony kept manufacturing PS4 slims because they were to do so whilst simultaneously trying to resolve the PS5 shortage

    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.

      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.

    i LOVE Physical Media. i told myself the moment consoles go all digital (like fully , without having a Disc/SDCard option) it will look like a limited PC to me and at that point i may just get a PC... so on that front Steam Deck seems to have the most value out of all

    I currently am struggling with the Choice of buying myself the Ps4 Bundle with Cod MW2 for the 250€ it is (currently) sold at, here in Germany (I really hope this offer stays till Christmas), or the Ps5 for 470€ for Christmas. I dont really care for any of the Ps5 Exclusives right now or the graphics of it. I just wanna play some Gta 5, Nfs Heat and some Titles like Battlefield or War Thunder and I feel Like the extra 220 € are not really worth it, considering i just got a Job and plan to have some leftover Money to buy Groceries etc.. I would apreciate some Feedback and opinions on which one to buy

    8:10 I CANNOT stress this enough, a DIGITAL PS5 if you've PS+ is a TERRIBLE idea, the flaw with game trackers after they're removed from the PS+ collection is they're then LOCKED OUT of purchasing and to unlock it, you either:
    1) need to buy a disc version
    or
    2) go through the laborious task of getting EVERY SINGLE GAME licence you want reset by Sony via help chat & you need the transaction ID for them (tip if you use your trophies you can narrow down the date you downloaded it or write down the transaction ID at the time I guess)
    add in that you cant take advantage of the free upgrades to PS4 games or play your existing disc library of gmaes and DVD/BluRays via it and the digital one is not the great choice many think

    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
      @fearlesswee5036 10 месяцев назад +2

      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.

      Right now it's £400 for the console and spider man 2 Vs £10 less for the console. Obviously black Friday but pc parts don't come close. It's £60 per year for ps plus. For 4 years (let's say that's how long you keep your pc) that's £640 for the PS5+spider man. Consoles are just way better value, pcs gotta wait till rdna 4 most likely for proper budget competition, even though a ps5 is only about an Rx 6600 in performance optimization makes that an Rx 6700

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.
