Is This PS4 Deal Good?

Hey guys,

I just bought a used PS4 1TB Ultimate Player Edition for $350 with four games - FIFA 17, Skyrim Special Edition, Watchdogs 2 & Fallout 4. The console is in pristine condition and the guy also included a sony controller charger. I was just wondering whether this was a good deal or not?

Thank you.

  • Depends… are those games worthwhile to you?
    That makes the most difference.

    The "Ultimate" edition is just the old v1.0 PS4 that SONY tried to get rid of from their storage facility, so they upped the HDD from the standard 500GB to a 1TB.
    The v2.0 PS4 is actually a decent upgrade in terms power consumption and fan noise, and has actual buttons instead of the touchbar.
    You can easily upgrade any PS4's 500GB HDD to a 2TB HDD, and do it quite cheap too.
    I did this back in 2015 as soon as I unboxed it, set me back $109 from Officeworks (Seagate brand, they had a special from the usual $159 price).

    The SONY controller charger isn't really worth anything.

    However, it should be noted that this is probably a better purchase than getting an Xbox One or a Nintendo Switch, or an older PS3 console.
    Simply…. because Games.
    But if you want best value gaming then you have to go with PC Gaming.
    And if you want simply the best gaming experience you'll have to go instead with PC Gaming.

    Examples:
    (RyZen - SG13, r5-1400X, 16GB DDR4-2133, RX 470 4GB, 512GB SSD+2TB slim HDD)
    (Kaby - RVZ02, i5-7400oc, 16GB DDR4-3200, GTX 1060 6GB, 1TB SSD+2TB slim HDD)
    (OLD - Core 500, i7-3770K, 16GB DDR3-1866, R9 290 4GB, 256GB SSD+4TB HDD)

    • FIFA 17 and PC are the worst combination of all time.

        You mean FIFA17 + Keyboard is the worst combination. PC let's you choose your controller.

        • you probably never played FIFA Ultimate Team on PC. Its full of cheaters and bots that you cant avoid, EA does not care about PC. About the keyboard, millions of players still play on keyboard. I used to play with keyboard before owning a console and I know people who are extremely good in FIFA with both controller and keyboard.

    • Somehow that seems more than $350..

      • Blame the minors mining boom (!!!)

  • +2

    I've read that the older PS4 has disc spitting issues. Might be something you might consider… Wouldn't want to be caught having a disc spitting console without any warranty. D:

    • It does, lost two PS4's to the disc spitting issues.

  • I guess so?

    Personally the $300 Xbox one s bundles were pretty damn good but not by much because of games availability.

    I like Halo more than most but PlayStation does win the games variety category by a mile.

    They have PlanetSide 2 also which is tonnes better than any Xbox game you will ever play battlefield 1 and elite dangerous included.

    But Halo… hmm

  • -2

    No

  • sure is if you like ps4 and the controller. they replace computers now for games

  • If you are not so much into gaming but just a need a BluRay good quality DVD player for a Home Theatre what would you recommend … older PS3 or PS4 or just a DVD player standalone

    • totally agree

  • As long as your happy with it.

    Elder scrolls and fallout are my 2 fav series and many hours or months of game play right there.
