    I recently obtained my 486th physical title for ps4. I sometimes glance at the collection and smile, not because of the size but because of its variety. Any genre at any time, it's truly what gaming is about.

    I recently picked up a PS4 Pro for $300 and put a 1TB SSD in it and as someone who owns a PS5, I can confidently say that PS4 is definitely worth playing/getting in 2022/23.

    Preach on. I haven’t gotten a PS4 yet, but I picked up a XBOX One at a Salvation Army a few months ago, which makes it the newest console I own. Discovering the great library on it now is the perfect time ..I love being late to the party! Have a great week guys.

    PS4 is an absolute must own. Currently there is no need to buy a PS5 and certainly no way to justify dropping $500 on a system alone. I just bought a Spiderman PS4 Pro Bundle with 10 games for $250, an absolute steal. I am buying as many cheap bangers as I can for PS4 while its easy to do so! Thanks for the video fellas!

      @@tr1bes true and to max out storage on a ps5 is much more expensive) a 8 tb nvme (microcenter has one) is $999.99. Still pretty pricey on a ps4 though and to be fair you can re-use it. So your ps4 investment will pay off for when the ps5 pro is out. And NVME storage might of come down by then somewhat
      There are some exclusives on the ps5, but guess what will be cheap when the ps5 pro comes out? If not simply bundled with one.
      And frankly it still feels like the 6 month period 2 years into the ps5 lifespan. Its literally reliant upon last gen games with slightly better graphics and better frame-rate and better load times than anything truly substantial. That and better resolution.

    This is so cool I just cleaned my ps4 last night, it sounded like a rocket taking off every time I played it, I took it apart and cleaned the hell out of it and it so quite again it's ridiculous. Hopefully I can get 5 to 10 more years of of it. I play my ps5 through remote play on the ps4 when I'm in my bedroom and don't want to go down stairs to the mancave.

    Last gen is still very relevant. I was just thinking about this today. Graphics and content on PS3/360 had arrived fully that generation, but the tech still struggled to maintain a solid 30 FPS with convincing draw distances in outdoor environments or busy firefights, and the supermajority of titles ran at less than 1080p. PS4/X1 pretty much carried on with graphics and content, with the new tech facilitating more visually believable worlds. PS5 is pressing it further, but with less of a jump. Play any open world game on ps4 pro and soon you'll forget you're not on a PS5...

I know you guys love The House Of The Dead & Time Crisis series so i would encourage you to check out Crisis Vrigade 1/2 & Until Dawn Rush Of Blood. I always looked at VR as a novelty until i finally bought one with some credit i had at a local game store but my mind was blown the first time i played it.

    Great video as always guys! My biggest thing with my PS4 pro is the shotty disk drive. I was lucky enough to get a PS5 early on. I just keep adding more games to my back catalog. And one thing that pisses me off is there are games that have ZERO on the disk. I had to download the entire game. What is that going to do us collectors in the future? I guess keep collecting for the older gens..... I also know that same pawn shop. They are trying HAAAARD to get rid of those games.

    I love the PS4. I have the Spiderman PS4 Pro. It does still have advantages on a 1080p screen due to graphics super sampling. It makes games look better. I still play mine from time to time.
    I think it's a great time to jump in and get games for the PS4. I have a PS5/XSX and honestly it's been an underwhelming generation for me. Outside of Ratchet and Clank nothing really has that wow factor for me.

    The PS4 is awesome. I bought the Pro brand new back in August 2018, as I was super excited for Spider-Man which I pre-ordered before I even had a console to play it on. I had to save up at least a monthly salary and a half to buy the system, so it has a lot of sentimental value for me too. To this day, I play it daily and have accumulated so many games over the years, both physical and digital. I even collected most of the exclusives. I was considering a PS5 because the PS4 Pro was noisy recently, but what I did instead, was save that 500 bucks and spent 30 to have the PS4 cleaned and repasted. And now it's silent and I am still playing the hell out of it, with more games on my radar that I am looking forward to adding to my collection. I may get a PS5 when it gets cheaper, a better looking model comes out, or my PS4 is damaged beyond repair, but for now, I'll still with the good ol' Pro.

    Btw the PS4 is super easy to upgrade the internal drive on and storage is really cheap these days. You just need a 2.5" laptop drive.
    Personally when I need a 2.5" drive, I grab Seagate backup plus slim 2TB external at Walmart for 60 and shuck them. Cheapest way to get a new drive and you also get a USB 3.0 to SATA enclosure. I have like 5 from modding 360's lol.
    An SSD is an option but I think only Pro's benefit from having it internal. Alternatively you could go bigger and get a 4tb hard drive for under 100

    PS4 is a top tier console, regardless of issues like C-bomb (resolved through software update) or issues from late 7th gen onwards like unfinished games or day one DLC, it has so many zinger games. I like weird jrpg’s and the western RPG’s that aren’t Witcher or Dragon Age Inquisition, stuff like Bards Tale, and indie platforms, Metroidvania. PS4 has been great to collect these games for physically. Some of my coolest, and most generally underrated games physically in my collection are PS4.
    Zanki Zero - survival post apocalyptic grid based jrpg with aging and reincarnation mechanics. A unique game.
    Blasphemous - gorgeous, souls-like metroidvania
    Cloudpunk - cyberpunk floating car delivery driver simulator - what? Has a nice physical release
    Record of the Lodoss War : Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth - metroidvania with the best name ever? Based on the oldschool D&D campaign inspired anime.
    PS4 is great for people who love those iconic “Sony” type AAA games. It’s great to play this generation’s multiplats. Best system for JRPG’s since the Vita and 3DS, excluding that, since PS1 and PS2. Good system for 2d platforms. Great for Metroidvania. Great for people who still like physical releases. Back in 2013 it was looking like it would be a dead generation but since like 2016 (I guess??) it’s been pretty cool.
    There’s also tonnes of really cheap games, and lots of the niche physicals were cheap upon release at least. JRPG’s were also cheap at release. Some are still really cheap.
    I did spend mega money (£700) on a boxed, new PS4 pro “500 million” special edition, translucent blue, but it’s my first and only PS4 and I waited for years. Could’ve got it for £500 but didn’t have the money back then. I’ve always been a big collector of consoles and especially translucent blue stuff. Translucent blue N64 is my absolute favourite.

    Great video. I've really warmed up to the PS4/Xbox One generation. So much so I think its where I am going to stay until late in the PS6s life cycle. I picked up both a PS5 and Series X....but not to play new games....to play games from the PS4/Xbox one era with faster load times from the SSDs and Quick Resume on xbox.
    As far as I'm concerned I'm content until end of next gen (PS6 era). Long live gaming off the grid!

    Fellas, great guide, especially around the holidays. I just sent this video to a friend who asked if a PS4 is still worth it so thank you. No one can deny the library of games is solid and prices on physical games couldn't be better. Now is definitely the time to buy. And the funny thing is I spent more time playing my PSVR games than all my other PS4 games combined so I may be THAT guy. In all fairness, I play my Xboxes and Switch more so there's that. And on a final note, I completely agree about the PS3 controller. Great Jerb! ✅

    This video was great, and timely for me. I am an OG gamer from the 80’s. NES and all that. Now 42, a homeowner, full time job and two kids in last two years gaming time is rare. But, I love games and there’s a lot I want to play. I have accepted not getting PS5 and that generation. Maybe PS6 if/when kids are into it whenever it comes out. Maybe a different console then. I didn’t get PS4 until 1.5-2yrs after it’s release. Was very much enjoying 360 still. I still do. Now PS5 out two years and there’s zero FOMO because there are so many 360 games I want to play, let alone PS4 games - so many great high quality games! And games from those machines I want to replay! I get peer pressure as a kid and FOMO that comes with that. But as an old fart there’s none and it’s great cuz as you said I can get amazing games for smokin dirt cheap prices!

    If I could find one for wicked cheap, I'd probably pick it up. The indie titles are mostly what I'd be interested in. I do have a few of the limited edition controllers I found for a good price, but I can use those on other hardware including PC. I've been using the PS4 controller on my PS2 in my living room setup, which is pretty sweet. I've missed out on most generations over the last two decades, so the backlog is growing...

    I will say this: even if you’re not interested in owning the PSVR, I would recommend playing Astro Bot: Rescue Mission and Until Dawn: Rush of Blood on a friends setup. They’re $10 games at this point and must plays. Astro Bot plays like a Super Mario 3D World and Rush of Blood is an on-rail shooter - more fun with the move controllers.

    I gave my PS4 to my cousin when I was able to score my PS5. There are a few games that can't be played on PS4 (Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart and Saints Row being my favorites), but a good chunk of games I play are PS4 games as well. As hard as it is to find PS5 consoles even now,PS4 still has a lot of life left in it. May have to do another Mass Effect Legendary play through sooner rather than later.

For collectors PSVR is a must because PSVR is the only console that has physical VR games, Moss VR is that one title I slept on when it was $25 now used it can go for $60 or more.

    I could talk for DAYS about the PS4. If I have knowledge for any console, it’s THIS one.
    PS4 is certainly a power house and even apart from the exclusives (which are many) it has SO MANY fantastic indie titles.
    The PS4 controller is wonderful like you mentioned.
    The PSVR is fun. I enjoy it for survival horror games but it’s so nausea inducing. The Oculus is a step above.

    After I sale my PS4 Slim in 2021 because I buy a Series X, I miss it because I doesn’t own a PS5 and I realized, that the ps5 isn’t interesting enough to pay 550€. In Nov '22 I walked in a Electronic Store and there was a lot of original from Sony refurbished OG PS4, PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro. I decided to buy the PS4 Slim with 500 GB. It cost 180€ with an original and new controller and one year warranty. I've always found the Slim to be the best PS4 because it's the quietest and still performs very well overall. Since then I've been catching up on some PS4 exclusive games I missed back then and can even still play some new releases like GoWR. I know that 2023 is the end of the PS4's time. When it does, I'm going to get a PS5 Slim. I'm sure Sony will announce it in 2023. As soon as it costs around 350€, I'll buy it. I can wait.

I am way older than most of the folks here in the video game community but in my opinion the PS4 could go down as one of the best ever consoles.

    Although I have retired my Xbox One in favour of a Series X, I still run my PS4 slim here in August of 2023. I agree with your logic, I generally wait until a few years into a generation before buying a console when games have come down in price. I didn't get my PS4 until the Black Friday sales of 2019 and got my PS4 slim with 3 games included for $250 Canadian plus tax. Great deal, especially considering that the pandemic and chip shortages hit just a few months later. Plus, I had a slew of games available to me cheap by then, which I took advantage of. I had a similar experience with my Xbox One, it was great. I don't need to have hardware or games the moment they come out. I always watch the sales. I may consider a PS5 slim if and when they come out, the good thing about it is that I can carry all of my PS4 games forward to it.
