    My uncle Eric passed away, his son gave my brother & I Eric’s PS4. Meant a lot to us, soon after it started making loud disc eject noises while playing it so we decided to keep it as a display piece. We were hooked with PS4 experience over our PS3 & the PS4 Pro came out the month before Eric’s console started acting up so we decided to upgrade to the Pro. Eric also gave us our first console ever with Turtles in Time & Battletoads Double Dragon along with a SNES. Even later got us Soul Reaver for our PS1 all of these have become must own games to us. R.I.P. Eric thanks for blessing us with such great memories!

      You're not wrong! 🙂
      I'd got out of gaming for a while - life - during the late 80s/ early 90s, but then when the PS1 ands N64 arrived, I bought the consoles because I wanted to get back into it, and so the video game sides of my local video rental shops also became somewhat of a gold mine for me!! I was not longer just browsing the si-fi and horror sections of the VHS tapes, I had this whole new world opened up to me which I'd missed out on for several years!!
      It was brilliant! 😁

I had to get both fixed though but even with the cost of repair it was cheaper than buying a brand new PS4 slim, which costs almost as much as the PS4 back in 2013 which is quite shocking as I remember the PS2 slim was being sold brand new around holiday 2012 for $99.99 CAD and came with a copy of Toy Story 3.

      The difference was back in the day when you got a hand me down console, or computer you could tell the generational leap, vs. what was new at the time. In the last 1/2 of this past decade the leaps have been more about can the new system run the same games at 4K 60Hz vs. 720p/1080p 60Hz, and honestly the average person if you asked them could care less long as it runs well, and the game is fun which is part of why things like the Switch/Switch Lite sell so well.

I missed out on the PS3 but am collecting titles here and there for it. I recently acquired a 8tb external Hdd for my PS4 and a 1tb SSD for my new PS5 I got on March 1st 2022! I love PlayStation. It was the first console I ever pre-ordered and paid for myself. I was there from the start on 9/9/95.

    I have a PS4 Slim and love the thing! I replaced the hard drive with a 1TB SSD just before the PS5 came out. I was lucky enough to get a PS5 early, so the PS4 doesn't get much love these days. I do keep it connected and go turn it on every so often to keep the OS up to date. All that being said...when my PS4 Slim is connected to my 65" Sony 4K TV....it still looks awesome! Just a don't get the full benefit of the SSD, so you gotta deal with some loading screens. I'll probably never sell it because of it's size, and game catalog.

    • @dapperfan44
      @dapperfan44 2 роки тому +1

      I upgraded my 2015 base PS4 with a 1TB SSD in Christmas 2020, mainly because of Crash Bandicoot 4's atrocious loading times. I previously had a regular 1TB drive in it, and the stock 500GB drive before that was moved into my 60GB backwards compatible PS3 when the hard drive that was in that one failed.
      Now I use my PS4 to play games when I'm working on something in the office and can't play the PS5, or to remote play the PS5.

    Wow! I fixed my neighbor's ps4 and my friend's ps4 the exact way he did his refurbishment. I cleaned out my friend's ps4 using my mini vacuum (so much more convenient than using an air compressor) when his fan would be so loud and spin so fast that it would vibrate his room. Then I replaced my neighbor's ps4 hard drive when he hit it with a hammer when his kid got him really angry. You should seen the old hard drive. Poor thing had a oval shape to it instead of it being originally rectangle. I was shocked it was still working after seeing that. Great memories 😁

    I got a factory recertified PS4 last year, because I couldn't get a PS5. I mostly use my PS4 for PS Now because I don't have many games for it right now and I like how I can actually download PS Now games to my PS4, rather than just being stuck streaming them like on PC.
    I'm glad Sony is still supporting the PS4 for those that can't get a PS5. I've got the Slim version of the PS4 and even though many games are capped at 30FPS, I can't complain, because the PS4 is still great for it's time and very on par with gaming PC's, both from around the time and for awhile after it was released.
    It's a nice budget option for those that can't get a PS5 or would just rather not spend the extra money on a PS5.

    Rather than having a large hard drive, I rather have an SSD of the same size as the original. Not for having faster load times, since as John pointed, it's bottlenecked by the interface. I'd want the SSD because it produces less heat and noise, which IMHO are a nice trade-off instead of a large capacity but slow storage.
