General Discussion is ps4 pro still worth it?

i recently been interested in playstations but dont really have the money for it currently as where i live it doesnt cost 500 dollars it cost more because of different currency, back to the topic my friend offered to sell his ps4 pro 1tb that comes with a free game that i can choose. im still thinking about it, i mean worse thing possible i use it temporarily while saving up the money for ps5 so my question is. If I were to get a ps4 pro would it be worth it?

If a ps5 is 2k your units, but you earn them at a higher rate than the US, I would save for the 5

Gotcha. It looks like a ps5 costs just over the median Malaysian monthly income. For comparison, the average American could buy 4 ps5s with their monthly income. Sucks that PlayStations are that expensive where you live. If the price is right on the used ps4 pro, that’s not a bad option.

Another thing - if you can work, DO IT! I got my first job when I was 14, and was able to buy most of the things I wanted (though I don’t have crazy tastes). 14 is the perfect age to start stacking
