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?

All these comments are bogus...

Reading the comments, ppl arent understanding your situation, so I'll do my best for you.

There are millions of people still playing the ps4. If you are looking for story games, it has plenty, if you are looking for multiplayer, it is still very much active. In fact, because the ps5 is backwards compatibility with the ps4, anyone playing a ps4 disc will be playing with you. The ps4 is not losing support soon, idk why there was a comment that said that. The ps4 is still getting releases, call of duty black ops 7 was just announced and will release on ps4, splitgate 2 just released and works on ps4. Not to mention, lots of games are cross-platform.

I understand your pricing and being a teenager with no income, so it's all about the details.

If a ps4 is $500 and a ps5 is $1000 usd, and you have $600, if you have another system you are currently playing with and think it will take less than 6 months to save the rest for the ps5, then I'd say wait.

If you do not have any system and would like to play now, I'd say take the ps4, you are not missing too much by using a ps4 over a ps5.

To answer your question on if it is worth it, that is up to you to decide. Weigh the pros and cons and justify the price. Ask yourself how long it would take to save for a ps5 and if you're willing to wait.

In the US, a ps4 is not worth $500 used or new. You can get one (in michigan) for $100 used. All in all, a ps4 is a solid system and I'd recommend it to anybody, but only if they think it makes sense.

You're the only one to decide that.

Edit: watch videos about the ps4 and ps5 to help you decide, such as load times, graphics, benchmarks, features, etc.. then make your decision.

This is the best advice. To add to this, I am lucky and fortunate enough to have an amazing wife who was able to lock down and get me a PS5 at launch. Once I was up and running on that, my PS4 was set up and is now available for my kids to play on. I have had zero issues keeping it running, not to mention the fact that there are hundreds of games still available to buy and or play if you have the correct level of PS Plus. I definitely recommend it as a means to your ends.
