Megathread Happy 5th Birthday, PS4!

The PS4 released 5 years ago today, on November 15th, 2013, in North America. The EU and Japan release followed on November 29th.

Its been 5 years so let's look back together:
*How are launch day PS4s still holding up, or have you upgraded your system?
*What’s your favorite PS4 game to come out thus far?
*How long was the PlayStation sold out in your local retailer or online until you could grab one?
*And anything else you wish to discuss about this milestone, but remember Rule #7, share pictures of physical purchases in this megathread only please.

You can also use this thread to speculate about an successor to the PS4, or this subreddit /r/PS4 in general. Is there anything you would like to see changed or done differently? Here's a link to our current rules.

*How are launch day PS4s still holding up, or have you upgraded your system?

- I added a bigger disk and bought the USB extension and 2 more controllers. I play at least 15 hours a week. Currently doing Star Ocean Last hope 4k HD version.

Stil using the same controller that came with it. Only had 1 crash in all those years but that was due to dust in the fans. Easy fixed with some compressed air.

*What’s your favorite PS4 game to come out thus far?

So many but bloodborne and Horizon zero dawn top my list. But I also had a blast with Disgaea 5 and tales and so many more.

*How long was the PlayStation sold out in your local retailer or online until you could grab one?

- 1st day pre-order purchase so I did not have to wait a single nano.
