The PS4 Slim stands out as a low-cost way to get a huge game library, cheap used discs, and Blu-ray playback, with the 1TB model looking like the best value for the storage. The Best Buy refurb angle adds shipped delivery and an easy return path, which lowers the risk versus marketplace buys. Modding and GoldHen also come up as a bonus for unlocking more games, though firmware and jailbreak support can depend on the unit. The main cautions are the Good condition grading, location-based stock, and the possibility of a slow system unless an SSD upgrade is planned.
Tinkerers interested in console modding, because the system can be modded to unlock the full game library.
Shoppers who want the lowest-risk used purchase, because marketplace buying can feel like rolling the dice while this deal depends on a refurbished unit.
PS4s can reportedly be modded with GoldHen, but the method depends on the console's firmware and older models use different versions. These refurb units may arrive on lower firmware, but the latest firmware is not jailbreakable yet.
The PS4 Slim is a strong value at about $100 if the refurb is in good working condition with a working controller. It offers a large game library, cheap used physical discs, solid-enough graphics, and doubles as a Blu-ray player.
The 1TB model is the better buy for most shoppers because it costs only about $20 more than the 500GB and is the preferred storage sweet spot. With storage prices high, the extra capacity is worth it.
Yes. Buying from Best Buy means the console is shipped and can be returned if there is a problem, which reduces the risk compared with rolling the dice on marketplace purchases.
Comes with a controller, how bad is the controller? lol.
$75 if you use the $5 "bestbuy gaming" coupon, kinda crazy if you consider that dualshock 4 controllers are like $50 new

And with prev gen, external hds are perfectly fine, you don't need the 1TB console.
