These refurbished PS4 deals are mainly attractive for cheap access to Sony's last-gen library, especially the 1TB models and the Pro if you want extra headroom for modding or smoother performance. The consoles often include a controller and cables, and the system can be a solid value for disc-based gaming and Blu-ray playback. Firmware varies, with some units arriving on jailbreak-friendly versions and others on newer builds. The biggest drawback is fulfillment inconsistency, since the wrong model or storage size has shown up often, and condition can range from decent to heavily used.

Common Questions (5)

  • Yes. Orders have arrived as a Pro instead of a Slim, a Slim instead of a Pro, and 500GB units instead of the advertised 1TB model. Check the box before leaving or opening the shipment, because Best Buy has been replacing wrong units or issuing refunds/exchanges when contacted.

  • Units have shown up on a range of firmware versions, including 9.60, 12.00, 12.52, 13.02, and 13.52. That matters because jailbreak compatibility depends on firmware, so many buyers are checking the version before updating.

  • The Pro is the better pick for modding if you want more compatibility and extra headroom for patches and performance tweaks. The Slim can still be modded, and some buyers prefer it for lower cost, lower power use, and the option to add an SSD instead of paying more for the Pro.

  • The 1TB Slim is often treated as the value pick, especially if you want the cheapest route and plan to use an SSD or external storage. The Pro is worth the extra money if you want smoother performance, better patch compatibility, or more headroom for modding.

  • Yes, the bundle includes a controller and typically comes with HDMI, power, and micro-USB cables. Some units arrived with new accessories, while others had used cords or a beat-up controller, so condition can vary by box.

bought a used ps5 slim , ,for 300 on facebook market place. Its now jailbroken.I have a raid 0 , 32TB drive hooked up to it at 500MB/s on USB-C which is 10gbps .Ps4 is using a obsolete 5gbps usb port, sucks for jailbreaking. ps4 is obsolete , all the games are on PC and so are recomps like bloodborne which run flawlessly. You can get real 4k out of a PC which the ps5 cant even do true 4k .Only buy this if you like collecting physical games and filling up your house with nonsense.I have 1k ps4 games and already over 100 Ps5 games on my jailbroken ps5 slim.PC is just better imo even for a mid range pc if you have storage. PS4-PS5 great for portability and arcade cabs, other than that complete trash and especially way you have to pay to go online.
We're talking about a 100 dollar gaming system here not a battle station. Not everyone has the money to go out and buy a gaming pc and not everyone cares about 4k. This is a perfect way for someone to get back into gaming for cheap or someone looking to learn about jailbreaking and the potential that it has.

It's insane to me I bought a ps4 brand new a decade ago for $200 on Black Friday.
Decade ago Mcchicken was $1. It's called inflation and Covid

so I just got both of mine
I ordered 2 separate regular ps4 1tb for $100 each.
The first order, they sent me a pro!

the pro has software: 12.52

they each came with an insignia 9' micro usb cable, hdmi, power cable and controller

edit: the slim 1tb has 13.02

so I should stay on these versions? or it doesn't matter if I upgrade to the latest since 14.0 can be jb

So you're going to return the first one since they didn't send you what you ordered, right?

What shape are the controllers in?

And stay on the FW you have. The 14.0 JB looks more like a proof of concept at the moment.

Keeping them. Not even sure if I have the time for the jb. Was looking to load it up for my nephew but I got him a ps5 on launch. Crazy how the prices sky rocketed thanks to all this ai stuff. The controllers, they seem ok. The back sticker thing with the wording is basically rubbed off completely. After reading a post here, I have to check if they actually sent me a 1tb slim vs 500gb


edit: slim is 1tb

Maybe someone mentioned this already, but 1TB NVME drives are currently going for around this price.

Has anyone shucked a PS4?

Unless someone receives one that's been upgraded these all should be spinning rust.
