These Geek Squad refurbished PS4 deals stand out for cheap entry into console gaming, especially the 1TB Slim and PS4 Pro models. The consoles can be jailbroken on older firmware, and the Pro gets extra interest for modding, smoother performance, and better headroom in some games. The bundle usually includes a controller and cables, and the system can double as a Blu-ray player. The main drawback is inconsistent fulfillment and condition, with wrong models, scratched units, and garage-sale-level wear showing up often. It is a better fit if you value low-cost hardware and can check the box before leaving.

Common Questions (5)

  • Yes, many of these PS4s can be modded, and firmware matters a lot. GoldHEN-based jailbreaks were reported working on firmware versions like 9.60, 12.00, 13.02, and 13.52, while newer firmware may not be jailbreakable yet.

  • The Slim is the cheaper pick and can be a better value if you just want a console, while the Pro offers smoother performance and more headroom for mods and patches. The Pro is also the better choice if you want extra compatibility for jailbreak tweaks or faster-paced games, but the Slim can be enough if you plan to use an external drive or just want to save money.

  • Units are listed in Good condition, but some arrived heavily used with scratches, missing labels, or beat-up controllers, while others looked fine. Included accessories commonly mentioned were a controller, HDMI cable, power cable, and micro-USB cable, though cable types and controller condition varied by unit.

  • Not always. Orders for a 1TB Slim or Pro have arrived as a different PS4 model or even a 500GB unit, while some buyers received the exact console they ordered. It's worth checking the box before leaving or opening a return/exchange if the model or storage is wrong.

  • Yes. Buyers reported getting exchanges handled in-store or through chat, with Best Buy sending a replacement and a return label or keeping the returned unit and reshipping another one. Shipping an exchange can cost extra if you switch from pickup to delivery.

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 ps4 is obsolete , all the games are on PC and so are recomps like bloodborne which run flawlessly.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.
