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.

There isn't any "Pro" branding on the console. Sony made it hard to tell unless you know what you're looking for.

The two pictures attached to the SD post can help though. The first one is a Pro, the second one is a Slim.

Pro: 3 layer sandwich with silver PS logo on the top
Slim: 2 layer sandwich with black PS logo on the top
i didnt ask about "pro". my question was to reply about "regular vs slim".

Add me to the list... ordered 1TB slim, got the fat 500GB. I'm on hold with the call center to see what they can do.

Update: Support is sending a replacement and asked me to return the wrong one back to the store when the correct one shows up.

If you called to get an exchange if you got the wrong ps4, ask for shipping. I did a pick up at the store and initially estimated time was same as shipping but then it got pushed back and delayed.

I still have the option to change it to shipping for the original date but they want 37 dollars.

I got my PS4 Slim 1TB (condition looks like you find at a garage sale with all the scratches on the console), the FW is 9.60 and so I JB w/GoldH*N within a few minutes. Disabled all the automatic updates just in case. M

I might add an emulator or something later. Let's see.

I also ordered Slim 1TB and got a Fat 500GB. Handled it via chat and they are shipping me a Slim 1TB replacement as well as sending a shipping label to return the Fat 500GB.
