Honestly got to hand it to my PS4. I’ve had it since the early days of dating my wife, and she gifted it to me when I was a broke uni student. It’s still serving Armored Core VI, indie games, and movie nights to this day. I’ve pulled it open several times over the years to dust it out and it’s got an external fan add-on to help with cooling. I won’t know what to do with myself when it gives out someday.
Base PS4 or Pro? If the former, a Pro could be a pretty good upgrade. Also not super expensive compared to the base model.
A PS5 is, of course, also nice if your budget allows it. Been happy with mine since its release. Feels like a real step-up compared to the entire PS4 line, even if you’re only interested in PS4 games.
Also, check the firmware of your PS4 in case you haven’t updated it recently. You could potentially jailbreak it and unlock heaps more potential. Emulation and stuff, for example.
It’s a base model. I’m going to keep using it as long as I can as-is, I don’t really have the spare mental bandwidth to tinker (nor the budget to rectify any mistakes), but it’s cool that they can be jailbroken.
Whenever I’m finally done with it, it’ll probably be time for a Steam Deck (probably some time after the release of the SD2, knowing me).
