Ps4, it’s time to say good bye.

[GuEiMiRrIRoW]

Well, I just created the mental strength and I sold my ps4. I'm the kind of gamer who really becomes attached to their consoles.

But since the PS5 will run every single game I have, I just sold mine to prepare for the future. I'm not on ps5 day one. I'll wait a little bit sinceI don't live in USA and I'll try to visit the country on a free Donald Trump land next year by march.

It really feels strange when I sell a console. It's always a sad day in my life. I never understand this: why grow attached by a piece of metal. It makes no sense but that's part of being human or just a part of being a game fanatic.

By the way, sold the console with one game (Batman Arkham Knoght) plus 2 controllers on the box for 280 dollars. I live in Brazil, so used systems cost more than normal. That's good because I buy my videogames in USA, so it's a manner to cut costs.


Anyway, I look forward to buying a next gen console. But I wonder, will you guys sell your ps4 or keep it for emotional reasons?

 

[Like the hat?]

Keep. There's bound to be that one game you love that has issues when playing on BC.

 

[kodax_shc]

I'm going to hold onto my pro. I did sell my base PS4 a couple years ago though.

 

[Musubi]

 

[Man Called Aerodynamics]

Sell! Not right away though. I'll play Miles Morales and Horizon 2 on it then upgrade to PS5 whenever the next Uncharted comes out.

 

[Manu]

Do we even know whether all games will allow you to transfer your saves? Because I'm not restarting Monster Hunter World on PS5.

 

[DC5remy]

Wait, post has 2 questions but poll has yes or no lol

 

[RockmanBN]

I kinda wanna keep my Spiderman PS4 Pro despite the PS5 rendering it pointless.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

I'm holding onto mine for at least a little bit to make sure all of my games actually work through BC beforehand. I know the list is only 10 games that aren't working but that doesn't mean others don't have glitches and shit.

 

[Deleted member 70788]

I just sold my pro on eBay last week for almost $400 with 2 controllers and a handful of games I don't play.

 

[Mr.Vic20]

Keeping it, as I downstream all my consoles to my kids for their bedrooms.

 

[CloudsFromSpace]

Keep. There's bound to be that one game you love that has issues when playing on BC.

I dunno. Sony's BC solution seems pretty comprehensive. Maybe it's not quite as thorough as the Xbox approach, but it doesn't seem like any games will have big issues.

I don't really see much of a reason to hold onto a PS4 when you get a PS5, other than collection and preservation.

 

[kadotsu]

Won't be getting a next gen device until a redesign. Still lots of stuff to finish and a decent PC will make the wait easy.

 

[Lulu]

ok

 

[Zera Bloodwinter]

I'll sell mine within a months release of the PS5 if my pre-orders get here on time.

 

[Darknight]

Keep and move it to another room.

 

[Wein Cruz]

Probably keep it until I know for certain how PS4 games run on it.

Does anybody know if you can transfer saves from PS4 to PS5? If not I will definitely keep it.

 

[Rowsdower]

I'm selling my Pro after I have the PS5 in hand. Gonna sell it cheap for the holidays.

 

[oreomunsta]

I don't plan on getting a PS5 soon, but when I eventually do, I'll probably lend my 4 to a friend who can't afford one but I know would love to play FF7:R

 

[Swiggins]

Keep and move it to another room.

Click to shrink...

Yep.

Gonna move the PS4 to my family room. It'll live on as our new media center.

 

[It’s Time To Go]

I'm trying to sell mine but I doubt I'll get a decent price for it right now.

 

[Exist 2 Inspire]

I keep all my consoles always.

 

[JFoul]

I sold my Pro in July for $400 before Sony revealed that a lot of games would be cross-gen. Kind of regret it, but I was able to secure a PS5 pre-order direct from Sony.

 

[Lobster Roll]

Burn that bridge. I give away all of my stuff and if I wasn't doing that, I'd just donate them to goodwill or sell them or something. Always moving forward with my console space on my entertainment center.

 

[Deleted member 20852]

I have a friend who's into gaming, but is still playing on a PS2. She's not about getting the latest technology, I suppose! Anyway, she'd be willing to buy mine. I won't probably ask much for it, since it's a close friend and I'm just happy to free some space.

 

[Deleted member 8468]

Those poll options are uhhh...

I'm keeping mine. It'll probably live in a box in my attic most of its life, right next to my 60GB launch PS3.

 

[Ninja Kn1ght]

My PS4s are the 500 Million Edition and the MGSV edition so I have keep 'em for sentimental reasons.

Are you going to do thing A or thing B? Yes

 

[kamineko]

Mine is gonna go

 

[Bold One]

 

[Senki Dala]

I've the limited TLOU2 PS4 Pro so I'll keep it. And for the few games that might run weirdly on PS5.

 

[Davilmar]

I always keep my systems. I move them to another room or have them in a secure place if I ever play them again.

 

[GuEiMiRrIRoW]

I have too many consoles. I need bigger house by now.

 

[shark97]

I have little to no personal attachment to any piece of electronics.

At best I might think "this has been a really good product, really served me well" at the end of life. And be more liable to buy that brand in the future (talking about appliances etc). No emotional attachment.


In that vein though, I gotta say my One X has been a really good console. Delivered all I expected, if not necessarily wanted (ideally more games would have taken advantage of it, but I get it). No reliability issues.

One question you have to write. The other is just a simples tes or no.

Yep, been this way ever since I was a kid after deciding to trade in my Dreamcast to Gamestop to buy some PS2 games and regretted it almost immediately.

 

[scottbeowulf]

I keep telling myself I'll keep it. But I know once I feel that SSD speed I'm gonna drop it and never turn it on again.

 

[Euphoria]

Likely keeping PS4 (had since launch) for remote play purposes.

Not 100% sure if PS5 will support it with the Vita. Odds are not likely I feel.

 

[BasilZero]

Keep it and still go next gen

 

[Acquiescence]

You know, I never really thought about it up until now, but I should probably sell my PS4 once I get a PS5 huh. There's no real reason to keep hold of it, since I'm not exactly an avid fan of Joe's Diner or that racing game that's inexplicably set in the Isle of Man.

I just pray to god that a factory reset completely wipes all of my PS4 browser searches and bookmarks and history. It's got to be a mountain of absolute filth by this point.

 

[Mung]

The Ps4 Pro will take the ps4's spot. Not sure where ps4 will go. First world problems.

 

[secretanchitman]

Sold my PS4 Pro (White) today. I can wait a month to play on the PS5!

 

[fundogmo]

Goodbye to a true hero.

Also, what's the best way to sell a console these days?

 

[MGPanda]

Sold it a few weeks ago, absolutely no regrets. Hadn't played for months because of how insanely loud it was anyway.

Depends on where you live, but for example in my case I went to my local GAME and they gave me 217€ in store credit (probably around 180€ in cash, but I pre-ordered PS5 in there anyway).

 

[lord_of_flood]

I sold mine around summer of last year. I had no real incentive to keep it since a) I wasn't playing games on it much anymore, and b) any games I'd miss out on between then and the PS5's launch would likely be BC on PS5 anyway (which they pretty much all are), so I bit the bullet and sold it. Haven't really regretted that decision either; the Switch has been more than enough for me, to the point where I'm not even in much of a hurry to get a PS5.

 

[C.Mongler]

I have the 500 Million Pro, so I plan on neatly putting it back in its box and putting it in a closet for a few years at least. It's definitely tempting to sell it to cover the cost of the PS5 and then some, but I doubt it's going to depreciate in value anytime soon.

 

[Theswweet]

Mine is a Limited Edition system, so no.

Your poll isn't a yes or no question
