One of my close friends decided that she’s no longer enjoying games so she offered to sell it to me for really cheap (100$). I love gaming but since I switched to Mac a few years ago my choices have been very limited. I’ve been mostly playing indie games that are available on Mac. So I’ve been thinking about her offer.
The price sounds amazing for a PS4 but I’m not sure if it’s still worth it considering the PS5 has been out for a good few years now. What do you guys think? Should I take it off her hands or should I save for a PS5 or an Xbox instead?
My main monitor is 1080p 75Hz by the way (Acer KG221Q). So buying a new generation console would mean that I might have to upgrade my monitor as well.
Try not to look at it as getting a $100 of technology, but rather if you’d get $100 dollars of entertainment out of it.
Just to add.
Look at any hobby in your life and break out the money spent vs the enjoyment you got out of it.
For example the Cinema costs me £10 and a film is 2 hours long, meaning my fun time costs £5 per hour.
A £100 console would have to provide me 20 hours entertainment for it to be comparable to going to the cinema.
These days any PS4 game will have 10-40 hours content, but buying them costs money. Popping on CEX website the most expensive PS4 games are £12. Assuning you only get 10 hours of fun from a game…
The question you should ask yourself is are there 3 games on the PS4 you are interested in playing?
