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.

    As you stated, there are countless of great games you haven’t played. I think it is worth $100 unless you plan to buy a PS5/Xbox very soon.

    You can try to find cheap pre-owned PS4 discs. Besides, you’d better have a look at PS Plus Extra Game list. Spending the price of 1.5 games, and you can enjoy 15+ games within one year.

    For me I would not upgrade the monitor now. Only PS4 Pro support 4K gaming (for some games), I’d save the bucks for monitor upgrade in future.
