PS4?

[Cupofteaandbiscuits]

Is a PS4 worth getting for a nine year old? Can’t stretch to a PS5 so wanted to know if there PS4 is worth it? We would get FC25 too. Can you tell I know nothing about gaming?

Honestly, no, I wouldn't. Ps4 has been around since 2013 so they're over a decade old now, even ps5 has been about since 2020.
Ps4 is fine for basic gaming but the technology is quickly becoming obsolete and soon enough they will stop releasing games and updates for them.

Ps5 pro is coming out this Xmas so there might be some good deals on ps5 at black Friday.

I agree with above, with the new one coming out soon they’re going to be left behind with updates in the not too distant future. I’m sure the PS5 will be dropping, or there will be bundles/ some deals secondhand too coming up before Xmas.

We have a PS4 for our 10 yr old DS, he plays FC24 (getting 25 for Christmas) and Rocket League. You can get one for around £100 from CEX with a five year warranty.

I think for an older child who wants the new release games it isn’t worth it, but for this purpose it’s great and does everything he needs it to do.

Hope that helps!

And if you go ahead I highly recommend having a secret practice with setting up ahead of time and registering for a PlayStation online gaming account - much of the game is online and might be a bit of a pain to do on Christmas Day! 🎄

I’d say no, my ds has a ps4 and is ready to upgrade. Some of the games he wants are only available on ps5 now.

Get an Xbox their game pass is far better value than the ps equivalent

Not worth it
