Ah, the elusive PlayStation 5. I’ve never seen one with my own eyes, but I’ve heard about them in the great legends and myths of the past. Edit: thanks guys for the positivity! I just got a PS5 as of Feb 11th 2021, and I’m super excited to try it out.
Not weird flex but had since day one and if you have PS4 pro your really not missing much except for PC quality on Spider man and new cod... But let's be real that's not huge motivation. Very happy to have one but it's mostly just braging rights because we all still play together them on PS4 me on PS5 and it's just slightly smoother overall...
@@jjmugz yea I have it too. I often find myself questioning why I wanted to get it so quickly lol but what makes me most excited for it is the controller!
Danny., it has enough for now, there’s like 10 PS5 only games they won’t fill 640GB. U have to use external drives for PS4 games, that’s the whole reason Sony made them compatible. Consoles r all abt exclusivity and cheap but quality gaming, so Sony wouldn’t have done this normally. Just wait a couple months and M.2 slot will be functional, at least b4 15 large PS5 only games launch.
Buy one from StockX bro that’s how I got mine no hassles, no issues, no problems just a straight forward process and only took a couple days to get it!
This review will probably become reminiscent to us in 7 years time. Well I guess I’ll see myself again in 7 years probably having a better life than now.
@@alastair6312 Hm, in 7 years the PS5 would probably be at the end of its lifespan, unless generation gaps gets shorter as technology gets better faster.
That doesn't bother me alot. Its more of how the main PS4 tiles look. There compressed and outlined by that square where PS5 games would be. I hate it.
@@apictureoffunction that’s one of the reasons we are having such a hard time finding them. People had extra money, chip shortage and not enough stock to fill the demand. If we don’t find one within the month it’s going to get worse because of the Christmas demand.
I had my ps5 since launch and I’m very impressed with the system. It’s quiet unlike the PS4, the controller is amazing it’s probably the best controller I ever used, and the loading is basically instant. I had my console crash ONCE but since then it never happened again, so overall no problems.
I am more than happy with my PS5 despite a bit of a scare within the first hour of use...but doing a factory reset resolved the issue and it has been smooth sailing since.
I just love how with each generation of playstation, it's always a new style and has its own unqiue sounds and features. If you look at each playstation they're all very different from each other. I just wished the Series X did the same because its interface is nearly identical to xbox one and the controller is basically the same. Consumers won't feel much of a change in anything (except for games obviously) and it would basically just feel like an xbox one but much more powerful. Sure, there's nothing wrong with that but it wouldve been nice to see changes considering the fact that consoles will last an average of 7 years
well to be fair if your getting a console, your getting it for the games not for the home screen, and the Xbox series x is massively different in games because of backwards compatibility on most games plus upscaling on said games and quick resume.

@@ryugo7713 oh yeah right, i forgot those days basically u couldn't get one haha.....amazing how that still hasn't changed, i was lucky to get one.....
I really want Sony to add the "Display" feature that PS2 had. Press square and will only show the background with the system music, when you are on the User Screen or Home Screen.
The UI only feels “isolated” if you have a robust friends list. I’ve been playing in the Sony ecosystem for more than 15 years and I have about 5 friends. Three of them I don’t even remember who they are and the other 2 are family members…
@@monke1599 why 15 years is a long time, so this guy is probably in his 30s, why would he have a bunch of friends on the playstation network, real people don't live online, and grown adults don't hang out with buddies like teenagers lmao
@@monke1599 When did I say that? You can't read that's depressing, I said grown adults do not hang around each other like teenagers, men spend most of their time around their families not around other men lmao
This has to be the most concise, well informed, and honest review of a product that I've ever seen in quite some time. Thank you so very much for the information that you've imparted on everyone. 😃
@@RepublicofODLUM When you have a game update on PS3/4/5, the system create a copy of the game where the update will go and then delete the old version of the game. This is done in order to optimize the time the game takes to seek an info on the hard drive. My problem is that it has no reason to be on PS5 since it uses an SDD and thus doesn't require this kind of optimization. In fact it's even heavily detrimental to the life span of the SSD because it depends on the amount of infos you write to it
Check Twitter for Target drops. So much easier to get a unit from Target since they only allow store pickup (keeps bots away). I originally scored a digital bundle from GameStop but cancelled it once I got a store pickup confirmation from Target. Felt better knowing I could physically walk into a store and get my console rather than having a USPS employee steal it
@@Fratemojo5 Man Target is the best from i can see. For example a guy named The Professional (Well knowned from GTA Online because he showed many guides on how to make money) had to camp at Target for a few hours in his car then when it opened he Quickly got there and he got lucky and he got one. Apparently he was scared of getting punched in the face and Somoene taking it so he was quick. Damn Oppressor MK2 Griefers. Makes our boy scared that he thinks in RL someone might "Grief" him.
Man I can't wait to walk in-store and pick up a console. Kinda tired of competing for one online - doesn't feel that important but the fomo got people down bad ig.
Stay strong. Eventually they will be in stores. Expandable storage will be increased. More games and cheaper too. Don't worry. Just wait... you're not alone
Buy one from StockX bro that’s how I got mine no hassles, no issues, no problems just a straight forward process and only took a couple days to get it!
Don't listen to the dude above, I had Xbox 360 and Xbox one and have switched to the PS5 with this generation as it's on another level to the Xbox series X
After two weeks of ownership of the PS5 (digital version) I can whole heartedly agree with this review. Luckily, I only had one issue with the console on it's first day - failure to sustain a connection to my wifi, but all was remedied by connecting via ethernet. Since then, I have really liked the speed and quietness of the console. My PS4 Pro was just very loud but with this console, there is no noise that I can hear. Loading screens are a thing of the past, really. The new controller is fine, but don't care for constant vibrations (depends of the title). Got the new Pulse 3D headphones which sound great and are more comfortable to wear than my Platinum Sony headphones. All-in-all a great new generation console. It's just a shame, however, that Sony's method of getting these units into consumer's hands is so broken.
Couple things I’ve noticed over the past few months: The USB-A ports don’t charge controllers in sleep mode, only USB-C. The ‘What’s New’ section not being there immediately or even at all is sorely missed. The trophy list is now cards. The list was better. Almost every game has has crashed or froze at least once, Maneater crashed frequently resulting in glitched trophies. Sometimes the system just turns off in sleep mode and gives an error message on restart saying it wasn’t shut down properly. The battery compartment on the media remote is absolutely horrible to open and shut. The plastic pedestal the console rests on horizontally is wobbly and seems crooked all the time. Other than that, games work wonderfully 99% of the time and the controller is superb.
@@fbenecchi Not for that alone, it's more of a novelty that only one game really utilizes so far (Astro's Playroom). Games DO run better though, and I assume some of the issues will be patched out eventually.
I have the same nitpick with the new trophy card layout, I'm not a fan at all. I've turned to viewing my trophies on the PS app or psnprofiles instead.
I’ve had my PS5 since say one but if I’m honest - if you don’t have one, you are NOT missing out, I haven’t found any killer game at launch or in the near future that justify it over a PS4, right here right now the PS4 has a better game catalogue. This will change but I’ve tried a lot of games, demos etc and with hindsight I would have waited until, more of the killer games have appeared. I think Sony rushed it to market as Xbox were jumping early, I think Sony would have preferred another 6 months and maybe an easter launch. I play a lot of FPS shooters and I’m running COD and Destiny - PS4 versions on PS5, I’m waiting on Gran Turismo 7 - why it wasn’t a launch game only Sony knows, it’s now not even listed on the UK Sony store - suggest a 2022 release as the developer has no concept of time. Sony press machine have promised a lot from the hardware but I know I’m a broken record - there is nothing available right now that shows the hardware at its best. It’s a good piece of kit but still need some quality Triple A titles to say a Great piece of kit
I was an Xbox guy and bought the series X. Was a little underwhelmed and sold it (scalped lol) and used that money to build a PC since Sony is now putting their games on PC
@@mikeymo9363 I mean the one x is a 2017 console. The ps5 and series x are still a bit better though. The one x is about as powerful as the new series s
I played FIFA 21 for the first time on my PlayStation 5 and the way EA implemented the triggers is when your players are fatigued the triggers have more resistance when running, dribbling, exc. Not ground breaking but very neat and a way to just immerse me even more into this next gen console I’m in love with it!!!
I love that the games show the whole picture in the bg, it gives PS3 menu vibes which I loooved as a kid Like I remember just sitting on the menu listening to the main theme from the games
Thank you for this video, I'm a current x box one gamer who is seriously contemplating getting a ps5 over the x box series x. You video was very informative in helping me move forward in the decision that I have yet to make. Cheers!
I’m hooking my ps5 now..just got in from studio and could wait to hook it up..I was lucky to get the series x when it came out and somehow it my hands on a bundle for a awesome deal..both console are young still and allot to look forward to..both very nice.I’m blessed to have both 🙏
Great job, very comprehensive! Best I've seen for someone new to console gaming. Coil whine is definitely an issue when converting AC to DC power and utilizing PWM, you need a bunch of noise filtering via reactors and ferrites, which I'm sure is sacrificed in cost saving.
HUGE growing pains- that UI needs folders right of the bat. That follow section needs to go away as well. PS now needs to be moved back to the PS4 UI. The network issues with the PS4 cloud need fixing.The store needs to be changed back to PS4 style .... etc etc etc etc etc so many things that didnt need tampering with
It's so basic to have folders. I feel like as soon as you create a UI the next thing is making folders. I might have 500 games in my library, 10 or 15 folders saves me alot of time scrolling.
The best Playstation UI will always be the PS3 XMB. It was easy to navigate and simple to understand. Hopefully with time the PS5 UI will get better/simpler
@@IWantToStayAtYourHouse I want a PS5, I mean, there's some cool lookin exclusives, but idk if/when they're gonna stop pissing around with these trickle releases.. Cuz I ain't bothering with em until they actually get them on the shelves for more than 5 minutes..
I've said the same thing. I've got the ps5 and xbsx too and apart from faster load times they are no different to the one x. And speaking of faster load times it's literally just a few seconds. This instant load ssd is all bullshit. This generations "blast processing"
I love my PS5. After beating my PS5 games, I’ve actually played a few PS4 games that I missed out on. Yeah there isn’t a massive library yet, but this is the beginning of a generation and I’m looking forward to this year’s releases, especially ratchet and clank since it is a PS5 exclusive.
Automotive ceramic coating the gloss black plastic and you’ll never scratch it if you clean it properly. I owned a detailing business for 20 yrs. and yes, pretty much all SiO2 ceramic coatings for your car are also rated for plastic trim ( gloss or matte ) as well as glass. It actually works awesome on plastic.
I actually like the ps5 theme music with the game backgrounds it’s much cleaner, but if I want to hear and see my theme music I just jump back to the p4 then watch hulu
@@blumoshi166 You only get ps5 theme music when you hover over the store though, every other game that you hover over has its own kind of music. It was just nice to have that option of customization, could change the background to winter them during winter or to an all time favorite game and still see the picture of the game you're on without having it fill the entire screen. Just feels like a step backwards.
@@clockworkNate yeah I get that and it is a pain going back to the ps4 after being on the 5 for some time hopefully they do bring it back but who knows maybe they tryna pull a Nintendo move we all know them boys tight together btw I have a switch even tho you didn’t ask
@@blumoshi166 hopefully but knowing sony probably not. I have a switch too, I jailbroke it just a little while ago because I got sick of nintendos crap. Maybe I'll just jailbreak my ps4 now since its just sitting there collecting dust, would be nice to mod patch bloodborne and try out the 60fps patch.
You know what’s really awesome? Since it’s so hard to find legit PlayStation 3 controller‘s online and in stores it’s nice that I can use my dual shock4 and dual sense on my PlayStation 3. And they will be much easier to find even years from now. I love PlayStation 😆
Big backlog? I have over 20 games to play. Beat 5 so far. Just mainly going for story but my oh my did I miss tons of games after 2015. The black friday/cyber monday sales and ps sales were too good for classics. And awesome some are enhanced over their ps4 performance.

@@NJShadow how do you think Sony will handle future console releases considering the scalpers and the “ps5 pro” that may possibly hit the market in the coming years
I know I'm late... I'm getting my PS5 tomorrow. I've been binge watching your videos, trying to cram as much info as I can so I'm ready. I'm 31 years old, haven't played on console or PC in over 10 years. I've played mobile COD and Apex the past 3 years. I haven't been this excited for a new system since ps3. Hahaha Thanks for your videos boss!!
Not sure why but I feel like I’m struggling with the ui I guess because it so different. I only turned on like 5 time in a month since I had it. I had to look up why I couldn’t rent a movie so I was getting frustrated when i thought that the PlayStation store was broken
@@ingenuised mine does that too, but for some reason when the new event for apex started earlier this month it automatically download the update, I manually tried to download it but it gave me this error code. I looked it up and it seems other people have that issue, should get patched with a system update hopefully. It's only happened once for me tho thankfully :)
Great work man, excellent review! I'm honestly gonna wait until Sony announces the PS5 Slim (which I'm sure they will given the history of their consoles) before I make the jump into next-gen. Hoping that by fall of 2022, Sony will have all major firmware updates released, a better game selection, and a slimmer console (let's face it, the PS5 is a beast!). Until then, the Nintendo Switch is my go-to console!
hope their are some bit by bit starting by march late. My little brother bday but wanted to give him my xbox series s i got as a bday gift from last year in 2020 after gotten slapped from not getting any ps5 console. im a ps guy for many years, and it is hard to kick the habit off :)

Wow! I must say, thank you for making this video, and for putting in so much of your time! What a truly in-depth insight and review of the PS5, accessories and games. 👍🏼👏🏼
I want a more social feel, like a way to show the feats and accomplishments of other friends like the "What's New" section on PS4, and even HOME on PS3. I would love to see a PlayStation Life Sim that incorporates your gaming career and can display Trophies, favorite game, unlockables, art, clothes, etc. Have a way to level up, craft, learn new skills, go on quest with friends and just go all out with the social ecosystem. Right now PS5 feels disconnected that way, I can my friends are online but other than that I can really interact with what they're getting done in their games. It could be very lucrative too. Charge a tiny bit here and there for certain items or shortcuts for those that don't wanna finish a quest or something. IDK. To me, it would be neat.
Yeah I had the cash to get two 3090s but I procrastinated. Then a week after the scalping got really bad I won an MTG event and 1st place was a 3090 lol. But for a while you couldn't even get a 2070 for less than like $650-800
The thing I like about your videos is your lack of frills and filler. It feels like a mature review for adults, rather than a condescending child's lecture
Got stupid lucky today. Dropped in my local gamestop, and someone had just returned an unopened one right ahead of me. The dude behind me was BIG mad. Like I wasn't gonna snatch it up!
Thank you Mystic. Your reviews are always very in-depth and and well narrated. Quite enjoyable. I have a PS5 coming in and am very much concerned about the issue surrounding having the PS4 games on an external drive. I still have my PS4, but I would love to move all my library form the PS4 to the PS5 via an external drive. But I keep reading how there are just major issues with that. Not sure what to do here as I would like to either trade in my PS4 Pro or hand it down.

I really want Sony to add the "Display" feature that PS2 had. Press square and will only show the background with the system music, when you are on the User Screen or Home Screen.
The UI only feels “isolated” if you have a robust friends list. I’ve been playing in the Sony ecosystem for more than 15 years and I have about 5 friends. Three of them I don’t even remember who they are and the other 2 are family members…
that's a bit depressing :/
@@monke1599 why 15 years is a long time, so this guy is probably in his 30s, why would he have a bunch of friends on the playstation network, real people don't live online, and grown adults don't hang out with buddies like teenagers lmao

Great game to platinum.

This has to be the most concise, well informed, and honest review of a product that I've ever seen in quite some time. Thank you so very much for the information that you've imparted on everyone. 😃
No it's not.
The file's copy on PS5 when there is an update is an absolute nonsense because Cerny told us it wasn't needed with an SSD
Sorry, what are you talking about? I genuinely don't know.
Ye You right i thought that was not gonna be a thing when i got the ps5
@@RepublicofODLUM When you have a game update on PS3/4/5, the system create a copy of the game where the update will go and then delete the old version of the game. This is done in order to optimize the time the game takes to seek an info on the hard drive. My problem is that it has no reason to be on PS5 since it uses an SDD and thus doesn't require this kind of optimization. In fact it's even heavily detrimental to the life span of the SSD because it depends on the amount of infos you write to it
tbf i don't think it really matters because mine copies in like 20 seconds tops
@@PurpleGuyUSA It takes mines 10+mn. It depends of the size of the game and of the time it takes to download the updates
"2 months later, how good is the Ps5"

Check Twitter for Target drops. So much easier to get a unit from Target since they only allow store pickup (keeps bots away). I originally scored a digital bundle from GameStop but cancelled it once I got a store pickup confirmation from Target. Felt better knowing I could physically walk into a store and get my console rather than having a USPS employee steal it
I had no problem preordering mine 👍🏻.
@@Fratemojo5 Man Target is the best from i can see. For example a guy named The Professional (Well knowned from GTA Online because he showed many guides on how to make money) had to camp at Target for a few hours in his car then when it opened he Quickly got there and he got lucky and he got one. Apparently he was scared of getting punched in the face and Somoene taking it so he was quick. Damn Oppressor MK2 Griefers. Makes our boy scared that he thinks in RL someone might "Grief" him.

I think I’ve played Astro’s Playroom 100 times already. The vibration and sounds in the controller and the adaptive triggers are just so good!

For most people*
Xbox is better, honest ps5 user
Don't listen to the dude above, I had Xbox 360 and Xbox one and have switched to the PS5 with this generation as it's on another level to the Xbox series X
2 months later and i still dont want one 😅
Technically not 2 months later since preorders went live in September 2020. So technically it's been 4 months.
After two weeks of ownership of the PS5 (digital version) I can whole heartedly agree with this review. Luckily, I only had one issue with the console on it's first day - failure to sustain a connection to my wifi, but all was remedied by connecting via ethernet. Since then, I have really liked the speed and quietness of the console. My PS4 Pro was just very loud but with this console, there is no noise that I can hear. Loading screens are a thing of the past, really. The new controller is fine, but don't care for constant vibrations (depends of the title). Got the new Pulse 3D headphones which sound great and are more comfortable to wear than my Platinum Sony headphones. All-in-all a great new generation console. It's just a shame, however, that Sony's method of getting these units into consumer's hands is so broken.
Couple things I’ve noticed over the past few months:
The USB-A ports don’t charge controllers in sleep mode, only USB-C.
The ‘What’s New’ section not being there immediately or even at all is sorely missed.
The trophy list is now cards. The list was better.
Almost every game has has crashed or froze at least once, Maneater crashed frequently resulting in glitched trophies.
Sometimes the system just turns off in sleep mode and gives an error message on restart saying it wasn’t shut down properly.
The battery compartment on the media remote is absolutely horrible to open and shut.
The plastic pedestal the console rests on horizontally is wobbly and seems crooked all the time.
Other than that, games work wonderfully 99% of the time and the controller is superb.
Do you think the controller features are actually something important to choose a next gen console? Or not
@@fbenecchi Not for that alone, it's more of a novelty that only one game really utilizes so far (Astro's Playroom). Games DO run better though, and I assume some of the issues will be patched out eventually.
I have the same nitpick with the new trophy card layout, I'm not a fan at all. I've turned to viewing my trophies on the PS app or psnprofiles instead.
@@fbenecchi it’s literally what you use to play the games
@@binky8843 XD
I’ve had my PS5 since say one but if I’m honest - if you don’t have one, you are NOT missing out, I haven’t found any killer game at launch or in the near future that justify it over a PS4, right here right now the PS4 has a better game catalogue. This will change but I’ve tried a lot of games, demos etc and with hindsight I would have waited until, more of the killer games have appeared.
I think Sony rushed it to market as Xbox were jumping early, I think Sony would have preferred another 6 months and maybe an easter launch.
I play a lot of FPS shooters and I’m running COD and Destiny - PS4 versions on PS5, I’m waiting on Gran Turismo 7 - why it wasn’t a launch game only Sony knows, it’s now not even listed on the UK Sony store - suggest a 2022 release as the developer has no concept of time.
Sony press machine have promised a lot from the hardware but I know I’m a broken record - there is nothing available right now that shows the hardware at its best.
It’s a good piece of kit but still need some quality Triple A titles to say a Great piece of kit
Exactly.
I was an Xbox guy and bought the series X. Was a little underwhelmed and sold it (scalped lol) and used that money to build a PC since Sony is now putting their games on PC
What are you talking about returnal and demon slayer are amazing
Demon souls*
I have a PS5 also…and totally agree. Still waiting for gran Turismo 7.
I'm loving the PS5, even with the lack of games right now. The upgrade in speed and smoothness is worth it.
Worth $500 tho? You can play most of the games on ps4 pro cant you
There's only demon souls that's exclusive. And the graphical upgrade isn't even noticeable if you had the one x.
@@mikeymo9363 if u play it on cinematic mode the graphics look muuch better. Only problem is it runs at 15 fps...

I played FIFA 21 for the first time on my PlayStation 5 and the way EA implemented the triggers is when your players are fatigued the triggers have more resistance when running, dribbling, exc. Not ground breaking but very neat and a way to just immerse me even more into this next gen console I’m in love with it!!!
I love that the games show the whole picture in the bg, it gives PS3 menu vibes which I loooved as a kid
Like I remember just sitting on the menu listening to the main theme from the games
Thank you for this video, I'm a current x box one gamer who is seriously contemplating getting a ps5 over the x box series x. You video was very informative in helping me move forward in the decision that I have yet to make. Cheers!

Great job, very comprehensive! Best I've seen for someone new to console gaming. Coil whine is definitely an issue when converting AC to DC power and utilizing PWM, you need a bunch of noise filtering via reactors and ferrites, which I'm sure is sacrificed in cost saving.
HUGE growing pains- that UI needs folders right of the bat. That follow section needs to go away as well. PS now needs to be moved back to the PS4 UI. The network issues with the PS4 cloud need fixing.The store needs to be changed back to PS4 style .... etc etc etc etc etc so many things that didnt need tampering with
It's so basic to have folders. I feel like as soon as you create a UI the next thing is making folders. I might have 500 games in my library, 10 or 15 folders saves me alot of time scrolling.
Have you seen the PS3 UI. That's the definition of good UI

I've got both consoles and it doesn't even feel like next gen. They feel like smoother current gen games.
I've said the same thing. I've got the ps5 and xbsx too and apart from faster load times they are no different to the one x. And speaking of faster load times it's literally just a few seconds. This instant load ssd is all bullshit. This generations "blast processing"
I love my PS5. After beating my PS5 games, I’ve actually played a few PS4 games that I missed out on. Yeah there isn’t a massive library yet, but this is the beginning of a generation and I’m looking forward to this year’s releases, especially ratchet and clank since it is a PS5 exclusive.

Automotive ceramic coating the gloss black plastic and you’ll never scratch it if you clean it properly.

There's one thing I hate about ps5, I want my damn themes back!!!!

I actually like the ps5 theme music with the game backgrounds it’s much cleaner, but if I want to hear and see my theme music I just jump back to the p4 then watch hulu
@@blumoshi166 You only get ps5 theme music when you hover over the store though, every other game that you hover over has its own kind of music. It was just nice to have that option of customization, could change the background to winter them during winter or to an all time favorite game and still see the picture of the game you're on without having it fill the entire screen. Just feels like a step backwards.
@@clockworkNate yeah I get that and it is a pain going back to the ps4 after being on the 5 for some time hopefully they do bring it back but who knows maybe they tryna pull a Nintendo move we all know them boys tight together btw I have a switch even tho you didn’t ask
@@blumoshi166 hopefully but knowing sony probably not. I have a switch too, I jailbroke it just a little while ago because I got sick of nintendos crap.

Even 1080p is enough for me!
I just want a pure 60fps experience for Warzone and Apex Legends
I want a more social feel, like a way to show the feats and accomplishments of other friends like the "What's New" section on PS4, and even HOME on PS3. I would love to see a PlayStation Life Sim that incorporates your gaming career and can display Trophies, favorite game, unlockables, art, clothes, etc.
Have a way to level up, craft, learn new skills, go on quest with friends and just go all out with the social ecosystem. Right now PS5 feels disconnected that way, I can my friends are online but other than that I can really interact with what they're getting done in their games. It could be very lucrative too. Charge a tiny bit here and there for certain items or shortcuts for those that don't wanna finish a quest or something. IDK. To me, it would be neat.
the ps5 is looking incredable, the price seems awesome too, for 500euros i cant find a GPU with similar performance
Yeah I had the cash to get two 3090s but I procrastinated. Then a week after the scalping got really bad I won an MTG event and 1st place was a 3090 lol. But for a while you couldn't even get a 2070 for less than like $650-800
The thing I like about your videos is your lack of frills and filler. It feels like a mature review for adults, rather than a condescending child's lecture

Thank you Mystic. Your reviews are always very in-depth and and well narrated. Quite enjoyable.

Not sure what to do here as I would like to either trade in my PS4 Pro or hand it down.
