You want to check the firmware version of the PS4. If it's lower than 11.0 you're lucky. It can be jailbroken. If it's below 9.00 you're really lucky. Whatever you do, don't upgrade the system software. Jailbroken PS4s can do some pretty interesting stuff like using cheats, changing game resolution, remove framerate lock.... Edit: probably too late for that. changing the drive and installing the OS probably upgraded the firmware in the process. Oh well...
i have a idea : try to put a console (ps4 xbox one) inside a case like case swap it try to take the console mobo and put it inside a pc case it will be cool!
0:32 You said do-do :P I just can't help it, there's still some Kid left in me! I wouldn't call this a deal or a scam, if you count the time spent cleaning it up it's break even at best but I'm glad you're helping People out (especially graduating from console to PC!) and hopefully your channel will grow more and you can make up the difference with your videos :D
As a PS4 owner who recently gotten more into PC gaming because I upgraded my rig and I'm tired of paying for PS Plus, I don't think you got scammed. I still have my OG model and it still works. Mainly use it for the single player games and F2P titles I don't want on my PC. Like I'm still rebuilding some of my multiplayer library on PC, but it's worth it in the end. Besides, I still have plenty of single player games in my PS4 backlog that I wanna catch up on.
What most people nowadays are looking at is the firmware version. If it is beyond 11.00 its not as sought after due to the jailbreak. Everyone wants that jailbreak lol..
I tried it a long time ago, and my load times were significantly better. Even the UI seemed to feel just slightly more responsive. It's worth doing if you have an SSD you aren't using
I have been wanting to buy a cheap PS4 Pro because there are lots of cheap games for it but prices have always been outrageous for them, $400Cdn on the used market. I'll never pay anywhere close to that for it.
Well damn, I think you need to be a bit more careful with trades... At least check them on the spot xD But honestly I guess is not bad given the use you can give it. And ultimately, I'd say is not a scam. The damn thing works internally... Just not in perfect condition externally uwu
Not bad i mean the PS4 still has new games coming to it and it plays them just fine,also the slim is the quietest ps4 version. Don't mind the hate for TLOU2,the story might be mediocre but the graphics,details and the gameplay are beautiful. I'd just get a new case for it because it looks worn out,it's missing the hdd cover and it looks to have some broken plastic clips
The computer market for the most part is dead. For new and used. TECH yes pointed out that sales are stagnant. Consoles if you get them cheap enough in this market. Refurbish them. Hold on to them when the market is better and people do pay good money for the vintage nostalgia.
Terrible swap.. awful. you traded a Z640 - a system which, properly equipped, could easily sell for a few hundred dollars and play just about anything, for a PS4 in poor condtion. A PS4 - something that can be found for $100 almost any day of the week in GOOD condition .. and this one is certainly not that. That Z640 can take an E5-2690 v3 CPU - a 12-core 2.6GHZ (3.5 boost), or an e5-2680 v4 ( 14 core at 2.4 GHz / 3.3 boost), both of which sell for around $15 or less on Ebay. It has tons of storage and upgrade options, and that one came with a PSU that supports a good GPU.. and you let it go for a PS4 in crappy condition. I don't get it.
I thought is was a ps4 but the apple sticker was throwing me off. I'm glad it worked, and it's good to see the kid going to PC gaming.

Nice swap. I would buy a replacement cover for the HD cover / bay if you can get it cheap enough, purely to keep bugs out.

SSD definitely makes a difference. When ps4 came out I had one in my ps3 and loaded into instances before ps4 players.
have a pro but really use it more for playing back blu ray

And you can do a whole lot more with a PC! Welcome to the Noble PC Master Race my new Brother :P
hope you enjoy the golfing minigame that the hulk does
Not a bad trade. 👍
Hey, if I'm not wrong you said you have a car related channel a few videos ago, but can't seem to find it. What's the name of it?
why didn't u censor ur plate?
A bit risky not checking this the same day when you trade.
he "found out" about missing HDD cover after 2 weeks, not from the start :)
Just curious what thermal paste did you use on the PS4?
Wait so you let him inspect your computer before he bought it but you didn't plug in and turn on the PS4 before the trade was done?

I believe its a sata 2 interface. So speed wise it wont be much, but random seeks should be better

@@SleepyFawnwhy does the ps4 have sata 2 but the pro has sata 3 makes zero sense
@Pikmin3388 faster reads I suppose? I never owned a ps4 pro.
Oh no. The last of us 2. I'd forgotten. Just live in the memory of the first one.
i was eating when you showed the bug inside the ps4
Maybe he should update the software to get rid of all the bugs 🤓
@@riffdex Yeah
Fun fact: Sony in their infinite wisdom thought using a usb to sata adapter for the hdd would suffice, no dedicated sata controller. FKING GENIUSES.
Wanna know something that us simple humans can't comprehend?
It is sata 2 interface, only the PS4 pro have sata 3

Wow! You can pick up a used Ps4 Pro from CEX in the UK for £155 at the moment.
@@rrwholloway I'd grab one but it's a very long bus ride from Canada. 😁
Here in Vancouver, BC it’s $150-$200cdn whereabouts are you?

Was that a dead roach? I hope that PS4 doesn't have roach eggs in it.
Prepare to be mildly disappointed. At least you can sell the disc.
Exactly why i don't trade for consoles...
Enjoy your adventures with Joel!

Wasn't a bad deal, don't think you got scammed
BLOCK YOUR LICENSE PLATe!! Yes I can find you from just that, it only costs $10 to find your information from a license plate.
