Topic: Ps4 prices are getting ridiculous...

What the actual *** is going on with ps4 prices, used consoles are over 300$ and new ones are over 470$, these are for the SLIM NOT THE PRO WHICH IS MORE EXPENSIVE!!!!!
I
get we are on a chip shortage, but jesus fking christ how long will this sht continues to last?

The new gen have arived for nearly two years now and the old consoles are MORE expensive than they v ever been, looking at prices month after month, they still increase!!!!!

God damn **** like is why people want hardware to die and we go to full streaming games

I feel so sorry for anyone looking to buy a console today, paying ps5 msrp for a damn ps4, What a stupid reality this is.

Reminds me of about 6 months ago when none of the local stores near me had any new DS4 controllers. At an independent store i was offered a used DS4 for $60, the price of a new DS4. It looked like a dog had chewed on it so i passed. 2 or 3 months laterTarget had a few new ones.

Ps4 and PS4 controllers have been out of stock where i live since the beginning of 2020 , when i got my ps5 i went to gamestop in a mall the next day to trade in my pro and controllers and guess what ? someone was on the phone asking if they had any ps4 controllers . it’s ***** .

and ps5 controllers are overpriced trash that only lasts 3 months , so not only is hardware hard to find but they’re flimsy and overpriced . i’m about to be on my FOURTH ps5 controller because of these garbage analog sticks

@nomither6 That's some aggressive gaming...

Just joking, but seriously I've had the same DualSense since I got my PS5 about a year ago and I use it plenty.

@KilloWertz I’ve gone through one DualSense already and the second one is starting to very slightly drift on the right stick. Had the same issue with my Switch controllers.

@nessisonett it is said some of the new dual sence colors models have a new design that fix drift, i can't remeamber which of them but i remeamber the blue and purple ones have the new design, look up tronicx fix video on YouTube for full details

@nomither6 stop deleting my comment, iv edited, removed all bad words and reposted them, but you keep deleting

Still have my original DualSense, not sure what you guys are doing with those controllers.

@Octane It's all the jam they put on them.

@RubyCarbuncle Do you play FPS or any multiplayers ? Shooters and fighters on a daily will wear out the weak analogs . The drift isn’t egregious but it’s there , and once it happens then it’ll get progressively worse in due time . it’s not like people are completely destroying the sticks out here , it’s that it’s legitimately flimsy .

it can’t be me because this wasn’t an issue with ps3 or Ps2 controllers , ps4 somewhat but with the dualsense it’s just bad

with my original dualsense , what tore it up was metal gear reveangence (via ps now ) it’s a hack n slash that’s very demanding of the sticks , especially when trying to break free of enemies grasp . but guess what ? my ps3 controller was fine though & i played it with an xbox controller too - no problems .

@RubyCarbuncle i'm still using my original dualsense that came with my ps5 and there is nothing wrong with it..also the ps5 is supposed to have horrendous coil whine which i have yet to encounter (i feel as if i am missing out on this so i can complain like a big nancy too)..and if ps4 prices are really this high i'm selling mine right now as its in mint condition and the dualshock 4 works a treat..i'll take £450 for the ps4 and £50 for the dualshock 4..

@RubyCarbuncle maybe i've been lucky too but i've had zero console problems ever since i ditched the xbox 360 and switched back to playstation..sorry my first ps3 had a dodgy bluray drive which i got replaced but since then everything has been fine so thats about 12 years or so with zero defects..i'd say thats pretty good going..

Sony is really having trouble producing hardware lately. I went into a Walmart today and saw a bunch of Series S consoles, a bunch of Switches, including Lite, V2, and OLED models, but the Playstation hardware cabinet was a barren wasteland.

What "people" are those? I certainly haven't met any.

$289 for the OG ps4 & ps4 slim (refurbished or used), 500GB at GameStop. That's in the US, i forgot this site is usually EU/UK users, tho.

@twztid13 The prices are getting worse each passing month, here in the middle east used slim ps4 is 350$, and new ones are about 490$, we used to buy new consoles at msrp but since 2021 prices have increased month after month.

@RubyCarbuncle go to ebay and see used ps4 prices, all are above 300$ and stil increasing, its getting absurd, supply shortage is getting so much worse that we pay more than msrp for last gen consoles

@Z390 dont let it bother you..i get my posts removed for being unconstructive even when the article i posted about is unconstructive or i replied to an equally unconstructive post which oddley stays put..if push square moderators dont like it chances are its removed...
