Getting into Sony’s PS4 ecosystem on a budget, this is a used 500GB PlayStation 4 console in either the original base chassis or the later Slim variant. It sits below the PS4 Pro and PS5 for performance, but still competes well with Xbox One for a huge back catalogue of games and plenty of second-hand bargains. With CeX, “used” typically means pre-owned hardware that’s been tested for functionality, with cosmetic wear varying by unit and the supplied accessories depending on the listing.
Who does a used PS4 still make sense for?
It’s a sensible buy if you want access to PS4 exclusives, streaming apps, and a large library without paying PS5 money. The 500GB drive is fine for a small rotation of games, but modern titles can fill it quickly, so expect to juggle installs or consider upgrading storage later.
- 500GB storage: enough for a few big games at once, less so for a large digital library
- Base or Slim model: Slim is typically quieter and more power-efficient, base models are chunkier but play the same games
