PS4 - new and modded, with games on the HDD

[WonnabeBiker]

Am in Vietnam. A local gamer says that like $ 250 buys a  n e w  PS4 Slim with that mod.

Surely, when it's too good a price to be true?

 

Now some questions.

 

The PS4 is pretty expensive vs the XBOX (looking at European prices, where one gets a XBOX with a top game for like 200 € with a 2 years' warranty).

 

The new PS5 will be backwards compatible.

 

A jailbroken PS4 lets one play most PS2 games?!?

 

Will this be an "open box" PS4, or a used one missold as new or mint? Just wondering.

Don't trust Vietnamese much. "Dry cleaning" meant "machine washed with detergent", a suit was ruined that way.

   Personally, I wouldn't buy any gaming console that has been hacked or moded to play older versions of games or any other claim.  All for $250, yeah right.  A brand new PS4 Slim 1TB costs $299 in the US. You would have no warranty. The actual game wouldn't be enhanced or the graphics resolution improved.  So, what would be the benefits?  If you want to play PS3 games you can subscribe to "PlayStation Now" and download online digitally to play on a PS4. 

   According to Sony media, they have not announced when the new PS5 will actually be released but definitely not this year, Also, the PS5 will only be backward compatible to play PS4 games.
