Buy New PS4 or Repair Old One?

Need some advice on either getting my old original model ps4 repaired for roughly $150 which would come with a 3 month warranty or grabbing one of these deals like the PS4 Slim 500gb for $269. Would paying the premium of an extra $119 be more beneficial considering it's a newer model and with a 12 month warranty? What would you guys recommend, I also had the 2tb internal hdd in my old ps4 which I believe I could transfer over to the new model for the extra hard drive space. Is it even best to try play the waiting game and see if Amazon maybe offer a better deal than what is currently available.

    Id buy new and maybe try and sell the old one for parts. Might get enough for a meat pie and coke at your local bakery.
    Would depend really on how much $119 means to you. Myself id like the extra warranty.

  • Buy a new one

  • Get a new one - don’t expect Amazon to beat these deals right away. Besides, we have no idea what they’ll be stocking and selling from day 1.

  • Don't forget the new price comes with a PS4 controller that is easily worth $50-$60? Plus whatever free games that come with the bundle must be worth another $10-$20. I am unsure if the 500GB HDD within the slim PS4 is removable or not. If it is, it is worth something. After factoring all these in, it is a no-brainer to skip the repair.

  • Thanks for the advice guys definitely going out to grab one today.
