      Probably not. You'd need one manufactured before May to be sure.

    getting a ps4 at this stage is a waste, id get a ps4 pro

      How? Ps4 slim plays fine at 1080p

      • LikeMike on 16/12/2018 - 13:54

        Seeing as good sources say the PS5 is going to be backwards compatible with PS4 and might be out within a year then buying a cheap Pro at this stage if you can find one would be great for resale or trade in later.

        • giventofly on 18/12/2018 - 09:31

          These rumours arrive with every new console. I just ignore them.

    • michaelpls on 15/12/2018 - 19:45

      I own a pro, which I just bought a week ago to play exclusives, my brother has a standard PS4. The standard PS4 looks perfectly fine and the only reason I bought a pro was because it was so close in price at the time. For $259 I would have bought this.

      • Ostrk on 16/12/2018 - 04:55

        Hi can you please tell me if it's worth it to have two of the same consoles in the same house?
        My brother has a PS4 Pro and I want to buy a PS4 because I hate playing in the living room on a couch, it totally breaks the immersion when it's noisy and people are walking by/in the kitchen etc I just can't focus with that much noise and if it's not the noise then it's people walking in front of the TV.
        I'm a PC gamer so buying an xbox makes no sense since I can play Forza, Gears of War, Sunset Overdrive etc on PC but not the PS4 exclusives.
        I've been looking at a base model of course because I'm a PC gamer and only want to play the exclusives so the pro is overkill since after I'm done playing the exclusives it will likely sit on my desk collecting dusk. I can't decide whether it's a waste of money or not though.

        • ShortyX on 16/12/2018 - 08:57

          totally breaks the immersion

          First world problems. :) Play with headphones?

        • veetor on 18/12/2018 - 07:32

          If nobody else is using the PS4 at the time - why not use Remote Play to stream to your PC?

          • Ostrk on 18/12/2018 - 07:38

            @veetor: Well my friend I am one of the few that are still stuck on ADSL2+ which is shared between five people, so you can see the obvious problem here. Getting a youtube video to load in 720p is often a miracle, game streaming is something else entirely.

            • mattacrazy on 18/12/2018 - 08:38
              +3

              @Ostrk: PS4 remote play can run over the local network, no need for fast internet at all.

              • Ostrk on 18/12/2018 - 08:39
                -1

                @mattacrazy: Assuming if it does run (which I doubt it) my internet is too unstable with constant dropouts that would affect the streaming yes?. I'll probably just forget about PS4.

                • Kontiki on 18/12/2018 - 12:29

                  @Ostrk: To clarify: you don't need ANY internet for Remote Play. It's all local network. A good router/AP and wired network helps though.

                  • Ostrk on 18/12/2018 - 19:54

                    @Kontiki: Oh I see my bad. I still don't know how these services work. Don't have a good router and can't go wired (no way the rest of the fam would approve). Will it still work good on 1-10mbps WiFi?

        • magic8ballgag on 18/12/2018 - 10:46

          I can't decide whether it's a waste of money or not though.

          I don't think it's worth it in your case since you already have a PS4 Pro in your house, just get a Slim, especially if it's just going to be connected to a standard TV in a spare room.

    • pennypincher98 on 15/12/2018 - 20:06

      Same people say this about the Xbox One S vs X…

    • smartazz104 on 18/12/2018 - 08:25

      The Pro is barely more powerful, it doesn’t even do genuine 4K for games.

  • fookos on 15/12/2018 - 16:28

    Not bad for a vanilla ps4 but I keep coming back to citing the $285 deal from a couple of years back at JB - the slim plus extra controller and ps4 remote. That was sweet.

    • Griffindinho on 15/12/2018 - 16:38

      Amazon had it for $269 and Spider-Man plus $50 cash back on Black Friday

  • Wombat22 on 15/12/2018 - 20:14

    Checked online for the ps4 pro. There are none in stock anywhere near me. Will it be likely they will get stock in for this deal?

    Damn it. I have an xbox and the only game I really want to play on playstation is last of us…. I can't think of any other game to make this worthwhile!

    • LikeMike on 16/12/2018 - 13:49

      I've seen people rent a PS4 for a couple of weeks on gumtree, or if you know anyone with a ps4 going away for a holiday just ask to borrow theirs. The Last of Us part 2 looks pretty epic…can't wait.

    • cyrax83 on 18/12/2018 - 07:51

    OOo Detroit does look good.

    The rest don't do anything for me

    • OfTheOverflow on 17/12/2018 - 00:52

      Really? Detroit of all things is the only appealing game?

      • imurgod on 17/12/2018 - 07:54

        …and Last of Us

        I've seen the others and was unimpressed. Maybe they're not the games for me or maybe I'm spoiled having Xbox and Steam.

  • Donatello on 16/12/2018 - 10:47

    Does anyone here know if the slim is able to receive a hard drive transplant?
    I changed the hard drive on my original 500gb PS4 tp the Seagate portable 2tb quite easily and I wonder if it's also possible on the "slim" version?

  • RudedogandDweebs on 16/12/2018 - 12:56

    What’s the strategy here? Just get jbhifi and ebgames to price match this? Chances of this deal having stock seems pretty low…

  • Wallace on 17/12/2018 - 10:02

    I just Googled this and it seems like it doesn't support 4K output like the pro. Still a good deal for those with only FHD TVs.

    Prices sure drop fast, seems like yesterday when I bought a PS3 for $100 at a target special.

    • Topdog on 17/12/2018 - 11:54

      Does not have 4K but displays HDR

      • asa79 on 17/12/2018 - 21:05

        That will be 1080p HDR not 4k HDR

    Looks at the amount of Click it got. The thirst is still real with this one.

  • viology on 17/12/2018 - 22:06

    Would I be able to buy this, not open it, and if a better deal comes around on boxing day, return it?

    • RespectMyAuthoritar on 17/12/2018 - 23:33
      +1

      Yes, Big W have a 90 day 'Change of Mind' policy as long as you haven't opened it and have the receipt.

      But here's a better idea. You can purchase this from Big W, open it up and play it etc. If within 90 days a better deal pops up at another store, then purchase it and return it brand new to Big W under their 'Change of Mind' policy using your Big W receipt. All barcodes are generic so Big W has no idea you are returning a console you purchased from a different store.

      I have never done this myself, but I don't see it as being too dodgy, it's not like you are returning a used console and passing it off as brand new…But that's just me.

      • cariDisc on 18/12/2018 - 00:22
        +2

        Never buy one from bigW, but from ebGames, the receipt will have your console serial number in it, so if they check, your plan won't work 😁

          Oh, well there you go, I had no idea they do that. Maybe it's best not to do it in the first place just to be safe :)
