What’s your best memory about your PS2?!

Yes, I know the PS4 Pro is almost a decade old now.

Yes, I know I can play my PS4 games on my PS5 Pro.

However, this console is incredibly cool, and I wanted to add it to my gaming room and collection.

I purchased this bad boy back in 2022 from a small game store in my town. It was priced at $399 USD. I never opened it because I already had a PS5, but a few months ago, I decided to install an SSD and check the firmware to see if I could mod it. To my surprise, it was on ~7.50, so I upgraded to 9.00 and started using GoldHen.

This console is truly remarkable. I’ve played some games on it with my wife, and it runs incredibly smoothly with a fan that’s surprisingly quiet. It’s a CUH-7215, so it doesn’t make any jet engine noise.

So, if someone asks me, “Is the PS4 Pro worth buying in 2026?” I say, “Yes, it’s a fantastic console.” You can find some used Pros for less than $200 USD. If you manage to find a low firmware and mod it, it becomes even better.
