Anyone bought a Graded PS4 before? Am considering one, however, are they dust free and has the thermal been replaced etc.

Quite sure they are sold globally, savings would go towards a 1TB SSHD and so on. I'm a very frugal person, don't judge.

This is akin to "preowned" consoles right?

I don't see why not? I have a few friends with preowned 360s and no wrong has come from them...

They are refurbished from Sony, could be blu ray replacement or whatever.

i got mine ps4 refurbished in summer (same packing).

It looks 100% new and i got 0 problems so far.

That's nice to know, pretty much the answer i was hoping for. Thanks.

in my country you can refund anything you bought online within 2 weeks, so it wasnt an risk at all. The console was 250,-€ on prime day; so 150€ cheaper as usual at that time.

On amazon the ratings are both ways those, some people probl werent as lucky. But like I said, they could just refund the ps4^^

I would say go for it, the PS4 is x86 just like the original Xbox and PCs. It means it should be more reliable than previous consoles. In worst case scenarios the console could only reset itself often times instead not turning on at all like with the Xbox 360, if it is broken.

By the way heres some video from a forum user how to treat consoles and place them in your room, i recommend everyone to watch it, very imformative

Considering a new PS4 is £238 I would just go and buy new and it would be the updated model which is quieter and consumes less power, hell you might actually save that back in the long run if that really matters lol.

Where is it £238? Uncharted bundle is £259, worth considering.

I blame last generation's bullshit belief that PowerPC was a good idea for that one...

Uncharted bundle at $300? What are you waiting for? That's a steal! No wonder it sold like hot cakes!
