Sony PlayStation 4 Console, Renewed, Black

Ordered this for Christmas last year for my daughter and so very skeptical. So skeptical even I got the largest protection package possible in case it tore up or broke. Her brother stole hers and she had been so heartbroken that I had to get her one. We have had now nearly a year and it works great. No problems at all. No scratches or problems with machine at all. Works great!

So it had to boot in safe mode in order to install an update necessary to work, but now it's fine. The controller was in rough condition, but I bought another one and I'm still saving money. My son plays it for hours on end and it doesn't overheat or anything. Everything is great!

i love it

The PS3 and the controller was well packed . When I unpacked the item it looked brand new not scratch or scuff mark. The console and controller work like new. Well worth the price

Buyer beware. When I purchased this console, it said in the description that it "shows limited or no wear, and includes all original accessories". I'm not sure who packed this up and sent it to me, but I'm not certain if they've ever seen a Playstation 4 before. If they did, they would know what it needs to function properly. Now, in an original Playstation 4 box, you get: The system The cables necessary for the system, including the power cable and an HDMI cable The controller, which contains a rechargable battery A USB cable that can be plugged into the controller and then into the PS4 console to charge it A Headset (which is more or less a little wire with a speaker and microphone on it, but it does its job). I'm not pulling this out of my rear-- it's listed in Amazon's own listing for the Playstation 4, as seen here: PlayStation 4 500GB Console - Call of Duty Black Ops III Bundle What I received when I ordered this was the following: The system, badly scratched The cables necessary for the system: an HDMI cable and power cable The controller, which looked as if a dog had chewed on it-- part of the thumbstick had been ripped completely off, leaving it very jagged ... And that was it. I didn't mourn the loss of the headset, because I never planned to use it, but the lack of a cable to charge the controller, which is necessary to use the system at all, was not included. As one may expect, this was a problem-- it essentially made the system unusable as it was delivered unless I purchased an additional charging cable and waited another few days for it to be delivered. So, considering that, the promises that this system "shows limited or no wear, and includes all original accessories", are both untrue. It seems from the other reviews that other people were luckier than I was. As it was, I returned this system and headed down to the store to pick up a new one rather than chance it again. Considering that these days, the price difference between a new console and a refurbished one is small enough to be negligible, I would recommend doing the same, if only to avoid the potential problems that come with buying a refurbished system.

Decided to buy a certified device with a 1 year warranty instead of a used machine (for $30 more) from a well-known Game store where you Stop in and buy devices and games. For the PS4 and an extra controller I saved over $70. Device came in a factory recertified box with manual, controller, power cord, and USB cord for charging the controller. It fired up at once, have not had any issues so far. And that's been a trial by fire with a 9 year old playing The Show for hours at a time. UPDATE: I wrote this review too soon. After my son came home today, the device would not stay powered on. Amazon is refunding the cost and I'll try a different unit ... UPDATE #2: When I went to try to back up my son's data to transfer to a new machine, it fired up again. I'm not sure if there was a software glitch that was causing the machine to not initialize, but it is working now. So I'm sticking with this one.

Shipping was quick and the product works just as it should! Best purchase I made while saving money!

Works well

This PS4 only lasted one week before it just went dead. I'd ordered this item because of the return within 12 months back up from Amazon, what I didn't realise is it cost me £17.85 to return the item to the seller. This is not good as this item was faulty. Then like a fool, I gave the seller the benefit of the doubt and bought a slightly more expensive one off them which didn't even get started it would not connect at all. It then cost me another £17.85 to return that one! suffice to say I shopped elsewhere for the third one.

Very quick delivery,perfect working order and good condition thank you

Packaged really well, all cables supplied, and work like new great product

The console works, but has no wifi capability. Doesn't find any networks. Also the controller was faulty as one of the buttons does not work at all. Controllers only connect once the console is on, I'm not able to turn the console on with the controller. If you're willing to put in the extra effort and a few £s to replace parts, this is worth it. If you have no experience with console repair, however, spend a bit more and get one from a reputable retailer.
