guitarmas Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) Hey everyone, I recently traded a few things for a PS4 Pro with 3 Sony brand controllers. Out of curiosity I went to GameStop just to see what I could get in on trading my PS4 Pro setup toward a new PS5. I didn't physically bring it in...They said that it will be worth about $100. That seems kinda low. What do you guys think? Edited March 22 by guitarmas Grammar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher5.0 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 At this point you should just wait for the PS5 Pro so you dont have to do this all over again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) Ebay prices seem to suggest that you could do better. From what I saw (all 30 seconds worth), Pro's are going for $150-$200 (presumably including a Dual Shock 4) and extra controllers are going for about $25 a pop for used regular (non special edition) DS4 pads. Of course you then have Ebay taking a slice if you go there, but maybe try pricing a bit below Ebay trends and post it somewhere like our own marketplace here or on your local Craigslist? I'd also think about what Punisher5.0 said. PS5 Pro rumors are heating up and reliable sources have informally confirmed basic specs and that it's due later this year. While many feel like the base PS5 has barely been taken advantage of by developers, it's something to consider for sure when the regular disc drive edition for the slim is ~$500 and the Pro with significantly more horsepower under the hood might only be $100-$150 more.

guitarmas Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 Thanks for the replies. I do like the PS4 Pro but I do also like the ray tracing on the PS5. I'm sure that's only one of the many aspects that makes the PS5 a great platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzip Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 More and more people are coming to the conclusion that the PS5 has been kind of underwhelming so far. Not a whole lot that really shows off the new features. And so many PS5 games are still releasing on PS4. I'd think twice before making a money-losing trade for one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) To be fair, the PS5 is the best PS4 there is. The console is worth it just for the massive quality of life difference in general (ridiculously fast load times, an infinitely faster UI, full PS4 Pro compatibility on games, free PS5 upgrades on many titles, a store that is fast and doesn't crap on itself every ten minutes, etc).

You can always do better than GameStop. Their trade values are generally the worst out there. Edited March 29 by Austin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their trade values are generally the worst out there. my experience their trade values are far far better than locally operated stores, anyway playstation 4 pros trade in for 88 dollars and dual shock 4s trade in for 29.70 as for today, best buy gives 110 for the console, but only 10 for the controllers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinson: The Journey We Sing Hitman Go: Definitive Edition Shadwen Nice - I hadn't looked into that. I was just thinking about how I haven't heard about a PS5 game that makes the system a must-own. There are games I want to play on there of course, but knowing that backwards compat is that good, I might look at it harder. What about original PSVR? I've heard some games work and some don't. Is there a way to get the original PSVR headset to work on PS5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way to get the original PSVR headset to work on PS5? On that list of six games I posted in my last post, Robinson: The Journey is a PSVR1 game, so I presume that means the rest of them will work? All of my PSVR1 games work. Original PSVR games do work on PS5! There are some things to be aware of if you want to use PSVR1 on a PS5 though: * You need a PS Camera <-> USB adapter, Sony was giving these out for free if you provided your serial number, I don't know if they still are. * PSVR1 only works in PS4 mode, PSVR2 only works in PS5 mode. What that means is you can only use PS4 peripherals with PSVR1 (Dual Shock 4 will work with VR1, but Dual Sense won't) so don't get rid of your DS4's * Likewise, only PS4 games will work with PSVR1- so for instance, you have a VR compatible game like No Man's Sky which has a PS4 version and a PS5 version, you will need to play the PS4 version to work in PSVR1. You can install both versions at the same time, but they use separate saves. * Some PSVR1 games benefit from the higher performance of the PS5 (and PS4 Pro). No Man's Sky looked and performed pretty awful in VR1 on my PS4, but looks great in VR1 on my PS5! I've heard the same is true of Skyrim and some other games too. Finally, the oldest PSVR1 units from 2016 don't pass HDR signals through. Sony revised it to address this, but if you have one of the earlier units and want HDR, then you'll need to set up a switch box so that the PS5 signals go straight to your TV. I happen to have an earlier unit though, so I have flip the switch-box as soon as I power on my PS5 to switch output to the VR. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've assumed that I have an earlier PSVR unit, but I've never actually verified, so I go back there and switch the cords - lame. I'll have to check if my box can handle HDR.

When I bought my PSVR, my TV didn't have HDR, so I didn't care and saved a little money buying the older VR model. But when I got my PS5, I upgraded to a 4K HDR TV at the same time and there was no way I was going to let my VR unit block that feature, haha Seems like the easiest way to check is from the design of the Breakout Box, if yours looks like this it's the newer model and you have HDR passthru: If it looks like this, it's the old model without passthru: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzip Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 One other thing I should mention is that the PS5 cannot charge the Move controllers! Or at least not the Move controllers with the older-style USB connector (like mine), and those Move's are very picky about what can charge them! A PC can charge them, if you keep your PS4 around it should charge them (but it will pair them in the process which is annoying) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
