If you’re on the fence about purchasing another PS4, I took the plunge for you on Black Friday like some sort of silly goose. Read on fam for the pros and cons of the whole shebang.
Blu-ray Capability
Wanna become a blabbering physical-copy hoarder? Cool, as did I. Completely digital media has lost all soul and gumption it had left. So, let’s throw it back a generation when disk media hung out like an old best friend. The medium is here to stay and, of course, you are more than okay with that sentiment. Brass tacks moment, Blu-rays look nice. Could be just placebo science going on but jeez they look nice. Opening the keep case offers a fine dose of nostalgia as well. Gotta feel it.
Additional Gaming System
Don’t sleep on the Sony console’s primary function dawg. Get that second ability to play AAA games in another room of the house. I put the secondary PS4 in the living room, if you must know. Now, I can play split-screen “Fortnite” without packing my friends into the dark, dank gameroom. It’s a nice bonus.
Cloud Saves/Accounts
Cloud saves aren’t as instantaneous as a player would expect from such a premium machine. That means, making progress in one game between the two PS4s is harder than it should be. Save files should be the last thing to worry about. Also, don’t you dare turn on the PS4s at the same time. Sony’s account management gets all haywire and boots off one your account on the secondary system. Kinda annoying.
In conclusion, this is quite the luxury item. If your home doesn’t have a Blu-ray player in it yet, then absolutely grab a PS4 for this reason. It’s freaking topnotch. Also, starting games that you know will only be played on the secondary machine works out very well. You won’t crash and burn due to the cloud save mess. In the end, buy a second PS4! Love you all.
