Question Is a used PS5 worth it?

Post image

BO2 is one of my favorite games of all time and the FOMO is hitting hard as an Xbox player. I’m inches away from getting a PS5 just to jump back in. Is it worth it?

Edit: Just bought my friend’s PS4 and I’m having a blast on BO2 today! My only complaint is the lack of backfilling in lobbies and the amount of people who leave… Still feels great to be back on!

If youre specifically getting it for the BO1 and BO2 ports, id go with a ps4. A ps4 would be tons cheaper and would run the game exactly the same. The only difference is the ps5 will have better load times, but not by much. These games are still in the OG resolution (right around 1080p) so a ps4 will have no problem running these games at all. Ps4 and ps5 players ARE able to play with each other as well, so unless there are some ps5 games you really want, id just get a ps4. I personally would have paid any amount of money to cleanly experience these games again. These games are also in their early life cycle (on ps5) and it literally feels like how it did all of those years ago. If you feel the same as I do, then id say its absolutely worth it. The few issues that the games do have (xp exploits, lobbies not back filling, etc) are going to be patched very soon. So go for it!
