Remember they just want to sell stuff, not judge you on why you want to buy a lower firmware console. Most local shops will let you check the firmware version if you explain your situation. Again, leverage the return policy if you’re not getting what you want.Īlternatively, buying online might not be the best option for you: you might have better luck going to your local “used and new” shop, and actually try the console to verify its firmware. There is no guarantee that the links below will consistently ensure a lower firmware.
Let me insist that you need to do your homework: contact the sellers to confirm as much information as possible before buying, make sure you understand their return policy, etc.
Specific bundles below, keep in mind the list is not exhaustive. On Amazon, searching for PS4 bundle will get you started. Make sure to get a “sealed” unit or ask the seller for confirmation of the firmware. The ideal way to get yourself an “old” PS4 firmware is to buy one of the old bundles, and to get it new. Use it if the PS4 is not the one you expected! If this happens to you, see point 4 below. Similarly, some sellers might sell a console + the game as a “bundle” without actually selling “the” bundle as it was originally released.
Be careful here, as always, ask the sellers for details if possible. On Amazon and eBay, some sellers sell a different product than what the description says.This is true both online and in brick&mortar stores. Ask them to confirm the firmware version before buying anything. If you get a “used” console, be careful: most sellers update the console to the latest firmware before selling it.It’s easier to ensure you have the right firmware version if you get the device new and sealed, not “used”.Bundles released shortly after that date might also have the right firmware, but your mileage might vary.
Any bundle released before that date will have a firmware below 7.55. PS4 Firmware 7.55 was released on 6 (August 26th, 2020). “Reasonable” in quotes here, considering that the PS4 has been increasingly hard to find. If you’re looking for a 7.55 PS4, for homebrew, hacks, or other purpose, follow this guide to help you get a 7.55 PS4 for a “reasonable” price. This is in particular true since those Jailbreaks are typically followed by piracy, which make the devices attractive for a larger category of people than just tinkerers. When this happens, exploitable console prices tend to go up on the secondary market. A 7.55 PS4 exploit was disclosed in January 2021.
