PS4 is sold out (almost) everywhere — here’s where to get one today

By Jennifer Allen September 10, 2020

Hunting down a Sony PlayStation 4? You aren’t alone. With the entire nation stuck inside until further notice, demand for the console has rocketed. While most retailers have sold out, there are still some that have them in stock, ready to leave the warehouse today. Here’s where the run-of-the-mill PS4 and the souped-up PS4 Pro are still available.

PS4

The PS4 shoots in and out of stock faster than a speeding bullet. Fortunately, we here at Digital Trends are on hand to help: We’re monitoring all the leading retailers, cataloging those that still have the console in stock below. List looking a little short? Can’t find what you’re looking for? We’re updating it around the clock, so bookmark this page and keep checking back.

PS4 Pro

Being the more expensive of the two, it’s no surprise the top-of-the-line PS4 Pro isn’t as hard to find as the standard PS4. Having said that, the console still flies off the shelves, so there’s no guarantee the following retailers will still have it in stock in half an hour. Again, we’re updating the list around the clock. If it’s looking a little short, be sure to circle back a little bit later.

PS4 Pro (1TB) at Amazon

PS4 Pro (1TB) at Best Buy

PS4 Pro (1TB) at Walmart

We should note that we have only featured products that have been priced fairly and aren’t being offloaded at an extortionate markup. The consoles featured above cost near enough the same as they did this time last year, with a couple even selling at a discount. As always, you can rest assured you’re getting the best price by shopping through Digital Trends.

After something a bit different? Here’s where to buy the Nintendo Switch. We’ve also rounded up all the best Xbox One deals and the best Black Friday PlayStation 4 deals out there at the moment, including a must-have offer on the Xbox One S All-Digital (1TB). You’ll probably want to act fast for those too, though. Something tells us they won’t be around for long …

NYT Crossword: answers for Friday, November 8

The New York Times has plenty of word games on its roster today — with Wordle, Connections, Strands, and the Mini Crossword, there's something for everyone — but the newspaper's standard crossword puzzle still reigns supreme. The daily crossword is full of interesting trivia, helps improve mental flexibility and, of course, gives you some bragging rights if you manage to finish it every day.

While the NYT puzzle might feel like an impossible task some days, solving a crossword is a skill and it takes practice — don't get discouraged if you can't get every single word in a puzzle.

The PS5 Pro holds the key to the PS6’s success

The hero of Shadow of the Colossus stands in a temple.

When the PlayStation 5 Pro was revealed, the big buzzword to come out of the presentation was PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). This was PlayStation's "secret sauce" intended to sell the $700 upgrade to new customers and existing PS5 owners alike. Similar to AI upscaling seen in technology like DLSS, PSSR allows games rendered at a lower resolution to be upscaled using AI to appear more detailed. For the PS5 Pro, this means removing the need to choose between a performance mode that prioritizes frame rate and a resolution mode that sacrifices frame rate for a clearer picture.

PSSR is the first time any kind of AI upscaling has been used on consoles ... and will be key in PlayStation's success for its true next-generation console.
Sidestepping the graphical arms race
With rare exceptions, new game consoles have mainly sold themselves based on providing a graphical leap above its predecessor. This was clear as day going from 8- to 16-bit systems, and perhaps at its peak going from 16-bit to 3D, but has since hit a level of diminishing returns. PS5 games are undeniably better looking than PS4 games of the same scale, but the differences are in the margins.

This is a good week for strategy game fans subscribed to Xbox Game Pass because November's first new additions to the service all fall within that genre. Two of them are real-time strategy game classics from Blizzard Entertainment, and the other is a strategic take on an arcade classic. If you're playing on a console, these additions may not mean as much to you, but for Game Pass subscribers with access to a PC, these recently added strategy game games are well worth your time.
StarCraft: Remastered
StarCraft Remastered Announcement

The original StarCraft is a monumental release for Blizzard Entertainment. It gave the studio a third pillar franchise alongside Warcraft and Diablo, was one of the first major esports games, and set a standard that most RTS games after it have tried to follow. In 2017, Blizzard released StarCraft: Remastered, updating the classics' visuals, audio, and online features; that's the version of StarCraft that has come to Xbox Game Pass. While there are more approachable RTS games nowadays, PC gamers should check out the original StarCraft if they've never played it before to better understand the foundational building blocks of the RTS genre.
