Is the disc drive worth having over the digital edition?

If you buy, borrow or resell physical games, or watch Blu-ray films, the standard edition is the one to get. The digital edition is smaller and cheaper but locks you to downloads.

Can I add more storage?

Yes. There is an M.2 slot for a compatible NVMe SSD, and you can also run PS4 games from a USB drive. PS5 games need the internal or M.2 drive.

Does it play PS4 games?

Most PS4 titles run on it, and many get better frame rates or resolution. A small number of games are not supported.

What do I need to get 4K at 120Hz?

A TV with HDMI 2.1 and a certified HDMI 2.1 cable, plus a game that supports 120Hz mode. Otherwise it runs at 4K 60Hz or lower.

What comes in the box?

The console, one DualSense wireless controller, an HDMI cable, a power cord and a stand. No games are included.

Is it much better than a PS4 Pro?

Yes, in load times, frame rates and controller feedback. The jump is smaller if you already play on a 1080p TV.
