When buying a used PlayStation 4 Pro, inspect the HDMI output, Blu-ray disc drive, USB ports, cooling fan and Wi-Fi connectivity. Test the DualShock 4 controller for stick drift, trigger response, battery condition and charging. Also ensure the console has been factory reset, the previous owner’s PlayStation Network account has been removed, and the storage drive is functioning normally.
