A used ps4 is probably the best value in gaming right now. For ~$200 you can get the console and a bunch of games.
The best time to buy a console is just after its sequel is released, lots of people upgrading and selling their old one with all the games and controllers
You can also jailbreak it, depending on the firmware version
I always said that about the PS2, or early model PS3s if you can get one for a reasonable price. Backwards compatibility galore.
A PS2 with FreeMCBoot is always a great option. If you can get a phat model and stick a HDD there, you're golden
