So i figured a topic with a list of console bundles that are on jailbreakable firmwares would be useful so people know what to look for.

Some advice when buying a PS4:
- It’s easier to ensure you have the right firmware version if get the device new and sealed, not “used”
- If you get a “used” console, be careful: expect the seller to update before it is shipped. Same with Local stores also. Make sure to ask first and clarify you want it on a certain firmware.
- On Amazon and eBay, the description isn't always spot on. Make sure to ask the sellers for details if possible.
*Amazon has a great return policy. Use it if the PS4 is not the one you expected.

1.76 Bundles:
- PS4 Glacier White Destiny Bundle
- Battlefield 4 Launch Bundle
- Knack launch Bundle

Psdevwiki is a great resource and will give you unbiased information

You must login or register to view this content.

I typically look for the highest firmware that I would be willing to accept from this page and research it from there

You must login or register to view this content.

4.55 is the highest publicly exploitable firmware to date so we'll use that as an example

You must login or register to view this content.

If you follow the link you'll see the date this firmware was released and you'll know any bundle released up to that date is safe - albeit there will be a handful between the 4.55 update and the next firmware but anything before 11 April 2017 will be on 4.55 or probably lower


Now if you go to this wikipedia page

You must login or register to view this content.

And go to the "Model Comparison" drop down you can find all the bundles when they were released and you can verify the date of firmware to the one we found earlier

You should notice that there are 2 pro bundles that are included in the acceptable date/firmware range that should be safe for purchase

Armed with this information you could buy a bundle from any online website but just verify the timelines and everything else lines up - if you can verify the info with the seller and request a return if it isn't as described in the sale agreement

In my case I went to eBay and bought a 1.76 for $240 back when 1.76 was the only option and the consoles were selling for +$300 - also I did not get a bundle but a sealed console to save even more money

Best of luck in your search - always be an educated consumer and never be stupid - if it seems too good to be true.. then ask for a lower price lol.. or just move on because you know it's probably a waste of time!

About PS4 Firmware 1.76:
PS4 Firmware 1.76 was released on August 20th, 2014. Any bundle released before that date will have a firmware below 1.76.

Some advice when buying a PS4:
- It’s easier to ensure you have the right firmware version if get the device new and sealed, not “used”
- If you get a “used” console, be careful: expect the seller to update before it is shipped. Same with Local stores also. Make sure to ask first and clarify you want it on 1.76 firmware.
- On Amazon and eBay, the description isn't always spot on. Make sure to ask the sellers for details if possible.
*Amazon has a great return policy. Use it if the PS4 is not the one you expected.

Buying a PS4 new, with guaranteed low firmware:
The best way to get yourself a PS4 with low firmware is to buy one of the old bundles, and get it new. The listings below are old bundles shipping with the old PS4 hardware, which are guaranteed to have firmware <= 1.76, if you buy them new.

On eBay, you can look for PS4 Launch Systems in the Game consoles category. Make sure it is a “sealed” unit.

Bundles:
- PS4 Glacier White Destiny Bundle
- Battlefield 4 Launch Bundle
- Knack launch Bundle
- InFamous Second Son + Killzone Shadow Fall + Knack Bundle
- NBA 2K14 Bundle
- FIFA 2K14 Bundle
- Dynasty Warriors 7 Bundle
- Dynasty Warriors 8 bundle

Now if there are any other console bundles i missed that come on 1.76 or lower let me know and i'll add them to the list

Can confirm that the Star Wars Battlefront 2 slim bundle is running low firmware. Just got mine from amazon and after setting it up it was on 4.73. If you buy this be sure to buy it new
