My PS4 has been living without problems for 4 years, my PS4 Pro for 1 year also ^^.
So my PS4 Slim has been working perfectly for 3 years, except that it has become quite loud; maybe I have to clean it again. I think a PS4 Pro won't be a problem for a few years.
I don't know anyone who hasn't had the PS4 Pro for at least 1 year.
Swap Wlp works wonders
Jo, I may have to do it soon. Thermal paste should be changed approximately every 3 years.
If it is an early model with the BloD problems then not necessarily, if it is a later model then definitely
The Ps4 pro has lasted over 3 years so far and was more or less in active use. In general, I have had good experiences with Sony's PS consoles, my PS3 still works great, even though it is over 7 years old
Yoa once is enough, the ones at sony planted pretty bad ones, which after a few years is rock hard. If you use good ones, swapping should be enough (you'll have the next one anyway until it's hard)
