My first ps4 is in the process of dying doing the whole kick out dvd thing. I am able to fix and get it to work but it mostly just get used for dvds and blue rays at this point so I want to retire it.
My main question is can I get away with APU for this or do I need to have a gpu in mind for this. Like I mentioned previously just looking for something to play DVDs for my Roommates and be a smart device as well. Any other advice will be appreciated!
