I found another leftover fat PS4 in a local store and bought it right away. It was a bit expensive compared to what I could get over the internet, but knowing that it's low fw is what justifies the price for me.
I did see CUH1004A on the box, but never expected it do be 1.76 :D :D
Best...
My box was in the same or even worse condition than that and it turned out to be brand new.
Can you check if the inner box is in similar condition? That one should be intact.
