Description

An excellent all-round console with a fantastic catalog of AAA games, the slimmed down PS4 is better in almost every way compared to the original – barring one notable exception

The PS4 Slim offers the same insides as the original PS4 but benefits from a sleeker design that also conveniently shaves off a few figures from the price tag. It’s a fantastic console, even compared to the PS4 Pro and the next-gen PS5, so even though it may be starting to show its age, it doesn’t stutter for a moment. 

Many models of the PS4 have been discontinued since the PS5 was released, but the PS4 Slim is still one of the remaining being stocked, and Sony intends to keep production going for as long as possible. So, you can find some reasonably priced PS4 bundles in any upcoming sales. But, if you’re looking for something to support 4K gaming, then the PS5 is more than likely up your alley.

The PS4 Slim is also the most affordable option for PS4 home consoles, but there are certain compromises because of this. There’s no 4K resolution and no optical audio output, but you can work with these limitations, so the PS4 Slim offers a lot of bang for your buck. The compact size also means the console is quieter and uses less power.
