The PS4 Slim might be a streamlined gaming device but there's a lot of good stuff happening inside it!
Amazing HDR visuals are bursting with vivid and vibrant colours that really make you feel part of the action. Speaking of great visuals, the slimline console looks extra good and is available in a range of colours: Jet Black, Glacier White, Gold and Silver.
The new interface makes it even easier to organise your games and apps, and share with your friends. Store your games, apps, screenshots and videos with 500GB and 1TB options.
Playing, sharing and hanging out with fellow gamers, no matter where they are, is a key function of the PS4 Slim console. And with Share Play, you can challenge a friend to multiplayer matches or let them play for you, even if they don’t own the game.
With Remote Play, you can stream games to all sorts of devices: PC, Mac, PlayStation Vita or Sony Xperia over your home WiFi network. You can play virtually anywhere, with no need to be stuck in front of the TV.
If you want to show everyone how good you are, you can stream your gameplay and broadcast live via Twitch, YouTube or DailyMotion. To wow them even more, you can share screenshots and videos of your biggest triumphs on Twitter and Facebook.
Regular system software updates means your PS4 Slim will constantly introduce you to cool new features and even more ways to connect, share and play.

If you don't have a PS4 yet and aren't swayed by the (uneven) graphical benefits of the PS4 Pro, the PS4 Slim offers the same excellent gaming experience in 1080p, and all of the storage, for $100 less. It remains an Editors' Choice as one of the best home game consoles available.
Smaller, sleeker design; Supports the full PS4 game library, including PS VR; 1 TB hard drive
No PS4 Pro-like hardware improvements; No optical audio output; Online multiplayer requires a PS Plus subscription
There are really only three things you need to know about the PlayStation 4 Slim. If none of that quite makes sense, don't worry. Here's why Sony currently has two PlayStations on the market, and how they differ from one another.
The newer PS4 has a smaller footprint, slick design, quieter operation and keeps intact all of the PS4 awesomeness it's offered since 2013; The slightly updated DualShock4 controller is a bonus
The slim PS4 loses its optical audio port, which will be a bummer for third-party headphone users; The somewhat pricier PS4 Pro delivers a larger hard drive and the promise of better graphics
After selling over 40 million consoles, Sony is refreshing the PlayStation 4 . That starts with the PlayStation 4 Slim, available now for $299, along with the PlayStation VR headset (out next month) and the higher-powered PS4 Pro, which comes out in November.
The main problem I have with this, however, is first when it came it arrived in a bag instead of a box. Second, the ps4 controller was horrible and the thumbsticks were terribly scuffed and the rubber was worn off even though it said it was "new".
Now slimmer than ever, the refreshed PlayStation 4 fortifies Sony's iconic gaming platform.
Faster Wi-Fi can make a big difference; Smaller chassis with fun design; Same great PS4 game library; More affordable than ever
No more optical port; More powerful PS4 console also available
When Sony unveiled two new versions of the PS4 during its special PlayStation Meeting in New York it rather glossed over the new, slimmer version of the console, dubbed the PS4 Slim. The company understandably put greater focus on the higher-specified 4K gaming powerhouse that is the PS4 Pro .
Smaller device than original PS4 that's easy to hide out of the way; new DualShock 4 controller with USB communication; easier to swap out hard drive than before; capable of HDR gaming
Not the prettiest machine on the market; no optical digital audio output; a mere 500GB HDD; no 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player; Pro's added power makes it the more obvious choice
About a third smaller than the original PS4 and a third more energy efficient, it drops the two-tone matte-and-shiny finish of the first PlayStation 4 and removed the indicator light strip in favour of an all-matte black console.
The PS4 Slim (given the technical title of CUH-2000) represents the new standard PlayStation 4 console. It's a hardware revamp that incorporates a makeover of both console and controller.
Incredibly quiet; Much more energy efficient; Looks lovely; Easier to expand HDD space
Controller analogue sticks still not durable enough; The PS4 Pro makes this a tough sell to dedicated fans
Update: If you're looking forward to seeing what's coming next from PlayStation, then you'll need to wait for Paris Games Week, an event taking place in October. Sony has announced that it's not planning on announcing anything big at Gamescom 2017 , and will instead be focussing on the French show.
