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.

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.
Aside from those issues, however, the PS4 Slim is everything you'd expect it to be. It would have been nice to see Sony adopt Microsoft's stance and add some new features, but in truth, it really didn't need to.
Four years down the line and 40 million units sold, the PS4 has been a great success for Sony. By focussing on games first and foremost, the Japanese entertainment giant as managed to quickly rebuild a customer base that was severely depleted thanks to the pretty large mistakes made with the...
Great gaming platform; Good value for money; Controller could be best ever; Same amazing gaming library
Optical audio port removed; Still not sure on aesthetics
Good console with a nice slim design and fantastic exclusive single player story based games. but i wish it could play music CDs and also i wish it was backwards compatible and i dont like how they took Vidzone off the PlayStation entertainment network.
Next-gen gaming is a glorious reality but you’ll have to make do without some last-gen features
Simple set-up and interface; Games look and sound great; Good selection of TV; film and music apps; Decent AV performance
No 3D Blu-ray; CD or DLNA support; Not as good as a dedicated disc player
Hot on the heels of the Xbox One, Sony’s new console releases this week. Tom Hoggins assesses the merits of the new PlayStation
The Xbox One might be the most advanced new console in terms of features, but the PlayStation 4 has it licked as a dedicated games machine. There’s power and potential hidden inside the compact case, and all it’s missing are the games to take advantage of it.
Sony has ignored its rival's attempts to take over the living room, as Microsoft integrates media services such as television into the Xbox One. Instead, the Japanese giant plans to focus the PlayStation 4's abilities on pure gaming.
PS4 redefines rich and immersive gameplay with powerful graphics and speed, intelligent personalization, deeply integrated social capabilities, and innovative second-screen features, all combined with cloud technology.
It's huge question: Should you buy the new PlayStation 4 game console? The short answer: Yes, definitely. But maybe not quite yet. Let's take a deeper look.
Amazing controller; social media functions; better graphics.
Needs more exclusive, must-have games; won’t play PS3 games.
