Sony PlayStation 4 Console 500 GB Edition Jet Black [PlayStation 4]

Product Information

Connecting a PS VR to the PS4 Slim is the same process as the original PS4 and PS4 Pro: Plug the PlayStation Camera into the back, run the HDMI output in the back and a USB cable in the front through the PS VR control box, and run the HDMI pass-through from the control box to your TV. PS Plus membership also includes a small selection of free games that rotate on a monthly basis, along with discounts for game purchases. It also means you'll have to look closely at the power button to check the system's status if it's set up in a bright area. The PS4 Slim comes with the same accessories as the launch PS4: a DualShock 4 gamepad, a monaural wired earpiece, a power cable, an HDMI cable, and a micro USB cable.

Sony regularly updates its game systems with new, sleeker designs, and the PlayStation 4 is no exception. It shares the same parallelogram profile with angled front and back panels as the PS4 and PS4 Pro, along with a similar prominent groove running lengthwise around the front and sides of the system. Another benefit to this console is that is easily convertible – if you want to expand HDD capacity as it is filling up and struggling, carrying this out yourself is relatively straightforward.An iconic design that fits perfectly in your hands, intuitive controls that keep you on top of your game and a vibrant array of colours to suit your style. Since its launch a few years ago, the PlayStation 4 has developed a very compelling library of both exclusive and cross-platform games. It's only on par with or slightly less powerful than the PS4 and Xbox One in terms of graphical processing, but it can function as both a home system and a handheld with its dockable tablet design, and we've been very impressed by how well it works in both roles.

It doesn't offer the extra power of the PS4 Pro, though the 1TB of storage available does give it extra capacity if you plan to download a lot of games. The DualShock 4 is the newer design, distinguished by a light strip set just above the touch pad that lets you see its connection status without looking at the light bar on the front of the system itself. Several genre and niche favorites are also available, including Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3, Nier: Automata, Persona 5, and Yakuza 0. With some of the biggest and best games available on PS4 and millions of players worldwide, everyone's here waiting for you. Besides releasing the larger, more powerful PS4 Pro last year, Sony also rolled out a smaller, thinner version of the original PS4.The decision is not really an either/or thing here – if you are looking for the best-performing, with top level 4K gaming graphics, then you are obviously looking for the PS4 Pro. Half-way through its life cycle, both this and rival the Xbox One are getting makeovers and upgrades.

It is now entirely matte black plastic, with slightly rounded corners to make it look a little friendlier and less stark than the sharp-angled, three-tiered PS4 Pro. The PS4 Pro is very impressive for certain games, rendering at resolutions up to 4K or otherwise adding enhanced graphical effects or improving frame rates. com is a leading authority on technology, delivering lab-based, independent reviews of the latest products and services.
