The editors liked

  • 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
  • No one likes to waste power and deal with insane energy bills
  • So it's reassuring to see Sony dialling back the PS4's power consumption. Though the original PS4's looks have become comfortingly familiar
  • The new smaller
  • More reserved design will make it
  • Great gaming platform
  • Good value for money
  • Controller could be best ever
  • Faster Wi-Fi can make a big difference
  • Smaller chassis with fun design
  • Same great PS4 game library
  • More affordable than ever
  • 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.
  • Always significantly quieter than the original and often silent
  • Usefully smaller and arguably better looking
  • Tiny
  • Handy tweaks to the controller

The editors didn't like

  • 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
  • When sat next to the Xbox One S
  • Which isn't massively more expensive than the 2016 PlayStation Slim
  • It's hard not to feel a little jealous of Microsoft's machine's 4K Blu-ray player. It's a luxury
  • For sure
  • But it's a future proofed one that may mean t
  • Optical audio port removed
  • Still not sure on aesthetics
  • No more optical port
  • More powerful PS4 console also available
  • The slim PS4 loses its optical audio port
  • Which will be a bummer for thirdparty headphone users. The somewhat pricier PS4 Pro delivers a larger hard drive and the promise of better graphics
  • No optical output or 4K Blu-ray drive
  • More powerful PS4 console coming soon

  • 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
  • Yes, if you don't already own a PS4. The PlayStation 4 Slim is the most affordable version of this generation's most popular console and, therefore, a great way to experience all of the amazing games this generation on a budget. However, if you can wait a...

  • If you've been patiently waiting for the right time to grab a PS4 console, the hour has come. Affordable, newly-shrunken and with a stonking back catalogue of excellent games, the PS4 Slim is a great entry point into Sony's current gaming world.However, a...

  • 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
  • There's little doubt that when viewed on its own terms, with little comparison to rivals or the former model, the PS4 Slim is an excellent games console. It might not be as pretty as its older brother, but it is as capable. And considering the PS4 current...

  • A welcome refinement to the PS4 formula, the PS4 Slim is still the same great console we already know and love, albeit in a much neater package. For £250 you get one of the greatest games consoles ever made, made even better by an overhauled design and dr...

  • That depends entirely on why you want a pickup. If you're being honest with yourself (and it's totally ok if this is true), you may want a truck for the aesthetic. That being the case, the Ridgeline's “softer” exterior may not fit the bill. Alternatively...
