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
Always significantly quieter than the original and often silent, Usefully smaller and arguably better looking, Tiny, handy tweaks to the controller
No optical output or 4K Blu-ray drive
The most important question to ask is which console your friends have got, because gaming with mates is a real fun-multiplier All told, the PS4 Slim improves on its predecessor in almost every way. It's much smaller, lighter, quieter and cheaper. Some pe...
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...

Excellent video game exclusives, Great way to experience VR, Same power as original PS4 but slimmer model
4K resolution limited to PS4 Pro model,
The PlayStation 4 Slim really is just the original PS4 model in a smaller shell—that's it. All the hardware is the same and will play exactly like a thicker PS4. What it won't do is play like a PS4 Pro, which has 4K support and more power. What the PS4 Sl...
Excellent exclusive games, Fantastic value for money, Dualshock 4 controller is great
No 4K Blu-ray player or 4K streaming, No optical audio out port
As a games console, the PS4 Slim is every bit as fantastic as the launch PS4. It offers the same specs, the same great library of games and services but now in a slimmer, sleeker form. Where the PS4 Slim slips up is with its lack of 4K Blu-ray and 4K stre...

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
The PS4 Slim is a deja vu game console: great for gamers on a budget, not quite as good as the PS4 Pro and skippable for any existing PlayStation 4 owner...
More compact than before, Quieter performance, Even more portable than before, No more distracting LED strip
Lacks the UHD Blu-ray drive of the similarly priced Xbox One S, Pack-in DualShock 4 controller still has abysmal battery life, Only available with a 500GB disk
In a vacuum, the PlayStation 4 Slim is a great console. It's smaller, quieter and much more portable than the original PS4. But unless you need a new console right now and are on a strict budget, there's no reason to buy it when the higher-powered PS4...
