Smaller, faster, better.
The new PlayStation 4 slim is by far, the best design Sony has released yet. It is 30% smaller than the original PS4 model, includes two - 3.1 USB outputs which allows the Dualshock 4 controller to have ZERO latency when plugged in. The new lineage to the PlayStation empire also includes capabilities in 5G Wifi for faster, more reliable connection speeds and downloads. The only gripe I have heard from other reviews is that this model specifically does not have a Digital Optical output, which allows third-party headsets to utilize 7.1 surround sound audio simulation such as Dolby/DTS. My rebuttal to those disappointed, Sony has never utilized the Digital Optical output in any of their headsets, and have 3 headsets (including the new Platinum headset soon to be released) that all use 7.1 technology without requiring the use of the now discarded output. There are also new options of third-party headsets such as the new Steelseries Arctis line of headphones that have 7.1 simulation through analog input. As for gaming in general, what else needs to be said, if you haven't heard about how many amazing titles are on this generation's console alone, you have some serious catching up to do. Thankfully, Sony thinks of the customer first, new and returning with great flash sales on PSN almost every month. All in all, it's smaller, quieter, faster, and in my opinion, better looking than the original PS4.

Great Console! And thank you Best Buy!
I love this console! I got this set for black Friday and I was soooo excited when I found the package on my doorstep. I'm a college student and it's my winter break. I've spent quite a bit of time enjoying the awesome graphics, made some use out of the blu-ray player (only had a regular DVD player before), and tried out some different games. Uncharted 4 is really fun! I also got Ratchet&Clank with the set because of the black Friday sale. I already finished that game, it was so much fun! I grew up only having a Wii and I eventually bought a Wii U, but I really wanted to expand my options. After debating between this and an Xbox I'm really glad I went with the PS4. The graphics are amazing and I love the exclusives :) Kudos to Best Buy too, because their customer service was excellent! I had to contact them because there was a problem with stockage for one of my items. They could not have been any nicer! I was pleasantly surprised by how accommodating they were!

I like it.
I havent owned a playstation since the first one came out. Also had the first PSP. I was surprised with how familiar i was still was with the PS4 when i turned it on. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE SIZE. It sits perfectly on my wall shelf vs the xbox one which has the front 2 feet hanging off the edge in order to fit. I havent noticed any lag. I do noticed however that the controller battery doesnt last as long as my xbox controllers.

PS4 great system
I decided to get the PS4 and give my PS3 to my son. I am glad I finally did that. This system is awesome and the graphics are way better then what I was used to. I love this system and been buying up games like crazy to see how they all look.
