    I love my ps4. Love more that I got the promotion price for $200. I been a loyal PlayStation owner since the first PlayStation. The visual effects are awesome. I love that it plays blue ray movies. The 1tb memory is great for media storage. The only thing that sucks about the PlayStation now is that you have to pay to play online, but aside from that everything is great.

    Slimmer than the original, minus the optical out.

    Takes much less space than the original model, and seemingly have all the exact same features, except that it's missing the Optical Out port, so if you're looking to use Optical for a sound bar for other sound system, you'll have to make due with the RCA output of your TV. On the flip side, I bought this for my girlfriend for Christmas because I knew she wouldn't be using a soundbar anyway, and she's been playing the heck out of it. I was worried the smaller size meant it would heat up quicker due to constrained size inside, but thus far it seems to be doing just fine. I'm still using my old first generation Destiny Edition PS4 with 500Gb and I'm a little jealous of her hard drive having 1TB! I guess time will tell whether or not it's better than the original model. I will say that the sensor buttons on the original first generation model have completely worn out their novelty, and I would really like some regular buttons. I think the second generation original model fixed this without changing the look, but the slim models went to a different button design altogether. The slim includes the original version of the DS4, not the new pro version with the light strip on the touchpad, making the light bar color visible from the front of the controller. This evidently isn't a huge deal, but I'm hoping Sony is packaging future slim consoles with the newer model. Probably not though.

    Great system with the best console-exclusive games available. New slim design is nice and 1TB is enough to hold a good amount of games, but it does go fast if you get games often. Overall the Playstation has a great lineup of games, solid graphics, and useful additional features (like the ability to play Blu-Rays). I only docked a star because mine came with a busted HDMI cable, but the system itself is great.

    This is good for playing the latest PlayStation games. Beautiful picture quality. Easy to use. Controller needs regular charging with repeated use. Downside is you have to pay for online gaming access and it doesn't play previous generation games (ps3, etc).

    It used to work amazingly! I had no problems with it at all up until I sold it.. The guy gave it back to me no less than 4hrs later saying it didn't function properly. So unfortunately I'm stuck with a ps4 console that no longer works as good as it used to. Overall this console was amazing!!

    Better or worse? Nope, just different..

    So, we haven’t had a PlayStation since PS2, been an Xbox household since then (360, XboxOne), which was more a matter of whichever console had a better bundle deal at the time and not for any hardcore gaming reasons because obviously, if we were hardcore gamers this review would be about a $3k laptop and not a console. Anyway, end of October I let my 10 yr old smash his piggy bank and buy himself the PS4 (to connect with friends/family on PS4..and for exclusive titles like Uncharted, God of War for Dad!) and that PS4 has been... since then... almost exclusively..... a $300 Fortnite workstation. Ugh! But I’ve played around with it a bit and oddly enough even though Sony has been at this a lot longer, my only complaints are in the interface being less easy/intuitive for first time users, and PlayStation Plus (at ten bucks a month or $60 for the year and a requirement for online play) being less integrated and initially more confusing (Xbox Live lays out family sharing nicely, whereas even though everyone can benefit from the primary profile having PlayStation Plus, it took some figuring out - I don’t recall as much Google time setting up the Xbox). Since then, browsing, buying/downloading/installing games, watching Netflix, gameplay and everything we’ve done regularly on the other console has been a breeze once becoming accustomed to the different interface. Lastly, should also add, in terms of online speeds/multiplayer games, we have Verizon FiOS Gigabit Internet so bandwidth/connectivity hasn’t been a concern.

    I got this for my son for his birthday. I ordered next day delivery and the gift made it on time! I was amazed. It has been 8months and this PS4 still works just as good as it did on the day we got it. The controller has just recently started to have buttons stick and does not charge like it should. I called Best Buy and although they could not help me with a repair or replacement, they did let me know that Sony does offer a one year warranty on their products. I’ll be calling them tomorrow! Wish me luck ;)

    Great console, and I know a great console since I already own a Xbox One S. Between the two though there isn't much of a difference. I love my xbox because it handles all my media consumption better (movies, tv, and misc) The reason I went and got a PS4 though is that I felt like over the last 5 years or so I missed out on a lot of really great games that would never come to PC or the Xbox. And as a gamer I couldn't allow this, so I wait until Black Friday I picked one up and 6 of the best games over the last couple years. It was a great buy at the price and I'm not looking back. Still love my Xbox One S though.

    Brought this to replace another PS4 my daughter broke, and I can say I still get the same enjoyment from this system as the first one I purchased 9 years ago. I gave it 4 stars because I have a PS5 and I have gotten use to the PS5 faster loading speeds.

    Great Console, But A Little Pricey

    My youngest son moved to California for grad school, and we bought this console for him so he could stay in touch/play video games with his brother in Ohio. Although I thought the unit was a little pricey, my sons play games for hours, so I'd say it was a great purchase. My older son bought his console about a month ago when Best Buy had it $50 off, so if you can wait for a sale, it might be more affordable.
