Is The PS4 Slim Worth It? #Helpful Post

hey guys Boston and this is the ps4 slam

now this is a fairly new console in fact

it literally arrived here 23 minutes ago

courtesy of my good buddy Ken however I

think the big question is is this worth

it

slim consoles are nothing new however

what is a little bit interesting about

this is the fact that there is another

ps4 coming the ps4 pro in just a couple

months not only is it a redesigned

console but it's also seen a price cut

so this now runs $300 versus the

original ps4 which used to go for 350 on

top of that as you might be able to

guess from the wonderful artwork it now

includes uncharted 4 in the Box I'm

really curious to see how this ps4 slim

actually performs because with that pro

coming out there's very little reason to

get this if you know there's something

better in just a couple months all right

so if we open up the box we'll see first

of all a headset so it's the same little

mono headset they've been shipping with

the ps4 forever

also have a micro USB cable to charge

the controller

you also get an HDMI cable in the box

now something interesting about the ps4

slim is that unlike the Xbox 1s it does

not support 4k but there is an update to

support HDR however that HDR update will

now work on all PS fours super confusing

I know there's also the power cable so

just like the Xbox 1s in the original

ps4 there's no power brick now this time

around the controller has actually been

slightly redesigned some curious to see

if I could open it from the right side

would be helpful so she feels like right

now this is the same thing so this is an

original ps4 controller and this is the

slim I'm not seeing a lot of difference

first glance oh there's a little bit of

light up there also have a full disk

copy of uncharted 4 this is actually a

nice touch I feel like most of the time

you just get a digital download I think

that's everything for the unboxing let's

actually get the console itself and I

can already see it's tiny Wow

whoa that is a lot smaller now a

surprise when I saw the original Xbox

one versus the S at how much smaller was

but this is this is even bigger of a

leap whoa

first of all no more glossy plastic that

is a lot better-looking in person than

any of the pictures or videos that I've

seen when I first saw the leaks and some

of the early hands-on pictures was like

what so it's kind of like someone took

an original ps4 and chopped off the top

half but the big difference is in the

height so the slim is well slim unlike

the original ps4 which had these

annoying touch buttons for power and

eject the ps4 slim has dedicated

physical buttons now are they much an

extra to hit but they're also different

sizes you know which ones which you know

what this is a nice little touch so Sony

has all the feet are the square a

completely pointed China since around

back we have the port for the power we

have places you camera HDMI and Ethernet

there is no optical audio but honestly I

don't think that's a huge loss and

unlike the Xbox 1s which drop the Kinect

port you're pretty much getting the full

experience here there's also what looks

like a hello ah did say get to the hard

drive one fancy ps4 screw later we

should be able to get at the hard drive

this should be a normal 500 gigabyte

hard drive I've got to give Sony props

they have made it even easier to get the

hard drive on the ps4 slams still 5400

rpm this should be pretty much identical

to what you would find in the original

ps4 order all you do is find basically

any sort of SSD or small two-and-a-half

inch hard drive it should fit in this

caddy and you can drop it right back

into the ps4 especially considering this

is only $300 it actually might not be

crazy to consider just upgrading the

hard drive when you first get it 500

gigabytes is decent you'll be able to

store a few games but stuff like that in

charge it's like 50 gigabytes and does

not take long before you'll fill that up

hardware wise the ps4 slam is pretty

much what you would expect I have a slim

console of what I'm curious about is how

does it actually perform get into a game

and it's essentially identical to the

original ps4 which shouldn't be a

surprise in theory it can support HDR

for apps and games however there's

nothing out yet and I imagine most games

will focus on the ps4 pro on the HDR

side where you will notice it

sound the older ps4 was always noisier

than I'd like and a lot of it was thanks

to the blu-ray drive the new slim drive

is a bit quieter but not by much switch

to a digital title like rocket League

and the slim is still a fair bit quieter

the only issue is when you put a disc in

the slam ya hand-in-hand with noises

power consumption both the Xbox one s

and ps4 slim are based on an updated

hardware architecture which enables the

same performance in a smaller package

and the slim definitely takes advantage

it idle it's a noticeable difference but

while playing uncharted for the original

model needs nearly twice the power it

also runs a bit cooler the original only

really got warm when it didn't have

access to clean air but the slim runs a

few degrees cooler across the board a

less obvious but seriously needed

upgrade is in the Wi-Fi Department the

original ps4 had only 2.4 gigahertz

Wi-Fi which inelia is fairly slow but

incredibly prone to even worse slowdowns

in areas like apartments where there's a

lot of interference the slim thankfully

has at least upgraded to five-year Hertz

Wireless which delivers up to triple the

speed on my connection it's not perfect

but a huge improvement so is the ps4

slim war isn't what depends if you

currently own a Playstation 4 this is

not a great upgrade sure it's better

however with the ps4 pro on the horizon

it just doesn't make sense however if

you haven't jumped on the ps4 bandwagon

yet it gets a little bit more

complicated and if you don't have a 4k

TV the ps4 slim is totally fine

however the ps4 probe will still have

some upgrades in performance even on a

normal TV and you're also getting a one

terabyte hard drive so it's not what the

extra hundred dollars for most people

probably go over at the slim is still a

solid console as always if you guys

wanna check this out I will have a link

in the description and you can also

check out one of my recent videos where

I took a look at me forgotten into no

console this crazy contraption called

the Panasonic cue hey guys is Austin's
