About this model
The PlayStation 4 Slim is a revised version of Sony's PS4 console, with a smaller, lighter body and quieter operation than the original. It plays the entire PS4 library, from big exclusives like God of War and Spider-Man to indie favourites, and supports Blu-ray discs, DVD playback and streaming apps such as Netflix and Disney+. The 1TB hard drive gives you room for a good number of installed games, and you can upgrade it later with a larger 2.5-inch drive. It also supports HDR10 for compatible TVs, and includes a DualShock 4 wireless controller. This is the ideal console if you want a reliable, affordable way into PlayStation gaming.
