The Slim is a Good Option
You’ve arrived here because you’re interested in picking up a PS4 and getting in on all of the action, but you haven’t quite got the cash to splash on a PS4 Pro. While that would normally mean you’d miss out or have to wait on this console generation for a little while longer, Sony has an alternative system that you can pick up. The PS4 Slim is the new base model going forward. It comes with the new DualShock 4 controller, and as you may have guessed from the name, comes in a smaller package than its predecessor.
It will also come with HDR functionality, the only downside is you won’t be picking up the additional benefits of the 4K resolution, or the enhanced VR experience that comes with the PS4 Pro. The Slim will be made available Sept. 15 and will be available for $299. That $100 you save can go a long way towards either games, your PS+ subscription, or maybe just to save for other financial priorities.
