It would of been a no brainer if they didn't remove the optical output, something that has been a standard since the freaking PS2. And how much money they'll save from removing it? Like 50 cents? Nowhere near the $15 that would of cost them the inclusion of a UHD drive.

ninsigma3156d ago

15 dollars for a uhd drive?? Yeah good luck

eferreira3156d ago

Haven't used optical since 2007. No need for it. Stop complaining troll.

blady_man3156d ago

Well i do use it with my 7.1 head phones, n probably he does too, so u are the troll cause u asume that nobody uses it just because u dont

If Sony sell another 20mill PS4S consoles over the remainder of this gen say over two to three years, thats a saving of £10mill, it all adds up in the end.

By trying to sound smart you sound all opposite..

Exactly what it is. It's a fantastic console.

NeoGamer2323156d ago

So exactly what does it give that you can't get from a launch PS4 that makes it a no brainer?

I can understand that if I was a new PS4 owner Slim would probably be a good choice. But, I don't know why an existing PS4 owner would go and buy one when HDR will be patched into their existing console (Which I think is very good that Sony are doing).

Nyxus3156d ago

I don't think the Slim is really meant for existing PS4 owners.

TFJWM3156d ago

It is crazy. I was in Best Buy and people were trading in their reg PS4s for $120 and I'm like that is a while to give it up till the PS4P comes out but no they were trading in for the Slim...

I was like you know it really doesn't have any upgrades why not just trade in for the pro in a couple months, they didn't care and just wanted it cause it was new...

MasterCornholio3156d ago (Edited 3156d ago )

Launch PS4s won't be available once they get rid of the stock. Which is why the Slim is a fantastic option for new PS4 owners who are on a budget.

I believe you didn't understand what i was trying to say.

@Ny

You got that right. The meaningful upgrade for current PS4 owners is the PS4 Pro.

@TF

A lot of people do that when a new model comes out. The good thing about that it that it's still a sale for Sony. And the other side of that is there will be a flood of cheap used PS4s on the market which will future fuel PS4 software sales.

OB1Biker3156d ago (Edited 3156d ago )

I dont understand the hate. Seems a very sleek console and not standing out to much.
Also dedicated gamers who need a new console will probably prefer the Pro which is good value for the price so they dont need to 'hate' this one.

MasterCornholio3156d ago (Edited 3156d ago )

To be fair most people that complain are the ones who want to watch UHD Movies on the device. So far I* haven't seen any gamers complain about the games for Slim almost all of them claim that the slim will provide a great gaming experience just like it's older brother the Standard PS4.

OB1Biker3156d ago

Ive seen many complains about its purported 'ugliness' which I dont get either haha
I think pictures dont do it justice tbh

ninsigma3156d ago

To be fair, most of the people complaining about the UHD are xbox players just because it's something xbox has that playstation doesn't. They don't even have 4k tvs.

UCForce3156d ago (Edited 3156d ago )

A great review ! But it is something to remind of.

Muzikguy3156d ago

Strange this is a no brainer yet there's tons of hate for the Pro. I'd rather get the Pro, myself. Maybe the hate has been more equal and I'm just not seeing it. Really there shouldn't be any IMO as they're both going to be great

madmonkey013156d ago

Only hate amongst Xbox people that are falling further behind

The North American version of the Gold console comes with 1tb of storage, since that is the new standard amount of storage for that region. However N.A. didn’t get the Silver console at all, which is unfortunate since I like that color and would have gotten one. I did get a Gold one when they were briefly on sale at release here in N.A (for $250, they are now $300 or more)..

MetalNCarnet2840d ago

You can currently get a Gold 1tb PS4 with ANY 3 used games of your choice for $379 at my local game store.

Damn, I have the silver controller and looks amazing. A silver PS4 would be welcome.

GamesMaster19822894d ago

Silver one looks nice. Gold one looks horrible.

Probably the best and cheapest place to buy PC parts online.

Double_O_Revan2929d ago

It's pretty much the ONLY place I buy computer parts from, and has been that way for over a decade.

GamingCentaur2929d ago (Edited 2929d ago )

Not a pc guy. Sorry.

rando 2929d ago

@ GamerFanboi: how tf have you never heard of NewEgg ?? lol - thats like somebody saying they never heard of Amazon lmao

DarXyde2929d ago

No, it's not. If you don't have any vested interest in building a PC, you don't go shopping and researching the best deals on components.

Amazon is basically online Wal-Mart where you can get anything. NewEgg is pretty much specialty.

rando 2929d ago

@ DarXyde: if you're a gamer & you shop online for games and/or tech stuff, you should've heard of both. I've never been a PC gamer & I know about it. as do most of my friends that also don't game on PC. they've just been living under a rock. thats all.

DarXyde2929d ago

I haven't heard of New Egg until I took some interest in building a PC but never did.

Your argument comes down to anecdotes and personal associates who could've heard from each other. Needless to say, it's not a huge deal to have never heard of New Egg. If you don't have an interest in something, it can completely go over your head.

rainslacker2928d ago

I hadn't heard of newegg until maybe a year and a half ago when there was an article about how they had something cheap.

While that is a while ago, at the time, I didn't know they were such a big retailer, or that they were quite popular.

Not everyone knows every place every where. Newegg can easily pass under the radar.

Permanent price drop coming at E3, no doubt.

DarXyde2929d ago

If so, I wonder how the price of the Pro will be affected.

rando 2929d ago

@ DarXyde: slim PS4 will get a permanent drop to $249... PS4 Pro will drop from $399 to $349... Scorpio will launch at $399. bet on it.

ILostMyMind2929d ago (Edited 2929d ago )

@TFxGod
You just missed the price of Scorpio.

Sam Fisher2929d ago

Yo if skorpio comes 399$ ill buy it for my best friend, in no way in hell they gonna put it to that price

dirkdady2929d ago

Why do people expect so much out of Scorpio? It'll make as much difference in the grand scheme of thing As the PS4 pro did.

Spencer said it best himself the Scorpio is for the enthusiast looking for high end hardware so price and their own expectations are set to that. For some reason everyone else's expectations are not properly callibrated
