The new PlayStation 4 slim is by far, the best design Sony has released yet. It is 30% smaller than the original PS4 model, includes two - 3.1 USB outputs which allows the Dualshock 4 controller to have ZERO latency when plugged in. The new lineage to the PlayStation empire also includes capabilities in 5G Wifi for faster, more reliable connection speeds and downloads. The only gripe I have heard from other reviews is that this model specifically does not have a Digital Optical output, which allows third-party headsets to utilize 7.1 surround sound audio simulation such as Dolby/DTS. My rebuttal to those disappointed, Sony has never utilized the Digital Optical output in any of their headsets, and have 3 headsets (including the new Platinum headset soon to be released) that all use 7.1 technology without requiring the use of the now discarded output. There are also new options of third-party headsets such as the new Steelseries Arctis line of headphones that have 7.1 simulation through analog input. As for gaming in general, what else needs to be said, if you haven't heard about how many amazing titles are on this generation's console alone, you have some serious catching up to do. Thankfully, Sony thinks of the customer first, new and returning with great flash sales on PSN almost every month. All in all, it's smaller, quieter, faster, and in my opinion, better looking than the original PS4.
