Presentation of the Playstation 4 

Ps4 slim in its standard version

The PS4 health home console is developed by the Japanese firm Sony. She's there fourth console of its category. Marketed worldwide from of November 15, 2013, It exceeds August 1, 2018, the bar of 80 million units sold. GTA V is the best-selling game with more 18 million units sold.

Today it is available in 2 versions :

  • The Ps4 slim version incorporating a 500GB hard drive or 1 TB ((1000 GB).

  • The version PS4 Pro, slightly improved for " pure gamers", Supplied with a joystick incorporating a demo disc. She is too sold in pack with an extra game.

Concerning I'aesthetic, the color of the basic version is black ((pread more sober and uniform than the first version). You can findother color variations but at a significantly higher price.

The PS4, a powerful console over time

The PS4 is equipped with elements that give it a real power :

  • 8GB GDDR 5,

  • 64-bit 8-core processor clocked at more than 2.3Ghz.

Console games operate power over time. The full power of the console is operated only at the end of its lifespan. At the start of the Ps4 era, the player notices a small difference in the graphic plan and on the gameplay ((compared to the previous version). This is explained by a half use of console capabilities at its beginnings.

The connectors 

Front of the PS4 SLIM

  • 2 USB 3.1 ports ((10x faster data transfer than 2.0) to connect the controllers or a PSVR cable.

Back of the PS4 Slim

  • A HDMI socket HDR compatible.

  • A connection port to the electrical outlet.

  • A auxiliary port for the Playstation Camera.

The Sony console also have a bluetooth 4.0and one Wifi at 5GHZ .

L'installationis done in one ten minutes with simplicity and ease. It is the same for the installation of the games which is done almost by itself (much simpler than on a PC). Concerning I'installation of a PSVR headset , it is done very easily thanks to the easy to use instructions. However, the number of cables crossing the room, is too important.

A Hard disk 500GB or 1TB?

The PS4 console with a 500GB hard drive is enough for them standard players. The majority of games weigh between 50 and 60GB, even 70GB for the AAA titles((biggest titles released like Call Of Duty, Fifa…). As to physical games , they weigh between 25 to 35GB.

It is thus possible to store 8 games in dematerialized version and 12 games in physical version. This ability decreases if you have additional files (photos, videos… etc).

To properly choose the size of the hard drive, the 1 TB (1000 GB) is more for " pure gamers "(Like the PS4 Pro version), while the 500GBare suitable for standard players.

Of dimensions and one weight reduced

At the level dimensions , she is more compact with some dimensions and one weight less important. The differences are verified with:

  • A width of 1 cm less.

  • A height of 1.5cm less.

  • A length of 2 cm less.

  • Reduced weight 2kg.

We point out that the dimensions are the same for the PS4 Slim 1 TBbut the weight East slightly higher.

Concerning sound level , she is quieter than the first version ((higher in noise). According to the manufacturer Sony, it consumes less energy since its standby consumption has been divided by 3. In operation, it passes from 130W to 85W during play sessions.

The Helmet of PSVR virtual reality

The PS4offers the possibility of adding the playstation VR , a virtual reality headset. Less expensive than those on PC, it represents in our eyes the best value for money for several reasons :

  • It is more affordablethan the best headsets on the market like HTC Vive and Facebook oculus Rift. It is the best-selling virtual reality headset in its class.
