PS4 Slim news: Discounts and deals make the new PS4 Slim worth the cost

Sony is selling the new PS4 Slim with a big discount and with a couple of game bundles that make it worth its cost.

The new Sony PS4 Slim is an enhanced version of the PlayStation 4 in terms of design, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, and USB ports. In comparison, there isn't really much of a difference because both consoles still have access to the same games, making the PS4 Slim only a smaller version of the PlayStation 4.

According to Forbes, the PS4 Slim's features are almost at par with the new PS4 Pro, but with the current discounts and game bundles that the PS4 Slim is being sold with, it is a definite premium over the PS4 Pro.

The PlayStation 4 Slim is being sold with a $51 discount at the price of $249 this holiday season. According to Business Insider, the PS4 Slim $249 discounted price is a lot better than the Black Friday and Cyber Monday promotion price of the said game console. The bundle comes with the 500 GB game console and the action-adventure video game "Uncharted 4."

According to Recombu, there are several steps to set up and maximize the PS4 Slim.

The first is to charge the controller first while setting up the whole PS4 Slim console. It is also suggested to lessen the brightness of the controller's light to conserve its battery and to maximize playing time.

The next is to set up the WiFi of the PS4 Slim. This allows the gamer to access the Sony PS account, which will allow access to game updates and multiplayer gaming.

One of the steps is to activate the Rest Mode. The Rest Mode allows the controller to continue charging while the PS4 Slim console continues downloading updates. The Rest Mode also allows easy continuation of playing. With one simple click, the game boots back up as if the game was just paused.
