Overview
The Sony PlayStation 4 Slim is a compact version of the PS4 family. Launched in 2016, it keeps the same games and ecosystem while offering a smaller design and lower power draw than the original PS4. Buying a used PS4 Slim or a refurbished PS4 Slim can save you 30–60% versus the original retail price, while still giving you access to thousands of titles and online services.
What makes the PS4 Slim stand out
- Smaller, lighter design. Easier to fit in living rooms or transport between homes.
- Lower power consumption. Uses less electricity than older PS4 models.
- Same game compatibility. Plays the full PS4 library and supports PlayStation Network.
- Reliable performance for 1080p gaming. Great for most players who do not need 4K.
Key features
- Storage options: commonly 500 GB and 1 TB. Consider how many games you want to keep installed.
- Wi Fi and Ethernet support: Connect easily for online play and downloads.
- HDR support: Better contrast on compatible TVs, even without 4K output.

Is refurbished better than used?
Refurbished units are often tested and repaired by professionals. They may include a limited warranty. Used consoles can be cheaper but have more variation in condition.
