An amazing deal came my way today for the new PS4 Slim with a discount of 30% so decided to pick one up following my acceptance to a few renowned gaming groups based in Nigeria.

What do we know about the New PS4 slim

Input/ Output: Super-Speed USB (USB 3.1 Gen1) port × 2, AUX port × 1

Power consumption: Max. 165W
Operating Temperature: 5-degrees C – 35-degrees C

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
The specs above are identical to the 'phat' PS4 apart from the power consumption. Sony claims it will consume a maximum of 165W compared to 250W of the 'phat' PS4. It also looses the optical output found on the phat PS4 which I'm not to pleased about.

It looks very well built and on playing Assassins Creed: Syndicate for around 30mins it ran quietly. I don't see this as a concern for many as with game volume up on monitor or headset, it'll be inaudible if it were noisy.

The New PS4 slim controller doesn't have a glossy finish like the old ones and now has a strip of lighting on the trackpad, not found on the old controller.

Looking forward to some online gaming with a few new friends on PSN.

edit: only gripe is playing ACS at 30FPS, it hurts my eyes.

Bro on the gaming Section, I just be like and you're a Nigerian (you like a Demi god to me) .
Well it's good living Overseas and to have a job that pays. My girlfriend just confirmed it that I'm a Gadget freak, cos I wanna try any teach thats really powerful and worth it. I don't care the price (if only I had it)
I know you game mostly on your PC (those one you build like the paradise Mansion) in my mind I know you own a Phat PS4,
So Boss please if you can pass me that chai. I'd be more than happy.
Officially you're the third person I'm following on Nairaland, when I come there I'll wish to meet you in person so you can tutor me on how to build those machine you call PC.
Bless you Bro

Hi guys, received a used Elgato HD 60 game capture device which can be used to record gameplay on PS4, Xbox One, PC mainly as it only has HDMI input. This device can record gameplay at up to 1080p60 and is capable of recording and streaming to Youtube, twitch and similar at decent settings too. There's nothing like a crisp video on Youtube when watch on your favorite device.

This will be used to capture online gaming with other 9ja players who predominatly use PS4 devices and for the missus to record her MKX and BF1 gameplay which will also go on her Youtube channel coming soon.
