Playstation 4 Slim Console Price

The PlayStation 4 Slim 1 TB Console is normally priced at around $350. It comes with 1 controller, a power cable, an HDMI cord, and a set of headphones. Admittedly, this is a bit expensive considering that the next generation of consoles is less than half a year away. However, half a year is still a fair amount of time, and if you would like to get your hands on a PlayStation right now, this is still a great deal. The main reason the price is so high is the terabyte of data, as many consoles come with only 500 GB or less, which is only enough space for 10-20 games, depending on the size of each.
