Today’s best PS4 deals – August 2020
Wer’re slowly starting to get more information on the upcoming PS5, including what the console will look like. However, we’re still unclear about the launch price of either version of the console, and we still don’t know when the console will release. As soon as we have these two pieces of information, we expect we’ll start to see pre-orders for the PS5 appear.
Why does this matter? Well, as soon as the starting pistol is fired on the PS5, we expect that we’ll begin to see some very exciting offers appear on the PS4. It could take until the traditional Christmas shopping period arrives to see some truly mind-boggling offers, but before then there’s likely to be some very exciting price drops, as retailers look to clear their shelves of the PS4 to make way for the PS5. A similar situation occurred when Sony replaced the original model PS4, and there’s every chance that we’ll see big discounts again come October/ November when the PS5 arrives.
Sony have recently announced that the DualShock 4 controller will only work on PS4 games being played on the PS5, not on PS5 games. This is a blow for long-time PS4 players who wanted to transfer their peripherals over to the PS5, and is all the more reason to upgrade to a PS4 and not get involved in the early battle to get your hands on a PS5. The PS4’s library of games is incredible and deep enough to keep you going for years, and with Sony having also confirmed that only select PS4 games will be backwards compatible, why not experience all the PS4 has to offer first?
Learn more about the PS4
With more than 100 million units now sold, the PS4 is one of the most successful games platforms of all time – and with good reason. Huge exclusive titles, world-class third parties and an enormous player base mean it’s hard to go wrong when it comes to buying a PS4. Don’t be put off by the PS5 being just a few months away – the PS4 has enough to keep you busy for years to come!
What’s more, PS4 is currently the only platform where those with a thing for VR can get their fix. The PSVR headset is one of the most affordable ways to jump into this relatively new gaming platform, linking up seamlessly with any PS4 console to open up a new world of play and interaction. PlayStation has already confirmed that all existing PSVR headsets will remain compatible with PS5, so there’s no reason to put off playing it on PS4.
The added benefits of buying a PS4 Pro
It’s becoming more and more common for manufacturers to launch alternate versions of each of their consoles in order to maximise their potential and help it appeal to casual and hardcore gamers alike. The PlayStation 4 is no exception. The Slim edition in an update on the original console, and is now the most commonly available version, coming in the majority of our bundles above.
However, if you’re someone who wants the most comprehensive PS4 experience possible, there is an alternative. 2016 saw the launch of the PS4 Pro, a significant upgrade on the original and Slim consoles. As we near the PS5 launch as well, we’re starting to see some very enticing drops in the PS4 Pro’s price as well, with some deals coming within £50 of the Slim – not much given the boost in performance you get between the two consoles!
We’ve included a full breakdown of the technical specifications that differ between the Pro and base models below, but the key differences are:
