After a long wait, the Sony Play Station 4 has launched. Like many others, the excitement was on top of the roof and the PS4 was indeed one of the things that are on top of the list that kids and gamers would want to have for Christmas. Far more than the excitement for getting a great gaming experience, gamers anticipate for a multi-talented and fast game console. Let’s find out through this PlayStation 4 – Launch Edition Review if indeed it has lived up to high expectations.

Click here for the price and for more user reviews.

The official release date for the PlayStation 4 last November 15, 2013 has unveiled Sony’s impressively successful brave attempt at a gaming focused console. Aside from its sleek and sexy design and being small (just over 2 inches tall, 12 inches deep and 10 inches wide), there are a lot more things that will impress you – like the X86 processor, enhanced PC-style GPU, and the 8GB of GDDR5 unified high-speed memory that makes the PS4 needless to say, more powerful than the Xbox One, despite having a smaller size.

### What makes the PS4 a great choice?

Sony has indeed kept its promise of a gamer focused and developer inspired PS4. This gaming system gives the best games and unforgettable gaming experiences possible on the platform. With its awesome features, game developers will undoubtedly unlock their creativity and push further on the boundaries of play through a system that is specifically engineered to cater their needs. The PS system is comes to grip with a powerful custom chip that has eight x86-64 cores and a state of the art 1.84 TFLOPS graphics processor with 8 GB of ultra-fast GDDR5 unified system memory, making game creation much easier and increasing the richness of content achievable on the platform. Hence, you get new games with exceedingly impressive graphics and deeply immersive experiences.

The DUALSHOCK wireless controller is also very impressive and is as great as what most people have said. It has kepts its familiar controls while putting new ways to interact with games and gamers. Enhanced dual analog sticks and trigger buttons gave an even better sense of control, and at the same time the capacitive touch gives way to endless potential for new gameplay possibilities. This controller is comfortable and precise and you can plug any normal set of headphones into it without needing the TV speakers while playing. To add to that, wide options for headphones, keyboards, tablets, and vita connections are indeed remarkable.

### PROS

- Much lighter and smaller than the PS3 (even with the slim version)
- Two different processors makes you able to play and download at the same time
- Has the ability to control the system from your phone
- Has exceedingly faster RAM
- Graphical User Interface is very user friendly
- Speed of the system is amazing and very fast in multi-tasking
- The games are in Blu-Ray format (an obvious advantage compared to the Xbox One)
- Game runs on 60 frames per second (whew!)
- All of your games show up on the menu even if you don’t have a disc in the console (although you have to have the disc in the console when you want to play it)
- Wireless controllers are beyond amazing (great feel in hands and won’t get you tired holding on it for hours)
- Ability to stream games from the PS4 to the PS Vita wireless
- Sloped back hides the cables well (gives the tidy look)
- Ability to charge the controller via the included micro USB cable while connected to the PS4 in standby mode (saves money in buying a separate charger for the controller)

CONS

- No MP3 and no audio CD support (though Sony has promised to fix this)
- You might experience a few glitches in the software, but this is actually pretty normal for launching and first few months
- You can only use an HDMI (no RCA cables anymore)
- Noticeable noise when starting a game on a disc but noise disappears after a while

This baby is indeed worth your hard earned money. It’s a fast, powerful console with an awesome controller and a friendly user interface — and though for now there are some identified bugs and odds, the only real problem is actually the fact that there’s not a single game that will make anyone leap off their couch to buy a console. Well, the PS4 is a great choice indeed.
