I wanted to buy a PS4 for my 18 y/o son for Christmas. He mentioned that he'd like to save up for one to take with him to college in August. He owned a PS years ago and sold it when he was 11 or 12. He prefers gaming online and has a huge desktop computer gaming system. He said he'd like the PS4 because he doesn't want to take his system with him when he goes away because there won't be a lot of room for it.
I've casually asked him a few questions about it, but I don't want to spoil the surprise. Yes, I still want to surprise him even though he isn't a little kid anymore.
I have already ruled out the Pro. From everything I have read it is most beneficial if you have a 4K TV which he won't have.
I am reading negatives about the Slim. I guess it doesn't have a lot of storage. My son mentioned that he likes to buy the discs because that way it doesn't take up space...at least that's what I thought he said. Does that make sense? If he doesn't download his games, am I safe getting him the Slim? I don't mind buying this for him, but I really do want to make it as cheap as possible. I've invested enough in his gaming stuff at this point! It looks like I'll be able to pick one up for $249 this weekend with one game. Good enough??
