we now have five different ps4 slims released officially by Sony so I think now is about the time that we take a look at each one of them and I'm going to rank my favorite one aesthetically from worst to best taking things off at the bottom is the original all-black ps4 slim now this was first released in September late last year coming with a 500 GB hard drive although ever since April of this year they now include one terabyte and I got to say when it first came out not a huge fan of the redesign I actually like the original ps4 more but as I've spent more time with these systems and I've had them around is a grown on me a lot in that situations actually flipped that being said this original design still my least favorite out of all the ones they've done because honestly I find the all-black design to be kind of boring I mean I guess that's sort of the main color Sony uses for a lot of systems it's been the default color of every one of them since the ps2 it's just not interesting at all you know I like the fact that they went with all matte this time it didn't really use any gloss outside of on the logo here which really makes it pop out but otherwise it's just really simple and plain coming in at number four is the special edition Final Fantasy 15 ps4 slim now as the name implies this was released alongside a 15 during November and is currently the only actual game tied special edition system right now until the end of this month when the Dragon Quest 1 comes out in Japan only now I'm a little conflicted on the system because I really want to like it you know I'm a huge fan of Final Fantasy I think there's a lot of great ideas going on with this system but there's just a few things holding it back for me you know I love the moon design I like the 15 in the middle with the gold itching I don't know why they felt the need to list character names underneath it like a cast and crew notes or something it just seems really out of place to me and well I like the moon in concept I don't like the approach of doing this ultra lean gloss and matte finish kind of thing because well it does look kind of cool it now adds a gloss feature to the system which I don't like because it now is a fingerprint magnet it would have much cooler my opinion if they did something like a matte black design with an etched in golden or silver moon or just something that maybe added a little more color to it instead of being this all black design also since everything cool about it is on the top you basically have to have it in tower mode all the time to actually show off this unique system you have next up is the gold ps4 slim now this particular model came out in the US during e3 as part of Playstations days of play promotion work came out at a temporary lower price point of 250 bucks and included a one terabyte hard drive later on it made its way to Europe but that version only has a 500 gig hard drive but does include two controllers now before you even get into what I think of the gold color itself I can give you a very very simple reason why I like this one and all the other ones on this list more than the first two and that's to tone the fact that there's this little black line in the middle with gold for the rest of the system I don't hate the black color of the other two systems I hate the fact that it was one single color throughout the fact that this one actually gives you a little bit more form and design by using two different colors that kind of contrast each other just makes it look so much better now as for the gold itself for our runner up we have the art is an Arctic our glacier white you kept saying Arctic and now I'm like half convinced it is yeah Berenstein the new Berenstein you're from the universe where was barren anyway so we still rolling we're still rolling it is glacier white okay originally released as an exclusive system in Europe but it did make its way over to Japan as well as the US and the US release was actually very very quiet its action exclusive to Walmart that comes in a bundle with called GUI infinite warfare that's the only way to grab the systems if you want one that's your only option in the u.s. at least and I definitely like this one a lot more than the gold you still have that kind of contrast look with the black line in the middle but I think the white works a lot better with it then the gold does it's not this overly gaudy system it's just this nice cool-looking white with the black contrast now I do have one kind of weird nitpicky thing about the system I know it's very very minor but it does bother me and that's the fact the PlayStation logo is just a bit more subdued than the other systems all the other ones have either a very gloss or a even full-blown chrome design that makes it pop out a lot whereas with this one I think it's part of the kind of the glacier design they went instead with this frosted look which is reflective but not nearly as most of the others so it kind of just blends in with the rest of the system a lot more and doesn't pop the way that I would like it to and this leaves at our number one top spot this silver ps4 slim now just like with the gold system this one made its way to Europe coming with two controllers and if I or gig hard drive but unlike the bold one this one did not feel released in the US before or even after if you're in the u.s. you want one of these currently your only option is to import now I'm going to be honest part of the reason why this one is ranked number one for me is that I have a huge bias for silver systems I love the look of the silver GameCube well though they called that one platinum I like the look at the silver ps2 and there's just not a lot of consoles that have been released in this color scheme and I think the ps4 slim is an excellent fit for it just like what the white system I think the black trim gives it a nice just balanced look but unlike the white one you're getting this nice popping PlayStation logo using a chrome finish and just like with the gold while it is a little reflective I don't think it's nearly as gaudy or flashy it's just this nice balance of all these factors that I think make it look like an amazing system that's my favorite one let me know down below in the comments what you guys think what's your favorite system rank all five of them whatever let me know that we'll see you guys later
