III is practically here and as part of celebrating it Sony is running a week-long promotion called days of play which has all kinds of discounts and stuff but definitely the biggest head-turning thing to come out of it is this special edition gold ps4 with one terabyte hard drive that's selling right now for 249 50 bucks off what a regular ps4 cost now I'm personally not a huge fan of gold I love gone let's open this one up and see how it looks and of course there is another box to deal with first okay here we have it oh wow this is a bit different than I expected the picture made it look like a flatter gloss or a platter matte finish but this is actually a bit glossy er than I was expecting it's not full-blown I'm you can tell just by touching it but it definitely has a much brighter sheen than I was expecting that it's certainly a system that makes a statement do have one other gold theme thing in this box and that's the controller and once again this does have that kind of higher Sheen matte finish except for the backside the grip is just a regular kind of not even fully gol most just like a sand tan color I actually kind of liked the look of this a little better my just because the controller so it's a smaller thing but definitely just as loud as the system now this is the third color PlayStation 4 slim we have gotten so far there is of course the regular matte black the glacier white there is also the final fantasy 15 limited edition design but that's still a black system it just has a big ol moon plastered on the top of it so this is the third color we've gotten and do you be able to do the kind of my least favorite mostly because it's just so out there I mean this thing if you want a system to really show off this is going to be a good choice because it is a very very flashy system I mean honestly we actually had to take a little time setting up the shot right because if I had to angle just the right way at the window you would currently be blinded by the Sun reflecting off of it I will say though I do actually like this one more than the previous gold system that we got I mean there weren't very many of them but for the original PlayStation 4 sony did release a limited tacobell edition that was gold on top black on bottom I didn't really care for that two-tone approach so I do appreciate this one went for a full gold design with just a little black trim running through the middle which i think was a good call now if you're wondering why all of a sudden we got a shiny special gold PlayStation 4 out of blue that's because it's part of like I said earlier Sony's days of play celebration basically this is a whole event wrapped into e3 where Sony is trying their best to build up a lot of hype for all their announcements and wanting people to jump in the system so why not offer a limited edition color at a lower price than usual on top of that they're doing all kinds of other sales at the same time reading discounts on controllers going for 40 bucks the PlayStation gold a headset going for 80 gold is in the model not the colors like that you also some of the biggest PlayStation games are going on sale as well for instance horizon zero dawn and neo going for 40 bucks apiece also digitally they're doing a whole bunch more sales on Sony exclusives and some big triple-a titles like Battlefield 1 Mass Effect Andromeda and 10 bucks off full year's for PlayStation Plus if you guys want to grab all those sales right now notice really cool that we're getting new colors for the PlayStation 4 slim but I am a little sad that we're not seeing any kind of treatment for this on the ps4 Pro just yet I mean I get it it's a more expensive system already in the first place it's a specialty item in and of itself but seeing some limited edition colors in that even if they were more limited run than these would be really really cool
