Sony's days of play sale has just started and by far one of the coolest things about this is the limited edition ps4 slim you gotta say when I first saw pictures of this thing my immediate thought was that looks really good this is the best-looking ps4 slim and possibly even just the best-looking PS where they released so far and seeing it in person just further confirms it last time was just one solid color where's this time we're doing this blue design which looks really nice on top of it you're getting this gold symbols on the top which look even when I'm kind of noticing certain things about it that I'm normally not a huge fan of like for instance I know I've told you guys a bunch times before I don't like how Sony is obsessed with doing gloss tops on their special editions and while that normally is true it works really well here you know especially because they're using a mixture of a matte color and a metallic where we have the gold just all together on the gloss looks really nice if I want to be nitpicky there are some little things about it that do bother me mostly having to do with the controller and a part of the system you're never going to see for the controller the blue looks really nice personally I'm just not a huge fan of when on the controller touch pad they do this sort of patterning design where they just put the symbols over and over and over again personal I'm just not a big fan of that I would have much rather just seen you know in bigger letters each symbol once across the middle I think that would have looked better but you know personal preference as for the system this is super nitpicky and minor but if we're gonna talk about negatives it's on the back side right here so the feed designs they always have the couple of rubber ones mixed in and normally while they are a different color than the other feet it's not that noticeable because it's usually pretty dull tones but with how vibrant this blue is you really notice the gray on the circular and X feet right here super nitpicky thing I know but yeah so other than just those two things though honestly this is an incredible looking system by the way guys I'm gonna be taking a lot of still shots of this thing to put on my Instagram so if you guys want to see more of it make sure to check that out now so you may be looking at this system the design on top with the square triangle X and circle a might be wondering why are those things that PlayStation uses well it's actually really interesting it was talked about back in 2010 in an interview with the guy that designed the original ps1 controller TEI you Guto i hope i pronounced that right and it's really interesting how this came to be so at the time when the ps1 was being designed the biggest competitors were Nintendo and Sega and for them their controllers all use the same kind of basic design of using just letters like a B X Y so and so forth and somebody's using colorful buttons as well they wanted to do something different to help differentiate their controller and so the idea was to use symbols instead that represented different things that might be used in game it's not always that actual direct comparison but that's the idea so for the triangle the ideas that associates with point of view the character's head what direction the cameras looking at that kind of idea with the square it's supposed to be a piece of paper or a menu something that brings up an option select for in-game menu stuff aside from traditional options the X and O are by far the simplest ones which are simply yes and no X being no cancel whatever circle being yes except so on so forth which is really funny because I always get confusing with American ports of games because X is always one for select so it gets really confusing sometimes and really fun fact about this to by the way is that the designer also picked what colors he wanted each one to be and apparently had arguments with other co-workers over the fact that he wanted the X which is decline to be blue and the circle which is accept to be red because everyone's like doesn't that make more sense feel around he's like no this is what we're doing this is what I want so that's how those symbols came to be and honestly I think they've been incorporated beautifully into the systems design I know I said earlier that when I first saw this thing I thought was like oh wow this is one of the best ps4 slims they've done and yeah I definitely still think that I mean they have some other ones that your mileage may vary where you might like a certain color more but as far as incorporating a great color choice with a cool design definitely best looking slim and probably the best-looking of all poise for designs even compared to pros I think maybe the God of War one gives it some competition but yeah this is definitely the best-looking one of my opinion these are showing up in stores right now it's really hard to do any kind of like online rugger ones because those went up earlier but you might have your luck in a store we'll put a link down below just forget to check out and I'll see you guys later
