The PlayStation 4 is due to hit store shelves on Friday November 15, 2013, but we got our hands on one early. Keep an eye out for our review on Wednesday November 13, where we take a close look at everything from the hardware to the UI to the aesthetics of the case. We’ll break down the system and test it out, but if you have a specific question regarding the PS4, let us know now.

If it is within our power, we’ll test it out for you and report our findings. Curious if a certain website will run in the PS4 browser? Want to know how much it weighs? Wondering if it has a power brick on the AC cord? We may already plan to answer many of your questions, but feel free to ask, we are at your disposal.

Just don’t ask us to test how far of a drop it can survive, or if it can operate while underwater. That would just be mean.

So sound off in the comments below and keep an eye out for our review.

Best PlayStation deals: PS5, controllers, headsets on sale

PS5 and DualSense art.

The newest generation of consoles has been going through a bit of a change recently, with them now having both a digital-only option and a physical disc option, and the Sony PlayStation 5 is no different. In fact, we've even seen two new versions, the Slim and the Pro, further making things a little bit more complicated. Because of that, there aren't a ton of great deals on PS5 consoles right now, since the market is still settling, but we have found a few great renewed offers that are worth looking at.

That said, if the options below don't quite do it for you, be sure to check out these gaming console deals instead, and if you already have a PS5, then do check out these PS5 game deals to help buff up your library.

PS6: everything we know about the PlayStation 6 so far

It sounds like we're going to learn more about a next-generation PlayStation sooner rather than later.

In early 2024, Sony Senior Vice President Naomi Matsuoka told Bloomberg the following: "Looking ahead, PS5 will enter the latter stage of its life cycle." While she didn't outright say that a PlayStation 6 is in the works, we can assume that the company is already looking ahead at its next console.

Best PlayStation Plus Deals: Save on Essential, Plus and Premium

Best PS Plus deals

Consoles are great for those who don't necessarily want to spend the large amount of money that you'd need with something like a gaming PC. That said, gaming on the PlayStation 4 or the PlayStation 5, almost certainly require a PlayStation Plus subscription service from Sony directly. That allows you to play multiplayer games and access online servers and, depending on your subscription, also gives you access to a library of free games every month, so you don't have to spend your money on extra games except for titles that don't appear on PS Plus on release.

Also, while you're here, be sure to check out these excellent PS5 game deals and PlayStation deals that include some great games and accessories you can get for a great price.
What is PlayStation Plus?
Along with online multiplayer and other in-game network features, a PlayStation Plus Essential membership grants you access to exclusive discounts and other promotions. Perhaps the most notable benefit of PlayStation Plus is that every month, Sony gives subscribers one PlayStation 5 and two PlayStation 4 games that are free to download. You have one month to add these free PlayStation Plus games to your library.
