Home Gaming PS4 Review – Worth all the dough

PS4 Review – Worth all the dough

2 min read

In an attempt to get all the local hits, I recently imported a PS4 console for review because we couldn’t wait to get a pizza the action.  I was expecting something less tasty.

Design

IMG_3943

It’s made from environmentally friendly cardboard, so points to Sony for that one. Feels kind of frail though, and the hood opens up way too easily. Plus, it’s rather large, and it oozes some sort of lubricant grease when I leave it upright.

Hardware

IMG_3946

I’m no hardware expert, but I think the mozzarella cheese core helps power the dual-threaded bacon and 8GB of HAM in order to provide tera-pepperoni power to the games, or something. It’s also equipped with a 500 feta-bites HDD. You might want install your own, larger one though, because once you factor in the OS and game installs, there’s not mushroom on there. We’ve heard there’s an overheating issue resulting from the use of cheap thermal compound, but we’ve had a look, and they’re using top-grade tasty tomato paste.

And all that talk of it wobbling? With wheat, bread, dairy, meat and vegetables, I found the PS4 to be pretty well balanced.

Controller

IMG_3950

The slice-shaped controller is remarkably comfortable actually, and soft to the touch. As an added bonus, I don’t have to worry about getting the controller greasy, because it does that naturally on its own, Thankfully it is precise. When it comes to gaming, there’s no margarine for error. Triggers are a little squishy though, you ask me.

Social Features

IMG_3952

It’s great for sharing.

Inputs

IMG_3947

Where the hell do I put the HDMI in? And why did I have to supply my own damn one?

Games

IMG_3949

I honestly have no idea where the disc drive is? Is it here? Honestly the launch line-up is terrible, so there’s nothing to play anyway. I’ve also struggled to get it to connect to my router, so unfortunately I can’t play any of those downloadable games either. Not that we’d be able to review them all anyway; we’ve just not had the thyme.

Longevity

IMG_3943

I’m down to three slices of Pizza Station 4 already, from a morning total of 8, and I just don’t see this making it to dinner.

Final Review Score

IMG_3944

The PS4 has delivered a delicious 7.5 slices out of ten, and worth the asking price, no matter how you slice it.  You have to ask if you really knead it; so don’t go bacon the bank if you don’t need to, considering yesterday’s leftovers are still fine.

            To give you some advice here, and it’s because I come from Cape Town and have to stab people quite often, you don’t want any backward facing edges on your blade. It gets stuck in the ribs and impossible to get out. Also that point is way too thin you are going to break that on the first bone you hit and finally it is double edged which is really a double edged sword so to speak.

    This made me lol. You forgot to mention that the components are locally sourced & manufacturing is done by specially trained staff, showing Sony’s commitment to the South African market. Also the PS4 is biodegradable, thus good for the environment by reducing waste from electronic equipment.
