There were rumours leading up to E3 that Sony were going to release a Gold version of the PS4 Slim. Then it was confirmed that both the gold variant and the silver variant of the console would be launching on June 28th, which is next Wednesday. Both will be available with 500GB hard drives as standard, while the 1TB option is limited to North America. The price for the console is £279.99.

I’m not sure I like either, although I would like a silver controller. Seems like silver is a bit out of fashion and gold is just yeuch, although some will use more eloquent adjectives like ‘gangsta’ and ‘bling!’. I imagine the meetings at Sony’s coloured plastic devision concluded the same.

It’s a bit of a premium to pay just for the colour.
I’m not sure what the retail price of the slim is but I’ve seen a white one for £200.
And why is the 1TB limited to North America?
JR.
Didn’t they release a solid gold PS4 a while back?
I guess technically this is Fauxld, not Gold.
I wonder if they’ll release Rose Gold and Jet Black models next year.
