While the rumors of Sony developing of a new PlayStation to be released in 2020 are quite exciting, we know it will take a while to have a library of worthwhile games. In the meantime, the 1TB Sony PlayStation 4 Slim Gaming Console is still our platform of choice to enjoy some of the best video games today. Get this premium gaming system at a discounted price of $250 on Walmart today.

Save $50 on the 1TB Sony PlayStation 4 Slim when you order from Walmart today. This price cut on the usually $300 gaming console goes well with the best 4K TV deals for August. Use this opportunity to start your gaming setup at home without breaking the bank.

In our comparison of the Sony PlayStation 4 Slim and the larger 2013 PlayStation 4, we found that design is pretty much the difference between the two models. The only hardware that got removed in the shrinking of the console is the optical audio port. Its DualShock 4 controller also got a minor redesign that makes it easier to see and appreciate subtle color changes on the light bar.

Even though the Sony PlayStation 4 Slim is a smaller gaming console compared to the original PS4, it still has the same power. Players switching from the 2013 model over to 2016 version will not see any technical or visual enhancements to their games since both consoles run games with the same proficiency. However, both models lack the 4K content and other special features of the more powerful PS4 Pro.

Having the 1TB PlayStation 4 Slim lets you enjoy titles exclusive to this Sony gaming console, including Marvel’s Spider-Man, God of War, and Bloodborne. You also have access to third-party releases. Check out our list of the best PS4 games if you need suggestions on which ones are worth playing.

Pay only $250 instead of $300 when you purchase the 1TB Sony PlayStation 4 Slim Gaming Console from Walmart today. You can even apply for an Affirm loan for easy monthly payments of $25. Hurry and place your order now.

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

Best PS Plus deals

While the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 are excellent consoles, especially for those who don't want to invest in a gaming PC, you tend to lose out on a lot if you don't have one of Sony's online subscriptions. You see, a PlayStation Plus (PS Plus) subscription offers, is access to online multiplayer, and without it, you can't connect to online servers and play with other folks, which is a bit frustrating. Luckily, a PS Plus membership does offer some additional features, such as free games every month and access to some older PS games, all of which depend on which of the three tiers you subscribe to: Essential, Extra, and Premium.
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.

After that, these titles are yours to keep so long as you have an active PlayStation Plus subscription. The free-to-download games are generally pretty good (they are often some of the best PS4 games that have been out for a little while), and these alone justify the cost of PS Plus even for people who don't do a lot of online gaming.

Walmart continues its reign of great TV deals with the option to buy an Onn. 75-inch Frameless 4K TV for just $448.

Why you should buy the Onn. 75-inch Frameless 4K TV
Onn. is nowhere to be seen in our look at the best TV brands but it’s still pretty respectable for anyone seeking a budget-priced TV.
