Is it a Good Time To Buy a PS4

[Sayers122]

Hi, Arnab here from India and my question is about the PS4 system. I am actually a PC Gamer and was thinking of making a custom gaming pc,but my budget is quite low which is Rs.40,000 i,e like $598.
So, i thought that it should be better if i buy a PS4 which is priced at 32,000 for the 1tb and 27,000 for the 500gb..
But, the new PS4 Slim is already out in many countries, i am not sure that if it has been launched in India yet but my questions are:-

i) Will the PS4 Slim edition replace the Original PS4??
ii) Will it be cheaper than the original one?? or will it fit my budget of Rs 35,000??
iii) Will it support the old PS4 games like GTA 5,WWE2K16,CODBO3??
iv) And most importantly will it support a SD TV?? Well i know it won't but can i use the HDMI TO RCA converter and use my standard definition TV as a display??because my parents won't allow me to connect it with the new HD TV.

So, guys please help me out.Any help will be reaally appreciated..
Greetings From India.. 😀

You might want to wait for the PS4 Pro to launch. How many games do you plan on playing each year? If it's a lot of games then PC would be a better option.

I don't have a 4K TV so i am not buying the PS4 Pro. and i don't play a lot of games, for example i am thinking of buying GTA 5 and WWE2K17 with the PS4 and then after a few months i will move on to COD games, I hope they aren't a lot of games... 😛
So, i am a bit confused with the original PS4 and the PS4 Slim edition.
Which one should i buy??? Any Ideas??? And will the PS4 Slim edition be a bit cheaper than the original one??
Thanks

PS4 Pro isn't confirmed to be 4K only console. Devs can use the additional processing power for improving graphics quality rather than just upping the resolution(and that too not native 4K but checker-board rendering). Since you play only few games console would be best for you over PC. PS4 Slim is just a version to reduce their manufacturing costs. You could buy original PS4 or Slim version whichever is cheaper.

You should buy the Ps4 when Red Dead Redemption 2 is released
