16 reasons why now is the perfect time to buy a PlayStation 4

The PlayStation 4 is a fantastic video game console.

Maybe you already have one? Over 60 million people already do, and that's because it's a great system: It's fast and easy to use, it's got great games, and it does lots of cool stuff!

Maybe you're not convinced? That's possible: $299 is a lot of money to drop. But that price includes more than the console — you'll also get a great game like "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End."

In case that doesn't push you over the edge, here are 16 great reasons to pick up a PlayStation 4 right now.

1. It's less expensive than ever.

This is the number one reason to buy a PlayStation 4: It's a shockingly affordable console at this point. Since coming out at $400 in 2013, the console has dropped in price steadily over the years — you're now looking at $250 for a brand new PlayStation 4, and there are plenty of deals where you can get one with a game for an even better price.

As the holiday season ramps up, expect a mess of these types of bundles. But also let's not kid ourselves: at $250 for the PS4, you don't have to wait for a deal. 



2. PlayStation Plus continues to be the best deal in gaming.

Do you like awesome games? Sure you do! That's why you're considering buying a PlayStation 4 in the first place! How about awesome, free games? Because that's exactly what you'll get every month with a subscription to Sony's PlayStation Plus service.

It enables online play, sure, but more importantly you get free games every single month through the program. You keep the games for as long as you stay subscribed. The service literally pays for itself in two months. It is the biggest no-brainer of all no-brainers.

This should be your first purchase after buying the PlayStation 4 itself.



3. "Bloodborne."

Listen, "Bloodborne" is not for the faint of heart. You see that monster up top? That's not concept art. You're the comparatively diminutive hunter in the foreground in this equation, and that giant monster is surprisingly fast. Do the math.

"Bloodborne" is gorgeous/gruesome, tremendously challenging, and easily one of the best games on PlayStation 4. Oh, and to be clear: You can only play "Bloodborne" on the PlayStation 4. Here's a review-y thing my colleague Dave Smith wrote about the game — it goes into far more depth on why "Bloodborne" is so fantastic.
