The point of a slim is to make it cheaper, so they use cheaper materials and build it in the cheapest way possible.
And the looks are the least important thing about a console.

Look at the side shot, looks like it has a panel to get to the HDD to me.

No one cares enough about Nintendo consoles to steal one, apparently.

This has me excited about Neo. Really can't wait to see it leaks like this one, but I doubt it.
Agree to disagree. I hope people realize that the main reason why 4K wasn't a massive deal last Holiday is because most UHD releases were delayed until 2016. I don't even think the Samsung UHD player was for sale at the time. If it was it was sold out a lot. There are going to be a ton of additional UHD movies coming out this fall to go along with the ones already released this year.
4K TV's are going to be the #1 ticket item this holiday, book it.

Strange thing is the model number on the box. It says
PS4 CUH-2016A
When typing it in Google I only get a removed Marktplaats advert from someone in The Netherlands: a PS4 with UC4 and the Division for 325 euro.

It's ok...The S looks so much better though.

I am sure it's a controlled leak.

There's a panel on the side which looks like access to the HDD bay.

If this is true sorry for blasting you/Polygon on this. Considering we watched it break in real time with a GAFer who individually baited the seller for those screenshots (he said he was coming to buy) it's not hard to see the connections we all made once Polygon posted the article and then IGN sourced the pics to them.
Yeah that's what I meant. Shame really as everyone loves light up logos.
PS3 always looked like a horrible grill.
I think PS3 Slim, PS2 Slim and PS4 are the best looking consoles Sony has developed.

Pretty sure. I googled the manual for my TV on my phone (LG 42LD650,) and it says that it can output 5.1 sound via optical (no 7.1, though...). I don't use optical speakers, though.

This thread is like an explosion. Anyways, it's definitely real and I think it looks great. Much better looking than the fat PS4. Hopefully this revision doesn't sound like a jet engine like the og ps4, also hope the controller isn't a piece of shit. If this isn't a neo, and the neo comes a month or two later then I expect a $250 price for this.
Completely agree. The ps3 slim looked way better than than the og ps3. The ps3 super slim though, that was crap.

So nothing happened to this scammer? Lol.
people spending money on 4K TVs will also likely get the Neo instead of One S or Slim.
And besides, Slim at $299 is $50 drop for best selling system currently. It is going to sell even better.
but they dont need to bring it to market before christmas this year, they got the slim now.

Looks nice. I hope the Neo has the same redesign.
I think he did actually ;PI am sure it's a controlled leak.

Guys it's not ugly, if anything just an uninspiring design.... relax. Also, this thing is not that much smaller than the current ps4.

Sorry for jumping conclusions.
Just assuming from the images we have seen the slot seems to be for the Hard Drive, as that is something they would obviously still want to be removable.Yeah, but not good enough, I want to see the full size, and maybe if that slot is removable

10/10
But if they are getting a 4K TV in November and don't want to wait until March to play UHD disks, they will be buying another player.

Called it.
And I'm liking SIE's newfound love for the shapes. First the screw, then the feet!

Looks like the air intakes go all the way around now or exhaust is hidden as well.
HDD cover is at the back.

Hmmm, the PS logo is sideways so there might be a stand available for this slim as well.

It better have those adorable PS logo feet.
One of the things I loved most about opening up the PS4 hard drive bay to replace the drive was the PS logo screws.
Neo isn't coming out in March though.

Not ugly, the super slim is but the original PS3 Slim is a lovely design.

streamers making videos, outlets putting out write-ups super-quick... really goes to show how much of a juggernaut PS4 is. I mean all this for a slimmer PS4 redesign... ¯\_(ツ

you want some flames painted on it to make it run faster?
This was all in context of the rumors from a few pages about about it being pushed to March.

Cerny scares me. Its something about his eyes...
Neo is confirmed to be launching on March 2017?

Just imagine when Neo is revealed.
Probably a typo. A lot of people wrote 2016 instead of 1216 for some reason.
Yeah, I got my bearings wrong with the second low-light picture of the PS4 slim. My mistake.
It looks like they've retained the design of the original PS4 of having three points of contact rather than four.
HDD cover is at the back.
EDIT:
That's if I'm reading the height of those feet correctly with the circle on this side and the two far corner symbols being taller.
To be fair nobody knows for sure. Wait for the event on the 7th.
the closer you are to the launch of Scorpio, the easier it is for MS to make a big deal about how they have a significantly more powerful console coming in just a few months...
