PS4 slim leaked?

Not to say this is real, but people really don't think actual confidential documents have "Confidential" on them? Wow.

All joking aside, I work at an Army Depot and there have been tons of times that I've handled confidential documents have been labeled confidential (the type of documents you can't leave around and must send to the shredder boxes when finished). Sometimes even stamped confidential, like out of some cheesy TV detective show.

It's pretty funny actually. :p

But yes this is fake.
 
Don't believe this at all, not because of the size but because of the split between materials going from horizontal to vertical when the system is standing up. Doesn't make any sense and looks stupid.

I really can't tell who is or isn't joking about the confidential thing anymore. There are several reasons this could be called fake but that definitely isn't one of them.
 
Not really. A die shrink and half the memory chips couldn't account for this kind of size decrease.

No but it would be possible to manufacture as most of the ps4's size and weight comes from the fan, heatsink and power supply. If AMD could shrink the APU die size in half as well as the TDP then theoretically that would produce half the heat thus would make the heatsink and fan half the size, also if sony made the power supply external I think they could shrink the ps4 down to about the size of this "leaked model". That being said I still think this looks fake a fuck.

I'll say fake. It's too early in the game for a slim model. That being said its never too early for the XBO to get a slim version.

Doesn't make sense. The power supply, blu ray, cooling fan can't fit in there.
Unless it's something like another PS4 for another room in the household so you insert the disc in the small one but it uses the processing power of the main fat one. Feasible with mobile energy efficient components

Likely fake. I certainly hope so, at least, as side loading is a terrible idea. It wouldn't work at all in a normal entertainment setup unless you turned the system sideways.

yup...disk loading from the side annoyingly limits your options. no way this is real. if it is...it would be one of the rejected designs.
 
anyone know what that Sony book is in the third picture?

your describing Vita TV minus the disc drive :)
 
Well, the current PSU mostly fits within the footprint of the PS4 motherboard, so you don't really reclaim much space by removing it from the case.

You might save a little on thickness, but you still need a large enough fan and heatsink to actually cool everything.

I see.

Thanks for this.

Fake or one of many internal concepts for the inevitable PS4 Slim. But now? Too soon.

I really don't think this is too soon.

If they plan to release it sometime in the fall, that's about 2 years since the original launch. that's good enough.
 
For a moment, let's entertain the possibility that this is real. It looks too flimsy and likely to break at the slightest mishap. Sometimes, small just can't be the new big.
 
Isn't saying that something is subject to change without notice a way to cover your ass from angry customers?

I doubt it's something that has to be emphasized in an internal document for that small circle who would even be directly privy to a PS4 Slim in the first place.
 
I know nobody wants to be the gullible one if it turns out to be fake but it looks legit. PS4 tech is like 3 years old by now anyway.
 
Because confidential files are tagged with "confidential" word, as we all know from movies.

Actually that is exactly how it is done. Any file or document with a classification should be marked so it is handled correctly.

OT that is a good looking design, even if fake. To get it that small must mean external power brick. Would people be happy with an external brick to get a console that small and sleek?

I really wouldn't mind it.

Are there any pros to having an external brick outside besides reducing size?
 
Come to think of it, the pics don't really add up. The pic of it on it's up on its side comparing it to the current PS4 doesn't have any sort of slant to it. Even from that angle it would be noticeable.
