As I said in the duplicate thread, why do I bother buying consoles when they first release?
Wonder when a legit PS4 Lite will be released.

Is this really that much of an upgrade your that concerned about?

 

[barit]

This thing needs more USB ports desperately. Do you hear me Sony? Keyboard, Headset, Controller, USB stick and external HDD fighting at these two little USB ports is pretty bad!

 

[Shin-Ra]

Could be 8x 1GB GDDR5 memory chips and a smaller PSU.

 

[A_Gorilla]

As I said in the duplicate thread, why do I bother buying consoles when they first release?

Because my '07 PS3 can still play PS2 and PS1 games.

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

So both XB1 and PS4 go full matte? wonder will WiiU ever follow.

 

[JohnSpartanLee]

All matte makes it look cheaper in my opinion.

 

[ElTorro]

Could be 8x 1GB GDDR5 memory chips and a smaller PSU.

Good guess.

In this day and age, I don't see it. Actually I see them cutting a USB port along the way.

Hubs work, right?

 

[Arzehn]

The real question is if it's quieter, or just easier to get a quieter one.

 

[Skux]

Early adopters rewarded with luxe piano black glossy goodness.

Probably the best I've seen. Every other 'integrated into the design' hub sticks out at the bottom.

 

[Hubble]

The PS4 slim is going to be crazy.

 

[NotLiquid]

Assuming you're making most of your game purchases physically, how necessary is it to get a bigger PS4 drive?

 

[vicissitudes]

This is like the FFVII for PS4 announcement last year.

Come on Sony you know what we really want.

 

[John Bender]

HDD cover is same matte finish as the rest of the body

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
Have to buy this one

 

[longdi]

Also, 10% lighter? This thing barely weighs now.
I could hit a cat with the new lighter PS4 and it would do nothing to it...joking

Will be legit shock, when we get a slim version.

Probably smaller heat sink parts and thinner plastics used.
The APU is not getting a die shrink as yet.
Just like non-die shrink revisions of past, this will be a cost cutting downgrade.
First hardware release are usually built with tanks to walls parts.

You will need to wait for the 'slim' version to enjoy realistic changes (though Sony still may or may not be downgrade the parts used)

 

[Zalman]

Good thing this is out in Japan this month. I'm planning to buy a PS4 soon, but I'll wait for some comparisons to decide which model I want.

 

[Shin-Ra]

The PS4 slim is going to be crazy.

They should make it modular, with an upgradable Ultra HD Blu-ray drive.

 

[Elixist]

Assuming you're making most of your game purchases physically, how necessary is it to get a bigger PS4 drive?

i believe u have to install all games, but the process is quick. with alot of big games coming in at 40-50 gb you do the math

 

[ElTorro]

Assuming you're making most of your game purchases physically, how necessary is it to get a bigger PS4 drive?

I upgraded to 1TB quite early. It depends on how many games you buy, obviously, but 500GB is not much, given that games usually need 25-50GB.

 

[big_z]

Hope it isn't as loud as the launch one.

itll take a redesign before the system is quiet. these small redesigns are for cost savings.

 

[Hydrargyrus]

8% less power consumption and the mate finish are well received, but I think I'll wait to the slim version for my second PS4

 

[Shin-Ra]

Assuming you're making most of your game purchases physically, how necessary is it to get a bigger PS4 drive?

500GB's plenty for a dozen or so games and reinstalling from Blu-ray's really quick.

 

[John Bender]

new PS4 model CUH-1200 announced. It will be shipping end of June in Japan and rest of the world later.

Ready for the "Paris Games Week" event, just in time to announce the official PS4 price drop ;-)

 

[Bitch Pudding]

The main question is: Will it be less noisy.

 

[bombshell]

Any word on a tweaked Dualshock 4 with sticks that don't peel and triggers that don't stick?

I had my first DS4 replaced within warranty in December and the sticks are still in mint condition.

 

[Hoo-doo]

GAF faceplate swap thread is go! I would love a matte one, I have a pristine glossy one up for trade.

 

[unapersson]

This, would love to buy a matte HDD cover, gotta wait for ebay to put some :/

You'll be able to trade it in at bitemyshinyplasticass.com.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

itll take a redesign before the system is quiet. these small redesigns are for cost savings.

If it's really 10% lighter (that's a lot!), then they surely redesigned some internal parts, maybe the fan itself.

 

[klee123]

I can't believe they're still this cheap with the USB ports. At least one extra in the back would be nice.

 

[Slowdive]

The matte HDD cover is nice. Wish it was like that originally.

 

[kurahador]

Still 500GB? Come on Sony.

 

[Skux]

As I said in the duplicate thread, why do I bother buying consoles when they first release?

You could always just change the faceplate.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Will get white matte

Holy fuck I can't believe I'm upgrading a console because it's a different color and not glossy

 

[TBiddy]

That white version is sexy!

 

[ocean]

Assuming you're making most of your game purchases physically, how necessary is it to get a bigger PS4 drive?

Disc based games are installed to the hard drive anyways, the disc is only there for license verification. PS4 games run between 20GB (Destiny) to over 50GB (GTA V).

Sprinkle in some apps (YouTube, Spotify), the OS, captured photos and videos, game saves and PSN downloads I wager the stock HDD should fit you around a dozen games.

 

[Prine]

I have no intention of buying one until uc4 is released but happy to see some improvements, hope by that time a slim version is released.

 

[crinale]

Glossy finished surface does look nice, only if you clean it very frequently

 

[Rock Howard]

if it´s less noisy, i´m gonna buy a white one

 

[Caayn]

8% less power consumption compared to previous model

So it should run cooler and quieter as well? Unless they decreased the cooling block's size.

Still only 500GB is a bit disappointing though.

Any word on a tweaked Dualshock 4 with sticks that don't peel and triggers that don't stick?

Screw that. Give me a DS4 without the LED.

 

[crinale]

HDD cover aside, I think Sony reduced BOM a little for new PS4. I kept saying they won't cut the retail price until they lower BOM, to keep it profitable

 

[blastprocessor]

I hope Sony will release a 4K BluRay model with HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2 then l will replace my old PS4.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Matte finish?

Looks like I'll be replacing both my PS4 and Xbox One then. Need dat matte

 

[Shin-Ra]

I hope Sony will release a 4K BluRay model with HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2 then l will replace my old PS4.

In like Flynn.

 

[nelchaar]

Did no one make a thread about the 1TB version? http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2015...id=612878123126763521&adbpl=tw&adbpr=36969785

 

[GasProblem]

Find it kind of weird they announce a new model with 500 gb, and an old model with 1TB on the same day. Why is the 1TB version still the old model?

I don't think I'd need 1TB. Hoping to get a PS4 at the end of the year. I like the matte finish.

 

[eFKac]

Ohhh matte HDD cover?

I have to admit that the glossy one looks nicer but the almost permanent fingerprints and hairline scratches from even the softest cloth are such a pain in the ass...

 

[Se7enSword]

Will it finally have the ultimate stability update?

lol

Weird they didn't go for the 1 TB.

Yeah, remaining at 500 GB is dumb. I was hoping for 1TB, guess i'll keep on waiting.

 

[Alchemy]

Wonder where they're getting the power savings from.

 

[Maximo]

Still not enough to make me buy a PS4, will wait another year or two.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Is that the new model or the old one?
