The all-matte looks way better than the glossy HDD cover from before, IMHO.

Man I really hope this comes to NA in a standalone deal, or maybe bundled (in volume) with a game or two like they've done with the TLOU bundle. Really want one of these. The Destiny bundle doesn't seem to be so cheaply available anymore when new, and I'd prefer buying new for warranty etc.
It's not pointless for Sony lol
The manufacturers regularly revise the hardware, we just didn't typically hear about it unless there were obvious physical differences. In this era though, people constantly look to the FCC, etc for fillings. Also the second an actual number changes on the back of console, the world hears about it.
Because it's not a major redesign probably.
And they can benefit from selling cheaper to make systems for more until they do announce a price drop.
Since the price drop comes later this year but the manufacturing is ready in the meantime they keep the margin for themselves and maximize profits.

Will this stop auto ejecting my discs?
Ive had to go all digital, because my PS4 refuses to keep discs inside.

4k capability doesn't mean shit as such.
Launch PS4s are already able to display some content in 2160p.

Changes to actual performance don't happen mid-gen. Also, 4k in which capacity?

Because Sony wants to maximize profit margins before finally making the price drop.

2160p30 is already supported via the PlayMemories app.
2160p60 support is unknown.
Morpheus supports at least 1080p120 + a second, unique TV picture of unknown resolution.
Power consumption improvements + weight are probably from this -

I must be the only person that likes shiny consoles
I don't care either way. I just don't get why they constantly flip flop between matte and glossy so much, except maybe just for variety.
Did you look at the OP at all?

Be interested more if the fan noise had changed when at full speed - playing the witcher 3 in places is a real pain with the fan blowing away in the background
Parts are already cheap.
Waiting for a teardown to see if Sony changed out the blower fan.
That's not true. Changes in performance for current gen games don't change, but everything else is wide open. We've seen I/O change forever, and since last gen, stuff like HDD size, etc (remember when MS actually gimped the OS to not recognize the extra space for newer HDD's in the original XBox? lol. Those days are over).
Last gen we saw the PS3 remove PS2 hardware, remove SACD playback etc. While that makes it seem like we'd only lose things, I don't think that's the case. It's more about costs. For example, even if the PS3 HDMI wasn't programmable enough to support 3D BluRay, it would have hit in med-gen consoles (though likely not for games). Why? Sony had a hardon for 3D, and literally it would have came free since that's what HDMI Tx parts would be available. It would actually cost more to purposely not have it at a certain point. Updating the playback software is trivial.
In the case of 4K, at some point HDMI 2.0 / HDCP 2.2 Tx parts will simply be the norm. Granted this may be a bit of a longer transition, but there will come a point where it's the same price. So there will be no reason to not support UHD BD.
That all said, I doubt we are at that point so I wouldn't expect it in this revision. However I do fully expect we will get it at some point this gen.
But this makes it cheaper. Otherwise there would be no reason for the revision unless there's some major issue with the original we aren't aware of. Of course shipping weight is also a factor.

The long LED light strip on the console will be shorter.
Good idea. My launch ps4 broke some time ago after making loud noises.
My guess is a more efficient circuit design along with thinner plastics.
I would never put a blower fan in a PC. In fact, if I saw a graphics card that has a blower fan, I'd suggest the user to buy a different brand or if the user doesn't care about warranty, then put an aftermarket fan.
Definitely the bottom of the barrel in terms of cooling.
The 10% lighter figure would make it cheaper shipping for Sony already. It will provide a slightly bigger profit margin on the consoles and considering the amount they'll ship it's worth the minor redesign. This isn't an actual redesign they'll advertise like they would a PS4 Slim or a 1TB PS4.
It should be apparent on the box since the HDD cover will be matte finish now. If not, you can check on the back of the box.
oh ok..
They both look kinda similar length to me..
They always make it look better in the promo artwork. It never glows blue during actual usage either.

That's a welcome chang3
The bump in power efficiency means at least some redesign occurred. Minor or not.

Probably the bulb inside was replaced with a smaller one.
You won't notice it from the outside.
Really disappointing that Sony didn't improve the HDD size.
But I actually like that they did away with the glossy finish. Matte is cheaper, but I'll take cheap instead of scratches everywhere.
What is funny, is that Microsoft did exactly the same with their recently announced 1TB XBO.

Dude I have already replaced my thumbsticks with Xbox One because I like the height of them. I'm trying to replace my 3d analog sensor but I can't seem to completely remove the old solder from the grounding points on the PCB.
Off topic: Does anyone know what type of solder they used on the PCB?
there solder with lead like 60/40, 90/10, and 80/20.
With a 60W desoldering iron. I even added some flux to help it flow better but still nada. I mean the solder is melting but there small remnants that are preventing me from removing the sensor.

There should be more tampons in gaming
Awww damn, that matte finish is so good. I hate the shiny part on the PS4. It shows dust, fingerprints and scratches so readily but I'm glad that Sony is pushing out more colors. Hopefully in the future Sony will have an even larger variety of colors.

Yeah, and I even knew the answer to my own question before I posted it. I was just lonely.
