Internal Sony memo every gen:
1. Make it smaller
2. Make it cheaper
3. Maker it uglier
The symmetry-loving part of my brain is looking at the thinner top half and not knowing how to feel about this. Lol.
RIP LED strips
Where is #teamfake at right now? LOL at these internet people.
Probably because the Mobo is flipped upside down.
Haha nice! It's just a guess because the bottom half is bigger than the top. That'd mean the fan would be flipped upside etc. I could be right off the mark. Also the ventilation is now on the bottom right of the console isn't it?So it will sound like a jet landing, rather than a jet taking off?
Seriously, how do you know this, has it been torn down already? Did the seller get another consignment yet?
Wow Sony are gonna be pissed
I thought both Xbox One and PS4 looked like shit.
The slim version of both looks much better IMO.
Do you think they'll focus on Neo revisions from now on? If they can cut costs on both I feel like we will get a 3rd OG revision as well as a slim Neo in a few years. I expect PS5 to be out before we see a Neo slim though.
Doesn't have a UHD drive.. Which truly baffles me even more. Its like this was an after thought, and they focussed on the NEO instead.Ugly design but whatever.
Imagine it'll have to have a UHD drive in it at least
People are stubborn and like cheaper options. I don't think the OG will be phased out at all. It'd fly in the face of what they are aiming for and telling consumers with the whole "forwards compatibility" thing.Of course since 4K is getting more common each year Sony will definitely push it with Neo revision and phase out the OG/Slim completely eventually.
I want to know if it's quiet or a jet engine.
It's a cheaper to make replacement for existing hardware. Why does this keep getting lost over and over?Doesn't have a UHD drive.. Which truly baffles me even more. Its like this was an after thought, and they focussed on the NEO instead.
The S is a new piece of hardware in ADDITION to what MS already offers. This isn't that. It's a replacement.
Probably because the Mobo is flipped upside down. The only way it'll get slimmer is if the add an external power brick or take out the disk drive and have a download only revision.
HDMI already connected to my PC (5.1 system). Having trouble with the HDMI ARC working with PS4, but if I can get ARC to work with it, I won't need the optical cable.TVs usually come with HDMI ports that you can plug your sound system into.
Ew I wouldn't even want to imagine a top loading PS4. Not after the travesty that was the super slim.Toploader, external power brick, & flash storage and it could look the size it does on the boxart. Maybe in 3 years then.
You know... Maybe this isn't even 16nm? As you say it's mobo is flipped, and it originally had ram chips on both sides of it.
I'm late to the thread but why are the USB ports so spaced out?
Haha all these people knowing what Moss Side is...Buyer bought it some weed while he was over Moss side picking it up.

Apparently it's all about the Stardog haze these days.it wouldn't even turn on if it was Moss side dank sweaty kush. Be asleep.

I'm guessing the Mobo has been flipped. It'd make sense in order to shave off the top.
As for 16nm, I guess they went with it due to OG'S having the loudness problem.

Lots of people didn't like the OG when it came out either but they warmed up to it. Same with the PS3, now mostly everyone likes the phat model design better when it was hated at first.It's ugly and that's why I was hoping it was fake. If Sony wasn't coming out with a Neo, there's no way I'd trade my current Ps4 for that. Really don't like the design.
No it's not? They aren't making fat Xbox Ones any more.

The difference is the S is the new full priced box, with added features to justify maintaining that same price. The PS4 slim is the same standard PS4 but cheaper, and the Neo is that new fancy box.
The idea of the PS4 slim has been standard operating procedure since like the SNES days at least? But for some reason the S has made everyone forget.

I mean, for one, it remains to be seen what the PS4 slim's price is, and two, the Xbox One S is only "full price" because the fat Xbox One got price drops leading up to the S's announcement.
I would agree that the One S is "let's make an improved Xbox One" and the PS4 slim seems to be "let's make a budget PS4", though.

Cute, but the two are obviously competing with each other and adjust based on what the other is doing.
Haha all these people knowing what Moss Side is...
#teamreal
Sony has always made smaller and cheaper systems for their revisions. The original always has the bells and whistles and things get dropped and get cheaper as the years go on.
I don't know why people were expecting a better looking PS4 than the original with this one.
Xbox One S is an anomaly because Microsoft got the Surface Pro team to re-design the system and it IS an improvement over the original design. Sony doesn't do that. You aren't meant to upgrade your PS4 to this one. This one is for new owners.
It looks... Oke
The real question is: What does NEO look like ?
