so how is its size compared to xbone, doesnt matter but just wondering because it looked shockingly small when it was being held.

I couldnt find a head-on shot of the Xbone (so it's a slightly different perspective), regardless you can take the front face comparison between the two. I tried to scale using the disc slot size;

Press pics are SEXY. I guess they scrapped the chrome and silver bits we saw in the teaser because it got too expensive? (Or saving it for a $499 premium SKU? *fingers crossed*)



EDIT:


Celebrating because the damn camera isn't included. Anyone want to serve some crow to those folks in the "I'm sure that disclaimer is only saying PSeye isn't included if you're buying the DS4 separately blah blah blah"

Any mention about the ability of upgrading the hard drive? 500 GB(according to the specs) is not that much.

Looking at the hardware itself, I can't say I see anywhere where I could switch it out. Maybe on the Bottom(very unlikely)?

PS4 looking real elegant, as though designed by an architect.. loving the subtlety of the buttons, everything is placed beautifully. It is a fitting progression.

Xbone looks like an Xbox 360 dressing up to look like a PS3..

I still wonder how they got this to be smaller than PS3 gen 1....

It looks like the runner up in an amateur design contest.

Some of the fan renders looked better than that.

I could argue but there is no point. It's subjective. Both Xboned and PS4 are visually pleasing except I find the latter more unique.

Also the best looking fan concept I've seen to date is one that looks like a western digital external HDD upscaled.

It is, and I think it's a lame design.

The fan render I liked had a wavy cutout above a central loading slot. I can't find a pic of it though. It also had a glossy surface and a big PS logo. There's another with a cutout above a disc slot at edge, but it's not the same one.

It looks like a video game console. You know, like a device that invites you to play games. Not quite normal, kinda goofy, but also cool, depending on who you ask. Xbone just looked like an appliance, straight up.

I will have mine sit vertically.
