Eurogamer: Leaked PS4 Slim is legit (bootup video)
- Thread starter Shiggy
- Start date
Because they figured at most they'd get a takedown request and it was worth the clicks?
The Xbox One S shows the new console after the initial update though.

Hmmm, Sony threaten legal action maybe?

Despite every complaint about the look of this, to be able to make a PS4 even slimmer than it already is, it's actually a great achievement in itself
That's true, but the Net Yaroze had the sublime classic PS logo and different colours
I still look at the Net Yaroze and think, Jesus that's beautiful.

Didn't the same thing happen with Gizmodo and a stolen iPhone?

Sure they did. Sure they didn't care. They got it out there and waited for the takedown request (not sure what legal basis there actually is to get them to take it down lol, but they don't want to make an enemy I guess).
Well played. Not a Eurogamer fan, but pleased they went through with it.
And now we know it's real, and real ugly.
You'd think these people would know better. It's not even out for official release yet.

Everyone involved in this has been really naive to be honest. I can't see any way they were obtained legally and that means the guy that bought it could be done for receiving stolen goods.
On another topic...what is the consensus on price? I'm thinking £199 given the 500GB Xbox One S with Fifa 17 is £250 and has 4K Bluray.
Nah Sony is fine with stuff like this they understand there jobs. Only UBI and Zenimax usually do blacklist.
probably got scolded.

I love that this was bought on Gumtree. I hope the guys that went to pick it up took security with them. You get all sorts of weirdos and scammers on there, hah.
I don't like the look of this slim one, prefer the OG. And that they removed some ports. Here's to hoping the Neo looks good.

If you shut it down by pressing down the power button, you didn't do it correctly.
Think along the lines of shutting down a PC. You have to do it via the menu, not the power button.
Sony blacklisted Kotaku before. Then they immediately backtracked on it when Kotaku called them out on it. I think it was the original PS3 price cut.

Everyone who watched this boot up is now a criminal and should hand themselves in.

why would they 'fix' a feature? ;P
I doubt they're in any real form of trouble. Reporting on a leak isn't illegal. They probably got a takedown request, and immediately complied. At worst I see them getting blacklisted by PR for a few months.
Now if they were like Gawker and refused, then the lawyers would be working on something that stings a bit more.
The people who are in real trouble though are the ones who let these slip out of the channel. That's gotta be locked down tight with NDAs.
That is not a very attractive console at all. Just looks a little too cheap for my liking. I can't believe they spaced the usb ports that far apart. They could have at least put one of the usb connections on the back. Plus I can't believe they got rid of the digital optical output on the back,

I bet Sony copyrighted the YT video through the YT system we all know and love.

Yes. My UK launch day 60gb PS3 lacked hardware emulation, but did have the SD, CF and Memory Stick card readers under the flap next to the disk slot. That was a nice feature that got ditched in favour of cost savings.
thank

I agree with you there. The engineers at Sony are wizards and I am sure having an integrated power supply and a smaller and more power efficient console is no small technical feat. I am merely speaking to what the visual appeal of the console is to me. It seems I am not alone in this thread in not being in love with it. I am sure there are others who do like it and that is fine too.

I don't see what's wrong with the design? Looks like the original PS4 but slimmer and rounded out.

It's not worse than the last PS3 revision, but it's the worst looking console released over the past 10 or so years other than that.

If the hideousness didn't seal the deal, this did.
My antivirus blocked an attack from that site you used. I am not accusing you of anything but I want to let people know if they are going to try to watch that video.

It's from moss side isn't it? Not too far from Manchester airport. Perhaps it fell off the back of a plane.
I thought the guy bought it from Bolton?
That whole Moss Side thing was a joke from last night but news sites have run with it.

Same here. I like the design.
Nice, thanks!
Edit: this re-upload works ( for the moment anyway ).

Only used that site because Dailymotion won't let me update my password. Based on Google Safe Browsing and AVG, the site is good to go though. Any suggestion for a different (and potentially more safe) video portal?

I wouldn't use SendVid, nor click this link. Pop-ups, fake virus warnings, etc.

My bad, saw moss side last time I checked. Bolton is a bit random though. Is there anything to do with Sony there?

I would imagine the Neo looks like a bigger version of this and this new slim redesign chassis is meant to match the neo design for that consistent image.
Other than YouTube and Dailymotion I am not too familiar with video upload sites. But thank you for checking the security data. Maybe someone just planted something in the ads because Norton definitely blocked an intrusion attempt when I hit play.
Another user just said the same as you. So I deleted the link. I have an ad blocker though, so perhaps that's why I didn't notice anything.
