for comparison the Xbone Box:

 

[GalacticMouse]

Love it. The blue is great, nothing's too over-stated. Sleek packaging.

EDIT: I actually like MS's box a lot better. It would've been cool if Sony had used that glossy flat/shiny black transition with a blue trim line in-between them to mimic the top of the console.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Meh. Doesn't scream "next-gen!" to me.

 

[Brokun]

Has anyone seen where the disc goes? There's no front slot... at all.

 

[BigJonsson]

Needs a racing stripe and speed holes

Has anyone seen where the disc goes? There's no front slot... at all.

Yes there is, look closely

I think its a top loader. Thats why we can't see it.

 

[Forbiden]

Must it? I don't see anything wrong with the box art. In fact, on the contrary, it somehow reminds me of the PS2, which is, rather simplistic.

It's front loading. You can see where the disc goes in the official Sony images. It's on the left side of the console when looking at it horizontally.

Brings a tear to my eye

The disc slot is to the left of the usb slots. It's not noticeable but it's there.

 

[RoKKeR]

Clean, blue, I like it.

 

[Veronica]

I'll be honest, as a fan of Microsoft, I am sort of mad at how perfect Sny is doing everything lol. They are really on a roll.

 

[jonabbey]

The slot is on the left side, sunk into the horizontal division, just to the left of the power button on top and the eject button on bottom.

 

[Oppo]

No it's a slot loader. It's in the narrower part between the two "slabs".

I think it really is trying to be evocative of the slim PS2. i don't mind that at all

Look closer...

 

[Ikuu]

Not great, but it's a box so it doesn't matter.

 

[trmas]

Beautiful. Love the blue as opposed to that neon green color

 

[seb]

It's perfect and it shall be mine. So relieved that there's still a console for me on the market MS had me worried for a while.

 

[ascii42]

Meh. Doesn't scream "next-gen!" to me.

What should a box do to scream next-gen?

 

[imBask]

Wonder if the blue light will be customizable to match the color you picked for your controller...

 

[Guevara]

That's my least favorite angle of the console but otherwise good, not great.

 

[eliochip]

Reminds me of the PS2 in so many ways

 

[Creaking]

You can see it well right here.

 

[rikichi]

simple and elegant.

 

[Servbot24]

Meh. Doesn't scream "next-gen!" to me.

Joke post?

Box looks fine to me.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Beautiful.

 

[H_Prestige]

Why can't they make it like this anymore? If you're going to charge $400 for something, make it look it's $400.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Sexy and simple.

I prefer the Xbox One console design and box, but Sony did good as well.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Sort of brings back memories of the PS2, that's good.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

That's a tacky box.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Ink costs?

 

[i-Lo]

Classy. Not generic.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Looks as impersonal as a Samsung Galaxy S ad. Boring.

 

[Revoh]

I like it

 

[Kikarian]

Simple and I like the blue light. Nice.

 

[Baller. PhD]

dem PS2 feels.

All up in my rectum, Sony.

 

[Uno Venova]

Xbone box is much better to me. This is alright.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Why can't they make it like this anymore? If you're going to charge $400 for something, make it look it's $400.

True enough. Adjusted for inflation the PS2 release price would be about $400 too.

 

[CouchMaster]

The blue LED glowing across its centre looks fantastic

 

[King C]

Love the blue their going with.

 

[WORLDWIDEWII]

it saids Black* next to 500GB.. so white version is coming soon?

 

[Cromat]

Should have gone with an updated version of this. So classy.

 

[Red Chocobo]

Minimal without looking pretentious. Nice.

 

[Jinfash]

Bad juju.

 

[NAPK1NS]

So much PS2 vibes. I'm trembling.

 

[Zomba13]

Still don't like the look of the pad. Looks like it was pieced together/a prototype. Like it's almost at the final design but not quite.
I'm sure it'll feel fine though, just doesn't look too nice visually.

 

[DietRob]

Reminds me a bit of the PS2 box. I like.

 

[Windforce]

I love it how everything of this console reminds me of PS2.

Anyone worried the console is TOO small?

I mean Eurogamer said 30 cm x 25 cm x 5 cm.

And only back vents.

I'm worried it might overheat?

 

[Yawnier]

It has already been stated numerous times, but seems like to me that they are trying to go in the direction of cashing in on that PS2 nostalgia. Which is a safe and expected course of action given how successful that console was worldwide.

 

[BlackGoku03]

I think he was kidding.

Uhh what looks $400 about that? PS4 looks alot better..
