HDD slot?

how would a hdd fit in there.... ?

 

[SystemsGo]

I'm surprised that it is so thin. I'm guessing it doesn't generate a lot of heat?

 

[Ultryx]

It's fantastic looking. I love it.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Faster than Xbox One

Faster memory than Xbox One

No power brick like Xbox One

Not reported to have heating issues like Xbox One

Smaller than Xbox One

Wtf are Microsoft's designers doing?

You need a lot of extra space to fit all the TV, SPORTS, and CALLADOGGY inside.

 

[Graphics Horse]

question... where do you put the game ? i do not find any sort of tray

It slots in the gap between the two layers. left hand side of the front edge.

 

[katsubento]

Really brings back the PS 2 vibe. Just package it in the big blue box again and the circle will be complete.

 

[creyas]

If you only went by these pics..

Didn't look so hot on stage though. Need to see it live

 

[PrincessDan]

Is there an LED strip on the side of the system or is it just physical coloring?

 

[Stimpack]

XBONE 2.

More like the Xbox one-two. Get it? Because... it's a knock out victory...

Eh, I wonder if that joke has been made already.

 

[uuaschbaer]

I hope part of it rises or pivots to reveal the disc slot.

It's sad that people can't appreciate subtle design features and all they see is A BLACK BOX LOL LOOKS LIKE XBONE. The Xbone is nasty due to a grey disc tray, poorly done design features and it's a square.

If we're going by that standard, I have a lot of Xbone looking designs in my home.

Yeah, the Xbox One comparisons seem kind of lazy to me. This looks gorgeous imo.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Shit is slick. Shit is black, like my hair.

 

[I should be doing hw]

Not a fan of the design at all, I was expecting something to match the sleekness of the DS4. Instead it combines the worst aspects of the XBO's two-toned finish and the original slim PS3's textured plastic.

 

[demolitio]

I like it a lot more than the One (no, not Neo). I'm not crazy in love with it, but it's a lot sharper than just a box and I'm amazed at how slim it is.

I do think I'll have an OCD problem though. I'm going to be paranoid thinking my console is about to fall off the stand every time I take a quick glance at it.

Wow. Is the size really confirmed to be smaller?

 

[Deified Data]

The generation of the black box.

At least Sony has the size advantage. I like it more than the PS3 in any case.

 

[coldfoot]

L shaped USB cables + that valley should make hiding USB cables much easier. Not that you'd have much of a reason to route it to the back though, since the camera has its own port in the back.

 

[Liabe Brave]

Looks like HDD might upgradable like PS3

See the bottom

Due to size, you couldn't simply slide a drive in there. Look at the frontal picture using the disc slot as a measurement: the machine isn't thick enough to stand a drive in. But maybe it's access to screws that hold the HDD in? It could be laying horizontally, say to the right of the USB slots.

Or, crazier idea...a cover for some sort of expansion slot? I can't imagine what for, though.

 

[Sebas_09]

looks really nice, I'm sure it'll look better live

 

[The Penguin Fairy]

It's so small, I love it! The blue light is a nice touch. It does look like 2 PS2s stacked though.
Looks nicer than the XBone.

 

[Grinchy]

I don't really think I like how it looks but maybe it looks better in person. It's just such a strange design. I thought the Xbone looked ugly from being too basic, but this is ugly from being too weird. I'll give it some time.

 

[soulassssns]

LOL, it's Xbox One in ITALICS

 

[Mohonky]

Looks like shit, it fits in with nothing home theatre related, looks like something you would see in an 80's sci-fi flick.

Mind you the PS1 wasn't great and the PS2 WAS horrible. PS3 original however was amazing.

Again, controller is the same basic design, aalways hated it. Uncomfortable and awkward stick placement.

Console looks aren't a big deal, the only thing that annoys me is I know I will already hate the controller but in the greater scheme of things, I will be skipping Xbone for PS4.

 

[Satchel]

USB ports on the front again?

Fucking hell. It looks ugly as fuck when you have USB shit sticking out of the front of a console. My silver PS3 is ruined by the USB cable from the PSEye sticking out it'll be he same for this one again. God damn it.

 

[MrCookiepants]

Looks sexy to me.

Wow. I love it. Dat LED strip.

Sony's best home console design I reckon.

 

[BasilZero]

Looks odd but I think I can #dealwiththat at least. l0l

 

[Coreda]

Lol, surprised you noticed the similarity. The unofficial Microsoft logo redesign by Andrew Kim.

 

[eddfromtheriver]

Yes, sony please do that, i still remember that blue box... *sheds rivers*

 

[web01]

What is the point of the slants wouldn't that make it more expensive to produce and give less space inside to mount parts.
Really feel indifferent to the design, do no love or hate it. Original PS3 was nicer launch design even if huge.

 

[Hale-XF11]

Sexy and slick. I love the angling. This is the best looking system of next gen.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Not as sexy as I thought but it will prob grow on me.

Looks nice flat, better than it standing.

 

[Bad_Boy]

a lot smaller too. i wouldnt even be mad if it had a external brick.

 

[GYNGA]

Was this posted?

 

[Kvik]

It looks like a monolith.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Tallshortman]

That LED looks hot, the rest looks fine though nothing special. Looks significantly less bulky than the xbone.

 

[VanWinkle]

Extremely sleek.

 

[davepoobond]

looks great to me. its very modern-looking for some reason.

 

[eddfromtheriver]

Is there an LED strip on the side of the system or is it just physical coloring?

I hope its a LED strip... i'm a sucker for them.

 

[XonoX]

The blue LED strip along the body looks like the message indicator the Wii has around the slot. Love it !

 

[super-famicom]

Yes, sony please do that, i still remember that blue box... *sheds rivers*

I still have the blue box of a launch PS2 in my closet.

Was this posted?

Lol, nice!

 

[RuneWalsh]

Not sure how I feel about the design right now. It will probably grow on me over time.

 

[Meciu]

looks sexy, I like it

 

[AllenShrz]

Any video of the console?

I want to see the lights on that console.

 

[Ce-Lin]

love it

 

[BlastProcessing]

How in the hell does this thing have an internal power supply?

 

[CHC]

Things moving so fast, not sure if this is still news but seems like it's confirmed to have a 500GB Hard drive and an internal power supply, no brick needed.

XB1: 34.3 x 26.3 x 8

PS4: 30.5 x 27.5 x 5.3

Ahem...

 

[CrisKre]

Looks ok. I like the simplicity. Not the best from Sony but not bad at all.
