That thing is MUCH MUCH smaller than what I was expecting. And internal power supply too? oO

If the rumours about XBone are true, Heating issues = more active fan = louder system.
Is the 'AUX' a USB port? it kind of looks like it. could be for the camera.
Presumably AUX is for the camera? Sucks that there are no analogue outputs though.

Are there no rubber feet for the bottom to rest on?
How big is the PS4 fan?
I don't see how these rumors could be true when both consoles have such similar architecture.
I'm not sure, but the Xbox fan coming out of the side makes it bigger than the PS4s can possibly be by design... I think. (It worked on the 360 slim)

I hope so. I HATE connecting the PS Eye cable to the front of the PS3.

Yes Cerny or someone said the cam used its own port in February.
In the gap along the edges I think
and this
But so far is sexy pentagon and better than XBONE

eh? The xbox fan coming out the sides? you mean the vent?

Not exactly a fan of either Sony or MS hardware designs for this coming generation.
If I was going to buy based on looks I'd first get a black WiiU, then a PS4 followed closely by an XOne. But the gulf in design between WiiU and PS4 is huge.
None in this coming generation are good designs, but one is far better than the others. I mean PS4 and XOne look like hardware from Atari and Panasonic. Neither are good designs.

It's way smaller.
left hand side as you look at the front. between the two main elements.

I liked the design language of the XB1 so it's no surprise that this appeals to me. It's a much more 'Sony' take on that style though which is great.
I'm not a big fan of it sitting up vertically but in its horizontal position it looks brilliant.
Hopefully there'll be a blue stand for it available separately as a nice throw back to the PS2 era.

And another question what happen with this?
and this
The second picture I believe is actually two objects. I think the top black object is the PS4 whilst the vents and the plastic underneath that is the vertical mounting stand. In the picture it looks like the PS4 is about to be placed on the stand or is being removed from the stand. There appears to be vents on both sides of the PS4, so when it's standing upright it makes sense that the stand is ventilated too, otherwise you'd be blocking half of the side vents.
Below is a pic of how I believe the vent looks from the end. Please forgive the crudity of this model.
If you look at the pic below, it appears that the PS4 is sitting flush on top of the stand and doesn't sit in a slot, so it must be that there's something sticking up into the side groove of the PS4 to keep it steady. It also makes sense that the vent in the stand is painted white so it's easier to see when you slide the PS4 down onto it.
Also notice in the picture below the stand appears to be made up of two parts, with holes in the front and side to allow air to pass. That may be where the first picture comes from somehow.

Both consoles look nice in my opinion.

Yeah height wise (when flat) it's actually lower than any of the PS3 models. Slightly wider than the slim but not as deep either.

It reminds me of this.
It looked extremely light to me, imo it was lighter than the real ps4.
That box may well be empty, so the way he's hefting it may be deceptive.
Fucked if I know how they got it so sleek compared to the xbone, which I like the look of too but damn. Plus they hid the vents a LOT better.

I do prefer it to XBO, but neither are particularly good looking machines.

Oh, you mean the way he is holding it, not the weight from the spec sheet.
PS4 Spec sheets already say it is 2.8kg or 6 lbs.
Launch PS3 was 7kg or 15 lbs.
PS4 is only 40% of PS3 weight, less than half.

Shit, that IS an LED strip across the top. Hope it's not too bright...
If it's too bright I'll dull it with a sharpie.

Probably, just like a PS3 fat - huge, housed in the middle of a massive heatsink that covers the entire motherboard and exhausts air to the back.
Versus, huge fan sitting on top of a heatsink, and blows upwards.
