I wonder, where did this go?

Premium SKU?

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

The lack of symmetry bothers me, why doesn't the glossy strip extend to the length of the disc tray? I can't figure out why it stops where it does.

Also I can't believe there is no USB port at the back once again and only one AUX port.
The most annoying thing about the PS3 was having the TV Tuner plugged into the front at all times

 

[spliced]

Pretty ugly, it looks like half a cinder block.

I bet it doesn't even let the fat drain away from the meat.

 

[DBT85]

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.

That XBONE fan will be sucking air in from that top vent, not blowing it out.

Premium SKU?

It's the power button

 

[ParaCanKor]

Sony did math

Why? The 360 S has the exact same fan layout and it blows air out the top.

 

[NeoUltima]

I need to know if it actually lights up blue like that. That would be sick.

 

[Drencrom]

"Nice, slick, BLACK!"

Getting PS2 vibes

 

[Ylyon]

both consoles are REALLY ugly

You don't really get the concept of that giant 140mm fan do you?

Ahh ok, didn't realise that.

You don't really get the concept of that giant 140mm fan do you?

No, thats why I have 8 120mm fans in my PC/HTPC. Wait.

I didn't expect the fan to blow up, I expected it to blow down.

The HSF combo is massive and right over the APU which is great. But we have quite literally no idea how the PS4 does it yet.

 

[UnblessedSoul]

Looks great and small, really like it

 

[goonergaz]

need more pictures...

 

[sol_bad]

Do we have any idea if we can import this thing without needing power converters etc like the PS3?

 

[Theman2k]

Looks great and small, really like it

It is in fact the same size as the slim ps3. (Not super slim)

but heat rises, on a PC you suck in cool air from the bottom fans and get rid of the heat through the top fans no?

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Props to this Reddit user who almost perfectly predicted the look with only the teaser photos.

[DBT85]

Yes in a multi fan case you do that. But a traditional HSF that comes with a CPU is just a heatsink with a 80mm fan that blows DOWN onto the CPU, it doesn't try and suck air THROUGH the heatsink.

The XBONE sits flat, with the 140mm fan seated right over the APU, air has to get into and out of the case. I did not expect the air to be blown out the top, but rather sucked in the top and blown out the sides.

 

[NekoFever]

Any word on whether it'll support IR remotes? It was kind of annoying to integrate a PS3 into an AV setup where you use a universal remote because none of them support Bluetooth. I can't see a receiver on it, but it'd be easy to hide in the black bits.

 

[funkystudent]

I guess the round fan vent was just tossed into the teaser to confuse people?

GG sony.

I prefer the more conventional look of the x1 but they are both slick black boxes. Doesnt matter.

 

[gingerlord]

Looks nice, now to figure out where to put it under the TV.

 

[Strike]

It's alright. It looks like a box. With the exception of the super slim PS3, Sony's designs always look much nicer in person. I assume that it will be the same case with this.

ah right, I guess having stripped down a PS3 I understand better how console cooling works.

man I can't wait to see inside the PS4, it's so small considering the power!

 

[hal9001]

It looks alright. Will need to see more of it though.

so, heating is not a factor?

 

[Lima]

so, heating is not a factor?

Probably not but it will definitely be louder than the One.

 

[wizzbang]

How many USB slots on the back?

SSD installable (HDD removable = YES)
Region free = amazing
All I need to know, can I load my 50gb disc based games to HDD. I don't care if it chews space, I dont' care if it takes 25 minutes to copy, can I damn well save my laser long term and gain performance benefits from my SSD?
If so, dream machine.

Also, don't like the slant on it, don't hate the design but I'm not big on it.

 

[Lima]

How many USB slots on the back?

None. Only two in the front.

 

[rain elbows]

So where exactly you remove the HDD?
From the bottom?

And another question what happen with this?

and this

But so far is sexy pentagon and better than XBONE

Looks awesome.

 

[GodofWine]

Its a slightly cooler looking Xbone.

Mandatory PS+ (for multi) and the design were my "mehs" of the show. But it looks better in the photos, on stage it looked like an xbone from 1997, xbone looks like xbone from 1983.

 

[ussjtrunks]

I like the design though I am a tad worried by the recessed looking disk slot looks fidlely

 

[Flayer]

Strongly reminds me of the PS2. I like it.

 

[KennyLinder]

What are the chances that we could put an SSD in there? I guess 1TB would be expensive, but it should help no end with loading,right?

 

[DBT85]

I'll be interested to hear them both.

SSD should work, no idea how much it will help yet though.

But they talked a lot about instant gaming in February so we don't know how much difference an SSD will make.

 

[Lima]

You can put an SSD in a PS3 today, so of course you can put a SSD in a PS4. And yes it will help with loading times if games can be installed to the hard drive(kinda sad that they didn't make this mandatory like Microsoft)

 

[sTeLioSco]

better,smaller than xbox1 but i expected even more.

also anyone knows if there is a power brick??

Internal PSU.

nice,along with removable harddrive hardware is fine.

 

[waypoetic]

A friend just asked me "PS2?".

 

[RSTEIN]

I think it's a thing of beauty. Cheaper. More powerful. No DRM. Better looking.

 

[dyergram]

Wish it was grey.

 

[TCRS]

Kind of ugly but oh well.

 

[HelloMeow]

Someone shop a PS4 in there

Well alright...

[phaze]

I dislike both designs. PS4 is slightly better though. Wii U the best looking console, who would have thought.

 

[Mad_Ban]

Kind of reminds me of a PS2 on 'roids I really like the design.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

I like that the angles will help with dust as well.

 

[trmas]

Pretty damn nice next to the Xbone DVR... smaller too!

 

[Erasus]

Removable HDD? YES
Was afraid they would remove it.

No AV-Out sucks. Why? Speakers.

Something like a 2.1 system usually dont have optical inputs... only RCA. And Im not running sound through the shit TV/monitor speakers...
I dont often connect my PS3 to monitor but its nice to have

 

[sublimit]

Looks like a slightly better designed xbone.White would have looked awesome though.

 

[wizzbang]

None. Only two in the front.

Genuinely disapointing and stupid would pay an extra 20$ - seriously just straight up 20$ more if they put 2 fucking more on the rear!

It's 2013 FFS
