I kinda like it, because it reminds me of the PS2. It also looks small and not like a VCR from the 80s, which also helps.

 

[Iacobellis]

Is this the first Sony console where they didn't go crazy on additional ports?

 

[Septimius]

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

What do you need it for? External HDD? One port. Need to charge 4 controllers? USB hub? 20$? I totally get that they could've just thrown two more on there, but I'm imagining they're sort of cramped for space with that slim design. I'm OK with two.

I think this design shows us that the details matter. It's in some ways reminiscent of the Xbone, but at the same time, it's so much better.

 

[JayVoDaKing]

Sony went back to the BEST console ever made the PS2 design.

I like it the system itself when the CEO guy was holding it ,showed the size and width of the console.

Plus,it is really the design/look of the console that really matters??? Or the if the machine performs.

We as GAMERS complain like kids sometimes, but remember you can either get one of not it's your DIME.

 

[wizzbang]

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)

There's also no confirmation that BluRay -> HDD installation is even possible on the PS4 though. (yet!)

 

[spyshagg]

This will be a classic.



ps2 Retro style. Amazing

Just put the 2 USB ports on the back. Honestly this pisses me off with the Playstation 3, now they've done the same with the PS4. FFS.

512GB SSD day one.

 

[jackrubyn]

I think that controller looks awful. Like something Madcatz would make.

 

[L.O.R.D]

this remind me of this

 

[aganu]

Thread worthy.

Great news.

Seems like Sony's hardware designers went to the same school as the ones working on the X-Box One. The similarity is remarkable.

It's more me being pedantic about a shitty looking loungeroom - don't design a nice box that I HAVE to have a cable hanging out the front from.
I admit the PS Eye camera on the PS3 uses normal USB - on the PS4 it's proprietary and goes in the back so that's 1 free slot but still - some people do hook up HDD's. or in my case, I like a charge cable tucked neatly away so I can pull it from behind a TV or something.

Only now it needs to hang out the front like a cigarette out of a hobos mouth. Ruining my pretty console.

 

[casablanca]

I like it !

 

[Midnight Phoenix]

Looks like PS2 original, that was cutted by katana.

 

[Jarnet87]

Makes me think did both companies go to the same company to design the console lol. Both have that two tone thing going on, similar shape (PS4 slanted and sleaker). I'f I'm picking one yeah I'll take the PS4 design. I wonder how quiet it will run vs the Xbox One. I remember hearing that maybe the One was designed bigger so it literally runs cooler.

 

[TCRS]

Have they shown the headset?

 

[Zaventem]

Looks like a tilted xbone lol. Anyways i know 100% this is the console for me and i'm happy.

Close that school down plz



edit: And man the new dualshock is also really ugly

 

[TCRS]

Is this fake?

 

[spats]

Is this fake?

I doubt it.

 

[TCRS]

It's real, the pics are also in the link in the op. I don't like this headset :/

 

[MYE]

 

[And_Boy]

Is this fake?

From where? It is not fake, the headset was shown in video demonstrating UI (with Sara Green).

 

[sholvaco]

And another question what happen with this?

Intake slits located at the sides of the middle sandwiched section:

Unsurprisingly the hardware is packaged in a fashion similar to the PS3 slim. Let's hope they figured out how to keep it quiet this time.

 

[Yes Boss!]

It is incredibly stylish for a game system. Right in line with what I would expect form Sony. They've only really had one misstep with the first model PS3.

 

[Bradach]

Is this fake?

They seemed to be using it in the video after the conference (the one that shows the UI). I like the idea of it, seems handier than the wireless headset. The voice chat over PSN will have to be a lot better than it is now for me to move from skype calls for online games though.

 

[TCRS]

so has it been confirmed if those are rubber grips on the controller or is it only textured plastic?

Valid argument. I thought you wanted more in the front, but I definitely see the need for two in the back.

Spoiler

That's what she said

 

[Famassu]

That's super-fugly, ugh. Oh well, luckily I can kind of hide it behind the tv with the way my entertainment corner is set up.

 

[santi_yo]

My May mockup:

Damn it!. Not close enough

 

[ballerusk]

Did Sony show the box art for the games? Based on the "used game instructional video" it looks like it will be Vita-covers, but at the size of regular DVD-covers.

 

[Beermeister]

PS3's are not quiet so I'm worried about the potential fan noise.

Fair play, that looks awful.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Looks like a VHS-player.

Wait, 2.8kg? That's it? So it's about as heavy (or light) as my gaming laptop, how the hell did they manage that?

 

[Bradach]

the look is a little sharp for my tastes but I'm impressed at its size (apparently size of first ps3 slim). Considering the contents they done a good job on that front. I was expecting a tower pc (ala xbone)

 

[Shtof]

Come'on people, that looks amazing.

 

[MYE]

My May mockup:

Damn it!. Not close enough

Looks much better

 

[sono]

Thank you I was hoping someone would do a thread on this.

Are there any more close ups and also a human hand or something for scale.


Unfortunately my first reaction isnt great, and those pictures make it look huge


PS BOX

 

[News Bot]

Absolutely love the design, to be honest.

 

[XeNoN89]

I love the design personally. Definitely got some PS2 nostalgia going on. I was worried about the potential size after the XB1 announcement, so am glad they managed to make it smaller. Only thing to worry about now is noise, however I'm still using a fat PS3, so as long as it is quieter than that I will be happy.

 

[Goody]

It's my biggest beef with the system. That said, if that's my biggest problem, I think I'll be OK.

 

[qa_engineer]

Looks okay I guess. Nothing groundbreaking

 

[kvn]

I fucking love this design. I'll hump it everyday all day long.

 

[Drek]

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)

That would have required DRM for disc based titles. You can have that feature by just buying all digital, FYI. I'm sure Sony will continue their day one digital strategy.

 

[Ashes]

Where's the hard drive enclosure? Do I have to open up the entire box?

 

[venne]

Looks like a door stop from the future.
