I really, really wish they released a white version simultaneously.

Yup. I'm only jumping in when a white version is finally released.

 

[Bojanglez]

I really, really wish they released a white version simultaneously.

Same, all my other consoles are white other than my ps4, I was hoping this would let me go white. Us early adopters are often screwed in this respect.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

If a little plain, I do find it looks better in person.

Hnnnggghh.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Yup. I'm only jumping in when a white version is finally released.

Destiny 2 bundle.

 

[Ricky_R]

I wonder if my wife will notice that my PS4 has suddenly grown.

Haha

 

[UrbanRats]

I wonder if my wife will notice that my PS4 has suddenly grown.

Lmao.

-
I was hoping they would do something spicier with the box, feels really understated.

 

[Audiophile]

What's the greatest console box of all time? I'm pretty fond of the PS2

Just a big ol' blue box

Argh, nostalgia is such a powerful drug, brings back so many memories!

 

[Rellik]

All I care about is if it sounds like a jet engine or not. My launch PS4 wakes up people in the house from how loud it is. I just want some peace.

 

[theytookourjobz]

Ugh. Now I want one. How many of you guys and gals that are getting one don't have a 4K TV?

 

[DBT85]

What year do you see the PS5 launching? 10TF is a top of the line graphics card right now. Has to be at least 2 years, more like 3.

I don't expect the PS5 before 2019. So 2 years after Scorpio. The question then would be when do MS do their next iteration.

 

[CyberPunked]

Awwww yeahhh! Is there a list of games that are getting updates? Are Uncharted 4, or Ratchet and Clank getting anything?

 

[nemisis0]

This could lead to all the big 3 just releasing their consoles separately rather then close together and not bothering to compete whith eachother anymore, nintendo already does it, wonder if the other 2 will follow.

 

[viHuGi]

If a little plain, I do find it looks better in person.

And I find the back a lot tidier!

For me next gen boxes should be bigger than pc towers and with top of the line specs on it like 360 and Ps3 back in the day, nobody cares about design here, we care about power, give us huge boxes with huge power!

With that said, Pro looks beautiful.

 

[Always-honest]

I wonder if my wife will notice that my PS4 has suddenly grown.

Haha, same here

 

[ron_bato]

Awwww yeahhh! Is there a list of games that are getting updates? Are Uncharted 4, or Ratchet and Clank getting anything?

Both Uncharted 4 and Ratchet are confirmed to receive updates, yes.

I have seen multiple threads with lists here on gaf.

 

[viHuGi]

Man this thing leaves the Slim version in the dust.

Don't understand why anyone would opt for a slim over this beautiful beast!

You'd be surprised how dominant Slim is right now on EU.

 

[DBT85]

Ugh. Now I want one. How many of you guys and gals that are getting one don't have a 4K TV?

I don't. I can;t stand Samsung gear apart from SSDs, so I think I'll wait a little longer for the new Sony Backlight Master Drive to filter down to peasant models.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Releasing during the same year has never really been commonplace. That being said PlayStation and Xbox have too much library overlap and similar specs/functionality to not be direct competitors.

 

[anddo0]

What is everyone's first Pro game going to be?

Final Fantasy XV

 

[SictorVullivan]

What has the consensus been in regards to the PS4's Slim noise level? Hoping the Pro is quiet (assuming the Slim has been as well).

 

[Koobion]

Now it feels so real. Hype!

 

[Helscream]

I reserved mine at Gamestop yesterday. Typically avoid Gamestop, but a new one was built about a mile from my house. It doesn't get much customer traffic so it basically serves as my clutch-go-to store for reserved stuff.

 

[RocknRola]

Yes it's a great Tv, at a great price.

We have a big thread on this model, check it out for info and impressions.

Ah cool, thanks!

 

[Autofokus]

The Slim is up to 20 decibel quieter. I assume that the Pro will be about the same as the Launch PS4, similar power consumption etc.

 

[protomouse]

Has to be one of the ugliest and unimaginative console designs I've seen in quite some time. It's not quite "Atari Jaguar with the CD add-on" levels of ugly, but they certainly could have gone above and beyond the "PS4 with stomach rolls" aesthetic.

Sure, a console is for playing and not to look at, but still. I'd rather they put a bit more effort into it.

MS and Sony are targeting largely the same audience (TF, COD, GTA, FIFA, etc) unlike Nintendo. So I tihnk both will try to keep within touching distance of each other.

You should try and clean it out, did wonders for mine.

 

[Arcane0ne]

I'm waiting for 299 Shenmue 3 pack.

 

[GinoFelino]

I'm waiting for 299 Shenmue 3 pack.

That's certainly very specific.

 

[EmiPrime]

I've been almost 2 months without a PS4, I need my Pro now. I can't wait to finally own a Playstation that has a rear USB port so I won't have the PSVR cable permanently jutting out the front of the machine. Almost worth the cost of the upgrade alone.

First game? Rez Infinite in VR if iam8bit ever ship out our copies of it.

 

[Inuhanyou]

This isn't the year 2000. Hell even back then, consoles were very small, nowhere near PC towers, even Xbox and launch PS3(although launch PS3 does get close when you stand it up)

The fact of the matter is that you can't get 'top of the line specs' anymore in a console form factor. The power draw of these components is too high. And the cost is too high for these companies to eat as well. Or atleast Sony and Nintendo. MS could do it, but they don't want to dump money into something that will be a loss leader.

 

[MarcusAurelius32]

"Super-charged" appears to be part of the Pro messaging. Makes me think they could have gotten away with calling it the Super PlayStation 4.

No. NO they couldn't

 

[Wolfgang Jr]

Easily the worst looking console of all time.

 

[Kaswa101]

Easily the worst looking console of all time.

Hardly. I actually like it.

 

[Tarkus]

Pls amazon, deliver mine on day one.

 

[Kouriozan]

I'm ready to heighten my experiences.

 

[SpideySenses]

Only thing holding me back from buying it is the functionality of being able to turn it on when pushing the hamburger button on my Xbox One controller, otherwise I'm out.

Spoiler

Actually looks nice in person, better than the slim but worse than the original.

 

[PackAPunchedMick]

Easily the worst looking console of all time.

In a world where the og xbox one and PS3 super slim dont exist sure.

 

[jett]

Heh @ the box barely saying anything about 4K gaming. Maybe Sony actually realized nobody gives a fuck.

 

[klier]

Proness awaits!

Still deciding wether or not to buy a 4K HDR set with it......

 

[Patrick Young]

I have a pretty specific question. Can old PS4 controller enclosures fit on a revised controller? I'd rather not buy yet another controller when they put out a new version of the red one.

 

[JP]

Heh @ the box barely saying anything about 4K gaming. Maybe Sony actually realized nobody gives a fuck.

What is there to say about 4K gaming? Did the older model mention the resolutions of games on the box? That's a genuine question, maybe it did mention it but it just seems to be a strange thing to mention on the outside of the box.

 

[JPS Kai]

I have a pretty specific question. Can old PS4 controller enclosures fit on a revised controller? I'd rather not buy yet another controller when they put out a new version of the red one.

The only spot if be concerned with is the top curve of the lightbar on the original model. I imagine that might give a little wiggle room on the Pro controller.

I can test for myself when my Pro comes in. I'm pretty sure that I still have one of those blue controller skins from Gamestop in my box of cords.

Yep, I've seen it in person, it really is a smart looking piece of hardware imo. The new controllers are good too, wouldn't think the light on the top of the touchpad makes a positive difference but it does.

I found a teardown of the new controller. The internal design around the lightbar has changed, so I'm out of luck unless I consider removing new lightbar functionality too.

 

[dmix90]

I am hopeless..... sold useless Xbox One and old CPU+MOBO+RAM combo. Pre-ordered PRO all because of FFXV and potentially RE7 in VR. Why those new shiny things are so tempting.....ughhh. Now only thing that left is to get rid of PS4.

Your marketing shit works Sony.

 

[Conduit]

I don't know why it's showing like that on the website. Boxes are just region appropriate, which is why you can't rely on those. If you were to check an UK box, it'd show a different voltage than the one for US etc. You have to check the power supply inside. But I've used one in three different continents. You don't have to worry; it works fine.

Are you importing? Or do you travel with it or something?

But all PS4's have universal powersupply.

 

[Arthr2ShdsJcksn]

The Big-Mac console is almost here. That extra bun = more pixels.
