you can't put a price on sparks
Whoever made that did a good job
And I mean, that has to be Sony right lol

Dude, it's real. Stop it you press sneak fuck.
Obviously every company is different, but funny enough our emails have "confidential" on them and our prototype images dont. its just an understood common sense rule not to spread that shit around outside of the people who need to know.
I know i'm late to the party after the tweets by Polygon and Kotaku writers, but just to confirm how ridiculous that things was, here's an image proving what a lot of you were saying
That would mean that the BD drive is 84 mm wide, when a BD disc is 120mm in diameter. So not possible.
However like Fliesen said, those images are not the same, so that would mean that the slim version wouldn't be THAT small. Supposing a 120mm Blu-ray drive width, the dimensions of the slim portrayed would be 234 mm x 37 mm x 268 mm, which is still smaller than the current 275 x 53 x 305

After the PS3 slim leak back in 2009, this weird design is slightly believeable.

I seem to remember a Mark Cerny interview/talk about the PS4 where he told that as the PS4 has a much simpler architecture than the PS2/3 with its use of off-the-shelf components vs. customized ones it could mean earlier redesigns with lower cost of parts. I can't find the direct quote though, so I could be misremembering.

Yup, YUP. If this is indeed true, then maaaan it's one incredibly smaller looking Ps4!

The psone has got to be one of the cutest most attractive looking consoles ever, just look at that thing. Makes me want to squeeze it's cheeks.

I liked the also fake Bone Slim better:
That lightning is so off. Amateur job.

That design, whether it's real or not shits all over the current design. The current design is ugly as sin to me.
Ahh but that makes it even worse.
Not many people have the wave to work the console from the side.

Looks like a top loader if standing vertical.

I love the Monolith code name, 2001 fan here.
If they do launch ads that reference the movie how great would that be?

Of course it's fake, it's probably going to be 2016 at the earliest for a full on redesign. The first internal revision of any significance could probably come out this year though.

It's funny because when I first heard about the PS2 I didn't know it could stand on its end. I envisioned an advert of a black monolith on the moon with apes drawn to it. That iconic music begins to play and when the apes touch the monolith the letters P... S ... 2 appear, followed by the tag line 'something's going to happen ... something wonderful'.

Looks pretty fake. Not a bad job of designing it though, whoever did it.

I dunno man. I remember back then everyone said it looked like a Wii with an extra slab of metal put onto it. No one really liked it.
I don't remember when I first saw that though.

Actually, if you do this same calculation on a perspective corrected image, you get things to be almost right (with 110mm space for the drive)I know i'm late to the party after the tweets by Polygon and Kotaku writers, but just to confirm how ridiculous that things was, here's an image proving what a lot of you were saying

Here's perspective corrected image (and it may not be 100% correct still, but the best I could do with a missing edge):

I can't see your image but you don't need to do that...the measurements in my image are "relative", that's why i used the first image that put the consoles side by side, to get the relative width of the slim console in comparison to the 275 mm of the current PS4. Then used that as my reference measure for the 2nd image, so i could get the width of the drive.
Someone in another site told me it could be a Super BD so i was like WUT. Hell, i didn't know there were 80 mm BDs out there, but they only have 16GB of space tops with double layer so....

Guys I kinda think this might be fake :s

I think that is the general consensus, my friend.

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
How do people know how something is classified unless you classify it?

In my office, it is usually the email subject line and encryption. All classified files are in password and certificate protected folders. No information is explicitly labeled as classified. Likely makes it harder for anyone to identify the classified info in the case of a data breach

Far too early for a redesign anyway.
The Artisan

how long did it take for the Ps2 to have a slim? 4 years?
it was 3 years for the Ps3.
so a Ps4 slim this year wouldn't be that outlandish. The pictures could be real.

ya, putting 'confidential' is telling the world to click on it. Filename would have been way more inconspicuous if it was real. It's a sexy design though.
the only reason why i believe Sony leaks is because they're bad at keeping lids at secrets which is what made the GDDR5 bombshell such a big deal in my eyes because they kept it so secret successfully

But it is only in its second year. I can see it happening next year
The Artisan
Member
I know. I'm saying every generation so far the slim playstation's come out a year and a year earlier. so it wouldn't be totally outlandish for the Ps4 slim to come out in its second year.

then the slim ps5 will come out before the original size

There is no chance that Sony has already reduced the form factor to that size and maintain the same specs in this amount of time.

Totally unnecessary as many people have already stated here before me. PS4 IS slim already. The Xbox One on the other hand.. *cough* *cough*

The Ps4 is a sleek thing but there is still room for improvement.
Yeah, I can do that too.
You did that?
Yeah, I can do that too.
If i wore hats I would tip it to you sir.
