Sorry but your mockup looks like one of them boxes to watch satelite tv

Yeah, it's a SKY HD box glued to an old PS2 stand!

 

[Midnight Phoenix]

We need something like this now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUFkb0d1kbU

 

[alr1ght]

def gives vibe of this, which is only a good thing

 

[ironcreed]

It's looking very sleek and mean. Nice tease indeed.

 

[Speedwagon]

Grip of the DS4? It's the last screen to appear and only for a split second, so possibly something more significant?

 

[Hoo-doo]

HNNNNNNGGGH

Sharp edges, matte and glossy surfaces, hot industrial looking intakes. Give it to me now!

 

[EvilKatarn]

I would LOVE if this area lights up

Me too. Especially if it were a blinding torch aimed right at my face when trying to play a game at night.

No tacky shit, please. PS2 was the best at that - just two little minimalist dim lights.

 

[Brokun]

HERE IT IS, SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

Lol, amazing. I can't stop laughing.

 

[jacksepticeye]

I look forward to seeing it. Seems like it's just a very basic box with hard angles, and that's cool with me

 

[Ricky_R]

To be honest I don't care much about how good/bad the console looks. I'm more concerned about how much it heats up and how well it ventilates.

 

[chubigans]

HERE IT IS, SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

bwahaha

Man I'm pumped for E3.

 

[BloodMoney]

The new slim is the only model that allows a person to access the lens without taking the console apart.

I have gone through more PS3's than I have fingers on one hand. Do you know what ALL the failures were? That's right, the lens went.

The new model - not slot loading, having an actual bay you can reach - is by FAR the best model. I can clean the lens on it, I cannot on any other model. There is also the issue of more mechanical parts with a slot loader, ie, more things to break, and more things to increase cost.

You know they make discs with little felt barbs embedded in them which you load into slot loading players and it cleans the lens... right?

My original PS3 is still working, 6 years later.

 

[Aurizen]

hope the hardware look gets leaked

Looks a bit like this one as well.

[plainr_]

They just had to mix the shots huh.

 

[TheBioLover]

Kaz strikes again

Damn! :lol

 

[Man]

Anyways, before hitting bed my final thoughts are:

Rounded 'vent' part is the bundled mono headset.
PSEye is also bundled.

 

[kvothe]

HERE IT IS, SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

My god....

It's glorious.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Kaz strikes again

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! That is hilarious.

 

[anexanhume]

How? It's matte and has no convex/concavity to it. It's all hard angles. The main things they share are the color and 90 degree corners. That's not a lot in common.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Kaz strikes again

haha fake Kaz doing his thing

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Kaz strikes again

:lol

 

[nib95]

If it ends up being an angular looking slick modern box, I will splurge. If you guys remember, all the designs I linked to as my ideal styles for it to mimic were of a similar cut.

 

[Wishmaster92]

it's matte.......SALVATION!!!!!!!!

 

[Graphics Horse]

I think that's part of the DS4.

I think it wraps around in a curve on one end, and is flat on all other sides.

When standing vertically (on the side opposite to the curve), it'll look like a square from the side, but with a curve away on the top side. From the front it will look like a thin (ish?) rectangle with a semi-circle on top.

Yep. I guess they could curve the bottom side if they have some weird stand like the Wii U.

I can't make out the blur but it looks like it's a bit wider at the base?

 

[javac]

lol sony, way to shit on microsoft's party :lol

Well I guess for the time being. Its inevitable that Microsoft will get a lot of attention when the event hits tomorrow and then it's a constant fight until E3 and beyond.

 

[gofreak]

The touchpad on the controller wraps around the top in a curve. Maybe that's an echo of a wrap-around curve on the box itself too.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Dis guy

 

[Jb]

Oh man this remindedd me that we are totally going to see what the Durango looks like tomorrow I'm hoping for some slick, elegant, simple design, which also seems to be what the PS4 is going for.

 

[wondermega]

Quite possibly, the funniest thread I have seen on gaf in some time

 

[Baleoce]

Sorry but your mockup looks like one of them boxes to watch satelite tv

That's because it's literally a sky+ box

 

[Meccanical]

Kaz strikes again

got damn

 

[Bluforce]

That blue line at the end of teaser trailer.

It's so much PS2 logo. Love it!

 

[oO Arekkz Oo]

It's only blurry because it's 3D. If you put your 3D glasses on, you can see the console clearly.

 

[Recon_NL]

PS4 light bar/LED strip teaser?

 

[Paradicia]

A black blurry image. God damit Sony has done it again!

 

[nib95]

If this area lights up...

YES.

 

[tusken77]

PSEye is also bundled.

Hmm, good thinking.

 

[MikeJAMoran]

Yeah and a small touch of old John Carpenter too. Fits beautifully with that blue strip flare at the end.
Edit: @into, haha was thinking of Escape....

I love the tune, though. It's points to a cool direction.

 

[Iacobellis]

Me too. Especially if it were a blinding torch aimed right at my face when trying to play a game at night.

No tacky shit, please. PS2 was the best at that - just two little minimalist dim lights.

The PS2 looked sooooooooooo sleek with those two lights.

 

[Meccanical]

PS4 light bar/LED strip teaser?

I must admit, a blue LED strip would be pretty sexy.

 

[Vashetti]

Not showing the box in February was a really smart move. Now they have something to counter the Xbox hype and dammit, it's working beautifully...

It almost seems like they held it back purposefully so they could drop it whenever Microsoft unveil their console.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

WTH, angular console means that the graphics will soulless and angular like PC graphics

Ps4 will make coffee confirmed!

It only does everything again

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

PS4 light bar/LED strip teaser?

 

[CorrisD]

PS4 light bar/LED strip teaser?

Would be really sweet, a Tron styled strip, like the one seen in the fake image, just across the box when you turn it on. SEXY BEAST.

 

[Acosta]

HERE IT IS, SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

hahaha I'm dying here.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

If this area lights up...

YES.

Interesting as that solid black area may be something like an LCD type display for time or something.


HMMM KSDJHF

Yes, I have tried them, they do not work on a PS3. You are a lucky guy if so. Many people are lucky. I am not.

Either way, the highest failure on PS3 consoles was the Bluray lens. The new model allows anyone to access that without breaking the warranty. Surely you can see the huge benefit of that, even if you prefer the asthetics of the previous model?

I hate the grill slats on the new one, but being able to reach that lens for someone like me is worth a thousand ugly grill slats.

Edit: Just for context, my launch PS3 was replaced by Sony 3 times in 14 months. Each time the lens was at fault.
