It literally says Blu-Ray Disc on the side in the comparison image.
Maybe people shouldn't believe every rumor they hear.
Sounds like a hard thing to do, but it's rather easy.

Well, Microsoft did it. Except instead of a 6 month delay it's a year+ delay.
The Sept7 reveal could end up being "Slim available now, Neo available March."
I sure hope not, though. I want a Neo before Christmas.
Well..it says Fakes Forge in the picture.

How dare anyone have an opposing opinion!
The XBOX ONEs has the ugliest vent on a games system ive ever seen
It's getting more popular and you'd think they'd want people to buy their 4K TV's. I guess they are letting MS have the cheap 4K player market. That's just odd.

It's in some other guy's house now under his TV. Don't know if he's powered it up yet though.

What's with that extra slot with the sticker over it? Are they going to use this same design for another model that maybe has an additional port?
Yea no doubt. Everything so far about the Neo we've heard points to it releasing this year. Now things change.
They'll be the final limiter since mSATA type storage is becoming cheaper and cheaper. Also Sony will want to keep disc drives to sell for BR and 4KBR.
It'll likely 249-299$, but I don't know just how much they can shave off of the price from the current 349$ since they're in as so far cutting down plastic and cutting out optical audio, but otherwise keeping everything fairly constant. I feel like, if it were going to be 249$, we'd be seeing 299$ 1 or 2TB models as well but that doesn't seem to have shipped kind of like how the X1S was brought to market with the limited TB model.
Looks terrible.
LOL, you guys are too much.

PS4 was pretty small to begin with I thought. Any slimmer would be decent for those looking to jump in. For those looking to double dip, that's what Neo will be there for.

Just ordered this, no optical is no problem anymore.
I can also use it with Wii U.

I wonder if the LED is in the slot like that fake image though? Seems odd to lose it, its functional, not just power on/off

To be fair you're comparing a professionally taken shot to a bad quality shot.
No back USB ports

Yeah, smaller models usually mean cheaper production costs, so easier for Sony to produce and hopefully also cheaper for consumers. Options this winter will be a PS4 Slim for an entry model, or Neo for enthusiast. Standard PS4 will be phased out now.
On the OG PS4, stickers cover the screws used to disassemble the system, and they void the warranty if the stickers are removed.

I'm thinking the USB ports are so far apart so one can be used for PSVR without getting in the way. Dunno why they wouldn't just put it round the back though.

There's one of those on the original PS4 as well.
Honestly, £249 is still too high IMO. £220/30 maybe... but £250 is still out of control as far as I'm concerned.

there's probably a small LED light somewhere on the front just
Probably where the screws keeping it together are hidden, removing the sticker voids the warranty.

You can get PS4's for cheap as chips already these days, or they come with 3 or 4 games in a bundle. Hopefully £200/250.

This guy is taking his time powering it up.

One little thing about the lack of optical out.. you do realize that you can get optical sound via the TV? The console outputs audio via HDMI into the TV, and from the TV you can get sound out to the speakers via optical out. Most TVs have this. Quality should be the exact same. Surround support & all..
I wouldn't worry about it
Neo in March does make zero sense at multiple different levels.
House said clearly the presentation will be close to release. They wouldn't make a Playstation Meeting to announce that a new system is releasing in March right before the holiday season.
But hey let's wait until September 7th
I'd rather he take the thing apart...
I think the Super Slim was overpriced as well (as well as just looking bad). We've got a benchmark for what a "Slim" version should look like with the Xbox One S, Sony should really price this low especially as the Neo is coming out.
Some people plug their systems into receivers, not directly into the TV.

So people definitely leaning fake now, right? Between the inconsistency between the image on the box and the actual box in these pictures, it seems this is just an elaborate fake (To say nothing of the Twitter account name).
Good point.
I sure hope it's fake as it's very ugly and cheap looking.
Then again, the final PS3 was even worse.
But it makes sense for a budged version I guess.
Let's see how the neo turns out...

Yeah considering you can get one for £269 online just now £229 would be better. With the crap pound and Brexit causing havoc who the fuck knows.
Unfortunately think it might be £249. We will just have to hope online retailers cut below as they usually do.
