Seriously. This still isn't big enough.Meh already rocking 2TB in my machine.... come on Sony step it up.

In the age of 10+ GB patches it still seems like a small amount of space
That would be a huge blunder on Sony's part. Majority of console software sale is physical, and that number increases with casual players. Not to mention a BD-drive costing only $20 max. It Would cripple the PS4 severely for little profit gain.Looks like the bluray drive might have been removed.
It's 300 grams lighter, uses 200 less mA, and uses 20 less watts according to the other image. Those line up practically perfectly with the specs of a disc drive.
Unless you are incredibly wealthy to afford some enormous storage medium disks (or terabyte sized SSDs), the ever expanding size of games is going to eat through even terabyte sized platter drives in short order. Since the PS4 does not have 7 2.5/3.5" bays, its obviously rather hard to keep up with a singular drive unless you do delete games (or just buy less of them, I guess). External storage helps to alleviate this by giving you swappable storage.
$349 - 500GB, TLOU bundle, standard unit.
$399 - 1TB, "special" bundle (your Assassin's Creeds, your Far Crys), elite unit.
Just saying that you can upgrade the HDD at anytime and you are not forced to use the standard 500GB/1TB for the rest of your life like a certain other console.

It's really not as bad as I expected.Unless you are incredibly wealthy to afford some enormous storage medium disks (or terabyte sized SSDs), the ever expanding size of games is going to eat through even terabyte sized platter drives in short order. Since the PS4 does not have multiple 2.5/3.5" drive bays, its obviously rather hard to keep up with a singular drive unless you do delete games (or just buy less of them, I guess). External storage helps to alleviate this by giving you swappable storage.
Well only if that's the cause of the decrease in weight and powerSo this will be a digital only box?

I'm not leaking or basing this off any inside knowledge.
Yeah it's weird. The only advantage I know of would be removing the drive as a way to shrink the system, but the FCC says these units have the same dimensions.
And what console would that be? Because it is certainly not the PS3, Wii U, Wii, Xbox 360, or Xbox One.
Pretty much required since external storage isn't possible. PS3? Would be fine unless you own tons. PS4? Have fun deleting games all the time.
But external storage is possible...

Would be cool if they announced a network-only (non-BD) alternative version at some point.
In that case 1TB should be the starting point imo.

Could giving it an external power prick result in that sort of weight loss? Would also reduce heat too no?
7200 rpm or noting.

SSD or bust.
Please, please fix the damn noise levels.
The current models can't handle full load or high load without breaking past 50-60dB which is insane for a gaming console. Temperatures are great, but the damn fan noise made me sell the system. Went through four of them trying to get one that wasn't so damn loud while playing for example TLOU or games with similar stress put to the system. Even opened one up and exchanged the thermal paste myself and managed to lower it by 5-10dB. Was still too loud. Impossible to keep it running during night time without getting a headache (or waking everyone in the vicinity up.) Might be effective cooling wise, but they cheaped out plenty on the solution. They should've kept the PSU external and put all that space to use for more fans.
1. You've been able to add storage since launch.Okay, I don't own a PS4, will one day, but not until next year at the earliest. I want them to add the ability to add storage so badly. That being said, how exactly does data management work. Can you full install any game before playing, can you make it so you manually delete and install every game? How is save data handled if you do not and will not get Plus?
It's really not as bad as I expected.
I installed a 2tb drive in my system and have installed 32 retail discs, all of the PS+ games, and a boatload of additional digital only titles and still have 900gb free. I purposely installed every possible game in order to see how much space it would actually require and, well, there it is.
That would double the price of a PS4, you know?
Yeah external power brick, or practically any combination of internal changes could be the cause.
This is more an example of Occam's Razor. The weight decrease matches that of a disc drive, the watt decrease matches that of a disc drive, and the amp decrease matches that of a disc drive. Without more evidence, it's most probable the disc drive was removed.

i only care if it has sata 3.
That's not gonna happen. They're not desperate, they just want to keep their lead.
The XBO dropped $50 and people scooped that up like crazy. Sony doesn't need to have a fire sale, but a $50 price drop while offering a "one-and-done" $399 package would be a good move.

Are there 2.5" 9mn with this capacity?Will wait for the 2.5TB model that will eventually come with the Super Slim
Skylanders for one only has a physical version. Not sure if there are more. But not every single PS4 retail game has a digital counter part.Well it's possible, considering Sony covered thier base by making every single PS4 retail release available on the PS Store.
This means a full digital PS4 console without a Blu-Ray drive has access to the entire library (currently) via digital download.
