I saw the new LE MGS5 console in store today and can confirm it has the new mechanical buttons. The color looks much better in RL than from the images.

I thought it was confirmed to be the old model in Europe?
Did it have the dimple?
So does this model fixes the eject disc issue? (It was randomly ejecting my GTA 5 disc once a day and I had to unplug it to make it accept discs again. Since then, I haven't played a physical disc game.)
I've been waiting for the 3.0 update to (potentially) fix this. I still have a warranty until March, but I shouldn't really have to send something back to get it fixed. Even after the fix, I've read reports on the internet that it still could do it again. Brings back bad memories of the infamous RROD (it isn't as widespread) and I'm not made of money.
If I have to buy a newer model to fix it, I'd just sell my ps4 and get something else, maybe a 3DS. Sorry if I come off as glum, but I don't like getting burned on things that have taken months to save up for.
Are you talking about the eject button issue where it gets pushed up?
Where it actually just ejects the disc randomly because of how the connection between the button and the inside works. The newer model until fixes this (apparently).
Is it safe to put these PS4 on a book shelf? I'd say the shelf would be one of these:
It'll will have plenty of room either side but it does back on to a wall. Maybe if I angle it?
I don't want it to overheat but at the same time I'm trying to keep it out of reach of my daughter
It's probably fine since the shelf is so open, but the air does blow right out of the back of the PS4. The back is angled so even if it were pressed all the way to the back, there is at least some room for airflow.

i know it sounds crazy but what about on top plenty space and plenty air and out of reach
i'd avoid blocking the back of the ps4
I forgot to check, even so it wasn't obvious.Did it have the dimple?
They had the model unboxed and out on the counter. Dude even let me press the buttons on the front to confirm it was the new model.I thought it was confirmed to be the old model in Europe?
I caved in and got the new model PS4. Its so much quieter for me. Can barely hear the thing lol. Its alot lighter too than my launch PS4. Buttons are not touch sensitive anymore.
Happy with my purchase so far
What about standing it vertical with the stand if there is enough clearance you can then put the bottom against the back of the shelf. Will take more space though but at least airflow can be managed.Is it safe to put these PS4 on a book shelf? I'd say the shelf would be one of these:

Is the Taken King the 1200 model in the US?
I picked up a new model TLoU bundle from Target today and didn't see a dimple

I kinda hate to ask this again but is there any word on the MGS5 PS4 being the 1200 for all european territories? I kinda feel the urge to last minute pre-order one but they don't specify which model it is.
So a question about the new model. I have a white PS4, which sounds like a vacuum cleaner every time I join in for game in Last of Us online. Vacuum cleaner sounds like an exaggeration, but it really isn't. I've tried to stand it vertically (with the stand), on a laptop stand and on my work desk. Doesn't matter, same problem. As I have 18 month old twins and my gaming space is very close to their bedroom, when the machine gets really loud my kids wake up to the noise. Not always, but even once is too much. And it really makes gaming annoying or hard to enjoy. Especially because I only have time to play after my kids go to sleep.
So the question: is there a guarantee that this new model will be more quiet, or is it again 50/50 chance like with the original model? If I could count on it being more quiet, I would go change my PS4 next week with the MGS bundle. I love everything this console does, but the noise level is ridiculous.
From what I'm seeing its more of an 85/15 chance for the new model to be quite/loud. Several vids are showing up showing a much higher consensus that he new model is indeed quieter.
Just picked up a CUH-1200 model at Target in the Chicagoland area today. They had a 15% off deal for all PS4 systems, so that was pretty sick.
Will report back in on noise levels next week.
New news, new thread?

The New 1TB PS4 is Still Using Old Hardware
This has actually been known for a while now.
'doh. >.<That is not new news.
All new models are 500GB.
Did some extensive testing with the new cuh-1200 I got. Its significantly quieter then the launch ps4 I had. Its only a tad louder then my xbox one which is beyond excellent!
Also the plastic on it is of better quality then the launch PS4 I had, very please with it and love the all matte look!
I highly recommend grabbing this new model!
Kind of a pointless test. My two PS4s both took months to get really loud. They were near silent the first few months regardless of the game.Did some extensive testing with the new cuh-1200 I got.

What kind of testing and which games did you test? Biggest offenders from what I've seen are Rocket League, Bloodborne, TLOU, infamous, to name a few.

Is there a GameStop where you're from? If so you'd do a LOT better buying a new 1200 model from there because they sell a 1 or 2 year replacement warranty. If ANYTHING at all is wrong with the system they'll replace it with a new one right there in store. I day this because I do not do not do not recommend using Sony's warranty repair service. It's not good I promise you.Selling my launch unit right now to get a white 1200 version. With my luck it'll be just as loud if not louder, but I just have to try. Can always just return the unit if it doesn't work out and do without the console. Tried to play music on Spotify today while playing advanced warfare. My god, I had to put the music to "make your neighbours angry" levels to mask the fan
Edit: if the new unit gets loud you can just send it in for repairs right? So that'd be easy enough actually when you get screwed again. Then again; Sony never came through for me in any way, shape or form
