Yep. It's def stolen if it's real.
I love it. the vanilla ps4 had this blocky rhombus thing going on. this one is much thinner so the angles don't make it look as awful.

Definitely real as far as I can tell. I bet this is one of the things they will show at the PlayStation Meeting.
That'd make Xbox One S the cheapest UHD BD player on the market. Would be really weird for Sony to allow that to happen.

Team real. If there is a PS4 slim, i'd expect it to be a barebones low effort job like the super slim. Neo is where the premium is at.
Because they will both release close to each other?
New redesigned PS4 family, basic model and premium model you know
But we still have to see if this particular picture is the real laked deal or not btw.
this is just the regular box of PS4,from saudi arabia.
edit
h shit,i didn't see the other photos,looks real to me.

If this is just a bit bigger than a Mac Mini that would be awesome, but it would still be hideous.

WHAT IF GAF.... what if this is actually the Neo? They will just call it PS4 like the original.
It makes sense and with only a couple weeks until the PS4k event I'm inclined to believe it. Even if that isn't a real box depicting a real console , it make sense to offer a smaller model that costs less to differentiate between the high end PS4 and the low end ps4 further.
I mean, if you were looking to buy a ps4 say this november and on the shelf you see -
299.99 bundle with game (let's say uncharted 4) , 500 GB normal size PS4
349.99 bundle with game (call of duty maybe) , 1 TB normal size PS4
399.99 PS4K, 1 TB /499.99 2TB
What would you buy ? I mean obviously you'd just get the PS4K right ? Well what if instead -
199.99 PS4 slim , 500 GB
399.99 PS4K , 1 TB
Those were the 2 main options available... well now you're seeing the price double to get the better version of the console so for most - spending 200$ and grabbing 3-4 games is a pretty good deal compared to just having a new PS4.
Only question this still leaves open - where do the normal sized PS4s fit into this pricing wise and my guess would be a 50$ price drop on 500GB bundles and a 75$ price drop of 1 TB models. On that note , whatever quantity of "normal" sized PS4's is left on the shelf right now will be it , by the end of August Sony will probably have 3-5 million of them floating around worldwide for sale so that should last 6 months.
These are interesting times ahead because buying a 4K over a standard model isn't quite the set in stone "must have" update for everyone. It's going to be positioned as something for those with 4K tvs to possibly purchase (although it's been exemplified that it's not strong enough to run at 4K for modern games) but ultimately - it's not a generational leap forward. So, IF the slim model is half the price there's a good case to be made that it will be good enough for most for 2-3 years. For those of us that bought a ps4 at launch and were never quite happy with it's performance level well, here's an upgrade for a premium price.

Pic?
When the PS3 Slim box leaked, everybody thought it was a fake but turned out to be real
Ok at the event The PS4 slim will be announced with a release date for the end of this year and then they will talk about the Neo and how much power it's going to get with a release date of either the middle of 2017 or in the fall with devs talking about power and stuff - my predictions

As I said before these people won't give two shits about being heroes to gamer geeks online.
Its about quick sales of stolen goods if real.

Between that disgusting cliff in the back, ambiguous touch power/eject buttons, and that weird antenna line-looking recess that they thought would be a great idea to put all around the console, I wasn't a fan. Havent seen the buttons or the back of this unit, but that recess looks even wider and more disgusting in the front box pictures. I'd have to tuck this behind a media center drawer like I did it's big brother.

Why would he unbox it when he's trying to sell it, this has to be stolen, how would he have a receipt.

Fake as hell. Still in the box, also the pictures are taken in somebody's bedroom instead of a warehouse or office.

I think the box looks too simple and people are just used to the normal PS4.
He gave his adress ? So police should not have trouble finding it?

If you want UHD, you have to buy Neo.

Because it's stolen. If it's real.
My text stated I wanted to see the actual console because I'd rather know if it was real before I buy it.
no it's not
