Support NeoGAF

[BigEmil]

If this is real I'm disappointed. I would like to buy a new PS4, other than PS4Neo, but it would absolutely need to be at least 1TB.

So, if real, what are they doing? 500GB still isn't enough. It wasn't at launch, it isn't now.

Well it being 500GB will allow it to be cheaper and also easier for you just to swap it with a 2TB hard drive and use that spare 500GB drive for anything you want.

 

[ArchedThunder]

PS3 slim wasn't cheaper

I thought the PS3 slim came right after a pricedrop that was meant to clear out stock and be the Slim price.
EDIT: Yep, I was right, it was a $100 price drop the month before the Slim came out.

 

[Bojanglez]

The Xbox One S is replacing the launch models (that's why so many places were doing fire sales before August). Once those systems are gone, the S will be the base model. Just like the PS4 Slim will be replacing the normal PS4, except for some reason Sony didn't give it 4K support.

Presumably they have done their research and found that the people buying the budget version of a console 3 years after it originally launched aren't the same people that care about 4K.

Probably the same reason they are only putting in 500GB. It's probably the people that are buying most games on disc.

Everything about this console is about them being able to win on price.

 

[DemoCracy]

It's really such as a compressed PS4 with WinRAR :|

 

[wapplew]

No 4K support confirm? Base on the box?
That doesn't sound like good idea going against Xbox one S,

 

[Venom Fox]

The claimer won't open the box and also won't just do a video to prove that it's not photoshopped.

Interesting...

We've known this since 2 pages in.

Interesting...

Interesting...

Who opens a sealed item and advertises it as new? Aside from Gamestop that is.

 

[Visualante2]

The 2015 fake is completely unrelated. Can't you see there is a difference in the design? Box has curved edges. 2015 fake is all hard edged.

 

[rubes7844]

uh... PS4 has been USB 3.0 since the start.

Ah fuck. Then what the shit, Sony? I thought they were 2.0

You seem to have a vested interest in attempting to disprove this.

Interesting...

Sony don't want to give hackers an avenue to open up the system.

 

[gofreak]

Not sure what to make of this.

The PS3 slim leak was pretty shady, initially, and turned out to be real.

Then you have things like the NX faked leak that seemed very credible.

Hard to know these days. A box would be easier to fake than a console.

 

[Calm waterfall]

There´s a precedent that the slim leak before the announcement, so i think it is real.

 

[crinale]

You seem to have a vested interest in attempting to disprove this.

Interesting...

Lol I thought the same.

 

[FelipeMGM]

I know Sony does not talk about rumours, but if this is fake, they sure would have to say something even before September 7 right?

LMAO thats from january

January 2015 even

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

If its real, I'll buy an Xbox One S till Neos since 4K blu ray is a sticking point for me.

 

[dmr87]

I get PS3 slim vibes from this thread.

 

[gofreak]

If it is real, it seems smaller than I'd have expected from the controller and console are 1:1. Though the angle of the photo might be flattering it's size.

 

[Boke1879]

No 4K support confirm? Base on the box?

I honestly don't think it matters truly. Neo will have that, but this is just an entry level PS4.

 

[Equanimity]

I'm slightly baffled after reading the first two pages. What on earth is so ugly about the semi-new slim design?

 

[ethomaz]

The claimer won't open the box and also won't just do a video to prove that it's not photoshopped.

Interesting...

If I'm the seller I may do the same,

Sorry but I won't open a box of a product I'm selling... it is crazy.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

I get PS3 slim vibes from this thread.

Glad I'm not the only one.

The claimer won't open the box and also won't just do a video to prove that it's not photoshopped.

Interesting...

Quit while you're behind, friend

 

[alr1ght]

That thing is hideous. It fits in quite well with the hideous PS3 super slim.

 

[Inuhanyou]

No 4K support confirm? Base on the box?

i think its just to get a significant price cut going, if it is real. They want to save all their 4K enhancement features for NEO i guess.

But i don't think a slim is a good idea even so with NEO coming

 

[Fret]

I'm slightly baffled after reading the first two pages. What on earth is so ugly about the semi-new slim design?

yeah, looks fine to me. its essentially the exact same design.

Why not ?

EDIT consoles pic seem real .

 

[The Last One]

This looks real.

Fake then?

The age of arrogant Sony is back. Why improve when you have 40M in the wild?

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Ehhhhh...Iiii hmmm idk lol mixed. Them buttons tho..

 

[Fret]

looks great, and also very small

 

[yohan12]

MEGATON!

 

[mikefrails]

I'm a fan of dropping the gloss every time.

 

[N.Domixis]

oh shit, now I am not so sure.

 

[Electret]

WellThereItIs.gif

 

[UnluckyKate]

Ps4slim at 50gb? That will be very aggressive entry price. 250$?

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

looks good

 

[statham]

Oh snap!

 

[Hip Hop]

this looks amazing

 

[Vinc]

Looking good actually, though I do still prefer the original design. I wonder how much smaller it is, would love to see comparisons. Also would like to know if a USB port is in the back this time.

 

[dragonzdogma]

Oh

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

E3 is ruined. Again.

 

[wapplew]

I honestly don't think it matters truly. Neo will have that, but this is just an entry level PS4.

UHD Bluray player under $300 is good selling point.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Well a lot of people here now look like idiots.

#teamIntrigued

Skeptical points:

• random user leak
• just the box
• not the first time someone has tried to send fake images of sony products to Colin & Greg
• i've seen very impressive fakes before that featured hardware

Plausible points:

• anything can happen
• i think it looks cool
• person is atleast aware of packaging design
• subtlty

I'll believe it when Kotaku says it's real

Edit: i type slow... That pic looks real. and it looks sexy.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Fuck, he opened it....

 

[dealer-]

Damn! I like it.

 

[netgrimoire]

FAAAAKKK, I love the design. I wonder how loud it'll be though.

 

[Venom Fox]

 

[Bitch Pudding]

So, that's that, I guess.

 

[Mohasus]

Looks so ugly, especially when the Xbox One S exists.
