Lmao!!! ;P

So is venomfox going to buy it?

I'm buying one tomorrow.

 

[LightningXCE]

I scaled the images based off of the USB ports and optical drive

It looks to be the same width

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I really don't understand the #teamugly people I like it a lot. I am getting a Neo but like the simple matte design.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

I get that they're going for the understated PS3 slim style here, but... so boring. Especially next to the amazing redesign Microsoft did with Xbox One S. That one is actually something to display. This... you hide.

Wait for Neo.

 

[Sora the Cat]

Damn is it real? If so it's ugly as hell.

It looks beatiful to me, amazing design.

 

[Jarod McChicken]

So guys, where are those pictures coming from exactly ? Anyone have a link ?

 

[Shiggy]

Why is nobody buying it already?

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

So i don't have to go thru 20 pages,What's the general consensus Fake or Real?

Its 100% real.

A bit of hyperbole. No one cares what your consoles at home look like except yourself. This isn't like a phone or watch or anything that you're walking around trying to win style points.

I do agree Xbox slim looks better though.

This dudes 3D printer is on fire

Yeah, but still fakest thing on the internet.

This might be the fakest thing I've ever seen on the Internet. So so obviously fake.

 

[Benjamin1981]

Looks really bad. The OG PS4 design hasn't aged well and this is a much worse looking version. It's even more worse when you consider what a great design Microsoft put out of their slim console. Gone are the days of Sony as are great hardware design company.

 

[oti]

I like the design.

 

[Xbox Master The]

I thought you were convincing us all its fake.

I think the size is too suspicious for heat personally, but we'll find out in only a short time at the conference.

How do you eject a disc without hurting your finger?

Probably takes a few seconds before ejecting the disc/it won't move anywhere near fast enough to hurt you.

It has been bought.

 

[2blackcats]

To peeps complaining about the optical out, why not just use the one in your TV?

Also it might be on the side.

 

[ethomaz]

I bet it is using a shrink and cool APU in TSMC FinFET+ 16nm.

Even (some) GAFer saying to me it was too expensive to shrink the PS4's APU (bullshit of course).

 

[WhateverItTakes]

Size is fabulous. It's pretty ugly though, I liked the edges on the OG. Those PS button feet are a nice touch though, almost saves it.

Question is if the value of my white PS4 is gonna nosedive due to this guy. I still need to work out my finances come NEO time.

 

[rubes7844]

With no optical out?? Can't see that.

Being the market share leader, they're doing it. "Oh you want wireless headsets? We have this product called The gold headset" "oh you want surround sound, use HDMI"

 

[Memento]

If it is true and at $249... Jesus Christ it will sell like crazy.

 

[stump sock]

I'm leaning towards fake.

this is a good first post

 

[ironcreed]

Looks very slick. I dig it.

 

[alr1ght]

size comparison vs OG

not much

 

[winstano]

It doesn't look that much slimmer... Is... Is this the neo?

Edit. No. No it's not. I'm an idiot.

thats dissappointing. Can you do the same thing for length?

 

[Xenoflare]

The PS3's eject button is also overlapped by the disc, but yeah, I don't really like this "cutout" design

 

[KennyLinder]

If its local I'll go and buy it tonight. Is there a link to the sale?

 

[Xbox Master The]

It's a British plug.

Does the UAE use the same plug?

 

[CyberPunked]

size comparison vs OG



not much

It looks almost identical...

 

[Rellik]

Hoping the guy who bought it can post some better pics and videos with the console working ASAP

He could be worried about it phoning home the moment he turns it on.

 

[stump sock]

So guys, where are those pictures coming from exactly ? Anyone have a link ?

they're coming from the guy posting them you knucklehead

 

[blue_phazon]

Looks very slick. I dig it.

It actually looks really nice in this pic

 

[gofreak]

That would go against Sony's mantra of considering 399$ the ideal launch price for new platforms.
Something that has also been proven by the PSVR 399$ price while the competition was at least 200$ more.
Also the PS4 was a much more advanced and expensive design to manufacture in 2013 compared to what Neo is in 2016 and it still launched at 399$.
They might go greedy but I really don't think they'll ask more than 399$ for Neo, they want to sell them.

It was the only point of entry for the platform though. Neo isn't the only flag bearer for the platform, so they may split along two more polarised vectors, an entry level for the masses and a premium for the hardcore. If Neo was replacing PS4, 399 would be important. But it's 'just' a high end alternate.

I'd love it to be 399 of course.

 

[Boke1879]

I really don't understand the #teamugly people I like it a lot. I am getting a Neo but like the simple matte design.

I just think people put way too much stock in looks. No one really gives a fuck especially with it being at an entry level price.

I mean the OG xbox1 looks like a damn big VCR. People bought it. The OG ps3 was not a looker. Looks mean absolutely shit when it comes to a gaming console imo.

 

[artsi]

To peeps complaining about the optical out, why not just use the one in your TV?

Also it might be on the side.

I sometimes use my PS4 in my computer room, and attach PS4 to my DAC (which feeds the speakers) via optical, and HDMI to monitor.

With the slim I'd have to buy a TV to my computer room if I wanted to play there.

Hot damn that looks sexyyy

Doesn't look smaller or thinner?

I think I like the OG much better. This just looks like an unimaginative slab of plastic.

I'm fairly sure the mix amp for Astros do not work like that, my old ones don't and I'm sure the new ones don't either.

 

[Bgamer90]

Really ugly if true. Original PS4 looks far better. Very interested in how the Neo will look.

 

[SebastianM]

Me thinks its just a redesign to co-exist with Neo's. As folk have said, the SoC can't get that much smaller.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Sadly the need for a harddrive means I don't think we'll be seeing a PS2 slim-level size reduction. Maybe once SSD becomes affordable?

 

[Shirow]

I'm just hoping for a further price drop so I might get another one down the line.

The cheaper the better.

 

[wanders]

So not a slim

I don't think a picture beside picture comparisons works without having the two shot at the same scale.

It just keeps getting bigger! Nice comparison, might be a few CM off at the edges but hard to tell.

 

[AAMARMO]

What about the new DS4 that been rumoured.

 

[johancruijff]

Looks like an expensive cardboard pizza box
