Support NeoGAF

[gamz]

I wonder if this does HDR and 4K films.

Nothing on the box says that, so that'll be what the NEO has to offer.

New users being force to aside, why would an existing XB1 owner "upgrade" to the slim if there's no real advantage to it over the OR? 360 Slim was thinner(much) and had less DRE issues.

360 SLIM was slick, allowed more memory etc.

XB1 Slim has...............???

Of course, it'll sell to the new guys like hot pancakes.

XB1 Slim doesn't ship with a GameCube as a Power Brick. It also has 4K support for movies (I think).

Internal power brick, UHD support if you have a 4K tv, and a very slight bump in performance in games. Red Dead Redemption on the S actually holds performance better than the base Xbox One, it has been great.

Edit: God dammit

 

[Vashetti]

umm? you post from the wrong account?

Xbone S has HDR10 and 4k Blu-Ray/streaming support.

*woosh*

 

[Boke1879]

For those still thinking it's fake. This is pretty elaborate then. At this point you'd have to prove to me it's fake.

 

[FearlessBelgian]

Not bad the Frenglish at the back of the box... LOL

Fake !

Our thread... we created this for the greater good. Haha leave them to it. Neogaf and this thread and Marmo should be credited at least. He's the original box leakers for crying out loud.

"The seller provided to Polygon these unboxed images of the new PS4. The unit appears thinner and its edges are rounded, unlike the squared-off corners of the original design."

That could be true... at least Jason at Kotaku linked to this thread in the first sentence of his article.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I don't think Sony expects that many people will be "upgrading" to the slim.

The Neo is the upgrade, the slim is a new standard and a cheap entry point.

People around here have a hard time understanding when they are not the target market for something. Look at any thread with Greatest Hits boxart.

 

[Raiden1018]

That shit is fucking ugly ! Since when did Sony design ugly hardware ?

-d0hv

 

[SomedayTheFire]

The Slim likely won't due to the heat from the fans lowering the framerate.

:lol please stop you're embarrassing yourself.

 

[Venom Fox]

I just find it rude. It isn't like it is hard.

Exactly! Kotaku did credit though so props to Jason! (I got mixed up).

 

[hemo memo]

Real as expected then.

It seems UAE area gets a fair bit of leakage. Early games etc. If this has found it's way to the UK, are the channelling SCEE through central shipping areas?

Perhaps like shipping vanilla consoles to be encased in the right outer box and stuff with the right leaflets inside, latest FW etc.

Must be stolen goods if it is a console intended for the Middle East.

Not this big.

 

[gcubed]

*woosh*

yes, COMPLETELY over my head

Only £295?

 

[Gasian]

does the regular PS3 has optical audio out?

Yes

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Guys, the optical plug. Where is it?

 

[EVA UNIT 01]

Any sites picking up on this yet?

 

[Toadthemushroom]

Business as usual with PS Slims. Since PS3 at least.

True, though the circumstances surrounding PS3 meant you could at least sympathise with the evident cost cutting, even the smaller things like the removal of the little iconic rotatable coloured PS Logo, and Chrome disc drive from the PS3 Fat (the 40GB and 80GB models no longer had the chrome trim but a plastic finish).

I guess investors need to be pleased. Nintendo cheapened up the Wii with a version that didn't stand vertically and had no GC ports because of the strengthening Yen, for example. But it's still a shame that we no longer have an industrial design to truly appreciate.

Neo being a "high-end PS4" should mean something more special at least!

 

[SebastianM]

*woosh*

Joke detector is on an all time low around here, dont even try lol.

 

[somecrazymember]

I think people coming in, saing 'fake' didn't see the new pics..

Can OP update?

 

[Jaagen]

*woosh*

I guess you were tryng to parody the other poster, but it kind of fell flat when a slim version of the Xbone allready exsists with known improvements.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Guys, the optical plug. Where is it?

I've got some bad news

 

[spiky]

It doesn't look good compared to the OG. What's with the placement of the buttons? It would've been so much better if the buttons were front facing and the box was more symmetrical (like the OG).

That said, I'm totally cool with this "slim" model if it means that Sony is launching this soon and going back to the drawing board for a > 5TF Neo in 2017.

UHD playback and.... Oh you are just playing copy pasta.

The XB1 had much to be improved upon compared to the PS4, though I like the One S more but I think it also has something to do with the XB1 being disappointing

 

[The God]

It will compete by being cheaper and having a better game library

You expect the Slim PS4 to be cheaper than 299?

 

[nekkid]

This seems more like a 360 E situation, than a 360 S.

 

[ethomaz]

*woosh*

People really felt by the parody

 

[Leedogg]

Any sites picking up on this yet?

Polygon and Kotaku...

 

[Boke1879]

People here always seem to make that mistake. This redesign probably has the benefits of a slim though. Quieter, less power etc. But Neo is the upgrade.

This is the new, cheaper and standard PS4.

 

[Volotaire]

Guys, the optical plug. Where is it?

I'm sorry I'm the one to break the news but...

 

[damstr]

Fake. Its not possible to make the original PS4 any smaller really it's already small

Do you know how anything works at all?

 

[Vashetti]

Guys, the optical plug. Where is it?

It doesn't exist.

 

[Muzicfreq]

There is a possibility that they made it ugly/cheap to lower price and also to push people towards neo

I mean just look at that ps3 retro bullcrap they pulled to slim it even more

 

[Duxxy3]

Controller looks the same and they're removing outputs. I'm all set.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

The position of the USB ports don't really make sense from a motherboard perspective.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

I guess you were tryng to parody the other poster, but it kind of fell flat when a slim version of the Xbone allready exsists with known improvements.

Bad joke or not there may be some under the hood adjustments that aren't plastered on the box.

 

[Bsigg12]

Guys, the optical plug. Where is it?

Looks like they dropped it, unless the panel thing on the left side of the picture with the ports is hiding something.

 

[Jaagen]

People really felt by the parody

Yes. I guess some of us did.

 

[L.O.R.D]

Yes

so now they got rid of that port? why?

 

[Venom Fox]

Every time I look at the slim I fall a little bit more in love. It's cute!

 

[RedAssedApe]

Didn't this also get "leaked" the same way? Someone just went out and bought it in the wild? Man that thing was fugly Lol

 

[Visualante2]

There's no way Sony is holding a press conference just for that piece of junk either.

 

[N.Domixis]

But you'd think they would design the Slim with 4K media in mind to compete with the One S.

The word ps4 on the box is all they need to compete in most of the world. Neo is for 4k.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Well if it's going to be like $200-250 and Neo Sony is going to kill it this Holiday season.

dude DUDE.

Imagine if they sell this thing for 199 cause of lack of UHD BR.

NEO is gonna be their big 4K push i guess, and this thing of for significantly slimming down the components of the OG PS4 for major cost savings?

 

[Voror]

Looks alright I guess, though I wonder even more how the Neo will look. And if this is releasing soon, could we also expect the Neo to launch this year as well as had previously indicated? Or could that plan have changed?

 

[AAMARMO]

Good guy Venom Fox.

 

[Kyoufu]

Surprised Sony doesn't already have Ninjas taking care of this.

It's Sunday. Ninjas are at home with their families.

 

[Armadilo]

yeah that looks like it's going to be super cheap $250 to 300

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Still team fake on this one.

NX leak burned ya'll good huh?

This is real. It's a cut-price, cookie-cutter revision to sell to masses at a cheap price and with cheap production values for more profit. People who are claiming it is ugly and that there is no reason to buy one are missing the point entirely. Sony doesn't want current PS4 owners to buy this. They want them to buy a Neo.

This model are for those people who consider the Apple TV enough games console for them. It's the exact opposite of what Microsoft is trying to do, which is win back the hardcore they lost to PS4.

Anyone who doesn't see the potential to sell this especially with PSVR is a moron. Simple.

This is the beginning of Sony's attempt to regain the PlayStation casual market. The Neo is for the hardcore.
