Support NeoGAF

[mollipen]

did they ever sell those colored ones outside of japan? all i remember are the ugly game themed ones that were like slapping on a decal.

Sadly, no. Got mine from Play Asia. I keep thinking about also picking up the blue cover as well before they get hard to find.

 

[phanphare]

He made a few in succession and I just quoted one of his. It's clear above I'm aiming the ire at Polygon, I even half defended IGN as they've just taken Polygons word.

ok but here's the post you quoted:

Cheers Jason amd Kotaku for not crediting me or Neogaf for the leak...

to say this:

What did you expect? "Journalists" read GAF, copy/paste onto their site and then cite "sources". Gotta get those clicks.

Can't be giving the game away that their viewers could cut them out altogether by just visiting GAF.

so it's pretty clear how someone could think you were talking about kotaku and not ign or polygon because the post you quoted mentioned kotaku and neither ign nor polygon

I'm seeing unconfirmed rumors that the release is Sep 14 and Neo is being held until March.

Source? Not like this

I'm seeing unconfirmed rumors that the release is Sep 14 and Neo is being held until March.

where ?

 

[MilkyJoe]

For a standard revision without any enhancements, yeah. No one is paying £1k for this.

A one off unreleased console? What happens at CEX and eBay at new console launches?

 

[Audioboxer]

hm

Nah

Do you have multiple personalities? You were clearly calling out Kotaku. Own that shit.

Jeez? Do we really need to get that defensive?

Jason, I know you credited him. There! No harm was meant to you. Read my other posts above. Not sure what else to say but sorry!

 

[offshore]

I don't understand. How did these sellers get their hands on them? Sony must have been planning a reveal sooner than their sept conference right?

Stolen either in transit or more likely with knowledge of a location of where they're being stored.

 

[oRuin]

I like it, looks sleek and love the basic look. Hope it has an upgraded wifi chip for all the people who use it. I say it's probably real.

 

[Deku Tree]

After you hit the eject button the disk is gonna smack right into your finger.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

So when is the seller getting a call from Sony's lawyers?

 

[Inuhanyou]

Did you break the story?

I broke the story, it was all my idea! I deserve all the credit!

Not. I'm just saying that gaf should be mentioned instead of acting like we don't exist when breaking info

 

[TotalMackerel]

It HAS to have a UHD player right? I can't see them actually releasing a different model barely any smaller with no additional selling point.

Seems to just be a replacement for the current model. Neo will have the new features.

 

[Brix]

Yeah I'll keep my original ps4. Thanks for the leak Gaf. You guys the best!

 

[InsaneTiger]

This is amazing.

 

[KillerMan91]

I guess traditional hard drives are the biggest limitation nowadays when trying to make these consoles smaller. SSDs are still too expensive also.

 

[Dragon1893]

Was inclined to believe it was real when I saw Greg's tweet, not surprised to see it confirmed.
Not a fan of the design, the round corners aren't doing it for me.

 

[gcubed]

After you hit the eject button the disk is gonna smack right into your finger.

do you hold your finger there for unknown reasons?

 

[RedAssedApe]

I don't understand. How did these sellers get their hands on them? Sony must have been planning a reveal sooner than their sept conference right?

stealth launch or maybe just sending out stock to retailers early similar to how some people are playing games a week before they release.

 

[10k]

I'm seeing unconfirmed rumors that the release is Sep 14 and Neo is being held until March.

Wasn't the very first neo leak from back in April rumored that neo would release Q1 2017? This would lineup with that.

 

[CloudyTuba]

I'm seeing unconfirmed rumors that the release is Sep 14 and Neo is being held until March.

Oh I hope not. I want the Neo by Christmas. I know early reports said q1 2017 but for the past few months ive been hearing earlier.

 

[Persona7]

I don't understand. How did these sellers get their hands on them? Sony must have been planning a reveal sooner than their sept conference right?

Sony probably started shipping them out.

 

[foxbeldin]

Looks ok. Not interested in buying it though, my og ps4 is small enough and does the job.

 

[Darryl M R]

How slim could the Neo be if it forced everyone that bought it to only buy PS4 games digitally?

 

[Toadthemushroom]

From the PushSquare post:

Yeah, those aren't nice plastics at all.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

IGN to be fair just took the Poly bait

Polygon could deserve a ban for that shit. Purposely lying and stealing a GAFers work.

Chill Jason I'm talking about Polygon, no need to call me a moron.

Hardly lying.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

I don't know if the buyer is aware, but you did something illegal. Police might coming to you.

The plastic looks even cheaper somehow...
Not much smaller, but the PS4 was already small enough to begin with.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

I will be over there either Monday or Tuesday, so we'll see.

ahhh i want to pick one up but 300 pounds is a little too much for my taste

 

[RedAssedApe]

legacy gaming headphone users who needed the optical are crying

 

[Venom Fox]

Please link a source for the Neo delay. I hope it's this year! It was to be my birthday gift.

 

[Boke1879]

So when is the seller getting a call from Sony's lawyers?

only a matter of time. You have to wonder how he's getting them

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

I'm seeing unconfirmed rumors that the release is Sep 14 and Neo is being held until March.

Oh god. No. Please lord.

 

[Xenoflare]

That makes me wonder, will this ever have a 1/2 TB version? If so will the highest capacity version cost more or less than Neo? Will Neo have multiple storage skus?

 

[IgotElbows]

I'm seeing unconfirmed rumors that the release is Sep 14 and Neo is being held until March.

No... I wanted a PS4 for Persona 5. I can't wait for a NEO for Persona 5. That's an extra month...

Please no.

 

[KingBroly]

I guess traditional hard drives are the biggest limitation nowadays when trying to make these consoles smaller. SSDs are still too expensive also.

disc drives are the biggest limitation

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

where ?

I think it stems from the Gumtree seller saying it was due in stores in three weeks. 21st August today plus three weeks = ~September 14th?

I think the 7th now though.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Neo not till March? Bah, I can wait just like I'm doing with X1S with Scorpio.

Delayed for spec bump?

Edit: guess it can't really be delayed since it was never given a release date.

 

[kennyamr]

Yep. Great ... "journalism".

NeoGAF is a way better source of news than those two websites.

 

[Karspankey]

HDD port on the side? What's in the back then?

 

[Asd202]

Well if Neo is getting delayed to March it's probably getting a performance boost.

 

[WillyFive]

"Slim" and it's still pretty massive. Same with the still massive Xbox One S; I don't think neither Sony nor MS know how to make an actual slim and small console.

 

[Carl]

I'm seeing unconfirmed rumors that the release is Sep 14 and Neo is being held until March.

Publicly announcing a more powerful version of your console that won't release til next year sounds like a GREAT way to make your sales rubbish for this christmas

 

[RedAssedApe]

From the PushSquare post:

Yeah, those aren't nice plastics at all.

og ps4 has pretty cheap hard plastic too. thing is always creaking when i touch it lol

 

[Guymelef]

From the PushSquare post:

Yeah, those aren't nice plastics at all.

It's the same plastic as PS3 Slim and PS4.

 

[DeathSparks]

If that PS4 Neo leaks before the event on September 7th, Sony will be like... ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[KingBroly]

Oh god. No. Please lord.

Why would it be so hard to believe? Sony would probably want to counter NX in some fashion.

 

[rubes7844]

I don't know if the buyer is aware, but you did something illegal. Police might coming to you.

I sure as hell wouldn't care how my hamburger was made, just as long as it's on my plate.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

Jeez? Do we really need to get that defensive?

Jason, I know you credited him. There! No harm was meant to you. Read my other posts above. Not sure what else to say but sorry!

Maybe if you acted in a less vindictive manner, you wouldn't have to hold all these Ls

 

[ThatOneGrunt]

Sony probably started shipping them out.

Right. So then they probably planned on revealing this with an article instead of at the NEO conference in September. That makes me think this console has zero new features like HDR or UHD support. It's just smaller.

 

[Floody]

Wonder what that outline bit on the edge is supposed to be for, hard drive maybe?
