Who was drinking the Miller Lite and Budweiser? Not only did Boyes bring the PS4 and DS4, he also brought the Blue Moon it looks like.

 

[Apath]

I thought so at first, but look at the can and the bottle beside it. They are perfectly parallel to it. Must be a weird camera angle or lens distortion.

look at the edge of the PS4 relative to the edge of the cans.

just the camera angle.

Ahhh okay. I don't plan on standing mine up anyways, but if I'd ever choose to that would've discouraged me. Major crisis averted.

 

[Pwn]

Quick, do the first PS4 teardown analysis!

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Is it not actually on an angle?

It's an illusion since the corners are slanted. It makes you think the console is slanted since you take the top into account as you size it up. Cover the top.

 

[hesido]

That's.. tiny!

If I was Sony, being the evil corporate genius that I am, I'd make it bigger at first so I can roll out a slim version later on without even having to shrink processes.

PS4 is the new flask.



Aw man you have the avatar I'm using...

i made mine a few months ago! not sure how you missed it.

 

[MrHicks]

buddweiser and miller lite
americans drink anything with alcohol in it don't they?

 

[BAW]

How did they manage to cram so much power, so much RAM & a PSU in such a tiny package?

 

[Acidote]

What's that from? And why is everyone wearing plaids?

 

[SmokyDave]

Why would you buy beer in 330ml cans?!

How did GB crew get a PS4?

BTW september launch confirmed is that hardware finalized and working?

BO1SE-WONDA was there

 

[Seep]

Looks about the same size as the slim which is crazy considering the jump in power. Any DS4 Impressions in the vid?

 

[Lime]

Damn, it's pretty small.

If you think about how thin and small we can get laptops these days, it sort of makes sense. The APU is based off AMD's Jaguar core, something designed largely for the low power laptop market so it should have a relatively low TDP.

If you think about it as a laptop without the screen (of course, it isn't - but it is a decent base level comparison to make, I think), with more room for a higher TDP, better cooling, and generally more room - it makes sense.

Nah you rather have one model that sells for years ! The 3 slims of the PS3 only show how messed up the hardware was at launch in the first place.

 

[Sblargh]

Evilore goofing around, but I actually want to know how the new controller feel like.

The PS4 slim will also be the Vita 2.

It's so tiny. I thought those comparison diagrams were mistaken.

Hope the launch model doesn't end up with cooling issues.

Thumbs up.

 

[MEsoJD]

Can you really call that beer? :3

Anywhoo love the size.

 

[plainr_]

Budweiser and Miller Light. Gross.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Lol I dunno why, but somehow this only makes the beer cans look ridiculously huge to me, as opposed to giving me a sense of PS4's slimness.

Impressive smallness

 

[Metalmurphy]

The design under normal "conditions" is kinda growing on me now.


I found it really ugly on the 3d renders.

 

[LiK]

Also, PS4 looks better vertical.

 

[jabuseika]

I want to see some one try that with the XBone, and lose a body part in the process...

Also, link to timestamp where Boyes brings out the PS4:

[Alcander]

Console is tiny. Pretty impressive engineering!

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Ah, I want to see it hooked up with lights on and everything....

 

[Tokubetsu]

There is so much plaid in that room.

 

[ryuzaki57]

terrible taste in beer.

This

 

[Creaking]

Excellent model and size! This thing is smaller than my slim, and I can set it on it's side!

Mark Cerny and the engineers at Sony clearly have some sort of degrees in techno-wizardry.

 

[Booshka]

Beer snobs, they had shit beer because dozens of people were coming in and out of their set drinking free beer. Blame CBS for not fronting the money for locally brewed craft beers for everyone who passes through.

Also, Jeff likes pretty shit beer.

 

[MikeJAMoran]

This

The GiantBomb guys are actually quite snobby about beer... stuff like this they get in because it's cheap, I think! Normally on Unprofessional Fridays they have Newcy Brown.

Two Rivers Pomegranate Cider or nothing.

 

[Mister Negative]

you know what makes you seem like a cool fun-to-hang-out-with person?

hating on cheap beer on the internet

 

[Typhoon_Ex]

But how does it compare to a pint of Guiness?

 

[blade85]

LoL! The edited evilore gif is hilarious!

 

[waypoetic]

*clicks thread*

*scrolls, scrolls, scr...*

THAT'S EVILORE FLIPPING A PS4!!

ahahahahaha newcastle brown, are you serious? even the hobos wont drink that rats piss here in uk

 

[Monado Blade]

who won?

 

[driver116]

Tough choice - do the beers come with DRM?

..the PS4 looks better outside of the promotional shots. Which is good.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

Miller Lite and Bud are hardly beer

 

[Robertto]

PS4 vs 3 beer cans is the kind of coverage that only Giant Bomb can provide

 

[RiverBed]

How heavy is it? I think the OG PS3 was 5kg or something. This thing looks tiny!

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

As soon as I saw the thread title and before I saw the beer, I knew people would criticize what they're drinking. Then I saw the beer for myself... Out of all the beer that exists in the world, why drink those two?

Also, I am super excited about how small the PS4 is. I know it's weird to be excited about its size but there is just something really cool about a small, powerful console.

 

[pslayer666]

Awesome. PS4 is not the size of a submarine, confirmed!!! ^_^

Looks smaller than the phat ps3 too, which is great.

 

[DBT85]

2.8kg apparently.

Almost the same as a PS3 Slim

Thanks Wario! Was looking for it.
Starting to see why everyone is crazy over GB. >_>
