DAT SCREW :O

 

[astraycat]

I need me some Playstation themed screws.

 

[DBT85]

Oooo the first look at some internals.

Thought that piano black plastic might have something to do with the HDD. Love the screw head.

As some had previously speculated, it looks like the mainboard is hanging down from the top.

DAT SCREW :O

.

 

[matrix-cat]

Oh wow, I was wondering where the hatch would be. Never considered the whole panel might come off.

 

[a secret-boss]

launch system screws. limited edition

 

[Samyy]

hmmm Sony should sell the screws as accessories!

 

[Loudninja]

Fancy ass screw.

 

[Ouren]

LOOK AT HOW MUCH LOVE THEY POURED INTO THIS THING

 

[xxracerxx]

Look at that family:

 

[csquared587]

Im just curious, can you put an ssd in there and will it help with load times? Probably not, but it would be cool.

 

[Mesoian]

hmmm Sony should sell the screws as accessories!

They seriously should. Even for the novelty, I'd buy a pack of 50 for 20 bucks.

God, I would use them in my cosplays...oh man.

I want these.

 

[WolvenOne]

Sony screws for everyone!!

Wait, that, didn't sound right.

 

[KennyLinder]

Day One 1TB.

 

[MoeB]

Better than the day one controller.

 

[tipoo]

So close, I still want to see the rest of the internals!

Im just curious, can you put an ssd in there and will it help with load times? Probably not, but it would be cool.

Yes, just like with the PS3. Hopefully the 4 will support the latest SATA spec.

 

[level44]

Need video.

 

[Red Chocobo]

They should sell custom designed versions of that bit that lifts off.

I'd buy one that isn't glossy and matched the rest of the console.

 

[Jomjom]

If I ever lose that screw I will be so sad.

 

[kasane]

PS4 looks like the boss of the playstation mafia

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Looks pretty painless.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

So the HDD is 2.5" again right?

 

[darkwing]

DAT SCREW :O

first post

always

i wants it!

 

[Metalmurphy]

Im just curious, can you put an ssd in there and will it help with load times? Probably not, but it would be cool.

Yes you can.

 

[dugdug]

Ok. Where can I order a PlayStation tool-set?

 

[InfiniteNine]

Fancy screw there! Hopefully it's more sturdy than the PS3 HDD Drive screw.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Look at that family:

The PS3 really does look out of place in that mix.

 

[isual]

the fact that they have one physically makes me giddy

 

[TheRealTalker]

The reflective top actually does something :O

So what is that side flap for then?
Edit: that screw Top that is some fine ass dedication

 

[silver.tongue]

Okay.. look at that screw and tell that it isn't fucking adorable...

PScrew

 

[Naminator]

DAT SCREW :O

Next-Gen all the way to the screws!

 

[mrklaw]

Did they talk about whether you need to back anything up before swapping, or is the OS etc all on flash?

 

[Soulflarz]

I want that screw.

 

[TheJLC]

PS themed screws? Wow, I'm impressed with that tiny detail. I'm also glad that Sony has kept the option to change the HDD, as we already knew.

 

[Yondy604]

MY GOD THAT SCREW!

 

[Vizzeh]

Next:

Put in an SSD harddrive and let us know the results please

 

[Gigarator]

Hopefully the screws aren't as brittle as the ones in the hard drive bay on the original PS3. I had to hacksaw my own holes into those damn things just to get them out.

 

[Dranakin]

Haha, awesome screw.

But anyway, I replaced the HDD on my PS3 with a 320GB as soon as I got it back in 2008. I wonder if 500GB will be enough, because I would hate to have to swap out two years later (hassle of copying data, etc.).

 

[djplaeskool]

Im just curious, can you put an ssd in there and will it help with load times? Probably not, but it would be cool.

Yeah, you can use one. In the PS3, SSDs seemed to only really impact certain games. Most didn't see much difference, then you had games like Gran Turismo 5 that loaded SUPER quick with one.

 

[level44]

The PS3 really does look out of place in that mix.

*PS1

 

[NekoFever]

Foxconn?

How long before the Chinese slave labour blog posts start? Or is that just Apple?

 

[thesuperfunk]

DAT SCREW :O

Holy shit they are amazeballs!

 

[NoTacos]

Clicked the link and realized I don't know jack shit in German. Lol. Time to duolingo it up?

 

[Dune1975]

So is this the same type of HDD as used in the PS3?

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

Look at that family:

The PS4 is orientated differently.... the "front" is on the left, while the PS2 and PS3 had it on the right.

Just an observation.

Don't stop there, German computer site. Take the whole system apart.
