Are they gonna do a full teardown? I want to see the PSU and the fans to have a better idea how the cooling works. This machine is so small and looks perfectly designed.

Teardown tomorow, I'm looking forward to it, I must be such a geek.

Yo that screw has a clearer message than the entire Xbone Marketing campaign

Shots Fired with %100 accuracy !!

 

[boredandlazy]

So do we actually know what type of 2.5mm drive is installed? Wasn't there a rumour that an SSHD was installed to begin with? At least being in Australia I can wait for USA impressions of the final retail model before I decide what type to buy...

I'm going to wait at least 6 months before changing out my HDD. That will give plenty of time for people to find out what works best.

 

[lucius]

I've got a 5400rpm 1GB HDD in my PS3.

Could I take that out, and put it in my PS4? Then take the 500GB one from the PS4, and put that in my PS3?

Assuming PS4 is 5400rpm again.

That's what I plan on doing, if it turns out those hybrid drives really make a big difference after some have tested it with PS4 I will buy one of those down the line on sale. I never had those pop up issues I seen videos of like in GTAV digital, stuff like that is pretty bad but both my systems are Slims so maybe that has something to do with not having those problems.

 

[Wynnebeck]

DAT SCREW :O

HHHNNNNGGGGGHHHHHH

28 MORE DAYS BOYS!

 

[Valnen]

The love that went into designing this system is made clearly evident by that screw. I need this system now.

 

[tipoo]

Gotta love Teardown Fridays.

Any bets on if the heatsink and fan will be fairly standard this time, or balls out custom?

If the process for transferring data between consoles on the PS3 is anything to go by, you're in for a world of hurt doing it that way.

The way I see it, is if the PS4 contains a 7200rpm drive I'll buy a bigger one of that. If it contains a 5400rpm drive I'm buying an SSHD(as all SSHD's available in Australia are 5400rpm). I don't think it's possible for SSHD to negatively impact performance is it?

 

[Cels]

how many people are planning on both upgrading their internal ps4 hard drive and also using an external drive (when support comes, won't be available at launch)

still undecided tbh

I don't see why. If I did the internal it would be at least 750GB. I don't need multiple terabytes on a console. And even if I did, still one external drive would suffice. Although I guess one with enough money to burn would still want a fast internal SSD for load times, and an external drive for movies etc.

 

[mrpeabody]

I may actually put a SSD in this thing before I put one in my PC. What is wrong with me!?

Something's wrong with you, for sure. In a PC the difference is night and day. In a console it's much less.

 

[Revolutionary]

HDD is still 5400rpm? Hm... guess I'll be swapping in that Momentus XT sooner than I thought.

 

[Replicant]

I couldn't see what's the big deal about the screw when I first read this thread on my iPhone. But now I'm on my desktop, HOLY TRIANGLE! That looks like one quality, expensive screw.

 

[Teletraan1]

That screw is adorable. Your move, Microsoft.

They already tried to screw us with DRM.

Tell that to digital GTAV owners..

7/10

 

[artist]

I have a boner right now ..

 

[DirgeExtinction]

Look at that family:

*tear* So beautiful.
It'd probably look better with the PS3 Slim(not super Slim), with the matte finish and all.

 

[npa189]

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the PS3 quite a bit faster wiith SSD/SSHDs? I'm thinking a 1TB SSHD should go in there at 12:01am on 11/15 for my PS4.

 

[qa_engineer]

They might as well send me a ps4 with a stripped screw.

 

[Seik]

DAT SCREW :O

I said the same thing when I saw it.

My god, Sony, you know the right spot!

 

[Quasar]

how many people are planning on both upgrading their internal ps4 hard drive and also using an external drive (when support comes, won't be available at launch)

Has Sony even said they will support external drives?

 

[abstract alien]

I accidentally clicked on thread as I have no plans to swap drives, and I leave infatuated with a fucking screw.

 

[firehawk12]

Hopefully the new screw isn't as horrendous as the stupid blue screw on the PS3s.

 

[Silurus]

Same here. Day one swap to a momentus xt hybrid drive.

 

[nikos]

DAT SCREW :O

Exactly what I was going to type.

 

[snipah]

isn't that a good question to throw @yosp?

will keep you updated... hopefully he picks it up!

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

So, why is the mobo mounted upside down?

Air flow? Gravity assisted blast processing?

 

[KaYotiX]

Omg, this means customisable panels

Yeah because faceplates really took off....

 

[Konosuke]

So that's where it is! Haha, so cool. And that screw...how can a gamer not smile at that? It reminds me of the Vita's rear touch panel. So cool!

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

So we get to see PS4 naked tomorrow? Can't wait.....

 

[Chamber]

Has Sony even said they will support external drives?

No but I hope they do given the amount of 50GB games we're going to have. A year or so from now when PS+ is in full swing, 500GB or 1TB is going to look rather paltry. Hell, it already does.

Yeah because faceplates really took off....

Not sure why I laughed so hard at this. Might be the post + avatar combo.

 

[Sakujou]

loool DAT SCREW!!!!!

btw. why does THIS NEWS MAGAZINE ALREADY the ps4???
that page... is exceptionally the worst...

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

Someone needs to make an aftermarket part that matches the matte black of the rest of the system.

 

[spwolf]

isn't that a good question to throw @yosp?

probably 7mm like PS3.

 

[Ephemeris]

day one procedure.

 

[Mondy]

Went out and got my 1TB today. I'll never have that many games installed at once to fill that thing.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Take off the panel and "FOXCONN" staring you in the face. Spray some luminol on it and see the bloody fingerprints from assembly!

And tear stains!

 

[hardvibes]

Wow...dat screw!

 

[Silurus]

Pretty sure it's 9.5mm

 

[Melchiah]

Went out and got my 1TB today. I'll never have that many games installed at once to fill that thing.

I'd probably fill that easily, as five years of digital purchases and about two years of PS+ have filled my 320GB easily. So much so, that I've needed to delete games to make space for more, and postpone downloading some PS+ offerings due to the lack of space. Now, imagine +5 years of PS+.

They started with the teardown

[gruenel]

Zum Start eine Info zum Geräuschpegel der PS4. Bisher lief das Gerät nicht unter Volllast. Im Menümodus war die Konsole nicht zu hören – ein deutlicher Unterschied zur Playstation 3.

They say the console didn't run at full load yet, but in the menus you can't even hear it. That's nice. Bodes well for silent movie playback, since movie playback only uses very little resources.

Great to hear.

i can't wait to see the interior of the PS4.
