Yes it is. If you can let us know how it is in the noise department that'd be great

In store or online?
I'm sitting about a meter away and it's barely noticeable, it's quieter than the Wii U (the only comparison I can really make). If you sit further away I doubt you'd even hear it. This is whilst Bloodborne is playing (disk version too).
Online (click and collect) with that deal they had for 3 free games.

That's great to know man. In the past few days I don't understand why but my ps4 is getting louder and louder....again...this being the...hell I lost count. Anyway the 1200 model couldn't get to the US any faster!!!

My man.
Will receive mine Saturday, it actually departed from south of France, not Spain. So depending on where you live you could receive it real quick.

That photo looks fake as hell.
Square box, black border on game's boxart. What the hell.

Did you watch the video? The guy works in retail and has actually seen one.
Got mine from Tesco less than a week ago, wonder if I can swap for a 1216...

I watched it yes. He says he saw one, okay. It's bound to come out in the US obviously, but there's something really off about this picture to me. Do PS4 boxes look like that in the US ?

Probably the angle. Are you really saying you think he made that mock up? I've watched a couple of his vids before and he comes across as a really genuine person.

Nah. Went and checked how boxes look in the US, which I should have done first. That's how they look, my bad.
I would have liked to have a bundle with just TLOU here in Europe, don't know what I'll do with a spanish copy of GOW.

Just wait. Clearly Sony are keeping pretty quiet in order to shift what is left of the old stock, and of course to give sales a slight boost by finally officially announcing the Matte version.

Well.. I wish I could have. But it's too late now lol
Maybe I'll give it to someone on GAF, what the hell.

Hmm,no handle which is a tell there because the Japanese ones didn't have a handle either. Box does look weird though.
Why would Sony remove the handle? It's going to be awkward for people carrying it.

The box that the hand is holding in the picture looks too small a box to hold the system, its cables, the controller and whatnot. It might be one of those cardboard boxes that just lay around at electronics stores or Gamestops to be like Hey PS4s Are A Thing, you know?

I'll take it off your hands haha

That's what I thought it looked like too.
Has there been anything pointing towards this new model getting the 1tb treatment this holiday? I want to get a ps4 this fall or spring but don't want to have to buy a replacement HDD right off the bat, because 500gb at this point is worthless to me.
Mine is to arrive on the 13th or 14th... Please, post a feedback when you receive yours so that I can get a better idea of what to expect...
Hope I'll be able to resell GOW 3 even with a Spanish cover ^^°

Figures, I should have waited. I really wanted an all matte PS4, not going to buy another one though unless this one breaks.

Well that explains the box then. Guess they're cutting costs in as many places as possible. I noticed on toysrus.com they had a last of us bundle labelled as new right next to the same bundle, so new model? Newegf still had a Last of us Bundle with the 1215a model number in the description too.
one review here claims to have the newer model.

Still no ssd to test load-times?

Totally forgot about that! Didn't they revise something on the motherboard that it should technically be a lot faster?

Dafuq? Just came across this. Not sure how much truth is with this since they don't say where its being sold and no pics for proof.

You're talking about SATA III maybe ? Anyway, no they didn't improve anything on that front. Just different memory configuration, and different heatsink.
So I've managed to cure the sound I was getting.
I bought some of these (more info here http://www.acoustiproducts.com/en/acoustifeet.asp)
To my surprise it's actually made a difference, the buzzing or "wheeeee" sound I could notice before has now diminished.
Just wanted to say I bought these on your recommendation. They cut down on noise dramatically. The PS4 is not silent but now even after two hours of Rocket League it's the same volume as idle before the feet. It's super quiet, even in an enclosed space

It was deduced that the SATA II to USB 3.0 conversion might have been removed and might lead to an improvement in SSD (or external USB drive) performance but I think there's some other artificial cap in place.

So to be able to tell anything really we'd need some benchmark testing done. Until then it's only speculation and also on the less likely side of improved speeds.

Thanks for the full recap Shin-Ra, I didn't know about all this.
Just received my unit. You can immediately see they cut down the costs of packaging as much as possible, including on the inside inside. Feels much cheaper.
The HDD was a Seagate Momentus if anyone's wondering. I swapped it with a 750gb WD Black.

Automatically adjusted in cart. The 369€ is before the 20% discount on all PS4s
Doesn't your total bottom right state 300?

Yeah. And that's why we are so anxiously waiting for somebody to actually test the SSD performance

So like the rest, if you've had a chance to test it out how is the noise level on the console?
=( Your cheapass Dutch MediaMarkt is unfortunately not celebrating with us, so sad, 300euro for that is a great deal.
