I always end up accidentally turning the system on when I'm cleaning it and this would eliminate it completely. Very nice addition.

Why do they always do this?
I think the question is why do they keep making the electrostatic ones then changing back to mechanical?
Nobody ever complained "oh man I hate my new console with it's OLD GEN mechanical power button

Cool thanks. So the buttons are actual buttons now. And the LED doesnt illuminate across the entire band?
I'm glad I have my glossy original but I'd like those mechanical buttons. The static touch ones it has now seem kind of finicky and dont always register as easily as I'd like.
Interesting that the glossy cover cannot but used on the new one but the matte can be on both. Early adopter's exclusive I guess.
Start off with it then. It sucks for the people who appreciate the HQ parts then all of sudden we get cheap looking and made materials.
This is the only thing that matters right now. Bring on the 4k output with hdr support.

The first model is usually the 'premium' one to attract and reward early adopters, then with further revisions they cost-save by using different components.
Buy the original ¯\_(ツ

This is false...only the ps3 this is the case, that was because it ws 599 and not selling well. They had no choice. 3 other of their consoles that has never happened.

Damn, I was wanting to get a PS4 this week. Guess I'll wait for this. Hope it comes out before SFV beta.
The most important change here. No more auto-ejecting.
What does this mean in regular English?
Buy the original ¯\_(ツ
Obviously it's being replaced with the new model.
I wonder if they've done anything to the DS4 too. They really shouldn't be trying to make anything cheaper on that.

Opps my bad, didn't know that.
You can't just touch the buttons to turn on the console or eject, you actually have to click them like a regular button.

They do already but literally all of them look like shit. Unless you like video game logos and key art.
What was removed on PS1 and PS2? All I can recall was a couple of USB ports and PS2 BC being removed from PS3.
Aaah I see, thanks. I don't own a PS4 so I never really thought about this, but I can see why it would be annoying.

wager price drop in time for fallout? I can bet the price drop will be there to compensate for less exclusives this fall

Eh, my launch is running fine. Will wait for slim and hopefully a gray color.
The current PS4 uses capacitive buttons for power and eject. These are the same kind as smartphone touchscreens. There's a sensor which detects the electrical charge of your finger when it touches the button.
The problem with the current PS4's buttons is that they are super sensitive and can be triggered by static electricity or other objects. A lot of people were having a problem where the PS4 would constantly keep running the eject disc procedure even when there was nothing in the drive. On my PS4 I think the heat from the console was causing the rubber foot under the eject button to expand, pressing against the button. Once I removed the foot it stopped happening.
With the new mechanical buttons, a person will have to physically push the button to close a circuit. This means no more unintentional presses by brushing your hand past it, and no more annoying ejecting issue.

Yeah, fingerprints, but Jesus Christ, how much do you need to touch the console during normal use? Pretty much not at all.

Fuck I should've waited. This would be perfect for me but there is no way in hell I can justify buying a 2nd PS4

And there's that white one for NA.
SOB.
SOB.
PS1 removed standard RCA ports and replaced them with a proprietary port.
PS2 removed a port from the front (that nobody used anyway) and hardware DVD playback (needed to install software to a memory card). Pretty minor stuff, but still.

Why they don't have any on the back of the console is beyond me. Hate having the damn Wireless Headset dongle sticking out the front of it all the time.
They could be getting better yields and using less voltage and/or move over to a better node that is still 28nm (like HPM). There are no big 20nm chips in production (apart from Intel...) so I think it would get a lot more fanfare if that was the case.
