You've waited this long. Might as well wait a little bit longer.
We'll see if the urge to play Bloodborne and Metal Gear trump this.

I bought the current model just before this one was announced and I have no regrets. I don't think it's noisy at all.
I'm not doubting that some people experience this.There's defintely a variance in sound, plus certain games cause the fan to get louder than others.
Killzone for example causes the fan to ramp up.
I went through a few ps4s and would rather wait, as the new revision specifically states it is quieter.
However if I still had my launch ps4 which was quiet then I'd have no interest in this new revision either.
I'm not doubting that some people experience this.
However, I played through both Ground Zeroes and The Witcher 3 which, according to a thread on here, are "hairdryer" level noisy when played on PS4 and I noticed nothing despite usually being quite sensitive to these things.
Mine is a White 1102A.I'm agreeing that there are quiet units. I bought a black one on launch, and traded it in for a white one, BIG Mistake. It honestly sounded like a hairdryer.
My launch unit was very quiet.
Mine is a White 1102A.
Good news!
The CUH-1216a version is available in europe. In the Netherlands exactly. I've bought mine yesterday at mediamarkt in Rotterdam. Some other users at the tweakers.net forum spotted te new version across the country in other mediamarkt stores.
I try to post some pictures of my console as soon as possible.
Is the box art different?

Well, I know this sounds weird but I have super sensitive hearing. I use "extreme protection" hearos earplugs all the time and I can still hear background noise.
New one seems slightly more towering and epic. More in focus.old one:

What's the price G?
I didn't ask. I called 0208 363 7509 (game) based in Norh London and got one of the guys to look at the boxes out the back, he thought I was a bit odd lol.
Feel free to call them, game deals are the same nationwide in stores.
Nice. I live in North London (Enfield).
I'll be in town so I'll swing by.
Just learn to ignore it. I have a neighbour who's constantly complaining about a dog barking every night. I used to know what he meant but now find it puzzling.
My plan is/was to trade in my launch model for a white version of this new one. Seems like with it not being treated as a big new redesign the staff in Game might give me an odd look if I walk in and ask for that deal...
Well what a small world, Enfield is my local game lol.
They close at half 5. Hate going to the palace gardens shopping centre, traffic on A10 is always fucked especially on. Friday afternoon, but I need that console lol
If you get a staff member that tries acting dumb, ask for Gareth, he'll know what you're talking about.
Holding out for Amazon and their superior customer service!

I'm jealous.
Did you go in there and ask them?
The new box doesn't have a handle does it? The original or rather the older revision has a white handle on the box, so that's a way to tell from a distance, obviously you can just look at the model number written in the box, and also the image clearly shows a matte I steady of shiny hard drive cover.
I wonder if the U.K has it yet,
Out of interest is it quieter than the original PS4, or is this the first PS4 you've had?
For all we know Amazon may already have the stock in their warehouse, I wouldn't risk them yet though, as on the UK site they aren't differentiating between the "c chassis" and older "b chassis" like Amazon Italy, and there's no way of getting the warehouse to pick you out a specific one.

Will the Destiny TTK bundle have the new model or will it be the old one?
The destiny TTK and Metal Gear Solid limited editions will both be the latest revision. Buying either of those is a 100% guarantee of having the latest revision.
Damn! Any news for France?
Would be cool if I could get one for the weekend...
might have to switch if it's considerably quieter.
.
Is the new model with its slightly lower power consumption worthy to upgrade or won't it bring much improvement?
Gonna check a few stores later this afternoon. Will let you know if I come across them.
