I loved the fat PS3, so premium!
That said, I loved the PS2 just as much
PS4 is ok, nothing more. Hoping for another sexy console from Sony.

You are right it is a confirmed dev kit by a dev from Codemasters.
Really surprised we are not getting more leaked info from devs if there are a lot of these in the wild.

Dev kits are being produced all the time, doesn't mean it's the final iteration:
PlayStation 3 Secrets

No one said they were, everyone did say PCB leak is fake duo to it being 1.5yr before actual console is expected to be released. But I think this strenghtens the argument that PCB leak might have been legit, and was in no way too early.

We were extremely lucky last gen with the hacked docs and SDKs.
Devs never really leak the big hardware info, for fear of getting destroyed career wise, lol. I did find out about 8GB in PS4 last gen from a dev dropping hints though.
Then again we did get entire 360 arch diagram and specs in 2004.
Sony has been touting Cell for years before PS3 as well.
I think this time its probably the tightest we seen, everyone is quite.

I prefer more similar to this:
Anw, its good to know the dev kit was confirmed. Leaks are so slow those days. Maybe Sone split out something.

i think Ps5 design will be closer to the leak, usually they make Pc towers kits, maybe they testing thermals with this design.

I hear ya.
I dont know why more consoles can't be made in a nice traditional home media casing.
Here's some Toshiba BR player I found on Google. Is it that hard for console makers to make something simple and sleek?
And if it has to be a bit bigger because a console has more chips needing cooling, then make it bigger, but still keep it's simplistic design.

And boring. But that is mass market taste. Just look at color selection on new cars, and shape for that matter.

My thoughts exactly. I had my ps3 front and center ppl use to come in and be like "what's tht it looks cool" before ps3 became affordable and mainstream. Tht bb gave me blu-ray, full Dolby 7.1 surround sound, real stereoscopic 3d and other shit other consoles weren't doing. I never regretted my purchase.

It's funny how casual that guy from Codemasters was..."yeeeah we got a bunch of those". We're not quite there yet, but the OQA leak doesn't seem so far fetched now. My opinion...
---
The dev kit might not share any design elements with the final console, but if they did retain a similar look I decided to take it to the chop shop and make a more compact consumer version for fun.
Before and after: *edit* single image with correct scaling added
It will probably end up a black box like PS2 or Xbox One X, but it's fun to guess.

Why’s nobody like it?
It looks cool, like a futuristic landing bay.

Bcus most of these arm chair analysts on here know shit. If we listened to them half of the stuff thts basically confirmed wouldn't be happening.

Maybe people want their cookie cutter Ikea basic look?
It’s definitely interesting looking for a devkit, the V-shape I am sure throws some rendition to the PS5 numeral, as well as functional, maybe.
The retail unit probably won’t be that busy in design.
I am definitely eager to see leaked photos.

No hate, I thought I did an ok job at shrinking it down and keeping some of the same elements intact. I left the "V" intake on there, too, it's just all reduced to a more palatable consumer form factor.
Right now it looks like a home theater projector...

I like it, I'm tired of the same bland vcr box designs.

This is definitely a sanctioned leak by Sony, no employee would risk breaking NDAs so blatantly.

They must be feeling pretty confident with their progress. Not complaining if this is how they are doing things.
Looking forward to actual pics.

Don't mean so much because its just a box leaked. Nothing about specs was out, so no damage after all.

That is a legit nice looking devkit. But it looks kinda small.

Its bigger than what looks at that picture.

On the contrary, Sony gave us a breadcrumb and the internet will keep speculating for the next 6 months about that mysterious cooling solution and what it entails...
They don't have to divulge specs to stay relevant in the next-gen discussion.
MS did the same thing by showing a photo of the APU die.

If you're talking about the 'internet' and 'fake news' I agree. Ignorance is a bless.On the contrary, Sony gave us a breadcrumb and the internet will keep speculating for the next 6 months about that mysterious cooling solution and what it entails...

I would say maybe 40-50% or so larger than a Sega Saturn?

Dunno, maybe close to the original PS4 dev kit or a sighly bigger. The PS4 dev kit have many air holes for decipitate heat until they figure out a better way until devs could learn about consoles.

360 didn't even have Wifi, PS3 (60GB) was full of card readers, standard Hdd, BR and standard wifi and Hdmi cables as standard. 360 didn't have none of that plus a %60 failure rate, noisy units.

Most likely, crossing my fingers for atleasst 11TF and 20GB GDDR6 (available to games)
Yeah, i saw it, hope final design reetains the crazyness

This gif was a market video from Microsoft about Xbox One S size, but the size comparison was really mislead so they change the PR.
Was really weird size comparison.

I'd love the PS5 to look like the Dev kit. Why?
- Because it beats it looking like a boring square box that can easily blend in with other entertainment units under your TV.
- Because the design looks like it leans very heavily on function instead of form (see the horribly designed PS4 Pro that is unable to get rid of the hot air fast enough)
- Because having a unit sit in your room that looks interesting can also be considered a piece of art
- Because the outlandish design also harkens back to days of old when console designs went for a bit of style as well
- Because gaming is meant to be fun and having a console that takes on some of that in terms of design (while remaining functional) is just groovy
Of course everyone has an opinon on this design but i much love it and hope some design elements (if not all) carry over to final console.

The thing is that if more people adopted console gaming, it would be able to leverage the economies of scale even more than it does currently and we could get more expensive components and R&D for less.
That includes design. Who knows, we could have a Jony Ives designed console yet...

It sure blends bad in the room but its very practicle, they will tone it down to sell more units.
