More than likely what was going to happen anyways, since Neo is the big news.
For a very small chunk of the population. And if you have a nice DAC for headphones, you can get one of these for cheap

Sony going in on eradicating the Slim from YouTube:

Reality is an illusion, everything you see with your real eyes is actually a photoshopped image.
The real PS4 Slim -- if you could actually perceive it -- is a two ton railway carriage, filled with rabid baboons and bat guano.

Me too but I've always wondered, does the amo/reciever add input lag?
When I eventually get Neo I was contemplating setting up differently to avoid adding input lag.

Oh wtf I thought it was kinda ugly yesterday but that's because I thought it was just a plain square box. It's not though, it still has the slant to it like the original PS4. Nice. I like it.
Same here, it looks really good.
It's growing on me.

As long as you have your receiver not do any video processing (use pure mode or straight mode, it's called different things) then it doesn't add any input lag at all
It might be the way things are going, but it's a bit of a pain as I use a dss2 for my headset which requires optical.
Looks like audio extractor it is.

Man, if this was $199 itd sell so many consoles but I'm gonna go with $249 since it's still just 500 GB inside
Black Friday will have like this with 3 games I guess for $249
Tempted but I'm still sticking to my red PS4 for now
Maybe I'll change for Neo

Looks slimmer I guess.
Nothing to write home about.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Damn .. that looks so sleek. Almost as good as the PS2 slim. With a vertical stand I can imagine this neatly standing next to my TV.
Anyone got any mirrors for the video in OP ?
If it is not announced, it will get more attention, this was planned.
199 isn't happening. I read that the new Xbox cost 243 to produce, so the Ps4 slim will be cheaper and 249 sounds like the sweet spot.

Aren't the PS4 chips a lot cheaper due to not having that expensive ESRAM on chip, though?

Cheers I'll double check that tomorrow.
On topic, can't say I love or hate it. I reckon it's pretty neutral. What I'm really looking forward to is Neo and their respective pricing.
Would be insane if slim hit the $199 mark. No uhd in particular is making me think they just might.

If it uses optical, yes.

I'm impressed by the size but it's still kind of ugly. Plus the loss of Optical removes a few options for my audio setup.
We'll see how the power consumption figures look.

That's the change they are going to make to the DS4? That's the 1 change?

I don't think they are packing the Slim/Budget PS4 with a new DS4 with new bells and whistles. Probably saving that for the Neo

Bundling a high-end DS4 with Neo is the stupidest thing Sony can do...it will jack up the price for no reason.
Premium DS4 should be sold separately.. Like elite controller.

$249 seems obvious but that's a big price cut over the current. Plus they are dominating so I think $299 with pack in games is better from a business perspective, I don't think they need to be too concerned over the 4K XB1S.
A lower price could help show the difference between itself and the Neo though, depending on how good that turns out to be.

If there are other (quality) changes, they wouldn't be visible.
And the controller shouldn't be getting drastic changes aside from quality improvements.
You never tie up peripherals with the console. The peripherals must always be available separately, as they have the best profit margins.

I liked it since the first leak pics... Hoping the Neo have similar design.

I really like the look of it. But I'm not spending money when my OG PS4 is doing perfectly fine.

Seems like $250 could be the price point for this one.
That being said, any chance the Neo getting a $400 price tag?

I think it looks better than the OG. Hopefully the Neo is the same design but fatter.

Seems like the light bar on the touch pad isn't a "new" light bar so much as a cut out so the light from the existing light bar is visible from the front of the controller.
Yeah, if they go to $299 and the Neo is $399 that would look a little silly, even if the slim had a bundled game and the Neo didn't. So either it'll be $399 Neo/sub-$299 slim or $499 Neo/<=$299 slim.

I don't think there is a war here. One S is getting sandwiched between the slim and the neo.
Unfair.

Yea I believe it'll be sold separately but I can also see a bundle with the Neo
Which could be alarming as the PS4 has to be the worst quality console I have ever owned, looks great from afar.
Hopefully they have a way to keep it quiet, for the hate the XB1 gets here it's size makes it absolutely silent
No optical makes it an easy decision for me as my receiver doesn't have HDMI anyways lol
It'd be great seeing what Sony thinks about the leak. Why wouldn't they just announce it already.
What a useless post.
What a useless post.
But seriously, Sony didn't intend to sell you the Slim. They target the Slim for those who don't already own a PS4.
Wish they would announce it. And..lemme buy it!

Anyone know the story behind how this happened? An unboxing video before the console is announced is pretty bizarre. Sorry if it's been posted, these threads move so quickly.
Sony is going for a surprise announcement for a "buy it now" release and these systems are already in transit to stores. It's in the wild and Sony is still silent.
