[Tribes of Trusty]

If there is one thing the whole fake NX controller leak taught me, is that nowadays it is really easy to fake something.

So Team Fake for me.
Edit : well, until proven otherwise

 

[Audioboxer]

The guy started selling things 2 days ago after being a member for 4 years. And in 48 hours he's listed 3 iPhone 6s and a PS4 Slim.

If real chances are its all stolen stuff lol. Might work in warehouse storage or know someone who does.

UK GAF take a chance! I'm in Scotland so too far for me.

oh dear

I do photoshop editing for a living and I'm not seeing much of anything in these photos that makes it jump out and scream fake. Gradients all seem legit, no obvious photoshopping. There's some sketchy noise around the PS4 logo, but other than that looks legit.

CUH-2016A

 

[Boke1879]

an announcement of a slim model at the Playstation meeting it's out of the question imo. Cheaper PS4 that could possibly be sold for $250. Then they announce the Neo model to be sold for $400-$450

 

[Leona Lewis]

If that box is real... no mention of 4K? That would be a stupid move, unless they are targeting a much cheaper price than the current PS4.

Why assume the internals are any different?

 

[Servbot24]

Too ugly to be real.

Really? I think it's fake but it's a nice design.

 

[matrix-cat]

3 weeks from today is the 11th? So Sony would release the same week of announcing more or less? Doesn't sound right.

These console refreshes usually are an 'in-stores now' kind of deal. You don't want to announce a new console and not have it out for months; you're basically telling everyone not to buy your current console until it comes out.

I seem to remember the Xbox 360 E was available to order the day they announced it.

 

[zsynqx]

Seems legit

No way this is fake now #teamreal

"it's too ugly to be real"

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Anyway, if it's real, it looks good to me.

Edit: Oh it looks very real now. Someone must have gotten a display box or something.

Okay very likely real... and stolen stock.

 

[qatak]

I know right or for fuck sake take a video, the damn camera has one lol.

This is way too elaborate to be a fake. I'd bet it's real

 

[Venom Fox]

I've text him. Someone else text "adam".

There was speculation that there might be a PS4 Slim and Neo announced.

 

[Hip Hop]

I feel like they are targeting two different kinds of demographics with each system that it won't eat each others sales.

 

[deleted]

Could be real..

I can see Sony releasing the Slim version as the new standard and because of that they won't have to drop the prize, because it's a new model.
Neo will be premium prize at launch.

Similar to the 3DS to New 3DS transition.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

If that box is real... no mention of 4K? That would be a stupid move, unless they are targeting a much cheaper price than the current PS4.

If it's real, it's for PS4 Slim, not Neo. I think Sony would make the very much the 'budget' option, so 4K Blu-ray may not be likely. Who knows. The Xbox One S 500GB is quite cheap still.

 

[Caffeine]

idk looks legit but there are some discrepancys as others have stated.

 

[Jake2by4]

If real, where the sony ninjas?

 

[Mellahan]

Yeah, this is definitely real. And I like it. Very minimalistic design.

This seems interesting, especially the CUH number.
Could be legit maybe.

 

[KingBroly]

Why the pics of the box and not the console itself?

[SebastianM]

Fuck, it's real.

What is it with Sony designers?

 

[Jarod McChicken]

This is supposed to be the PS4 slim, not the PS4 NEO

 

[zsynqx]

Well....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_B65J86D_8

But yeah, I think this one is real.

 

[Kyoufu]

Possible back of the box

No mention of UHD Blu Ray? There's no way Sony wouldn't include it when Microsoft did with the S.

 

[N.Domixis]

What if this is neo?

 

[Backfoggen]

Man, if Sept 7th is just about the Slim + PSVR..

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Cautiously tiptoeing to team real.

 

[K' Dash]

Knowing Sony's history with slim models I'll just keep my Uncharted PS4.

 

[Elysium-777]

Not a fan if it's real. Original PS4 has some class, this doesn't. Then again, so did the PS3 until the Super Slim came out.

 

[GeoramA]

That looks pretty legit. So it's just a smaller version of the launch PS4? This better be cheap as hell.

 

[Eylos]

Someone ask for pic of the console

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Both of the Gumtree listings are from 4+ year old accounts that started selling brand new iPhones and iPads THIS WEEK. They're likely real, but the stock is stolen.

What if this is neo?

This isn't Neo.

 

[Digital-Hero]

This reminds me of the PS3 slim thread 7 or 8 years ago. "Fake" "Fake" "Fake" and it ended up being real.

 

[Audioboxer]

Why the pics of the box and not the console itself?

To keep it sealed? Chances are its stolen stock and they just want quick sales not hype at being the idols of online gaming messageboards.

 

[Hip Hop]

No mention of UHD Blu Ray? There's no way Sony wouldn't include it when Microsoft did with the S.

Another incentive to upgrade to the NEO I guess, for those that want it.

 

[fr0st]

Oh snap.

 

[Armadilo]

$250 PS4 Slim- only price , Right ?

 

[chrizzz09]

#teamreal

Can't wait for the reveal in 3 weeks!

 

[BY2K]

After the NX controller fiasco. Team Fake.

Show us the damn system.

 

[Y2Kev]

BEGIN THE CROW

 

[big fake]

Is it 40% smaller?

If not then its already dead to me

Spoiler

/s

 

[recklesscognition]

Someone ask for pic of the console

That's no fun.

 

[Boke1879]

I feel like they are targeting two different kinds of demographics with each system that it won't eat each others sales.

Yup. The slim model would be out immediately imo and then about a month the Neo model gets released.
