Do you really think they'll make a PS4 Pro Slim?

I think it's down to one factor - will PS5 be released in 2019? My guess is no, so a PS4 Pro Slim for the 2018 holiday season would make sense. But if yes, less so.

 

[V2Tommy]

It actually looks pretty good. I don't like light-colored consoles of any kind so this works well.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Anyone else think this needs to be a lighter see-thru? I can’t even see the inside components as is, just looks like a tinted console with blue streaks

 

[AlexxKidd]

IDK man, the jury is still out on this one. Hung out to dry.

I came here for the Pro, I stayed here for this.

 

[PuppetMaster]

I like it. But I already have a pro. Maybe I will try to get just the blue controller though.

 

[theHFIC]

i'll try to get one to replace my current PS4 Pro, but I am not going to like get up in the middle of the night for a pre-sale or wait in line for one of these things. Definitely going to try to get one of those controllers though for sure.

 

[thelastword]

Looks pretty slick, glad more PRO's are in the making since there have been shortages since launch worldwide, that and the spiderman bundle should be a good number of PRO's available in the coming months....

First to a 1 billion systems wins Halfway there, yet, that's alot of systems innit...

 

[onQ123]

Do you really think they'll make a PS4 Pro Slim? I think they'll just go straight to PS5. PS4 Pro was already niche.

Why wouldn't they make a PS4 Pro Slim? if they move to 7nm it will reduce the size of the power supply & so on so it would only make sense for them to make the PS4 Pro smaller.

 

[camelCase]

People really hating on this? It's gorgeous. I just hate them for the fact that the controller isn't pack in, like dude, come on. 500 euros and you can't pack in that nice ass controller. For . Shaaaaaaaaaaaame.

 

[taizuke]

What's the price?

I'm pretty sure it comes with that special controller also, it's just that it can also be bought separately for a limited time.

Yeah, lol.

Just like the UC4 one, and the 25th anniversary. Both sold separately as well if someone wanted a matching set, or did not score the console but still liked the controller.

Oh ok, nvm. Controller looks so sweet.

 

[lukilladog]

It´s underwhelming, like how many neurones were killed copying this idea of a transparent console?.

 

[CloudStrife_ca]

Sony makes the worst special edition consoles.

Generally yes but I actually like this one.

 

[llien]

I'd buy "silent cooler edition".

 

[DonF]

I like the design, I don't see the relevancy of the colors, the connection between the design and 500 mill.. but still, cool looking console and accessories

Blue is PlayStation's color, and they did this Midnight Blue for 10 million back with the PS1.

Then the PS2 one (just after the 3 types of 50 million edition consoles).

Oh nice!! I didn't know... I'll call it "milestone blue"

I remember the PS1 I'm not sure if I seen the PS2

 

[DeepEnigma]

It was Japan Only I believe, and it came just around/after the time of the 3 pastel PS2's to commemorate the 50 million sold.

OK

[Grinchy]

Damn, I actually want this...

 

[God Enel]

this is so fucking good!! 10/10

 

[brap]

And it still looks like an ice cream sandwich. Gonna need a redesign before I buy one.

 

[zombie_gamer87]

I'll probably only buy the controller if it's available separately.

 

[Revas]

I was thinking of getting the Spidey bundle but I'd love to get one of these instead. I wonder how hard it'll be to get.

 

[Ulysses 31]

The look is starting to grow on me, maybe I'll get one and put one of my spare 4TB SSDs in it.

 

[Dargor]

If the number shown in the little placard in the video is accurate, there will be 50k of them.

 

[Humdinger]

Looks good to me. I like that color better than standard black. I'm not forking out $500 for it, though.

 

[DigitalScrap]

This one I LOVED. This is by far the best they’ve ever done IMO.

[Zok310]

IDK man, the jury is still out on this one. Hung out to dry.

Are you fucking kidding me

 

[Basoes]

I don't care for Destiny anymore but I think the Destiny PS4 is the best one

 

[Rambone]

This looks really really good. I might pick up one of the controllers if I can find one.

 

[Macrotus]

I wish it wasn't so glossy. I can easily imagine you'll see lots of fingerprints all over your controller.
Why couldn't they go with a matte finish... Then I personally would have loved how it looked.

 

[Revas]

If the number shown in the little placard in the video is accurate, there will be 50k of them.

I guess my question is, with 50,000 available how many hoops will I need to jump through to snag one.

 

[Bryank75]

Would have been the perfect design for a water-cooled Pro.... super silent version. That would be the best upgrade.

Those images are computer generated not pictures of a real model. It seems like a fan concept.

If sony doesn't do anything about it, the real question is how many scalpers you can fight at once lol

 

[Orpheum]

Looks cool. I'll wait for the PS5 however. My base PS4 still does the job

 

[//DEVIL//]

Does anyone know where we can preorder ? Or when for that matter ? I want one and I don't want to pay ebayers extra

 

[petrus91]

Dude I totally forgot about this one. That was simply AMAZING back then, unlucky me not having the possibility at the time. Much much better than the white SKU.

 

[TimFL]

I don‘t know, why would anyone buy this other than reselling it later on? This is afaik 100€ more and looks worse than a normal version. You‘re better off buying a bundle with a game included imho.

 

[CD'S BAR]

i'd get that controller separately.

 

[LucidFeuer]

Ugly by all means, but I like the idea of bringing back translucent. Only PSone did it right, in fact that was considered one of the few console modern art piece alongside the Gamecube back in it's time, that time is far, faaar...

Also that packages makes no-sense: bundling a Playstation camera for what? What about a second move controllers with it, or instead a second dualshock, or heck even a PSVR if they're including a PS camera...?

 

[Ulysses 31]

For those in Spain, it's up on Amazon.es for 499 Euros.

 

[Breakage]

The minimalist translucent packaging that the console comes in looks very smart. The actual console: not so much. The triple-layer Pro is an ugly console. It's a step back from the more angular, sleeker original PS4. And the placement of the iconic light bar on the Pro still baffles me.

 

[TLZ]

Shame it's the Pro, I think the standard PS4 model has a nicer design. I laughed at the "premium blue bag"... it's just a bag.

I kinda felt it was a dig at Larry. But maybe it's just me.
