Possibly he's found somewhere willing to pay him more than that in exchange? It'd make a very enticing exclusive story for them to run.
I had the same thought... but the DF Twitter account looks to have been dormant for a month or so now. Nothing obvious from the main Eurogamer account either. Of course, it could all have gone to DMs.
I dont think it looks bad. I do hope neo has a different design though.

It might be one of those able to buy it immediately after the announcement type things. "We're revealing the new PS4 slim and YOU CAN BUY IT RIGHT NOW".

Eww. If that's real and the Neo looks anything like it, I'll be sorely disappointed.

What do you mean SSDs don't operate with full SATA II bandwidth? In the PS4 or in general? If you mean in general, that's very not right. If you mean in the PS4, then yeah, the SATA II to USB internal bridge is a further limit, plus the single plus some Jaguar core for the OS.
SATA II peaked at up to 300MB/s. Watch your big and little B's.

A good SSD passed that a very long time ago, and even hit the SATA III/6Gb/s (600MB/s) limits, hence PCI-e SSDs at over 1GB/s.

I didn't like it at first but from that angle I like it!! PS3 slim was $100 cheaper than the fat so maybe this will be $249? Or maybe $299 and &249 for the holidays?
This will be either releasing that day, or they will open pre orders for it that day with shipping starting the week after

Yeah it's probably gone. They were cheap enough to remove all lights except the HDD light on the 2nd PS3 Slim revision

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Hey this is great news .. if its a cheaper price point I'll be more than happy to get one.

If this turns out fake it will beat out that NX controller leak by some way.
rabidrabbit over at B3D pointed out that 3 of 8 PlayStation symbol feet are slightly thicker meaning that it forms a tripod base. I would award this fake a tenth Dan if he went to that level of detail.
It is, but Im 100% sure that is not the reason this has been made. Its a device made to cut production costs and still have the PS4 available next to NEO on stores.
Keeps it cheap and competitive
He could have at least put a led light somewhere to fake it better then

Why do you need to arrange someone to do a full breakdown? Just video it on the iPhone and youtube it.

When you shut down the PS4, it shows an outline of the PS4 console right? Wonder if they redrew it to match the slim.
I dont know about others, but Im interested in how loud/silent this thing is
The biggest issue with my PS4 is that is sounds like a fucking Boeing

Historically when Sony releases a slim model, it's about making a cheaper and smaller system to manufacture and this is no different. It looks cheaper because it is.
Unlike the Xbox One S which is an improvement over the original design, this is just cutting costs to replace to replace the original model.
I bought the Xbox One S, there's no real reason to get the PS4 Slim unless it comes with a 4k Blu-ray drive and you need one.

Nope. Pretty fishy

So, chances of real vs fake? Also, any chance of 4k player? Would be weird for Sony not to have it since they specialize in media like that. As well as make 4k tvs themselves

Hot air exhaust appears to be limited to this area on the back, so it should be pushing a lower volume of air.
Not necessarily. The air could be flowing at a greater velocity which would result in the same volume flow rate.

The Philips player is $299 and comes with a movie. The Samsung player is $350 or less, actually $299 at Costco. These also have two HDMI out ports, so you can run the audio to your receiver if it's not 4k HDR compliant. These are no compromise players. Getting an Xbox One S is a bad investment if all you care about is the movie functionality.

This looks like a prototype model but could also be a special "Stealth Black" limited edition.

Still wondering if this has any CPU/GPU upclocks at all. But yeah everything is generally about cutting costs with Sony. The first PS3 actually had a pretty complicated outer shell because the top was a separate glossy see-thru panel that came off. The slim was just 2 pieces for the casing.

This just looks like the cheaper version of the current PS4 that'll be sold alongside the Neo. There's some jankiness in the pictures but I wouldn't be surprised if Sony made something like it.

But they don't make 4K UHD Blu-Ray players yet. Theirs isn't even rumored to release until sometime in Q1 2017.

You watch your big and little B's. It's pretty obvious I was talking about the PS4.
Still possible for this to be an elaborate hoax, like some small 3D printing company etc. for publicity.
I think it looks okay, thing is the PS4 itself didn't look too bad and was small enough so the improvement is not that big of a deal. PS3 Fat to Slim change was much more important. PS4 is going for <250 in Germany when you wait for a deal, hope the Slim won't drive the price higher again.

Fake?? .. you guys love your tinfoil hats, I would say No 4K, they have Neo for that, this only exists to sell more PS4's at a much cheaper price.

Why do the Slim models always get uglier? Why not keep the original size and improve the internal components like better cooling etc
PS2 slim and the original PS3 slim were pretty nice

Wow, I'm surprised at the number of people doubting this. I mean, if this is fake, it would put even that NX controller to shame - and that's the best fake I've ever seen. I mean, we not only have multiple images of it from all angles, but we also have the box art front and rear, too. And none of it's potato cam.
This would be a god-tier fake if it's not real. It surely has to be legit?

It'd be an entry model PS4 for those who want one on the cheap. The Neo is the premium model.

Some posts earlier were asking about a covered port on the rear and I think it is actually just this?
The sticker that says designed and engineered by Sony. Or was it about something else?

New tweet from shortman:
Hi guys, I will be honest. I am currently arranging for someone to do a full breakdown and video/pictures of the slim so watch this space
If this is true it may well be whoever is going to do this wants full dibs on powering it up and then tearing it apart. Just saying. I've seen a lot of teamfake appear again the last few pages.

PS2 slim was ugly with the shiny plastic strip, PS3 and PS4 are good, PSone's by far the best.
PSone > PS3 slim = PS4 super slim (need better pics) > PS2 super slim > PS2 slim > PS3 super slim
Slim models are made to reduce cost. Making the footprint smaller reduces the cost on material, shipping, and warehouse space.
