Can't believe the guy is going to have it teared down after spending £300 on it but it is his decision.
I can't imagine Sony will be pleased about this. Has a unannounced console ever been teared down before?
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 wonder if Digital Foundry are trying to get their hands on it. Saw him tweet DF, but can't find the tweet he was responding to.
Looks hideous (on top of using yet another slot drive). I should hope the Neo looks better.
I dont buy it. If theres a box then that means there must be a truck full of these that must be ready to ship next week.
SSDs don't operate with full SATA II bandwidth so that's not even the bottleneck, it's soft-capped. SATA II is already more than any magnetic 2.5" drive requires.
I used a ruler tool to measure the relative thickness (along the full thickness of the left diagonal edges) and the super slim comes to approximately 147 units compared to 217 on the slim. So it's about 67.7% the thickness.
Hopefully a rear USB port
Or the camera Aux port
doesn't seem to have a place for the bar light :/
I like that little light notification thingy, wonder if it's just gonna be a blinking light now instead of a bar somewhere on it.
This will be either releasing that day, or they will open pre orders for it that day with shipping starting the week after
Wtf is wrong with him lol
Getting that fake vibe
Doesn't look that much smaller tbh.
He could only make the case on his 3D printer :^)
super slim foldersWhat would you all expect to see if he posts a video of it running? The normal PS4 OS?

When you shut down the PS4, it shows an outline of the PS4 console right? Wonder if they redrew it to match the slim.What would you all expect to see if he posts a video of it running? The normal PS4 OS?

Nope. Pretty fishyBack, missed like 10 pages
Did the guy release any footage from the thing actually running?
Hot air exhaust appears to be limited to this area on the back, so it should be pushing a lower volume of air.
Why do you need to arrange someone to do a full breakdown? Just video it on the iPhone and youtube it.
The S is still the cheapest. Doesn't yet support bitstream through the player (so no Dolby Atmos yet), but MS has said that's just a software update and it's probably coming.
There are two standalone players right now, a Samsung and a Panny, but both are more than the S.
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.
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
You watch your big and little B's. It's pretty obvious I was talking about the PS4.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.

PS2 slim and the original PS3 slim were pretty niceWhy do the Slim models always get uglier? Why not keep the original size and improve the internal components like better cooling etc
It'd be an entry model PS4 for those who want one on the cheap. The Neo is the premium model.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.
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
EwHonestly for a redesigned PS4 I would have been ok with them reusing the original PS3 design again. Real talk.
PS2 slim was ugly with the shiny plastic strip, PS3 and PS4 are good, PSone's by far the best.PS2 slim and the original PS3 slim were pretty nice
Slim models are made to reduce cost. Making the footprint smaller reduces the cost on material, shipping, and warehouse space.Why do the Slim models always get uglier? Why not keep the original size and improve the internal components like better cooling etc
