I like how sites like IGN and Polygon aren't banned for this shit but Dualshockers is and it's the only site to have properly credited Venom.
Eh there is. One it prevents blocking of vents. Two the gap is also there for vents so that they are not visible. If anything it is more minimalist than the patterned side and top of a xbox one
How can anyone look at this and say it is more "simplistic" or "clean" than a slit
going as far as calling somebody stupid for thinking the slit/gap is minimalist. I mean really. There is far less functionless design on it than any other console. The gap you see on the PS4 is there on the original Surface too it serves a purpose while keeping the design minimal.
Everything about the PS4 design is to keep that minimalist look. Hidden ports hidden slot hidden vents.

Is the belief the Neo isn't coming out this year anymore?
there really haven't been any credible rumors at all pointing to a release window for Neo. nothing's changed
Not a fan of how rounded in the edges it is, rounded edges should be an ergonomic thing for handheld objects, but for set top boxes it's not nice looking (except the Nexus player which is basically a circle)
Don't mind curves at all, love LOVE the look of the PS3 slim, but this slim looks like a weighing scale to me.
Keeping my original PS4 cos it goes really really well with my Sony HTS (which is fucking beautiful) and I'm excited for Neo which I think will look sharper and more expensive.
I like the PS logo on the top though and the size aspect, nice touch
Edit: I mean...?
Something just seems a bit fake about it

DualShocker got banned after they posted a ton of fake E3 rumors a year or so ago.

If all the cuts (2 usb only, no optical, no UHD, cheap plastic) makes possible to release it at 249$... It's a HUGE win for Sony, they'll remain the cheapest new gen console on the market, and when you're already the most popular... it's huge. And it's still the most powerful console on the market, in front of an Xbox One S which, yes, can read UHD but for gaming is still underpowered (not a lot, I know, but it counts to people...) compared to the PS4.
And not a lot of people have a 4K TV, so the "4K" thing of the XO S won't matter much for people who want a new gen console, and possibly the most powerful and popular.
Even at 299 it would sell well, but 249 would be a big hit from Sony I think.
Anyway I think it's real but I have still doubts, for exemple:
- No optical out is very weird to me... It costs that much to put it? Even the cheapest PS3 has it... I mean even the PS2 and PS2 slim! Weird decision (and personally I need optical to get 5.1 on my old surround system, if I get through the TV it's not real 5.1)
- Only 2 usb is weird too (I guess that the port that looks like a USB in the back of the console is the PS camera port, if not it would be weird that you can't plug a PS camera to the PS4 slim since it's a must have for the PSVR...), I heard that the Chinese leak said 3 usb port (but maybe he though that the PS camera port was a USB, why not)
- A 3D printer can totally do that. The fact that the thing is physicaly real doesn't mean that real hardware is in it.
- And my biggest point, the one that makes me doubt (all the other ones are not that big) is WHY THE HELL the guy who has the console doesn't release a video of it? Booting a disc? Putting a disc in the tray? I mean even if you don't have a good camera, just a phone is ok and uploading on youtube if you don't use a very good quality is pretty fast... I mean this guy has a console that hasn't even been announced, it's almost a never seen before situation (it is?), how can you just sit there and "oh well, whatever"?! That's WEIRD to me, really.
But yeah I think it's real after all.
249 is an excellent price point. Or atleast i think so. For the 500GB
bet this uses literally the same wifi chip
My glossy OG PS3 looks like crap now. I'd be ashamed to display it proudly. Honestly consoles are all better tucked away anyways.

Not a fan.
Hopefully someone spent some actual time with the Neo.

It looks good. It's clean and simple. If it was glossy people would be all over it instead of calling it ugly. Gloss=premium/classy, remember that.

its been confirmed that polygon got the pics from the seller not neogaf
It would be nice for it to cost that much. It's imo the perfect price for this console especially with the Neo coming out. If Neo is $400 and this is $250 is shows a distinct gap in the two.
Revised model is the entry level for the mass consumer market. Neo is for the enthusiast market but cheap enough for someone if they want to make the jump.
I expect the Slim to be almost identical to the OG specs wise.
Close enough to make trade-ins a valuable route to a Neo as well.
Yea I'm fully expecting this to be $300, but hopefully Sony surprises us. It's about time the PS4 had a substantial price drop and with Neo coming out soon this gives them the perfect chance to do so.

I'm sad the light bar is gone. I might get one if this doesn't sound like a jet engine when my room gets hot.
If this doesn't do 4K, as indicated, then it means it will be pretty damn cheap. Pretty big price drop incoming
AND
It paves the way for the Neo being labelled the PS4K as it will be the only PS4 that can output 4K video (and the odd game).
As far as design goes, seriously in the comparison shots it is clearly way slimmer, surprisingly so. Still looks damn good to me. More simplistic but keeping the same design language with the functional gap for USB ports and ventilation. People saying the XB1S automatically looks better.. I don't get it. Box with a ton of holes on the top looks better than a sleek black slab? I just don't get that lol.
Safe to say Sony will be selling A LOT of PS4's this Xmas.

It actually seems very much in line with how og ps3 was compared to the first slim

I like the look of that Suzy Q, and I notice the lack of the annoying and distracting top led.
I liked the original look of the PS4...while it was off, and I wasn't needing to play any games. In a dark environment, the light bar and glossy factor was super distracting. I ended up having to put a thin piece of cardboard over the top of the system, which looked entirely stupid, but at least I no longer had a super bright light shooting directly into my eyes all of the time. I also put electrical tape across the sensor of the dualshock.

Really? Since I've seen the "making of" of the NX fake I thought it can do that, but I have to admit I don't have any real knowledge about that.
Well then yes it's real, as I guess so... I just can't understand why the owner of the console doesn't release more content about it, especially videos. And why the seller sold it only 350€ since he knew what it was (the page said "NEW PS4" or something, so he knew it wasn't a "normal" PS4), in a world when you can sell No Man's Sky 2000$ 10 days prior to the release... Imagine how much you can sell a new PS4 that hasn't been announced yet...
I'm in #Teamreal but this simply isn't true.

Ok. The fidelity is far beyond what anything but commerical grade 3d printers can do and to make a fake of this level of quailty would be prohibitively expensive.
Better?

You assume PlayStation makes decisions to benefit Sony Electronics instead of itself first and foremost .
The reason stuff like Xperia Play and PlayStation Mobile flops so hard even by low standards are because those stuff have too much push pull between different business divisions.

I'm not saying it is real, though it probably is, but 3D printers are not printing perfect PS2/PS3/PS4 matte/gloss finishes.
The NX was different because it was a prototype and didn't have to sand/paint to mimick and particular finish.
Oh, okay. Show me.
Unless the creator of this has access to an actual fab line, which i'd bet are molds, they're not getting the finishes this perfect.

The price differences I am seeing will make the unveil exciting . I mean a slim I am seeing could be between 200-300 while the Neo can be 399-499.

The Xbox S is not selling significant amounts of anything outside the US this year. It's over.
This is going to make a killing in markets that the PS4 is already the defacto console of choice.

If the PS3 Slim launch was any indication, this will be $299 and so will the OG PS4.

Looks like a smaller PS4. Delivers on it's promise I guess.

I hope it's fake because I prefer the OG Ps4 design better but if it's not fake it won't affect me cus my next Ps4 will be the Neo and i hope it looks better than this slim.
I hate Sony revisions since the ps3, its been go cheap and improve nothing. Does this still have trash wifi? They never give more value with there slims like microsoft tries.. Sonys slims are usually less value than og versions... ps3 had ps2, vita had oled. I hope this system has many improvements other than power consumption and noise.

The bolded is what making me think that potentially this can be a fake. Anyone and everyone that has as PS4 or knows about it knows it can be loud. If you got your hands on a redesigned PS4 you would be posting video's of it running and telling people how loud it is compared to the original model. The pics make it look real, but again, not one video or pic or comment about how it runs just seems/sounds odd to me.

Finally got a look at those pictures on my computer. I gotta say it looks, pretty freakin slim compared to the OG PS4. That thing is than AF.
Don't count on it. It's a cost cutting console and will be marketed as such. Neo will have the bells and whistles if that's your thing.
Doesn't look much thinner to me in pictures tbh.
