[Gradly]

Any word if it's UHD compatible? I may have missed it.

Doesn't seem like it.

I read on one pic that has God of War game that it's, the game, optimized for Ultra 4K TVs if it's legit at all haha

 

[That Damn Kid]

Original looks so much better. If it's $250 on Black Friday I may buy it

 

[rubes7844]

PS4 can already output a UHD resolution signal via play memories and they make UHD TVs with HDR functionality. they were truly shocked and blindsided by the S and 4K playback. Maybe wait for official specs yeah?

guessing some of these features may be unlocked with FW4.0 on this model. just a guess.

There's no secret sauce in 4.0. Sorry to break it to you.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

People do realise the OG PS4 has been full matte for over a year now right?

 

[Coxy100]

Love the new look - although it's a shame they didn't keep the light on it just because it's the 'ps4 thing'.

But yep will be buying one of these to join the ps4 world

 

[DonMigs85]

Ayy it's got buttons.

Now that I look at it, what if somebody has extremely fat fingers that can't fit into the gap? You'd have to find a thin object to push the buttons.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

That would be WEIRD AF. Why not? This thing going to be $199? LOL

it's a replacement in the market for the current PS4.

 

[Inuhanyou]

That's definitely a slim console.

PS2 is still the GOAT slim system though.

Especially when they got rid of the power brick. DUDE. The PS2 9000 is god.

 

[WadeitOut]

4K is not, 4K HDR still a little expensive.

I bought my Samsung 4K HDR for $1000 last black friday. An equivalent will probably drop to the $700s on deals this Holiday.

 

[Yurikerr]

That's a huge bet. People like cheaper.

I don't know if Neo is coming out next year, then the door is open for the Xbox One S this holiday for 4K.

Then why isn't the XB1 dominating sales? =]

It looks cheap as fuck. It better be less expensive if it's real.



The texture of the plastic, the overall design doesn't look as aesthetically pleasant as the original PS4

Cheap looking materials, for one thing. I'm not a fan of the rough textured look. Also, the two layer's doesn't have the same symetrical look the original model has.

Guys, is the same plastic that's been used on the ps4. Heck even the slim ps3 used this material.

If you don't consider those systems cheap as well there's a logic problem here.

 

[Kyrios]

Pinkies out.

 

[InsaneTiger]

The more I look at it, the more I like it.

 

[Audioboxer]

It's 2016.

I know, but it is what it is. I've been using HDMI pass-through for years.

Remember with HDMI you end up needing a receiver which can passthrough (video) correctly. With optical you never need to worry about video.

 

[Guymelef]

Also i'm not understanding all the hate for no optical out? HDMI is way better for audio and it cuts costs.

My setup is

and

 

[Bitch Pudding]

You guys do realize that 4K HDR televisions are not that expensive right?

Well, proper big ones suited for gaming are expensive. That said, your and my definition of "expensive" may differ.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

Now that I look at it, what if somebody has extremely fat fingers that can't fit into the gap? You'd have to find a thin object to push the buttons.

The system is tapered like the first console so you can press from the top it seems.

 

[jax]

But NEO is rumoured to be launching in March now.

What a depressing day this has been :/

Get a 1S in nov for XV, and a Neo in March. That's what I'm doing.

 

[Voror]

What was that mention of the Neo being 3 bigger than this? Would that make it the same size as the OG or a bit bigger?

 

[DieH@rd]

You guys do realize that 4K HDR televisions are not that expensive right?

4K is not, HDR is.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Then why isn't the XB1 dominating sales? =]

Well, they did technically just win July and will most likely win August? That won't last but I'm not sure what else you'd want as a start.

 

[phanphare]

Has anyone tried to explain what is so "ugly" about it?

people are still trying to convince themselves that the og ps4 looks nice when it's actually ugly as fuck

so now something that actually looks nice comes along and some people see it as ugly as fuck because they've reset their preferences according to the og ps4 which was actually ugly as fuck

it's science

 

[OdysseusVA]

Has anyone tried to explain what is so "ugly" about it?

It doesnt look like a VCR

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Looks nice. Love the feet. Nice touch.

 

[amar212]

Also i'm not understanding all the hate for no optical out? HDMI is way better for audio and it cuts costs.

I have superior Onkyo and amazing Pioneer 5.1 receivers.

None of them have HDMI, both have optical.

I want optic audio.

 

[Xenoflare]

What was that mention of the Neo being 3 bigger than this? Would that make it the same size as the OG or a bit bigger?

The Chinese leak which was credited in this thread pages back mentioned the "Neo" is about the size of the OG but slightly thicker and is quite heavy

 

[wapplew]

What was that mention of the Neo being 3 bigger than this? Would that make it the same size as the OG or a bit bigger?

I think it's 3cm thicker than OG but with this slim design.
If people think slim is ugly, then Neo won't be and better.

 

[Logash]

But NEO is rumoured to be launching in March now.

What a depressing day this has been :/

Wait, when did this happen?

 

[Inuhanyou]

What was that mention of the Neo being 3 bigger than this? Would that make it the same size as the OG or a bit bigger?

That would be impossible. 3x bigger than this would be XB1 OG level

Wait, when did this happen?

Rumors. There are also rumors that foxconn have already started mass producing them

 

[Wiped89]

Can't believe there are people who think this looks good.

It's gone from a sleek, semi-shiny, cool slanted look to this Fisher Price toy appearance. Yuck.

 

[DieH@rd]

What was that mention of the Neo being 3 bigger than this? Would that make it the same size as the OG or a bit bigger?

Chinese forum leak mentioned 3 new Playstation devices:

- a bit smaller PS4 with logo in the center
- 3cm thicker version of PS4
- a psp-like devcice

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Has anyone tried to explain what is so "ugly" about it?

It doesn't have a Xbox symbol.

 

[Graphics Horse]

I read on one pic that has God of War game that it's, the game, optimized for Ultra 4K TVs if it's legit at all haha

Surprisingly the image from fakesforge twitter was a fake and a forgery.

 

[WadeitOut]

Well, proper big ones suited for gaming are expensive. That said, your and my definition of "expensive" may differ.

If you are comparing the price to a gaming monitor, then you're probably doing it wrong. Because the people who are buying the 4K tvs in droves in a few months won't be doing it primarily for video games.

4K is not, HDR is.

This Holiday it won't be.

 

[Chris Metal]

Actually less inclined to believe it is not real now... Considering I could download a copy of those audio/media codec format labels in PNG and print them as a temporary tattoo for my body and claim I'm a UHD blu ray player .

It's real.

However the trademarks, patents and license agreements from Sony, Dolby and DTS are curiously absent from the new Slim console which are clear and a legal requirement on the OG PS4. Are Sony trying to pull a fast one through this "new" console... and strangely their own trademarks have disappeared too.

 

[kurahador]

Looks better than vanilla model IMO. Hope Sony will produce more colors.

 

[Asd202]

Get a 1S in nov for XV, and a Neo in March. That's what I'm doing.

I really really don't recommend getting Xbox for XV it looks terrible on it. SE is putting much more effort into PS4 version because that's the one that will sell the most. So if you're getting S just to play XV don't.

 

[Apoleptica]

The negativity in this thread is ridiculous. I really don't get why people are saying it's ugly. It looks exactly the same as the regular PS4 except now it has rounded edges and it's slightly thinner, making it look a bit less like an eraser. I bet it runs much quieter and cooler as well.

 

[MaxwellParrish]

PS VR is $399 USD $549 CAD. Add 13% tax and BOOM, almost 650 dollars holy hell.
I of course am assuming Neo is $399 launch price in US. If it's more, then 😭😭

Is this the normal change for canadian dollars? Didn't think it was that weak

 

[GameAddict411]

I personally like the design. It's very simple and very small. As long as it's quiet, it's great. I wonder how the PlayStation neo will look like.

 

[MissCauthon]

Any word from Sony yet regarding the leak?

 

[31GhostsIV]

It's 2016.

And?

 

[Projectjustice]

Looks better than the original PS4. Hope its real.

 

[Kevin]

Since I don't currently own a PS4 I was super excited to pick up a Neo this year. I hope this isn't indication that the Neo won't be coming out until sometime next year. Would be kind of weird to release a PS4 Slim, PS4 Neo and VR hardware in October all at the same time though I suppose it is possible.

They are on the new one.

Ah gotcha. Thank you.

That would be impossible. 3x bigger than this would be XB1 OG level

I couldn't remember the exact unit of measure. Sorry about that.

 

[dreamsINdigital]

i can say with 100% certainty, that nobody at Sony is going to use optical audio as a marketing tool...

I meant as more an an incentive to buy a NEO over a regular PS4, not really active marketing.

 

[carlsojo]

I like the simple appearance.

 

[Pop]

Can't believe there are people who think this looks good.

It's gone from a sleek, semi-shiny, cool slanted look to this Fisher Price toy appearance. Yuck.

Looks like a device that plays games. That's what matters. Majority won't care

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

If it is fake, someone went through a lot of effort for this, I gotta hand it to 'em.
