Am I the only one who thinks this looks like a bathroom vent? White was a poor choice of color for the s.
Probably.
I like the design very much. Definitely influenced by Dieter Rams and his Braun designs.

You mean the vent that you'd almost never see or not at all depending on your setup? The S is pretty striking.Am I the only one who thinks this looks like a bathroom vent? White was a poor choice of color for the s.
Based on some exchanges he had on twitter, yes. Dont know if he is getting pais, but sure should.

I mean, if the vent were large glaring lines on a cream white wall sure, what you're looking for is this

Kind of surprised DF would touch it. Its almost 99% stolen goods. So yeah, kind of shady.
THINK OF THE CLICKS

I could do that. Or I could just buy an older system. *shrug*
As far as cost reductions are concerned it's not the worst thing they can do but it's also not very useful. At most you are saving an extra trace for the SPDIF on the IO and a TOSLINK port that accounts for less than $1. Maybe 50 cents. That might still rack up when you are talking about millions of units but it's not significant especially considering the margins on those devices.
For surround sound maybe. For audio gear no. HDMI is a pain to implement and licensing makes Audio only gear often skip it.

I still think it's funny that the ps3 slim leaked because it was being sold in a flea market.
eh? have digital foundry done something?

Looks really nice...
Was just going to get a Super PS4, but I might have to trade in my original for a slim.

Heh. Until Sony get involved.
Obviously not. Just saying that to people in here thinking that DF will pick this up.
Preorder cancelled. No HD DVD, no deal!

I also think its shady AF, and nothing is confirmed at this point. Just matches that they messaged him about it and we havent seen any videos yet.

As said repeatdly in this thread, these kind of grey market sales happen all the time. It can easily happen legally and until Sony say anything different, this is a legal console.

God damn that image is messing with my eyes. Too many lines.
On topic, it looks plausible and if it's at a great price point it's a brilliant opportunity for late comers to await greatness while the rest of us wait and see with the Neo.

I'll throw in my thoughts and say it's fake. I'm more put off by the choice of composition for the console/controller shown on the console box/packaging. Something's off.
It's like when small game shops sell games or console accessories before they are officially released.
I'm very curious about the power consumption too, but I very much doubt we will see any info about that until it's released and PS4 slim hardware reviews start to appear.

No it is smart behavior. Gonna suck for those people only getting like $150 for their PS4s in a couple of weeks.
I dropped my OG XB1 when the Slim rumors started popping up. Got $300. Now it would be barely worth $150. The second it's officially announced, TIV will tank.

This seems way, way too elaborate to be a hoax.
Who the fuck has the time/resources to create such a thing? And what would be the motivation? What is there to gain aside from 15 minutes of "fame"?
If this is a hoax, the person behind it needs to get a fucking life.

Yep I'm thinking of going and dropping my 20th Anniversary machine to CEX who are currently offering £497 cash for them. Admittedly mine should hold it's value better but sooner or later it will sink.
Heeey remember that NX controller

Assuming that this doesn't have UHD support or HDR, why would anyone even consider replacing their OG PS4 with this new console? The size reduction isn't that huge and it's actually taking away a feature if it dropped the optical audio.
Upgrading to an S from an original X1 makes sense if you have a 4K set. Upgrading a PS4 to this doesn't.

To be honest I am not a fan of this redesign. I think the PS4, Xbox One S and the Xbox 360 S are the best looking systems that have been produced thus far.
The xbox one was ugly AF. The Original PS3 was as well.

UHD is enthusiast at best (I say this as a dinosaur who has a massive collection of films on physical media). I don't think many really give a shit about it.
I don't think this is targeted at those people.

It isn't for current PS4 owners. It's for new customers. PS4 Neo is the product that current PS4 owners will consider for a replacement.

The slim most likely wasn't designed with the idea of upgrading existing PS4 owners. It's a fresh box that will likely have a cheaper price to lure in people who don't already own a PS4. The smaller form factor among other things probably makes production cheaper for Sony as well.

Sony wants you to upgrade to a Neo not this. This will be the standard PS4 moving forward.
Slim models have always been about optimizing production, utilizing advances in technology to make a cheaper console. Who would ever buy a any slim model because it was smaller if they already own the console?
