This may be a silly question - will the Neo run games off the same disks as the PS4 version? Or will separate disks be sold for each SKU?

man, this is giving me crazy flashbacks to back in the day when PS3 hadn't launched yet. the shirtstorm that was BD drive laser discussion...
Indeed. That said, it would be a god thing for this to play UHD discs as it would drive adoption.
Agreed. And hence why Sony probably does not have a UHD drive in site this year yet.
This is their UHD drive (hoping) they want to push first. Since it is basically their 'set top box'/games machine in one.
I like this.
I did not know this. Very cool though, its really hard for me to find any down side to this and I'm starting to feel like the naysayers are just uneducated on the subject. It will be interesting to see how Sony markets this a at E3 but I like how the poster above a put it as sort of branding it as a slim console revision with added perks.same discs

If they are using 50gb as max threshold on the blu ray disks, doesnt that pose a potential bottleneck if games like uncharted 4 are already hitting that max capacity?
I now wonder if they'll just sell it as a slim without even mentioning performance upgrades or at least downplaying the differences. Sell off existing stock of PS4 fat and PS NEO becomes the new PS4.
I now wonder what they will call this given Osiris says it has a name. Could just be it remains PS4!
Ps4k has the same ammount of ram, assets will not get much better. 50gb is more than enough, and if someone want more, they can do it viaonline patch or via 2nd disc.
Can they actually do that?
Downplaying the differences is one thing but not at least mentioning the performance upgrades..or a reason to buy one...I dont know...
Will be curious how they do this tho.
This is the area where Sony could come unstuck. They can't expect the hardcore to buy into the Neo and then expect them to accept tiny upgrades so OG PS4 owners don't feel bad.
NEO mode for Bloodborne, Dark Souls, and Uncharted please and thank you

- Project has been in concrete talks for about a year
- PS4K won't replace the current PS4
- Current PS4 to have a price drop when PS4K comes out (Sony is reportedly talking about a 'low price' model)
- PS4K was initially made to boost the VR capability of PSVR
- CPU and memory will get a boost
- Games that are already out can get a graphical boost
- The initial plan was to release the PS4K right after E3 but won't come out until fall 2016 (but no actual release date)
That would be expected. PS4K with 4K native res games running at 60fps would be epic. And we all know that's not happening.PS4K with better 1080p graphics would be epic.

Still, I'd buy a PS4K day one if it can provide Bloodborne 1080P solid 60fps with no frame pacing issues. I'd buy one probably just for that alone and of course for better PSVR performance.
Uncharted 4 NEO mode is gonna be god-like.PS4K with better 1080p graphics would be epic.
Hahah I knew I should've put Housemarque in there as the exception. I kid you not as I was typing that exact sentence, their name kept flashing in my head as probably the earliest exception to this. IF anyone can do it and do it well with no bullshit/tricks, it'll be them w/out a doubt cause they are absolute technical wizards I feel.There could be a few. Maybe, maybe Resogun at 4K? Hell they got that to run on a Vita at ~540p30 with all that crazy voxel physics
For most games though, 1080p native with strong anti-aliasing would be a god-send... oh my.
Just add a sprinkle of SSAA or MSAA and I am golden
Uncharted 4 NEO mode is gonna be god-like.
This will just be like PSX,PSPGo and Playstation TV.
They'll knock it out the fucking park if it's that price imo and drop the PS4 to $299. The momentum will not stop.I bet it sell more than the Wii U & Xbox One if it's $399
You all wanted an affordable PS4 at launch.This comes at a price : subpar hardware.
The PS4 is clearly outdated and except for a few games here and there nothing has ever been impressive.
It's time for you guys to kiss your 5-6 years classic cycle goodbye and welcome the smartphonesque model with an upgrade every 2-3 years building upon the previous models without having to start from scratch again.
Yes Yoshida is right in a way, will there ever be a proper PS5 build up from the ground ? Doubt it.
Technology is moving very fast nowadays even the Neo will be an outdated dinosaur by the time 2019 rolls out.
Give me some Playstation with HBM technology and enough juice power to enable free 4K (I'm dreaming I know) by 2020 and I'll be a happy man.
Buying it.
Won't lie, I'd have liked to see the CPU get a bigger boost. Potentially pairing a new technology GPU with an old POS CPU seems like a bit of a letdown.
Its supposed to be a cheap investment for them and easily compatible. We'll get a much bigger boost next time, mark my words about that
"Here is your new PS4 Slim, with enhanced features to take advantage of the blistering 4K adoption, and performance boosts on games and VR with the same PS4 software library you currently enjoy."
This has been my position all along. It just means that finally the slim will have performance features. People pray for this everytime....and now it's non-stop complaining.
PS4K with better 1080p graphics would be epic.
so we got another 400+ console to look forward to ? wow that sounds amazing
Sold my PS4 today at a profit (got it on a misprice) and now greatness awaits
What are you going to do in the meantime?
I'm thinking they delayed the release after E3 to gauge what type of specs the competition are going to go with. If NX and XB1.5 are below Neo's specs they can launch anytime they want before October, if NX and XB1.5 are close to Neo's specs they can one up them with the CPU upgrade they were considering for $500.00.source http://www.gameblog.fr/news/58363-ps4-5-elle-existe-vraiment-nos-infos

Well, that's fine, your buddies can still play all games PS4K will play, only that we may play them at higher resolutions and framerates. So perhaps the games you play at 30fps, Neo owners will play at 60fps. That's ok because all PS4 owners will still play online together, Neo or OG, so nothing changes except the hardware benefits mostly in SP. When these friends are finally ready to upgrade to those benefits, the NEO will most likely be cheaper for them too.Just been speaking to my mates about NEO, none are interested they think PS4 does the job.
I imagine a lot will feel this way.

Yea I find this very funny, in past generations many people actually asked that if they are releasing a new version of the console, why should it not be a little more powerful.
so we got another 400+ console to look forward to ? wow that sounds amazing
Any realistic chance Sony will put a faster CPU than the leaked one while keeping the 399$ price tag?
Or now that they sent the first devkits is too late?
Altough i think they did something similar with the 8GB before iirc
