Kinda ugly, but I sort of like it. Definitely prefer the OG PS4 in looks, but if this thing gets a good price cut it'd be the smarter choice.

Yep, that's a dissapointment. I'd still consider it if it's substantially smaller than the PS4fat.

Edit: It's not as tall, but the footprint is basically the same. I'd probably just buy the original if it ends up being cheaper / goes on clearance.

Looks like something someone 3D printed at home.

I like the sleek, sharp, OG stealth bomber look better.

Besides the design, what is different with this version?

At least we got away from that glossy look shit has been doing for a while, absolutely disgusting. With that said, I still like the PS3 OG better than the slim.

They really need to get this thing down to $199 or $249 at most.


Looking at the photo and the disc slot width in relation to the unit dimensions and assuming a standard disc diameter of 4.75", the console looks to be:

10.75 inches wide
2 inches tall
Approx. 10 inches deep


Compared to the current console of:

10.83 inches wide
2.08 inches tall
12 inches deep


Other than maybe being a little less deep, the unit in the photo doesn't look to be all that much slimmer. It's definitely not a Xbox One to Xbox One S like difference.

If the HW isn't changed at all then this is the most POINTLESS HW revision I've seen in a while. Just Sony making something to "keep up" with Microsoft.

and that is saying anything? considering that the Xbox One S has still more volume than the OG PS4, this PS4 slim is going to be even smaller now.

This looks like a shitty portable hard drive enclosure. They must have hired designers from Western Digital.

I do prefer the new power and eject buttons. I can never remember which is power and eject on the current model when the lights are off.

Those stupid fucking capacitive buttons are terrible. Give me physical, well marked buttons any day.

Too bad Sony is full of idiots and that thing is made of cheap plastic instead of superior rubber-coated aluminum like a thinkpad.

So it plays games in 4K, but won't play 4K movies. Seems legit. You know it's funny, years ago Sega was blasted for doing stuff like this, now Sony and MS are applauded for it. The irony.
