This thing looks hideous even for 3rd party designers but fuck me, I would love Sony to use that trigger design. The XB1 triggers are a work of art.

The Neo will handle all the scaling.

I have this worry that the announcement is going to be "here we have this slightly more powerful console, it can do a litlitter more if devs choose to (but they wont). Available in oct!"
But I do hope for backwards compatibility and a hell of a show.

Where did we hear that devs don't have them? Also, here's hoping if true, those final dev kits have higher specs. I for one am hoping they can make this thing as powerful as possible given everything. Call it ocd but I just don't like the number 4.2.

Just 2 days away, we already know they gonna do the Apple thing with PS4-Slim being Available Now! due to the leaks. Hopefully the NEO will be as pretty as it's devkit and available very soon.

It's been mentioned several times in the thread already, but I rather like the simple naming sense of "PS4 Pro". It makes the distinction from the standard slim model clear, and is very straightforward in telling people that it is a premium model.

I'm really surprised nothing new got leaked out yet for Neo.

So we have Morpheus (VR) and NEO (the super console).... so where is Trinity (a new handheld?)
Those merchants are gauging up the prices. They might have paid more for them and would surely want to make killer profit margins from those who have more money that don't know what to do with.

If Plus wasn't already used by one of their services, I'd say that Playstation 4 Plus is probably the best name to use, especially for the mass market given it's usage by Apple.
But alas, I think it would cause far too much confusion. PS4 Pro is good too.

I wonder if it will leak out of your big green anus?

Dunno, mixing 'Pro' with 'Gaming' doesn't make much sense. Will it only be targeted at the Pro Gamer?
If they borrow the terminology from their camera division, they will just go with PS4 II. Or maybe their phone division will come to the rescue with a PS4 Z or something.
Probably neither.

Fair enough. I was thinking of the phone market a bit too much.

When it comes to "premium" products, there is actually a thing called "too cheap". I consider anything with a "3" at the beginning too cheap for a premium console. Your assessment may differ.

Trinity is the breakout box for the PSVR headset.

It would be helpful to know what an undiscounted OG PS4 costs in Iran before making any conclusions...

Its here... Elite Controller leaked!?!?!
http://www.target.com/p/playstation-4-elite-wireless-controller/-/A-51549814
J/k 3rd party accessories at it again! Gotta give em'credit though lol!
DualShock 4 with Xbox One elit controller parts? Impossible. Fake.
Yeah, i'd say i'd disagree. I can't understand where this obsession with the word premium comes from, as if it explains the absolute most powerful parts and specs, huge prices and absolute abandon for any kind of price or market controls.
Sony aren't Nvidia or Alienware with their gaming unit.
They will focus on the 4K aspects of HDR enabled gaming and what the NEO actually is supposed to represent fro them as a company.
Its a lot to talk about

Isn't HDR jumping the gun though? As I understand it HDR provides significant input lag.
Backfoggen
Banned
It doesn't. Certain TVs can't handle the input without additional lag, but that will likely change with next years models.
HDR doesn't produce input lag itself.
Problem is 4K HDR TVs are in very early stages, that's why I down't see 4K Tv gaming as something really interesting yet.
Is there a pic of the neo dev kit? I don't remember seeing it.

Looks fake, particularly the XBO-like triggers and ridges.
EDIT: Damn spoiler tags.

Yeah, noticed that and edited the post accordingly. It's still not official though.

Do you this think that Neo will pack features like PSX and PlayTV like DVR for 4K and other features that can sort the device as premium UHD device?
Maroon Gamer

PlayStation 4 Premium because it's a premium PS4.

It's 4:30am here and I am typing in my sleep.
To be fair, what is there to leak?
We already have specs which likely haven't changed.
The only notable leaks could be the name of the system and price.
I don't see any massive new games being announced at this meeting either although I hope I'm wrong there.

No need. I'm on the 4.2 TF train for Neo. Not really all that excited for the conference.
Just need a price, date and some footage.

Some people here clearly haven't realized the role of PS4 Neo yet. PS4 Neo isn't OG PS4' substitute; PS4 Slim is. PS4 Neo is OG PS4's direct successor, at least in the long run. But for now, this is the first time Sony wants to place two completely different SKUs playing the same games succesfully on the market.
In order to do so, PS4 Neo is clearly positioned as a premium product, while the Slim covers the price leadership. But to be considered "premium" it has to differentiate itself from the cheap one, both (!) by product features and price. If it's offered too cheap, the market will not recognize it as a true successor of OG PS4, literally worthy enough to replace their old (already bought) PS4s.
I do price analyses (amongst other things) for a living and that's why I am sure PS4 Neo will not be as cheap as some people hope it will be.

My Prediction:
PS4 Neo will be $450.
Quote me on this come Wednesday.

IMO they'll be heavy on emphasising "It's a PS4, part of the PS4 family, your games will continue to work great on PS4 - but if you're one of those demanding people who wants MORE or who wants the perfect partner for PSVR, we have a product for you".
Which is basically the truth and a nice way to put it.
(edit: in other words they won't throw the PS4 under a bus by saying "LOOK AT THE OMG NEO IT IS THE BEST AND THE FUTURE AND LOL PS4SLIM").
Teaser trailer is what I could imagine this early.
But again, is that something that showcases Neo's potential all that much since it's just a teaser? I don't think so.
New Horizon gameplay demo for example on Neo would be way more effective, then show UC4 DLC at PSX.
