It looked significantly smaller when House was holding it.

Plus no giant mandatory camera = much more space friendly.

I'm expecting a power brick though.

I think a previous poster mentioned the spec sheet said there was an internal PSU so no brick.

 

[Rhapsody]

Now here's hoping the fan isn't super loud like my previous 60gb PS3.

 

[TAJ]

Now here's hoping the fan isn't super loud like my previous 60gb PS3.

My 60GB PS3 seemed quiet, but maybe that was just because my launch 360 sounded like a jet taking off.
But my 60GB PS3 was like a space heater. You probably could have used it to cook meat if you placed it by the right side.

XB1: 34.3 x 26.3 x 8

PS4: 30.5 x 27.5 x 5.3

Thanks. That's super impressive. And they managed to make the PSU internal correct?

 

[Milchjon]

Both consoles are ugly. PS4 controller is even uglier.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Speaking of space friendly, the XBone can't stand vertical right? Ps4 on the other hand looks like better standing vertical

and also I thought it was really cool they gave props to the guy who did the design and his team. Very nice gesture

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

This was my mockup cleand up by nib95. I was wrong about the 3rd layer, the rear slant and the disc slot location.

Be careful, Sony ninjas are going to show up at your door....

 

[travisbickle]

This difference in size is BIG.

XBONE 7,200 cm cube
PS4 4,400 cm cube

XBONE in total volume is ~63% larger than PS4.

At least xbone wins one of the spec comparisons!

 

[dallow_bg]

Yosp confirmed you can change the HDD.

 

[TAJ]

At least xbone wins one of the spec comparisons!

They won in transistor count, too. lol
And die size.

 

[The Jason]

Looks great to me. Love the blue accent and the slant. I looks futuristic.

 

[Fezan]

didn't like the design that much. it may look better in person but in pics it looks strange.
IMO xbone has better design

 

[user_nat]

I really like the first shot in the OP. But hate the second. USB ports need to be hidden or just not in the middle.. looks bad.

 

[SpoonyBard]

Doesn't look too bad, but not really good either. And not exactly neutral looking... but not offensive. No strong feelings in any direction...

 

[abic]

Thanks. That's super impressive. And they managed to make the PSU internal correct?

PS4 spec sheet confirms internal PSU.

 

[gembel]

looks like no power brick either

the documentation say it comes with 1x AC Power Cord

 

[Scotch]

Way smaller than the XB1, far less vents, and supposedly the power supply is internal as well? Very impressed by Sony's engineering in this case.

 

[Hidden One]

I cannot find the eject button D:

 

[Espada]

It looks like a monolith, like some giant shard of obsidian. Especially when it's standing up.

The more I look at it the more it grows on me, especially details like the power/eject buttons on the front and those sides.

 

[SeriousApes]

How do you put the discs in?

The power and eject buttons made me excited for some reason. It just looks cool

 

[abic]

looks like no power brick either

the documentation say it comes with 1x AC Power Cord

Look at the text on the first page, it confirms that the Power supply is part of the internal architecture.

This is incredible engineering if all true. It might be very noisy then??

 

[Arment]

I cannot find the eject button D:

You just make the eject gesture at the eye.

In all seriousness it looks like it's right next to the power button.

 

[jony_m]

yus

 

[shink]

Upgradeable HDD yesss

 

[8byte]

I take it the PS Eye is not included?

 

[velociraptor]

It would be cooler if the console was made out of aluminium or metal like the Xbone. The plastic makes it look gamey.

 

[Dug]

Doesn't look too bad, but not really good either. And not exactly neutral looking... but not offensive. No strong feelings in any direction...

Reminds me of this guy.

 

[MrCookiepants]

Yes. It has presence and flair. GAF has no taste when it comes to this sort of thing, but I think most will grow to appreciate the design.

 

[televator]

Oh my god, yes! Lately it feels so good when Sony speaks.

I wasn't sure about it at first, but the more detailed shots have me sold. I especially like these buttons for some reason.

 

[Mascot]

Should have had an additional third USB socket on the back, but apart from that: better than Xbone.

 

[Hypron]

Way smaller than the XB1, far less vents, and supposedly the power supply is internal as well? Very impressed by Sony's engineering in this case.

Yeah. I really, really hope it doesn't overheat though.

 

[Synless]

Looks like two PS2s.


PS2 + PS2 = PS4


Makes sense.

First impression I got. They were right for doing it, PS2 was one of the sexiest systems ever created.

 

[Dizzy]

Yeah this and xbox one are kinda ugly. Nintendo wins on looks this gen.

 

[neto]

It looks ugly, and too similar to the xbone

 

[BigJonsson]

Someone shop a PS4 in there

 

[Chuck Norris]

I think this will be a very popular design in time, kind of like PS3 Slim

 

[TheBryanJZX90]

Way smaller than the XB1, far less vents, and supposedly the power supply is internal as well? Very impressed by Sony's engineering in this case.

So Microsoft is going to have the hubristically expensive console and Sony is going to have the comparatively cheap console that will overheat and kill itself? Quite the reversal from the last console generation.

 

[Espada]

I take it the PS Eye is not included?

The PDF Sony put out says it's not packed in with the console. I'm very happy about that. I prefer a lower price for the machine over a camera.

Yes. It has presence and flair. GAF has no taste when it comes to this sort of thing, but I think most will grow to appreciate the design.

Oh, yeah. I think this is one of those designs that will grow on people. Now I want to see it in person. There's several things I'm interested in like how hot does it get to the touch and what character of sound does the fan make.

 

[televator]

Also, I don't think it looks like the XBone. PS4 has more angles that make it interesting to look at. XBone is literally just a box.

 

[Escalation]

I like it a lot, very interesting details. Love the blue strip and near invisible buttons. The recessed ports front and rear with stealthy vents are also damn clean.

 

[KennyLinder]

For the size of the HDDs, what sort of capacity can you get? Over 1TB?

 

[shinra-bansho]

I think a previous poster mentioned the spec sheet said there was an internal PSU so no brick.

What is this sorcery?

 

[bunbun777]

How does anyone think it looks like the Xbone? It has no curve but other than that it really does not look the same to me. Blue accent is nice and minimal buttons are cool. Digging the fact that it goes vertical and reminds me of a ziggurat somewhat.

Wasn't 100% before, but it seems to look fantastic in person.

 

[Frillen]

Both look terrible, though the PS4 less so.

 

[bigbaldwolf86]

This looks amazing and I love the light strip. From the looks of it, it isn't that big is it?

 

[leng jai]

Looks alright to be honest. The controller however is atrocious.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

This really is the generation of ugly looking consoles.

 

[DBT85]

Wasn't 100% before, but it seems to look fantastic in person.

Odd that they weren;t allowed to show the vents.

Sony having vent yield issues? Sony restricting vent sales? despicable.

 

[2+2=5]

It's not great imo, but i was surprised by the small dimension and weight(an empty console?)
