I just moved apartments and what I always usually do is a major cleanup of everything. Its not even the first time I clean my PS4 Pro but today was the first time I noticed this on one side of the console and I had it for 3 years now! I dont even know what the hole is for that stands for an O but thought it was a nifty hidden thing in the middle of the thinnest part of the console.

It's for the official vertical stand. I also found out about it when i first used it.

At first i was like "wyere the fuck does the screw go?" Followed with a cheeky "aaah you classy bastards".

 

[Bankai]

Haha cool, at first glance I though it was a 3.5" oudio-out or something

After the internals were decided, both Xbox and Playstation then send in their designers to make the box pretty. Though in the case of PS4, it was a rare case where the designer was personally congratulated on stage. Otherwise we usually have no idea who they are.

Probably even harder to miss again.

This is my personal favourite, located on the motherboard of the One X.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand PlayStation 4. The silence of the fan is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the fan noise will go over a typical gamer's head. There's also the PS4 Pro nihilistic fan sound, which is deftly woven into PS4 Pro's characterisation- PS4 Pro's personal philosophy draws heavily from the history of aviation and the sound of modern day jet engines and various aviation literature, for instance. The PS4 fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these fan noises, to realise that they're not just noisy- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike PS4 and PS4 Pro truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in PS4 Pro existential catchphrase "woooossshhhhhhhhhhh," which itself is a cryptic reference to the Concord super sonic jet engine sound. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Mark Cerny's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens and the fan noise of the PS4 and PS4 PRo. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, i DO have a PS4 Pro cooling system and fan tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

It's certainty cool no question but in a console war something like this won't break barriers.

Oh and we all thought PS4 won the generation because of this. Thanks for setting us straight.

It's manufactured in a lesser known province in China called Seattle

 

[Sota4077]

Still created from minds in Seattle.

What kind of reply is this? The text is tiny and unless you stumbled on it by accident you'd probably never see it.
