What does the traditional slimline provide for the culture?
Sony has already announced that no one, but two updated PS4 plans to be released this year; For the PS4 Pro, mid-size upgrades have been made for the PS4 Neo, as well as the smaller version of the existing PS4 Hardware – or PS4 Slim – that takes the PlayStation 4 name.
The first reveal of a small console came as a surprise, when it was seen in the wild on the auction website Gumtree, instead of using the usual rumors and leaks that came before the new industry. The PS4 slim was later confirmed by Digital Foundry as a fact, the fact that it came at the very end of the packaging showing imminent release – confirmed by Sony at their PlayStation Meeting in September.
PS4 Slim release time and price
Announced as part of the September PlayStation Meeting, the PS4 Slim will release in two days, each with a different hard drive size:
- PS4 Slim 500GB – 259 / $ 299, September 16th 2016
- PS4 Slim 1TB – 309.99 / $ TBC, September 29th 2016
You can pre-order both from Amazon UK; The 500GB PS4 Slim is available on its own or integrated with FIFA 17, while the 1TB PS4 Slim is also available on its own or with FIFA 17. You can also hold DualShock 4 separately as well, though remembering that your existing controllers will work just fine.
PS4 Slim specs – what's new with the slimline console?
This updated PS4 is replacing it as the latest generation & # 39; s reboot, which uses the exact same as the current PS4 hardware – including a full family HDR output as part of the firmware 4.0 update.
That leaves the PS4 Pro to deliver real-life and feature-rich precision for those who want it – in addition to that, check out the Digital Visibility gained following their three hours of time with the PS4 Pro at the PlayStation Convention.
But for those who don't want the PS4 Pro – and have a choice between the original launch model and the new Slim – how does this compare to the two? Digital launch for the first time with the CUH-2000 PS4 Slim claims to be "better than the existing PS4 in almost every way" in terms of power efficiency and noise reduction, and while it comes at a higher budget, it can build quality in line with existing models.
What does the PS4 slim look like to introduce PS4 hardware:
- The small element of the formula is the soft corners and the matte finish all
- About 40 percent smaller, with a size of 26.5cm x 26.5cm x 3.8cm when comparing the PS4 & # 39; s 27,5cm x 30cm x 5.3cm launches.
- Physical power and output buttons located below the disc drive
- Removed light bulb to light up new power button
- Two USB 3.0 ports are positioned one at the front of the computer
- The base of the console has & # 39; legs & # 39; several made of transparent plastic in the form of iconic PlayStation symbols
- PlayStation square, triangle, circle and cross symbols are affixed to the side of the console, in a circle and functioning as part of a stand attachment
Features and features of the PS4 compared to the original PS4:
- Removal of the Optical Out port on the back of the console
- Updated DualShock 4 controller to be included in the box (see more below)
- Two options for the hard drive – 500GB standard, or an increased capacity of 1TB
- Ability to convert heavy driving with a dedicated rear panel
- New hard drive provider – Toshiba MQ01ABD050 2.5-inch in our hands – but the same 5400rpm
- Fan noise reduction, heat and power consumption (about 41% power on the dashboard in pre-test)
- WiFi upgrade – 5GB IEEE 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac supported (available with Pro model)
New PS4 controller – what's so different about the updated DualShock 4?
Similar to the Xbox One S, the slimline console for Sony will forward a slightly modified controller with a few different features, as well as some redesigned parameters.
A great addition is a light strap on the top of the controller touch pad, allowing players to see the controller's light color without looking at the bottom of the controller. The light bar itself is small.
