Forums - Sony Discussion - PS4 Slim Review

GribbleGrunger on 30 August 2016

The PS4 Slim model is, simply put, a smaller PS4. It doesn’t perform any better or worse than the previous model, but does run cooler and quieter. It has a slightly improved controller, but the box itself doesn’t run any better. Don’t expect Xbox One S-style HDR and 4K blue-ray support. This is still a basic PS4 model with no internal upgrades over the previous iteration, and is not the upcoming PS4 Neo. It does not make games run better, or upscale them to 4K.

The PS4 Slim’s dimensions come in at 264 x 39 x 288mm, which is a considerable drop in size compared to the 275 x 53 x 305mm size of the standard model. It cuts around a third of the console’s height off, and solid few centimeters off it on each of the surrounding edges, which is nice for cramped entertainment centres.

ok from the multitude of high quality size comparison images available now I've deduced the following.

The New PS4 Model has the approximate dimensions of 268x40x282 mm

Compared to the OG Model with the dimensions of 275×53×305 mm.

Eh I wasn't that far off, only 1.9% in terms of volume.

Also "Blue-ray" EW EW EW

I'm interested for Digital Foundry to take a look at one. It probably won't happen till launch, but that's really what I'm looking for.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

I guess that's sort of a review. I'm thinking about getting the original version, but the newer controller has perked by interest.

So a size reduction of 33.3%. Not bad Sony.

Looks like Microsoft won the Battle of the Slims thanks to 4k and HDR support.
Common Sony. :/

Sounds interesting. Im surprised there is no word on the streets about neo.

why does he keep saying sony is telling people its not real?

its misinformation like that that makes me hate some of these random youtubers.

so for obvious reasons has refused to comment. Thats not the same thing as telling people something is not real.

And that was a horrible unboxing by the way. There is a much better professional looking one out there. if people can't be bothered to do something right; then don't do it at all. Much worse don't make a video of it!!!

Oops, just found out he was a she.....

I wouldnt be surprised if it had a tiny increase in clock speeds either.
But the avg joe that got a hold of one, doesnt know how to prove such a thing.

Digital foundry probably will... I wouldnt be surprise if like the Xbox One Slim it got a 7% boost or something minor like that, which makes it in general run some of the current games with a tiny bit less frame drops.

Supposed to have a hybrid hdd as well right? ... not sure how much that helps, but in theory it could.

Just the height.  Length and width just slightly reduced.
