The design is growing on me. Also, i agree it reminds me of the original PS2



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

At first when I saw the streaming event and they revealed it, it didn't look so great. As soon as I got the chance to look at HD images it reminded me of the PS2. That is a great sign for things to come hopefully.

Sorry but it looks like a VHS rewinder from the 90s.

 



Looks great it further adds to the consoles style.

Really? I think blue lights are pure hell. You can't sleep if there is only one small blue light on in your bedroom. It's the worst light imaginable (to me). Exchange it to a red light and everyone can easily sleep but a blue light is often so intense that it is disturbing. I don't know exactly how the blue light will really light on PS4, just wanted to rant a little bit about unclever design-choices (right next to glossy finishes!).


ill be stalking you tonight, and right when your about to sleep, ill turn on a blue light right next to your window. buahahahaha

Good thing PS4 isn't always on....



Stupid trivia: If you look at a green, red, and then blue LED, you will noticed the green appears clear, the blue fuzzy, and red somewhere in between. The human retina absorbs blue light the poorest, resulting in this fuzzy appearance.

On a side note, if you google "blue LED retinal damage" you'll find a bunch of interesting scare articles. (But I would take them with a grain/pillar of salt.)

I wondered what it was, just makes it look more awesome



I do like the strip of light. It looks good. The console overall looks fine, I like the small form factor.
