Forums - Sony - Exclusive PS4 First Look Hands-on (Out of the Glass Box)!

PullusPardus on 05 July 2013

I don't know about you guys, but i'm so sick of "Glossy smooth round plastic" gadgets ala most of the Android phones especially S3 , its so cheap looking, the same for Xbox 360 and the PS3 (the original ones_, to me they're the worst looking consoles , they're like two fat kids who are noisy.

Show us your idea of a non-out of date design then, Mr. Xbone fan?

I'm no big fan of the Xbone either. Although Xbone looks neutral, like a classic traditional home electroics device.

For non-out of date design we have to look at Samsung's TVs and phones, and Apple's iPhones and iPads. And even better, look at the design of new BMWs.

The new BMW's suck in my opinion =/

I haven't kept track o the very latest BMW design, but I mean all the models designed by Chris Bangle between 2000 and 2009 or so (like the 3-series E90 and the 6-series he made).

Love it and is that the first time they have been allowed to show the ports on the back?
I also love the new controller too

The rumble on the controller is going to be awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgq48-TePBI



 Go Team Venture! I still don't get the Wii, PS Move,  and Kinect.

Yeah I think outside of the ps4's in the glass cases at E3 this is the first time we have been shown the ports.  More than likely the ports on this one should be what they are for us.

Wouldn't that make that look out of date? Out of date would entail that it is designed after older styled fashions. I can't quite recall any electronics resembling what PS4 looks like. There are some nods to the PS2 in its design thanks to its 1/3 two tone being sperated by a line but its dual layer placement and off center arrangement is fresh in comparison to other devices.

Xbox One has been compared to VCR's but I give it more credit than that. It's size is its big hinderance, along with its square shape. I think if it wasn't so square, thinner it would compare more to a sound bar in design. As long as it wasn't any wider than current model I think that adjustment would make it interesting and attract the eye to its more appealing front rather than its imposing top.

Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

So you want the PS4 to have wheels that goes vroom vroom and also has a touch pad?!!!  SHM!!

It looks pretty good!

I love how small it is. The design looks pleasing too.

Yeah I think the size is super impressive considering all the tech it has in there. I gotta say while I do LOVE my old school fat PS3 It's hard to find a spot to put it where it doesn't look out of place. It's just really big =/
