*** The Official Playstation 4 (PS4) Thread ***

is it just me or does the logic board look... a little disappointing?

It's essentially a custom laptop with fairly beefy GPU capability. So that's what it ought to look like!

The simplicity is a good sign. I was a little concerned about overheating, but it seems to be a rather elegant design.

One thing I've noticed with the PS4, it doesn't appear to have any rubber feet for when it's lying flat. Unless the base is like a rubbery non-slip plastic, or you get sticky feet in a bag with the console, surely it's going to move about all over the place on a hard flat surface, or get scuffed up?

Loving the worry in the minute detail If you are at all disappointed by any lack of rubber feet maybe you could go buy some from B&Q?

Got to ask what were you expecting?

Dunno, even a stripped down mobile looks more impressive, but i guess that's because its more compact.

I'm guessing the little white chip on the mobo is the standalone video encoder?

I'm not worried, just an observation. I'm sure they've got it covered

Pre-orders launch day rubber feet

Look at all those components, it's blatantly going to overheat.

Apparently the PS4 box is about the same size as the XB1

It's impressive how much they managed to cram into it, including the power supply.

I would ask her to, just to be safe. You never know with these things, they could be loads or like 3 a shop like the original Wii.

I'm still not sold on either console yet, but I'll definitely go with a PS4 if they announce support for my T500rs.

I don't see them not supporting that wheel.

I think they'll add support later on, Sony have always provided good support for third party wheels. I hope the same will apply to my GT2 .

November pls go

FS! I want mine now lol. I got cod in the post yesterday.

Such a elegant and simple design. Love how the heat sink has a plate covering the entire motherboard preventing dust build up on the motherboard itself. And the fact the heat sink is so small and only uses two heat pipes is amazing.

Not sure if this has been posted before, but it's pretty cool
