I hear people talk about the new model PS4's - Are all white PS4's the newer models - If not which ones are newest

if you buy a 500gb model you should get the new version.

Only way to know would be a matte finish all over or for the company selling to confirm.

Was wanting to pick one up from Argos but it seems impossible to tell and they don't list whether it's c-chassis or not

Could you not just buy and if it isn't then take it back for a refund? If that is a hassle then the only way to do it would be to contact a company online and ask before buying.

Zooming in on the box says CUH-1116A.

9TurningMirrors · 7 Dec 2015 at 16:15

^^^ What VF says. That's a B-chassis. I was just looking at the white ones on Tesco Direct.

If you are after a C-Chassis then you are looking for a number starting CUH-12XXX

I'd be surprised if there's that many old SKUs around now, especially after Black Friday.

I wouldn't take images of boxes on retailer websites as gospel either.

the new revision consoles. have 2 main differences..
the first being, the Power and Eject buttons, are no longer capacative touch buttons, they are actual push buttons..
and 2nd, The HDD top cover, is no longer shiny, its matt finish to match the rest of the console..

But minor difference, includes the rear I/O port arrangement has changed slightly..
Just port order...

How quiet is the new model compared to the PS3 Super Slim?

That is the external/asthetic changes. There are deffo changes under the skin tho as my original PS4 sounds like a jet most of the time now playing Until Dawn or Blops3 but on my new 1Tb Vader console its practically silent.

I'm surprised the PS4 wasn't silent from the initial launch. I find that quite bizarre.

There a loads of stuff about the new PS4 vs the old PS4 here

The new PS4 is a lot quieter and more power efficient, so should you upgrade?

Different PSU
Different Memory modules
Different 500GB harddrive
ETC ETC

I picked the uncharted console bundle with FIFA on black Friday from Argos and it was a new model

Donk · 7 Dec 2015 at 19:27

I got the white console in a bundle from Amazon over Black Friday and that was the latest version.

The Destiny bundle is white and you should be able to get it cheap. You could sell the game for £30.

It does have map on the console which is cool, mostly white and I can confirm it is the new PS4.
