Hands-on with the PlayStation 4 console out the box

"Greetings PlayStation blog! As anticipation for this year’s PS4 launch bubbles into a froth of frenzied excitement, we know a few of you will be asking stuff like ‘but just how big is the damn thing? Will it fit snugly under my television? Can I stand it up? How many USB ports does it have?"

Hands-on with the PlayStation 4 console out the box

Because hands-on with the PS4 in the box just isn't quite as fun.

[Arai]

Oh...haha
I see what you/they did there :P

[saladthieves]

I knew it was going to be difficult, but I didn't expect it to be THIS FCUKING HARD.

[SolidStoner]

new analog sticks and camera are awesome... the design and features also are all I wanted to.. now everything that's left to be done is prepare a great spot for it and a new couch and let the time do its work.. :)

[abzdine]

that camera is sexy, compact and small.

[Syntax-Error]

The camera is exactly what it is...a camera. No voice recognition to control my console

[Chaostar]

You don't have to take the box off
To have a good time
Oh no

[pabadamus1]

All of this innuendo is getting me frisky. When I get mine home I might have to take care of business with the box on...you know what I mean. Chafing will ensue....you know what I mean

[Maddens Raiders]

I'm sorry, but this is simply a beautiful piece of tech. Another black beauty in homage to the mighty PS2. Good karma abound for Sony.

[xReDeMpTiOnx]

Greatness awaits

[BiggCMan]

Got me a launch day Killzone bundle, can't wait for this BEAST! Also, I did not know where the power and eject buttons were until I saw this video, really sleek location for them.

[iBlackyi]

The console looks so badass.

[miyamoto]

like a futuristic outer space fortress

[SynestheticRoar]

OH Yes. Let baller's play.

[sAVAge_bEaST]

This is a Duplicate,

[bligmerk]

Yeah, what is with all these idiots raising a repeat from last week to Hot status this week?

[Goro]

Sony posted this to the Playstation blog about 20 minutes before i submitted it to N4G

[FamilyGuy]

Watch the video, just because it's the same girl doesn't mean it's the same video. Either way this was JUST POSTED on the ps blog making it "new".

[sandman224]

My question is, do you have to plug the camera in the front of the console, or will there be a USB slot in the back of the ps4. I personally don't want to plug USB in the front unless its for charging purposes.

[Thegamer41]

It has its own port in the back.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

It plugs into the auxiliary port that she mentioned in the back.

[FamilyGuy]

Also:
It's a proprietary input on the back, not a usb port.
"Auxiliary input"

[shibster88]

Omg I hope its got alot of packaging in them boxes because its like an acient artifact need to be treated with respect and handle with care, I know I will I uave a little boy, so that shit is being bubble wrapped for sure.

[andibandit]

Yes i bubble wrapped your Ken Kutaragi lolita doll that you ordered, but im confused, thought you said you needed things to be discreet...?

[Stsonic]

The next stage in human evolution is almost here folks. I will be giving that baby so much love we will spawn the first humanoid.

[PablitoPaperito]

Do you even know what "humanoid" means?

[theDECAY]

No, he doesn't.

[thehitman]

At first I wasnt entirely impressed with the design, but the more close up pictures I see of it the sexier it looks and the more it grows on me. Cant wait for this Novmember!

[KwietStorm_BLM]

It definitely took time to grow on me. I remember when they showed it at E3, I was like..well that's interesting. But I like more every time I see it now.

[MoonConquistador]

I still don't think it's as nice looking as the original PS3 but each to their own I suppose

[ThisIsSolidSnake]

This year is going by fast so we'll have PS4 in no time.Chill kiddies.

[KazHiraiFTW]

"PS3 wasn't on time?"

Nope, it was delayed a year because of blu-ray. And Killzone 2 was delayed 2 years because Guerilla couldn't live up to the hype of the fake trailer that Sony showed during the PS3 reveal. So no, PS3 was not on time for many things.

[fsydow1]

Please, can someone lend me a time machine,damn I need that PS4 now!!!!!

[Groo]

you could freeze yourself, it worked for Eric Cartman

[adventureghost124]

Now if only they would play it :|

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

soon my son...soon.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

I really wish someone would come out and say how long the cable on the camera is.

[thebudgetgamer]

Five thousand feet.

[DragonKnight]

Knowing Sony, 6 feet.

[brianunfried]

It needs to be 20 feet if I'm gonna get one since I use a projector. Hope they release an extension cable.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

She has a really nice hair style.

[PablitoPaperito]

IS that Gemma Arterton??

[Jiggy7d]

That's 2 sexy things together......me likey:)

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

I would like to be on her,play the ps4 for numerous hours...then be on her again.

[Smoey]

The handles look like two chubby dildos...

[SniperControl]

WTF dude, which video you watching?

[Smoey]

It's a comment my other half stated. Once you see it you will always notice it. Look at the handles of the controller.

[boing1]

That's why they feel so great.

[Jiggy7d]

You seem to know a lot about dildos......:)

[THC CELL]

Got 3 of my kids a ps4 for Xmas

[BitbyDeath]

Each?

[DxTrixterz]

Wait, there is no disc tray? Ohh I guess scratched discs will be a big problem then.

[gobluesamg]

^^ Dumb

[denawayne]

Speaking purely on the design of the hardware, I have some problems with the PS4. First off, I just don't find it overall that great looking. It's not horrible either, though. Second, it would seem that people with fat fingers are going to have a hard time with the power and eject buttons. Third, plugging anything into the usb ports in the front will be a challenge due to the fact that the ports are recessed. Fourth, since the disc slot is also recessed, I can imagine many discs will become scratched from constantly scraping the front edge. I know these gripes are not deal breakers but could become an issue over time.

[badvlad]

less talk more touching

[Kydawg]

First thing I'm gonna do when I take my PS4 out the the box is take a poop on it!

[1OddWorld]

Nerd overload. I cant take it......

Fap Fap Fap Fap.....

Ahhhh yes that's better.

Zip.

[Fanboyssuck27]

Might get this as a secondary console to my Wii u. Ps4 has got a slight edge over xbone. Needs a price cut tho.

[MajorLazer]

A Wii U is your primary console? x'D it's a tertiary console at best

[Sincere0121]

lol u must be a blind fanboy. ps4 games can't compare to any nintendo games, they don't have free online play, and not backwards compatible. so ps4 can only be a secondary console as it lacks so much and it's overpriced.

wii u is and will be the best console out for a long time get used to it.

[JRH7783]

I didn't realize the camera was so small.....

[Thomaticus]

The PS4 is actually making the girl look hot....and it only needed 4.5GB!

[teezy]

Whattt'sss in the boxxxxxxx (how many of you get this reference?)

[illtornworld]

did anyone else getva boner? haha, *drools*

[Shad0wRunner]

Nothing we didnt already know. These new videos are just rehashing old news. I wanna see what they HAVENT shown yet. Turn on the OS, scroll thru the menu's, account settings and options...have Eric Lempel do a video on it. Do it now!

[evilhasitsway]

for some reasom I thought the camera was bigger that thing is tiny.

[DestinyHeroDoomlord]

Don't touch the precious things.!

[Foxgod]

Its kinda big from top view, but from all other sides its nice and small.

[CarnageXB]

I'm not really liking the power and eject buttons. They look to skinny and aren't flush. It looks like you need a long finger nail to press them. That could change with the final design though.
