It wobbles. That's a feature. I can't believe that for $400, it wobbles.

Been hearing rumblings that a porn was shot in this hotel room, or more likely, a hotel room that looks a lot like this one.

i got to say that i never expected a next-gen system to not be level when it's sat in a horizontal position. That will drive me nuts.

Oh and kudos to GB for pointing that out seeing as how every other unboxing has failed to mention this. great job guys as usual.

Why are you guys so NOT excited about the system like it's some lowmarket rip-off console. Too bad theres no Ryan there......

Your like: "yeah, we've got the PS4, it's here - ok let's get sumthin' to eat cuz i'm hungry", you just look a bit bored, theres no a bit of excitement - it looks like you've been forced to do it.

Come on - this is a new console, next-gen is here, it's happening !

People that stand their consoles vertically are terrible, of this we are sure.

I like a lot of Jeff's t-shirts. They tend to strike just the right balance between "funny" and "something an actual adult can wear outside".

It's crazy that they still only have 500GB hard drives in the new consoles. The launch games alone will fill up that space. 500 GB isn't even enough for the PS3, where the average game is less than 15 GB. I constantly have to juggle installed games and stuff on my 3 TB Steam hard drive on my PC as well.

Yeah, it's total bullshit. It's a way for them to sell us slightly-redesigned consoles in a few years. You can't push the digital revolution and then only include 500 GB. This is more of a gripe against the XBO if anything, though.

I know you can delete and manage your content, but it seems like making all digital, the way I want to go this generation, a hindrance to maintain a library of games.

You can also just put any 2.5" laptop HDD in there to upgrade the space.

@ptys: Agreed, especailly because over the past 2 years I've been doing a lot more PC gaming so this isn't as exciting. I waiting for TitanFall to get my Xbox One and Metal Gear 5 for the PS4.

This is why I'm just not into downloading all my games. I'll get the digital version of games like Pacman DX etc, but no way I'm downloading an Assassin's Creed game.

It just feels like digital gives the providers a little too much ability to make their games disappear. But then again, the patches and whatnot will make it hard to come back to these games years later. Too bad it won't be as simple as just plugging in your SNES and jamming in the cart.

So many people that cannot live without everything installed at the same time. Keep up the good work, you folks are the ones keeping the storage device industry alive.

Seriously, right? I'm amazed how many people don't have the problem solving skills to come to the conclusion that you can uninstall games once you're done with them.

I haven't used my PS3 for many games, but recently subbed to PS+ and wanted to get Uncharted 3 and Metal Gear Rising. It turns out my PS3 has like 111GB of total space (I thought it was 250GB when I got it!) and I couldn't download either of those games, so had to go through the god awful user interface (XMB) to try and uninstall stuff.

After several hours I managed to free up enough space to download and install the games, but I have to say, my experience was beyond annoying and I kept thinking about how good the XBOX360 does Storage management and downloading/installing games.

I can't wait to see how it is on the PS4.

I don't think these machines are as a big deal as the last generations, as we have many new and different devices coming out nowadays. Still cool to see though.

Man this thing look super cheap!

It's lopsided and it wobbles! You really are getting a $399.99 system.

This thing looks like the poor mans next gen.

Bring on Xbox ONE.

Didn't take long for the discussion to take a classist undertone....

Why are everyone raging so much about the uneven underside? You can easily put an rubberfeet of your own there and problem solved with no effort. It looks much nicer standing this way. I wouldnt be surprised if theres an extra rubberfeet hiding somewhere inside that box.

@the_nubster: they've always been on the back of the box.

Have they? I've never noticed; then again, never had to look. It wasn't much of an issue for me this past generation.

At first I thought this might be Alex's apartment and I was all whoa that's a killer view. :D

Wait, is that a hard plastic earbud? They didn't even do the soft squishy kind that is about a billion times more comfortable?

edit-- on closer inspection that is indeed a hard plastic earbud. What the hell, Sony? You, Sony, make several versions of the comfortable kind of in-ear headphone for cheap. What's the matter with you?

edit edit ---- looking forward to the final side by side size comparison with that betamax VCR Microsoft is calling the new xbox. >.<
