Looks like a security hole to me. I think external SSD is gonna be the way. Of course we need more details.

Damn she's a big girl, but it's all good.

Will be interested to see where the expansion slot is going to be, it looks like it might be at the top in either the piece with the hole or the bit underneath. Hopefully we get a breakdown video soon.

Still hoping to find out the white panels come off and can be changed to something else, like a nice black, or even maybe with a stand built in.

This is one hideous looking console, especially horizontally placed.

Good this I went with DE and will use it vertically.

Ugly as sin, but that matters little to me. Just hope it's silent, really hope for details on that soon.

I really dig the design. I hate boring console looks!

Era: It's ugly
Girlfriend: It's beautiful

I love her :)

I would have to think that this design is focused on making it less noisy. Would be shocking if it was as noisy as the PS4 Pro.

I do want to believe after all the criticism that got, they did prioritize noise this time. Also it doesn't make sense to have a super advanced 3D audio chip if the console itself is going to drown the sound anyway.

The look of this thing hasn't aged well, and it's not even released yet. I do like the use of white, blue and black, though. Hopefully the revision maintains these colors.

vertical reminds me of the Atari symbol
i don't get what the base is supposed to clamp on in the horizontal position...?

edit: nvm

A great combination: huge and ugly. Where the hell am I going to put this thing, I don't think it's going to fit behind my TV like I planned...

Wait...so that clamp on the stand must rotate right? Otherwise it would be sticking out at a funny angle in the vertical position. Or maybe you can remove it?

I wish we had accurate dimensions for the stand, I need to know if it can fit on my shelf.

I both admire and hate how it looks. I am wondering where the fucking thing is going to go on Nov 19th. It won't fit in the Ikea Expedit shelves, that's for sure.

Absolute beast.

So what your saying is this probably doesn't fit in an IKEA Kallax Shelf? I might have to rethink my purchase because of that. Dang it.

Not fussed about the size because like my other systems it will be behind my TV. For better or worse I'm actually looking forward to seeing it in person.

That HDMI cable looks quite short, might have it get a 2.1 one that's a little longer. Also, still can't find the expansion slot for the storage. Maybe under one of its wings!

How the "largest projection" can ended up being 100mm more?!
My cabinet is 450mm, I am doomed. And now I need to find a way to put it vertically (and I have a cat...).

I suspect the "largest projection" is referring to the stands clamp that adds a few mm to 390mm or the 260mm depending on the orientation you use.

My god is this thing a mess design wise.

A look at that intrincated base design just shows how unnecessary over the top the design is. Its like designing a fucking chair and then having to buy two extra legs at IKEA so it can stand still. Just terrible.

What a ridiculous looking console lol, hoping I like it more in person. Anyway, we don't buy consoles because of how they look right?

Yep, I think in both horizontal or vertical position, the clamp rotates around and snaps onto the back vents. Pretty cool.

Norway but living in France
So if I put it horizontally one side will be showing heaps of labeling and barcodes... why didn't they somehow work that on the back.

I actually like that it's thicker than I thought, less of a pancake and more of a triple whopper.

I love me some thiccness and this is THICC. I like it. I like that it doesn't look boring and flat.

Man, it's kinda a huge bummer. I don't wanna change my living room setup for a console, and it'll stick out like a sore thumb. Gah!

Yeah same here! I just don't know right now, it's annoying. The PS4 was such a compact, discreet little system in comparison. Easy! This fucking thing, Jesus!

I guess Sony will sell a lot of the revision/Pro model which look less like a router 😂

I mean no... But why should they look fucking awful?

Because the side position is totally an after thought. Just another sign of bad design practice.
