Sony teases PS4 design

Sony will lift the lid on the PlayStation 4 at its E3 press briefing June 10, but the company provided tantalizing glimpses of the console's design in a brief teaser video today.

The clip consists of 39 seconds of a blurred-out black box, interspersed with quick flashes of console close-ups. Sony announced the PS4 in mid-February, but did not show off the actual hardware. We'll finally get to see it at E3 during the company's press briefing, which is set for 9 p.m. ET June 10.

Looks weird, to me it looks like a cube, the fan vent image looks quite big.

Yet if it had a Microsoft logo it would be the best thing ever right?

well be seeing the actual thing from MS in a couple of hours as opposed to the 'best thing ever' from sony where basically they showed game demos and a try hard controller...

Tomorrow actually.

Rumours are that Microsoft are going to have two events like Sony, talk about the new xbox and their vision for the future and to show a few games off and leave the big reveal for E3.

Stop with the childish idiotic Sony bashing.

Thank **** it's matte.

Less dust and surface scratches is welcomed :D

Your MS fanboy bias is obvious from not only this post but your posting history and your ignorance in regards to what they actually did reveal is telling. As a result, your "opinion," and I use that word lightly, means nothing as it is tainted and clearly meant to incite. Crisp is 110% right, you really do make other fans of MS look like idiots as well. Way to go.

I jumped on the PS3 launch gloss bandwagon saying it made the console look expensive.... I still do think that, but only when it's 100% unnaturally pristine and inside a dust free room. That fatty got scratched/fingerprinted and grew vicious dust beards constantly.

I am definitely now on team matte.

I think Polyphony should have made a Gran Turismo 6 for the PS4 as well as for the PS3! I think not having a Gran Turismo at launch is a mistake! The biggest and most idiotic thing that sony is doing is not putting out of the box backwards compatibility with PS3 games!

This teasing is stupid. Just reveal it already.

We're a couple of weeks away from E3, would be rather silly not to open E3 with a "bang".

The console either wasn't ready to be shown earlier in the year, or the plan was to show it at E3 all along. This teaser is merely to get social media/news headlines stealing a little time from MS.

I dont know what the hell is wrong with sony that they are not putting the ability to play ps3 games. That is a major fail and a deal breaker! I am still angry they did not put a ps2 emulator in the ps3. Its unacceptable not to include backwards compatiblity in the ps4, most especially that people spent 100s of dollars on ps3 games! I have about over $300 dollars in ps3 games, if i buy a ps4, I should be able to play them. :angry:

Zoom and enhance!

Not only we'll find what PS4 looks like, but we'll find out where this video was taken by lip reading people in reflections of licence plates of some cars passing by the windows of a building on the other side of the street clearly visible in photographer's teeth showing on the PS4 despite it having a matte finish.

No reflections in CGI :p

    • Samsung announces Galaxy A27 5G with 120Hz AMOLED display, expanded AI features, and more by Fiza Ali Samsung has announced the Galaxy A27 5G, its latest mid-range smartphone, bringing a handful of upgrades over last year's Galaxy A26 5G. While the changes aren't dramatic, they touch several areas that people tend to notice most in day-to-day use, including the display, performance, and software support. One of the more noticeable updates is the screen. The Galaxy A27 5G comes with a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display that now supports a 120Hz refresh rate, making scrolling and animations appear smoother. Samsung has also switched to an Infinity-O punch-hole camera design, which leaves more room for the display and gives the phone a cleaner look from the front. Under the hood, the Galaxy A27 5G is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor. The company says the new chip brings improved responsiveness in multitasking, gaming, and media consumption. The company also highlights GPU performance improvements and faster memory technology, which should contribute to smoother graphics rendering, quicker data handling, and improved power efficiency. Furthermore, Samsung has equipped the Galaxy A27 5G with a 12-megapixel selfie camera that is capable of capturing a wider dynamic range and more accurate colours. Like many smartphones launched recently, the Galaxy A27 5G also places a strong focus on AI features. Circle to Search with Google now supports multi-object recognition, making it easier to search for different products or items at the same time. The tech giant says the feature can also support virtual outfit try-ons directly from compatible search results. Photo editing tools are getting some attention as well, with Object Eraser updated to deliver cleaner edits when removing unwanted objects or people from images. Meanwhile, the Voice Recorder app can now transcribe and translate speech simultaneously in one of the 22 supported languages, which could be useful for meetings, lectures, or interviews. Samsung is also expanding AI assistant options on the device, with support for Google Gemini and Perplexity alongside Bixby. The company says these assistants will work more closely with Galaxy apps, including Gallery, to simplify common tasks. Samsung continues to strengthen its long-term software support policy with the Galaxy A27 5G. The smartphone will receive up to six generations of Android OS and One UI updates, along with six years of security patches from its initial global launch. In terms of security, the device includes Samsung Knox and Knox Vault, which are designed to help protect sensitive information stored on the phone. On the flip side, while the company is positioning the Galaxy A27 5G as a step forward from its predecessor, not every change is necessarily an upgrade. One of the first things buyers may notice is the higher price tag. The device launches at $349, making it $50 more expensive than the Galaxy A26 5G's $299 starting price. The selfie camera has also been reduced from 13MP to 12MP, while the ultrawide camera drops from 8MP to 5MP. Samsung has further downgraded the phone's dust and water resistance rating from IP67 to IP64. The Galaxy A27 5G is also marginally thicker at 7.8mm. The Galaxy A27 5G will be available in select markets starting July 3 and will come in four colour options, including Black, Blue, Light Green, and Light Pink. The company will also offer Samsung Care+ coverage plans for customers seeking additional device protection.
    • Doogee and Ulefone regularly release phones with 10k-25k mAh batteries, but those are bricks. I don't understand how they could make it only weigh 220 grams with a battery that size.
    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates by Taras Buria Windows 10 reached its end of life at the end of 2025. Microsoft kicked off the Extended Security Updates program, aimed at giving regular consumers one more year of security-only updates. By doing so, Microsoft gave users more time and money to update their computers to a newer operating system or compatible hardware. Now, with the end of the Extended Security Updates program quickly approaching, Microsoft is making an important adjustment. Users discovered that the official support article for the program now lists a new end-of-support date: The Extended Security Updates program is not a new concept. It has been an official way for business consumers to continue receiving critical updates for unsupported Microsoft products for many years. However, all this time, it was a business-only, paid feature. With Windows 10, Microsoft brought ESU to regular consumers, allowing them to get security updates for Windows 10 past October 2025 essentially for free. When Windows 10 was approaching the end of support, many guessed that Microsoft might adjust its support timelines, and this is exactly what seems to be happening. Of course, Microsoft would love everyone to switch to new computers, such as its latest Surface devices, but in the days of ever-growing hardware prices, not everyone is lucky enough to have money for a new PC. Leaving hundreds of millions of customers with a Windows version that no longer receives security updates is a major risk that Microsoft is not willing to take. If you have a Windows 10 PC to enroll in the Extended Security Updates program, check out this guide to learn how to do so.
    • Sony announces Bungie layoffs that will affect "significant number of employees" by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sony today announced that major layoffs are happening at its first-party studio Bungie, the developer that has spawned series like Halo, Destiny, and Marathon over the past decades. The news arrives just weeks after Bungie delivered the final update to Destiny 2, and it's that team being hit with the layoffs the most. CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment Hermen Hulst revealed the staff reduction today, calling it "painful news." "Over the past several months, together with Bungie leadership, we reviewed the studio’s long-term direction, development priorities, resource needs, and role within our broader portfolio strategy," said Hulst, explaining the decision. "We explored multiple alternatives before concluding that a reduction was necessary to align the studio’s resources with its current priorities and long-term goals." The layoffs will be hitting "a significant number of employees" across most of the Destiny franchise development team. It doesn't look like Sony is planning to continue the series following Destiny 2's sunsetting update. The studio is said to be in early stages of looking at other projects to pivot to, but it's said that keeping the size of the team at current levels is no longer feasible. "We know this decision has a profound impact on the people affected, their families, friends, and teammates," said Bungie leadership in a separate message on social media. "While these changes are necessary to best position the studio now and for the future, that does not lessen the difficulty of this moment or the impact it has on those affected." At the same time, "some" of the Marathon development team are also affected by the layoffs. The recently released multiplayer-only extraction shooter title hasn't seen a big boom of players either, but the company is reportedly hoping that the live service experience will pick up players with future updates.
