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.

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

    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop by Sayan Sen Despite the advent of AI-generated imagery, Adobe's Photoshop remains one of the most popular tools on this planet. Adobe does not have a publicly reported total user count but it's probably not wrong to assume there are millions. As of 2025, Adobe Creative Cloud has had approximately 41 million paid subscribers, many of whom likely use Photoshop. In addition, more than 166,000 companies worldwide are apparently also using the app. These figures are according to a very recent report by SQ Magazine. Out of them, it is fair to assume that many are probably running Windows. As such, there is good news for these users as Microsoft has announced Photoshop is getting a big 20% performance boost on x86-64 (AMD64) systems and a 13% bump-up on Arm devices. This is definitely great news for them as many have complained about the slow performance and general sluggishness of Photoshop on Windows 11 ever since the advent of the latter back in 2021. If you are wondering how Microsoft managed to do this, the answer lies in a combination of compiler-level optimizations and a technology called Sample Profile Guided Optimization (SPGO). According to Microsoft, Adobe worked closely with the company’s Visual C++ team and adopted the latest MSVC toolchain enhancements together with SPGO to squeeze more performance out of Photoshop’s CPU-bound workloads. Unlike traditional Profile Guided Optimization (PGO), which requires developers to create special instrumented builds and run lengthy training workloads, SPGO gathers performance data directly from optimized release binaries. This means Adobe could collect real-world usage information which gives a major advantage to this technique, as companies could leverage data collected from actual customer workloads rather than only relying on synthetic benchmark runs. In theory, this should allow optimizations to better reflect how users interact with software in the real world. Thanks to this, there are improvements to code layout, function inlining, hot-and-cold code separation, and other low-level tweaks that help processors execute instructions more efficiently. Essentially the compiler is better able to identify “hot” code paths, those which are most frequently executed, and optimize them accordingly.

      Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.

      The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The tech specs are given below: Specification TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 2TB Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Interface PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Form Factor M.2 2280 M.2 2280 Controller InnoGrit Controller Samsung In-house Controller NAND Flash 3D TLC 3D TLC DRAM Cache None (HMB supported) 2GB LPDDR4 Sequential Read (Max) 5,000 MB/s 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write (Max) 4,500 MB/s 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4K) Up to 600,000 IOPS Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4K) Up to 700,000 IOPS Up to 1,550,000 IOPS TBW (Endurance) 1,300 TBW 1,200 TBW MTBF 3,000,000 hours 1,500,000 hours Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C -40°C to 85°C Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5ms 1,500G / 0.5ms Heatsink Patented Graphene Heat Spreader No Get them at the links below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) TEAMGROUP T-Force G50 2TB SSD (TM8FFE002T0C129): $279.99 (Sold by TeamGroup, Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
