Nothing is 'wrong' with them, a lot of members on the site have read that a new model has been released, attached to that information and asked at every given possibility if said post is the new chassis.

You will also find that most asking don't have a PlayStation 4, yet seem highly educated on an actual comparison :smiley:

Sorry :disappointed: I rarely post but happened to see them tweet it and thought i'd see if i still remembered how to post deals :smile:

Here are some tests run between the two models...



Oh, and its a matte finish

May as well get it out of the way as it seems to be of great importance as of late.

"Is this the new Chassis?" :smirk:

Excellent price, nice find!

Oh :neutral_face: Got in before me :disappointed: Great deal, Might actually take a punt at the price :smiley:

Never seen the same deal posted within seconds of each other like that.. Unlucky there FD... :wink:

very good price, are simply games ok to deal with. Grey imports etc

Wow, £250 was my bite point as I am confident we will see £250 on Black Friday for this model...

I am in :smiley: on this one

Makes the £329 for the Uncharted Bundle people made hot a bit silly


EDIT! it is the old model FFS no buy from me, you can always tell when it is the old model as you have to go looking to find out, when it is the new on they always say in my experience

Official Release Date: 17th July 2015

You're back! Where have you been hiding all that time?

Anyone know if they sell grey goods or UK goods?

Seems a really good price

i would buy this anyone want to buy a mint ps3 boxed ?

Cheapest so far - heat :smiley:

Easiest way to tell is look at the picture of the PS4, if it is matt only it is the new C chassis, if it has the shiny bit (as this one does) then it is older B chassis.

I don't get it, what's wrong with this older model?

Actually the new model runs hotter than the old model and is just as loud on certain games, overall its quieter though, however to answer the original question there is nothing really "wrong" with the older models, they work just the same and its not a big improvement/fix like the old 360 to slim 360 was.

Awesome price mate :smiley: HOT.

thanks, ​those sound tests are telling... 60dbs vs 50 is a huge difference.... so tempted with this deal but might hold out....

no you've asked twice now. message not going through? plus there is a for sale area.

All jokes aside, if the new model is important to you, its only £5 more through this post.

I've linked the thread over the retailer so you can take time to read through the comments where a member stated Shopto had confirmed it as the new model, if still in doubt, maybe contact Shopto :smiley:

still waiting for a bit cheaper

Great price heat added!!!

Wish it included Fifa 16

Post misleading as its not the new chassis..

Its not just the noise with the newer model - draws less wattage = less £ for electric bills.

So the ammount this is used, probably works out better to spend the extra £30 odd for the new model as you will save this in bills in no time!

The new new model is cooler, but can feel hotter on the case. Electronic need to move heat away from the core and to the outside to help cool down. The new ps4 does this much better, it's the cooler core which lets the fans spin slower.

It's funny that as I find it is those who already have a ps4 constantly telling people there is none or not much difference, yet they don't own the new one, every independent test recommends buying the new one, that is why people ask as it is important... Now don't get me wrong if this was £200 I would say there is your reason to get the old version.... But anything within £50 people should absolutely get the new chassis

I saw one post yesterday where someone who owned a ps4 claiming the old one was a lot quieter than the new version

All in my opinion though

how much?

Heat for this price. You guys must have bought **** mark one PS4'S. . mine is virtually silent

I think I'm going to get this! HOT HOT HOT! :smile:

UK legit company.

Great find op

Great find op

Sony haven't released the 1TB C Chassis into the UK yet. There's been a filing but no official model. So you can either wait and hope, or get playing now.

I'm looking for an additional wireless pad for a ps4, can anyone help? TIA

Right coming from a PS3 is this worth getting ?

I have never cared how much noise a console has made.

My surround sound system drowns out whatever console noise there is just fine...

yawn

Please could you provide a pic of your C chassis model no? There is no evidence of a 1TB C chassis anywhere yet, apart from an FDA filing. I'm not calling you a liar, just haven't seen any evidence of them out in the wild.

No bother, here are the pictures of box and console.

It is worth noting, for those who don't know the decibel scale, that this test means the old PS4 is about twice as loud as the new one when playing games (since the scale isn't linear) which is a significant step up in volume. In real terms it is likely the difference of being able to hear the unit during gameplay with normal volume through your TV and not. Given the choice I'd pay a few more quid for a newer model, but if I already had the older model I wouldn't be in any rush to replace it.

Aren't the Nathan Drake 1TB bundles all the new model since they feature an all matte finish? A fair few people on here have reported getting the newer model in the past few weeks, I doubt they are all lying (and it isn't hard for Sony to make them since they are just a 512GB model with a 1TB HDD in instead). Where are you getting your information from that it hasn't been released in the UK?

There are some matte models (isn't the 1TB matte by default?) but I've not seen any CUH-12xxB models around. The "Ultimate Player" is meant to be matte but still the old hardware.
There's nothing saying it hasn't, just nothing saying it has. I've not seen any evidence anywhere that people have the 12xxB in their hands. If they do, excellent!

Awesome, that's confirmation enough for me, thanks very much! So there we go, we have the scoop it seems :smile:
Sadly John lewis don't have any more of them!

Yeah some nice games

Why would you get the old model for 260 when you can get the new model for about 10 more elsewhere

I just looked on the john lewis web site and they are not saying they are out of stock!!

Amazon.fr I think was the first to sell the new 1tb version almost a month ago. Seen a few places selling them now in the uk.

great deal, shame i bought one already

​I've had it since release so I doubt it lol, its obviously not dead silent but Its barely noticeable and its nowhere near as loud as my Xbox One.

I picked up a new 1TB version last month from Game.

The 1TB Ps4 being bundled with the Nathan Drake collection is also the newer C chassis version.

So what y'all are saying is that, even though there has been no official announcement, nobody has reviewed one, simply games haven't seen a new model code (apparently), there's nothing on Google about them being out and the PS Dev Wiki haven't updated about it's release date, there are actually a ton out there! HUKD to the rescue it seems. Now to find one cheap :smile:

That's one reeled in.....next.

What do people think will be the price of a 1TB PS4 on Black Friday?

I went for the new chassis 1TB with fifa 16, MGS5 and mad max (&3mth now tv) for £350 from GAME. and cancelled my unchartered pre order from amazon.

​Not that I care but..silent PS4'S are

you really think so ??? £229 9 9 where from ?? amazon B Friday you think

very tempted by this deal omg

I have a new one and my kids have my launch day model. The new one is quieter but not by much. Once you get into a heavy gaming session they are both noticeable.

I have noticed that the newer model takes longer for the fan to spin down when you exit a game compared to the older model which the fans span down pretty much instantly.

I would buy which ever is cheaper and spend the saving on games tbh.....

Are you Yoda?

Its a guess so how would he know where? Lol

:stuck_out_tongue:

The only time I've heard a PS4's fan being particularly noisy is when it's in a poorly ventilated area. A mate of mine keeps his under the bed with a valance covering the side so there's literally no access for air circulation under there (I have suggested he moves it because it won't survive long in that place). So the fan's going overtime. Mine on the other hand has a good 20cm either side and plenty of room at the back and I can honestly say even at a low volume I can't hear the thing. Good ventilation is the key to lower noise.

Saying that, I'm more envious about the non-touch buttons on the front of the new model. Can't clean the thing without accidentally switching it on. Irritating design and a perfect example of style over substance.

Oos

Sold out bad times

hahah :wink:
