[video=youtube;gDLJ6S-Br0E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDLJ6S-Br0E[/video] Oh god. New theme [video=youtube;Ixjcv_ONfaY][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixjcv_ONfaY[/media][/video] [t]http://i.imgur.com/Z4AK6OX.jpg[/t]
So, what's so special about this besides it's grey? Does it have backwards comparability to let us flower into 20 years of nostalgia? Will it have more power built into it to run modern games even smoother to celebrate the future? Is it anything special besides that it's got a sticker and a paintjob?

Called this shiz half a year ago: [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/PS4/comments/2757m1/who_else_would_like_to_see_ps1themed_ds4s_sorry/[/url] [t]http://i.imgur.com/4zMawyt.jpg[/t] [t]http://puu.sh/9cuHq/0dde58af02.jpg[/t] That being said if they weren't so limited I'd buy one.
If i can, i'll try and get my hands on this. Might just be nostalgia talking but Grey seems to be a better color for the PS4 than black.
[QUOTE=Chains!;46627188]It has a theme with the PS1 startup sound.[/QUOTE] You can get that theme on any PS4 by downloading it from the store. It's not just for that specific console. [editline]3rd December 2014[/editline] Also I really fucking want that version of the console, but I got a standard black PS4 already so it's not worth it.
I fucking need this [editline]3rd December 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Tools;46627186]So, what's so special about this besides it's grey?

Doesn't seem all that special. Should have included a special firmware with the original PS1 boot sound. EDIT: Fucking ninja'd it does include one, that fucking cool.
[QUOTE=Psyke89;46627253]Doesn't seem all that special. Should have included a special firmware with the original PS1 boot sound.[/QUOTE] They released a theme with the PS1 boot sound, that's good enough.
always nice to see companies going back to their roots for nogalistic feelings maybe when there's an error they can copy this [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uHLQHjtPLE[/media]
On one hand, I don't really want a Playstation 4 yet, on the other hand, I can expect that collectors will pay a high price for this in 20 years.

Thats actually pretty cool. If only I had the money to buy one.
I never understood why they don't ship the fucking thing with two controllers.
[QUOTE=Crazy;46627841]I never understood why they don't ship the fucking thing with two controllers.[/QUOTE] Because you only need one to use it.
A little too expensive for my wallet, plus I am a little "meh" over the Anniversary Theme. I literally thought it was going to spit out the original PS startup screen (in glorious HD 4:3 resolution) then fade to the basic PS4 menu.
I want one, but more to look at than use.
I hope by worldwide they also mean reasonably accessible here in Aus, would love to get one of these
I want it just for the glorious orgasm inducing startup sound of the PS1
[QUOTE=Crazy;46627841]I never understood why they don't ship the fucking thing with two controllers.[/QUOTE] Because each console unit is already sold at a loss. And then because the XB1 also ships with only one controller, Sony has to either keep the same price they have now to compete, increasing their loss, or raise their price to accommodate the controller, making the XB1 appear more affordable.
[QUOTE=Chains!;46627188]It has a theme with the PS1 startup sound.[/QUOTE] It would have been impressive if they actually made it look similar to an original Playstation, but a color change and a startup sound is just gimmicky. A grey PS4 isn't anything to write home about, you can literally print or mould a shell of a different color with minimal difficulty. As for the sound, it provides no extra functionality besides being there.
Wait is the theme free to download? [editline]3rd December 2014[/editline] Sweet mother of potato salad you can.
Just mass-produce that stuff.

It's kind of sad that home consoles are all just black, shiny/ matt things right now. The little things like the Xbox's green circle, the PS2's blue line, and the GameCube's purple colour scheme always helped to make them pop out and seem just a little bit different from your DVD player.

OP, you should probably swap that second video with this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixjcv_ONfaY[/media] It's direct feed.

I'm buying one if I can get my hands on one, I don't own a ps4 yet... I already have these: [thumb]http://img.pr0gramm.com/2014/08/29/99da7e5bdf141e50.jpg[/thumb]
