New PS4 Model Announced
Sony has just announced a new PS4 model launching first in Japan at the end of this month, and in other territories later on. This is the CUH-1200 series and brings the following differences:
Weight reduced by 10%
Power consumption down by 8%
HDD cover now has same matte finish as the rest of the system
It isn't entirely new, so it is coming with the same 500GB HDD with the suggested retail price of $399/€399. It has not been stated whether the US will actually be getting the standalone glacier white system as an option, as it is currently only available as part of the Destiny bundle in the US.
In related news, starting on July 15th, the 1TB model of the PS4 will be available in select Europe and PAL territories. This will be the standard design and offer no changes except for the higher capacity HDD. According to a Playstation France Facebook post the price will be the same as the 500GB model, heavily implying an incoming 500GB model price drop.
To sum up:
- A new more uniform PS4 model is coming probably to mostly silently replace current models on the market
- The 1TB model finally has a release date for Europe with other regions waiting on an announcement, although it will not have any of the new revisions at launch
