Briefly: Surprise!

We’ve seen leaked photos… and we’ve also seen it unboxed, booted, and taken apart, and now it’s finally official.

Yep, during today’s Playstation event, Sony officially revealed a new, slimmer variant of the current PS4 console.

The console is coming next week, September 15th, for a cool $299 (USD). Naturally, the unit is about 30% smaller than the previous iteration, and has all of the internals of the PS4’s previous version (including a 500GB HDD), except for the optical audio port.

According to Sony, this new model will not support 4K Blu-Rays, but will support HDR movies and gaming.

Are you planning to pick one up? Or is the PS4 Pro more your fancy? Be sure to sound out in the comments below!
