Following yesterday’s announcement of the PS4 Pro, the official specification and photos of the upcoming console has been revealed. It’s now clear that the new PS4 won’t include a UHD Blu-ray drive, despite the console’s main selling point being its 4K compatibility. Even with that omission, the PS4 Pro still sports some serious hardware upgrades.
At the PlayStation Meeting today in New York City, Andrew House officially announced the PS4 Slim and new PS4 Pro models. The new Slim model will be available in most countries from September 15th, and will cost just $299 /£259. The PS4 Pro, the name for the 4K compatible console, is the official name of the PS4 “Neo”.
Later today, Sony will be holding the PlayStation Meeting at the PlayStation Theatre in New York City. The event itself is restricted to the press, but PlayStation fans are able to live-stream the event and catch all the new announcements as they happen. The event will kick-off at 8pm BST / 9pm CET / 3pm PT this evening, and Sony is expected to announce at least two new PS4 hardware revisions.
