I'm glad they reversed their foolish decision to not include a headset.
Also, the power button is quite sleek. The Kensington lock is also an interesting addition...

I know it'll probably be crap, but I think it's smart to include one.
The new d-pad on the controller looks nice.
ETA: I also wish it didn't have a "power brick" and that they showed the length of the cable for the Kinect. My TV is kinda far away from my consoles.

I'm glad someone else is using more than just the front and back of the system for plugging things in. USB on top/side is cool.

If it didn't have a power brick the console would have to be large enough to have the power the power supply inside it.
Which I would actually like. I want these things to be standard home audio/video component sized.

Sweetness. That guy's wedding ring is terrible.

I can't tell you how many times I rage when trying to plug my USB cable into the front flip up slot of the 360.

I did that a couple days ago and wanted to break that flap in the front. so annoying

I would too. I prefer the console be one piece. I think it's interesting Sony managed to put their power supply in the PS4 but it's substantially smaller than the Xbox One.
FWIW - I'm not saying this is some sort of game changer or a reason to buy one over the other. Just making an observation so everybody just chill.

I thought they said it wouldnt have a brick?
I dont care personally but I thought one of the guys that saw it at the debut said there was no brick

The unboxing video above shows a power brick. Major Nelson even calls it that by name, which made me chuckle.

I know that it was in the unboxing. like I said I thought the guy said there wouldnt be one when it was debuted. I see the one there and understand it has one

People are silly about these power bricks.
The more processing power that gets shoved in to these consoles, the more power it takes to run them.
I can't help but wonder if the PS4 may have some overheating issues. There does not appear to be much in the way of venting on that box.

I don't know if it's a direct coorelation. PS3 didn't have a power brick and it didn't have overheating issues (the launch models fans are loud though). The 360 did have a brick and overheating issues were the biggest cause of hardware failure.

AMD’s Jaguar is quite power efficient, capable of low single digit idle power so I would expect far lower idle power consumption than even the current slim Xbox 360 (50W would be easy, 20W should be doable for truly idle). Under heavy gaming load I’d expect to see higher power consumption than the current Xbox 360, but still less than the original 2005 Xbox 360.

The latest version consumes just 60W on the menu or up to 80W while running a game, but the PS4 could take things even lower while still pulling of sophisticated functions -- such as acting as a game hub for a connected PS Vita, or running always-on facial recognition with the new sensor-laden Eye module.
The 28nm Jaguar cores in the PS4 are an evolution of AMD's Bobcat silicon, which was used in netbook processors that generally maxed out at 18W. According to slides recently released by AMD, a quad-core Jaguar chip will consume up to 25W. Even if the PS4 doubles that, with eight cores burning 50W, that'd still be a lot quieter and easier to cool than a recent PS3.

I have a launch model PS3. I've had no hardware failures but you are right. That thing can get VERY loud.

I dont care if there is a brick or not. It just gets put behind the center anyways. I was just saying I thought I heard there wasnt one
