Playstation 4 Clear
Forget all your Playstation 3s. Forget your Playstation 3 thin models with multiple lovely colors, forget even the earlier design by this same designer, Tai Chiem, that PSP 2 concept he whipped up last year, no! Check this thang out. It’s the Playstation 4. Tai Chiem’s Playstation 4 concept: that’s how you know it’s wild. And with clear material and minimalistic aesthetics in play, you’ve got one Tai-tastic amalgamation, to be sure.
BONUS: that other spaceshippy looking thing is his “xbox 720.” Lollers! I’m reminded of the comic on Penny Arcade where they first talk about the xbox controller being harder to hold than a grizzly bear. It’s HUGE!
SO! PS4! What’ve we got here? Bluetooth integration, plastic/glass backs and middles. LCD screen(s) on both the controller and the system itself. The same classic aesthetic bone structure for the controller that PS has always had. The same ability to turn the system on it’s side (I always thought that was a super-simple super-genius feature of the PS series.) And the continuation of the standard “CD” disk size for games.
I’m hoping for the games to come in cube form, allowing you to just scan the cube for a new game. How cool would that be? Totally cool.
Designer: Tai Chiem

Al says
yeah, disc based console? not gonna do it
USB (flash memory) and WiFi is all you gonna need on that sucka. solid state drive for storage.
back to the drawing board but that ok, you’ve got another year or so…

Um, by the time we have things that look like that, all of our games will be delivered over the Internet. It’s already happening. Apart from that, looks pretty cool.

I dunno. Personally, I think the design of the PS2 Flat should be the template for every next PlayStation. Not really fond of the “CD player” compartment that seems to be housing most internals.
What I like about this design though is the gamepad.

I doubt we’ll ever want to loose the physical format. It’s something that not only can rise in value, but also is a physical copy. No one will take that one from you, ever (ala Kindle).

Clear stuff like this only looks good in a store. That’ll get dirty, dusty & scratched very quickly and look like ass. Same as with shiny-polished plastics. The stuff looks good in photos & stores but it’s poor for home use.

Clear = Futuristic. You cant just remove the L and R buttons because your clear design doesn’t have room for them. the console looks like a cutting board with a scale on it. Or the front of a washing machine. Think more thin, slim, unobtrusive… Less Alien.

Superbe…
phi says

This not being made would be a crime against humanity
Garmin 1490T says
It’s not as crazy as it sounds. But consumers shouldn’t expect the console until 2010 at the soonest.
guest says
2010? the ps3 isn’t even old yet!
natalia c. says
this play station 4 is cool! i would buy it but then i think i would get addicted to this thing, which is not a good thing…
Evan says
That is not the Xbox 720. Microsoft has announced that there will not be any definitive design until around 2011-12.
anonymous says
this makes me wet in the pants.
hopefully they ram it ass with graphics no company wants to produce anymore
and the cube idea would be awesome
Mark says
well it looks good. no one can change how it looks. so people complaining sorry. abunch of people don’t want a president to be in office but it happens. i think it’ll work fine and be good enough for everyone.
