Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., has announced that the
PlayStation®4 (PS4™) (CUH-1000A series) computer entertainment system will come
in “Jet Black” color and will be available this holiday season in North America
and Europe at a recommended retail price of US$399, Canada $399, €399, and
£349. The prices for the rest of the world has not yet been made available.
The design of PS4 made its public debut at the PlayStation®
press conference on June 10, 2013, which kicked off the Electronic
Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles. PS4 will also be displayed this week at
the Sony Computer Entertainment America booth at E3, one of the world's largest
video game exhibitions.
The internal design architecture of the PS4 system, from
the optical drive and power supply unit to the cooling mechanism, has been
pursued to keep the body as slim and light as possible to dramatically enhance
the flexibility of the design.
The PS4 features a simple but modern design accentuated by
its linear flat form factors. The surface of the PS4 body is subdivided into
four sections, as if four blocks are stacked together making one figure, with disc
slot, buttons, power indicator and vent placed within the slim interspace
created between the sections. The power indicator designed atop the body will
glow in a PlayStation blue color when the power button is turned on.
The foreside and backside of the body is slightly angled;
it not only gives users easy access to the power button and disc slot when
placed either horizontally or vertically but also helps conceal the connected
cables. The black-themed color along with the matte and gloss finish adds a
sophisticated look to the PS4 system as the next generation entertainment
system and will fit perfectly wherever it is placed.
PS4 peripherals include the stand-alone Wireless Controller
for PlayStation®4 (DUALSHOCK®4) and PlayStation®Camera, which will be available
at launch for RRP of US$ 59, Canada$ 59, € 59 and £ 54, and US$ 59, Canada$ 59,
€ 49 and £ 44 respectively. Both accessories will come in “Jet Black” color.
The upcoming software lineup for PS4 from software
developers and publishers will include Destiny™ from Bungie, Inc., in
partnership with Activision Publishers, Inc., Diablo® III from Blizzard
Entertainment, Inc., KINGDOM HEARTS III and FINAL FANTASY® XV from SQUARE ENIX,
Assassin’s Creed® IV Black Flag™ and Watch_Dogs™ from Ubisoft Entertainment,
NBA® 2K14 from 2K Sports, The Elder Scrolls® Online from Bethesda Games Studios

Interactive Entertainment, totaling more than 110 titles. PS4 has earned great support from a wide variety of
