Ironman273 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 The PS4 Has Tiny PlayStation Screws Inside[ German site Computer Bild have got hold of a devkit PS4 and cracked it open. Their findings aren't terribly important to the average user - though it looks like swapping HDDs will be a cinch - but they did find one thing of interest. Dat screw. Such needless effort. So adorable.

neufuse Veteran Posted October 18, 2013 Veteran Share Posted October 18, 2013 here I was expecting tiny screws inside the PlayStation, not tiny PlayStation button symbols on a screw :rofl: Arceles 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1182883-the-ps4-has-tiny-playstation-screws-inside/#findComment-596032205 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lingwo Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Very nice touch. For something that no one will see. It's an easter egg! This is the reason Xbox got its name because they can just use standard cross head screws and have the symbol already... money saving :laugh: Draken and Juan4Ever 2 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1182883-the-ps4-has-tiny-playstation-screws-inside/#findComment-596032215 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astra.Xtreme Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Hmm, well if those appear in the retail version, then they're only hurting their margins with something useless like that.

Biohead Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Nice touch if it does make it to retail... although if it does I see it being one of those feature that makes it in the original models, then is quietly removed in later versions.

Draconian Guppy Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Hmm, well if those appear in the retail version, then they're only hurting their margins with something useless like that. Yup. Why? Form over function is the principal of a good design /sarcasm.

soniqstylz Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Great, now where am I going to find a screwdriver with a square/circle/triangle/cross?

LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted October 18, 2013 Veteran Share Posted October 18, 2013 i love small things like this, like on the slim line PS2 the PS logo would rotate so that it would be upright no matter which orientation the console was in.

firey Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 i love small things like this, like on the slim line PS2 the PS logo would rotate so that it would be upright no matter which orientation the console was in. Was actually present on ALL PS2s. I have an original PS2 fat (with the expansion bay) and the PS logo rotates.
