Earlier ths morning, Sony held it's press conference and focused on 2 new proucts The PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro.
The PS4 slim that was leaked around 2 weeks ago have been officially unveiled and will cost around $299. If converted into Philippine Pesos, it's roughly around 14,000 pesos direct conversion which is a little cheaper compared to the original release. Of course, once it reaches our shores, taxes will be inclued so expect it around 16,000 pesos at most.
Check out the video below from Eurogamer to see the unveiling of the PS4 Slim:
Also mentioned in the conference is the upcoming Playstation VR which already has a price of around 22,900 pesos for the vr headset alone and if bundled with a camera, it's around 25,290 pesos. I for myself want to try this but the crazy amount of the device turned me off.
Now for the other console that has been rumored late June this year. The PS4 Neo as what it was originally codenamed as been officially unveiled and it is now properly called PS4 Pro.

Honestly, the only difference of the pro to the ordinary PS4 is the 4k resolution and the graphics engine used has been doubled. I'd like to see a video comparison of the PS4 Pro and Ps4 side by side to notice the difference. The good thing however is that PS4 Pro would not require PS4 Pro only bluray discs as they can play any PS4 game disc as it is. The console enhances the current games.
