Video: unboxing a PS4 Debug console (DUH-T1000AA)

Hardware German website computerbild.de got their hands on a Debug PS4. Codenamed the DUH-T1000AA, the device looks like a regular PS4, and it goes without saying that I’m extremely jealous (being in Japan, the chances for me to get one of those in the foreseeable future are slim, especially since Amazon US don’t seem to be getting any new stock yet) .

The video doesn’t actually show much, besides the accessories and the actual device. In particular, they do not turn turn the console on or even plug it to a TV, so we don’t get to see the interface, or how exactly the debug unit is different from a standard PS4, except for a slightly mysterious “TEST” port at the rear of the console (is it really a port?).

If the PS4 is anything like the Vita (and I bet it is), a debug unit is probably not super useful in itself, as those need to be reactivated by their rightful “owner” regularly, otherwise they become unable to run anything. Nevertheless, it would be awesome to see it actually running something!

What’s your gaming gear going to look like in 2014? Are you getting a PS4?

      Good luck waiting up to 18 months for waiting for next-gen Intel CPUs and nVidia cards.

      As a PC gamer, I am not into the whole tick-tock release cycle.

      Regards AMD

        AMD don’t be suck a d***. I have an Alienware with AMD card and to be honest your drivers and support suck. Everything related to AMD made my computer a piece of crap. I yearn for an Nvidia card!

        @Shapeshifter. I like nVidia better because AMD takes so long to optimize the games for their drivers.

    “What’s your gaming gear going to look like in 2014? Are you getting a PS4?”

    I’ve already got my PS4 half paid for at a local game store, I’m committed at this point.
    I just recently bought a Wii U (Zelda bundle! I hope this thing doesn’t end up just gathering dust in a couple months…)
    My friends seem to be all about the Xbox One. I might pick one up, but not at launch. I don’t want Kinect at all, so I might get one sooner if they give us one without that accessory.
    I already have a Vita (which I enjoy quite a bit) and a 3DS XL. (which I barely play, but Pokemon just came out…)

      Bro, you live in Brazil, right?

      Just steal one, or kidnap someone’s daughter for ransom money and trade for a PS4. It’s easy.

    I could be wrong but that “test” port looks like a Kensington security slot.
