A new version of the PS4 console is on the way, though it doesn’t really bring much difference. The main difference between the new CUH-1215A model and the launch day model is that the new machine has a matte finish and a few other minor differences.
To some it may seem like a trivial thing but for those who’re keen to keep up with the trends it’s a big deal. At the time of writing it hasn’t officially been announced that the new CUH-1215A model is actually available in North America just yet, but one retailer seems to think it has some of the new PS4’s in stock.
Newegg has listed a PS4 500GB bundle that includes Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us for $399.99 – decent deal, but so what? Well, the product listing page notes the model number as being the new CUH-1215A. As we’re not in the United States of freedom we can’t just buy one and have a look to verify, so bear that in mind before you go throwing your money at the store in the hope of a new console – it may be new, but old, but still new. Ya dig?
