hey everyone Jeff Bakalar up at e3 2013 we're here at Sony's booth I can't exactly touch it right behind this glass is the PlayStation 4 that we just found out about it the company is III press conference it is a lot smaller than we thought and it does seem to appear to be a little bit smaller than the Xbox one it's got a interesting sort of angled edge to it we can't really see any of the ports here but we do know that it has HDMI out and we can see that there's two USB ports by checking out the side of the console right here the PlayStation 4 is a blu-ray player and a DVD player all right here it is that Dual Shock 4 it's the first time I'm getting my hands on what that middle sensor feels like it's kind of one big button you can push it from really anywhere on the entire surface of it it does feel a little wider than the DualShock 3 but I really have to get them side-by-side not a gigantic difference on the actual button face buttons here but I'm super excited to find out that the analog sticks have a much more reliable grip to them the d-pad is pretty similar to the original DualShock 3 let's check out the triggers here you can see the color sort of led back here that's going to work with the PlayStation camera the touchpad is flanked by a share and options button and then it looks like we've got a speaker right below that as well and then that is the police-station partner so this has been a first look at the PlayStation 4 it'll be $400 when it releases later on and this year I'm Jeff Bakalar for cnet.com thanks for watching
