The PS4 “Fat” refers to the original PlayStation 4 model that was released in November 2013. It’s commonly called the “Fat” PS4 due to its bulkier, larger design compared to the later slim and pro versions.
Key features of the PS4 Fat:
- Larger size: It has a bigger footprint and weighs more than the newer models (around 2.8 kg).
- Hard drive: Comes with a 500 GB or 1 TB HDD, which is upgradeable.
- Ports: Includes two USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI port, an Ethernet port, and an optical audio output.
- Cooling system: It has a larger fan for cooling compared to later models, but can be a bit noisier under heavy load.
- Design: Features a two-tone matte/glossy finish.
While it might not be as sleek as the PS4 Slim or the PS4 Pro, it still offers solid performance for gaming and multimedia tasks.
