Great addition to anyone's game collection and especially fans of the Uncharted series. While the console is certainly an eye catcher, it really does stand out amongst any other black electronics it may sit next to. This might be a put off for some people, but to each their own. The image is not a sticker or a decal and you definitely cannot feel it when you run your hand over it. Compared to the launch model PS4, this LE version is matte on the entire case. No glossy HDD cover here. Power and eject are physical buttons that you need to press, not touch sensitive like before. The part under the HDD cover has been rearranged slightly as well. Since I only changed out my console and not the cables, I noticed that the rear ports have been rearranged. The LAN, HDMI and AUX ports have moved but the AC IN and DIGITAL OUT ports are still in the same spot. I did immediately upgrade this unit with a larger hard drive and as always it was a quick and easy process. I used the HGST Travelstar 7K1000 1TB 7200 RPM model which is just fine for what I need. I also popped a 1TB into my launch model as soon as I opened the box that has been running great since launch, so you really owe it to yourself to upgrade if you are buying a 500GB model. Ideally, you would want to obtain the new hard drive before you use your console so you will start fresh and won't have to mess with any data back-up and transfer. The included controller perfectly matches the console. The bottom portion is black but the SHARE and OPTIONS wording along with the arrows around the D-pad are dark blue, just like Nate's image on the console. Everything else about it feels the same as any other Dualshock 4 , right down to the short battery life. There is no Uncharted branding at all on this controller, which I would have liked but it's nice anyway. In all, a great looking console with a few very minor changes. Recommended!
