Building a Portable PS4 Slim Demonstration Video by Austin Evans
We've covered the PlayBook 4 S & PlayBook 4 Pro PS4 Slim laptop mods, and now Austin Evans puts a new twist on PlayStation 4 video gaming on the go with his latest YouTube Channel video demonstrating the Portable PS4 Slim console! 
According to the video's caption notes, their PS4 Slim Portable is brought to life with help from a GAEMS Vanguard Personal Gaming Environment which will set ya back $288.99 and an Anker PowerHouse featuring a 400Wh / 120, 000mAh Portable Outlet, Generator Alternative Rechargeable Power Source with Silent DC/AC Power Inverter, 12V Car, AC & USB Outputs for a whopping $499.99.
It's safe to say this PS4 modification is not for lightweights in the funds department, as you'll need deep pockets when also factoring in the cost of a PS4 Slim itself among other miscellaneous expenses to make this Portable PS4 a reality.

To quote from helloiamsomeone on Reddit: CFW2OFW Helper Release
I created a very simple tool to save users the headaches that converting games for CFW2OFW data utility transfer exploit might cause.. well at least it did for me.
This is the very first thing I ever created with C#, so feedback is welcome. I'd like more people to test this, because I am not able to test the result of this program currently. If you have simple suggestions, then post them here, technical issues should go on GitHub and reports about a conversion being incompatible go in here if possible.

Sony Reports 60 Million PS4 Consoles Shipped Through March 31, 2017
According to their recent FY2016 Consolidated Financial Results covering the fiscal year ending on March 31st, 2017 Sony Corporation reports that 60 million PS4 consoles have shipped! 
The report also predicts that 78 million PlayStation 4 units will ship by March of 2018, while Macquarie Capital Securities analyst Damian Thong via The Wall Street Journal speculates a next-gen PlayStation system to launch in 2018.
Whether this may include updated PlayStation 4 hardware that surpasses the current PS4 Pro and PS4 Slim 1TB models or a jump to PlayStation 5 remains to be seen, but according to GameSpot.com the WSJ reporter is the same analyst who correctly predicted PS4 Pro and Slim ahead of their respective launches.
Thanks to DualShockers.com for the heads-up, and is anyone ready to become a PS5 early adopter by next year... or do you feel it's still too soon for Sony to launch a new console even with Microsoft's XBox Project Scorpio slated for a holiday 2017 release?
