This but with green highlights, the color green from the OG xbox logo. I'm probably alone in wanting that lol.

Maybe no-disc versions of consoles in a decade. It really all depends on how quickly the internet infrastructure get upgraded in the U.S. Other than cellular networks, it's happening at a snails pace.

I think they'll make it black. If only to contrast the S

342mm² comes from 18*19mm
But you're right chip works used 18.3*19mm =348mm²
The inner borders of the Sata port are 35mm
XBOX Scorpio seems to be ~17*21mm
Ps 4 Pro seems to be ~14*22mm or 14*23mm
So you're right. The Ps4 SOC looks as big as the Scorpio SOC, but the hight is a little bit less and that results in ~30mm² diesize or even up to ~40mm²
pretty interesting how 1mm in height changes the SOC size from "basically the same size" to 30mm² less area

Man I'm feeling confused about buying games right now. Will Xbox One games on Scorpio going forward will always be the best version over the Pro? What about older Xbox One games I wonder if they can be better versions if they were previously stuck at 900p?
There's a lot of good sales this weekend and even some deals for $10 bonus credit on pre-orders. I already got a Pro but am definitely getting a Scorpio too. I just don't know if I can commit to buying multi-platform games on it yet.

Mountain dew.
Black with customisation colours for backlight with a choice of white, blue, green and red.
default black but I think they'll do something with the design labs

As someone who still mains Battlefield 4, having the Scorpio upscale the 720P X1 version to something higher would be enticing. Don't think it's on the cards tho.
That would be awesome
The only way a Scorpio version wouldn't be better than a PS4 Pro version of a game is if the developer simply didn't try and locked them both in at the same settings for some bizarre reason, or if the game was simple enough to already be maxed out at native 4K on the Pro.
The question of older games being updated is anyone's guess. Developers have known about it for awhile now, so it's possible many games from the last year or so just need a quick run through the dev kit. The positive aspect is that it sounds like the porting process is incredibly easy and fast. If it's as they say then we could see a while lot of updates of older games. I'm personally anticipating most DX12 based games to get an update, and I'd be surprised if we don't see updates for all first party games from the end of 2015 forward. Hell, MS has a history of sending techs to other developers to help with porting, so I wouldn't be surprised if MS put together a team to go do the work for other developers if it really does only take a few days for a single developer to do a port.
I have a feeling we're going to hear more about this at E3 as MS and third party developers start to open up about their experience with dev kits and their plans for past and future games.
Design your own Scorpio would be damn amazing.

For some reason, I think it's going to be silver.
You're going to be able to pick from a multitude of colors because it will be covered in alcantara.
Alcantara controllers. Lol.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
The point of the Surface name is that the "surface" is the touch screen which is the focus of the product. Unless it's handheld with an embedded touchscreen I doubt it'll carry that brand.

More aggressive clocks do tend to reduce yields, but they claim that the hovis method that they are using solves the problem.
In short, they analyze the chip as soon as its produced and adjust voltage values to get the desired clock, instead of having a single voltage to all that would make some chips be discarded.

The fact that they were so reluctant into having a black S makes me think that they are saving that color for Scorpio.
However I think that there will be a white variant too. And likely other colors.

I was just going to post this. S design lab and Scorpio just one color black.
Yeah, he's been saying that for a while. I hope!
If they can hit 399 it'll be really hard to get it this Holiday. They will sell a ton of them.

I think scorpio is going to be white , they got the design lab for the controller but they should do it with console too
August/September before all the big 3rd party games appear.
Marvel
could never
That would be perfect.
Yeah, I can't see them missing the big games. It seems it's been finished for at least 2-3 months.
I see them doing what they did with the S. Release the more expensive ver first.

Prediction is still August 22nd for Scorpio. Looks the same as the Slim but in solid black with a green "X' logo on the top of it ala the original Xbox.
$400 for 1TB, $500 for 2TB and Shadow of War digital download pack in bundle. $500 AC Origins 2TB bundle in November.
A good price for the base with one bundle for the late summer/early fall and one holiday bundle with AC. Good use of the marketing deals and you don't have to wait unless you really want to. Wanting to wait is very different from having to wait.
Personally, if I have to wait FIVE months for Scorpio and a few games that I want to play are weeks/months earlier, im not simply not going to wait. I'll just play the multi-platform games on PS4 Pro. E3 will either build the hype and momentum for Scorpio going into it being released or it will do the opposite based on the price and release date.

It definitely doesn't solve the problem altogether or we'd see them running at higher clock speeds still, but it's clear they believe it will mitigate the problem sufficiently to hit their goals. We still don't know what those goals look like from a pricing perspective, only from a raw performance perspective.
The prospect of a diskless system is intriguing and would play into the hints that the form factor will be a surprise. I just don't see how it would work as a mid-generation release with an emphasis on compatibility with Xbox One and 360 software.
Sure it can. Surface Studio and Surface Book with Performance Base didn't wait for Creators Update. Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL didn't wait for the RTM version of Windows 10 mobile. Xbox One S didn't wait for the fall update.
Black, definitely
Time frames change all the time.

But too late for Christmas, though.
No? All the Xbox consoles have been November.
