The rear USB ports would bug me a lot more. I'd rather have front USB ports.

At least with the brick if it breaks you can just replace it, rather than having to send the whole system to microsoft for who knows how much money.
Nope. It's the same as the 360 Slim port. It's far too big to be the figure 8 one. And figure 8 ones have prongs that stick out, not holes.
People say that a lot, but since when have video game console internal power supplies been blowing out on people left and right?
What's the big deal with a power brick anyway? In my setup they're hidden behind TV and I don't really even care it's there. I actually prefer external over internal one.
I thought there was some confusion with that? We know for sure it's 40nm?I think the reason the brick is external is because the APU is a 40nm process chip instead of 28nm. More heat is generated and more power is required. I'll bet a 28nm design comes later as well as a shrinked down console. The PS4 is using 28nm right now. So far the word is that the ESRAM is the culprit as far as why they went with 40nm.
no big deal. people just looking for more reasons to complain. mines hidden on the floor behind the tv

It's a pretty big deal when some people have limited room in their entertainment centers. Sony got the PS3 completely right. It never had a power brick and the consumer never had to worry about a cumbersome block being in the way. People keep on saying things like, "Well, the brick prevents overheating," The PS3 never had issues with overheating and the power brick for the 360 certainly did not prevent overheating. Size can be an issue, but the PS3 was never that much larger than any iteration of the 360. This is simply a case of a software company not knowing how to design hardware.
Yeah because the Xbox 360 never broke even with a external power supply right?
How about a well designed piece of hardware that doesn't fail? Is that to much to ask for?
