I LOLed. Great

Have they explained why they have a less powerful console, but it's bigger than their competitor AND they still need a power brick? I still can't believe as big as this thing is, that u still need a power brick.

For a quieter and possibly more reliable console. I have a feeling we'll be hearing about more hardware issues from ps4 than x1.

 

[Whipped Spartan]

No, sorry. No megatons. I got to co-host, so it's just me blabbering with E and Major for an hour.

I like your tag on Gaf is just Microsoft LOL. I will listen to tomorrow. I love the Major's podcasts.

 

[ToyBroker]

Wow console wars at it's finest here.



lol this is awesome.



Yeah i'll never understand it either. In the many years I've had multiple consoles attached to my TV, including both the PS3 and 360, not once did I put any thought into the external brick.

Oh please, it was a joke because he said people were grasping at straws.

What's the issue with a powerbrick? I don't get how it hinders anything...

An external psu just reduces the amount of heat in the console.. A very good thing IMO

 

[Mobius1]

Hardware looks good, but I felt like I was watching Home Shopping Network with that video.

How did the power brick help the 360s failure rate? Wasn't the ps3 reliable without a power brick?

Did you spend all day scouring the Internet looking for old listings of standard hdmi cables? Because you wasted your time. That first link is for a highspeed cable. The second is for a 6 meter cable. Granted, they offer other lengths but it is still a discontinued Monster cable from 2007. Hell, I would not be surprised if you tried to buy one and they sent you a newer, highspeed version. I never said you could not find a standard hdmi cable if you really were determined to, but you sure have to go out of your way to avoid all the cheaper, readily available highspeed ones.

External power brick rather than an internal one so less heat within the console. The Xbox one has a larger case so that it has better air flow and ventilation. Also the console is silent according to the IGN hands on preview.

As for the PS4: internal power supply, smaller case design and questionable loudness of the unit.

Ignoring the other side of the argument is pretty poor!

The current ones are not loud to begin with.

 

[Dai101]

The problem with both since the ps3 still suffers from the yellow light of death is the same, lead-free solder. And not just consoles, a large number of laptops suffer from the same problem. Nothing to do with the powerbrick but it really helps to not having more components inside the console that will generate more heat.

P.D: Bless lead-free solder!! I've a lot of job thanks to you, half-assed solution to lead-tin solder.

I think Microsoft purposefully made the XB1 big so that when they do the eventual redesign the size difference will be that much more dramatic.

Or maybe it's big because of the tv shit in there. Circuit wafers and stuff. And a big ass fan.

 

[op_ivy]

that gif is fucking awesome

Alot of empty space in there.

 

[Sub_Level]

Alot of empty space in there.

So what you want Microsoft to do this?

 

[Bsigg12]

Alot of empty space in there.

If there are no hardware failures due to shitty heat management than so be it. I'll take a power brick and fan the size of my face that runs silent any day.

Same. My 360 sounds like a jet.

Actually, you said it was basically impossible, and no, I found those in a 30 second search. Oh look, here is my local computer store that I buy all my parts from:

Plenty in stock too. Keep trying though.

A lot of empty space and external PSU didn’t help 360 with RROD.

Phuck dude, you need to get laid.

 

[Ratba]

I live in Japan so this is still a no unless they announce they are supporting us over here.

 

[idrinkalone]

you know the console is good when people go out of their way to make videos to mock it.

This is some sound logic...

 

[Prologue]

I thought the Kinnect was the power brick for a second, its pretty big. Hopefully the improvements are worth while.

You do know there is no tv shit what so ever in there right?. Its pretty obvious that they shit the bed about the whole rrod and took every single step to make sure they didnt cost themselves billions again by making the launch machine bigger and giving themselves room to manage heat.

okay? is there something wrong with that?

 

[madmackem]

okay? is there something wrong with that?

No none at all, id rather they did it as i dont want the whole ordeal i had with many 360s again. I think its pretty obvious why the box is so big, id have demanded the same steps be taken too if i was in a top seat at Ms.

I lost it at "NSA are watching"...haha...LOL!

I love circles.

 

[Salsa]

this is real nice

heres hoping I can do this with the inevitable windows version of the controller

 

[ChiliManiac]

I think it's about time I do that too...gona wait till gamescom though. However...Xbox One comes with a free sticker. I am currently sold.

 

[RiccochetJ]

Jesus Christ, quote that shit.

Fuck you people are insane. This many pages about a fucking headset.

You just linked to another high speed cable. So, so far you've found an extreme length from an online specialty retailer, a discontinued product and two high speed HDMI cables. I'd say the evidence supports my assessment. Standard HDMI cables have been a deprecated technology for a while. Your average store does not bother to stock them. You have to go out of your way to find one if for some weird reason you want one. I know you really want to catch me in some stupid "gotcha", but I'm not wrong and you just look foolish.

All the flowery praise in the world couldn't properly convey how fantastic this is. Outstanding job.

 

[yankeehater]

I really want to get both at launch but money is going to be super tight for me this year so I think I will also have to cancel my PS4. Hopefully by the time more stuff comes out I will be able to grab one.

Good luck to you to.

I don't know how someone could type that out and still think it made sense.

So an unboxing video won you over?

nah... the fantasy football integration won me over.

 

[yankeehater]

I tried to push Bishman to make the league on NFL.com so we could use all the fantasy football stuff.

I think we should do 10 or 12 people.. Draft is next week.. heres a good tip.. DRAFT a QB first round!

We've known about Fantasy Football since before PS4 preorders went up.

Huh?

"iCAN HDMI 1080P 1.3 version Golden Plated - 3 ft. (HH-30-03)"

That doesn't support 3D or 4k.

You claimed the other cable was high speed too without apparently reading the description.

http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Supports-WITHOUT-booster-resolutions/dp/B001FVIU2S?tag=viglink129408-20

"Advanced 3ft 1.3a HDMI Cable, Supports up to 1080p or 1600p (WITHOUT the need of a booster), Supports 2560 x 1600 resolutions."

This is 4k?

I'm not the one looking foolish here.

 

[kvn]

Who fucking cares?? And qoute that pic you idiot.

 

[Metfanant]

nah... the fantasy football integration won me over.

you could probably just fire up the PS4 (Free) web browser and use that to play fantasy football as well...save yourself $100 up front, and $10 per year...and get the more powerful gaming console...

...just saying...

 

[idrinkalone]

nevermind. I just want to goto bed.
