I know it's the superior machine, but the One X looks like the cheaper revison of the One S. The One S has a Braun-esque look to it. The two-tone texture on the One S looks very smart (and I'm not even a fan of white hardware). The One X, on the other hand, looks like an unfinished block of plastic; it's got a lot in common with Sony's recent PS4 revisions: just bland, uninspired blocks of black plastic.

I won't even consider the thing until I see that fucker running and am able to judge the fan noise. The S was offensively loud.

RROD is never happening again. Look at the One and One S. The One X is just a fantastic piece of technology.
My S is almost completely silent. The only way I can hear any noise from it is when I put my ear a couple inches from it and even then it is barely audible.

Never say never, anything and everything can go wrong with any piece of electronic.
Hopefully not at that level. That was holy shit bad.

Mine gets pretty noisey in the Australian summer. I should have kept my original VCR X1 - cool and quiet as a cucumber.

Where is the fps counter and title led.

This. Just remember the Samsung Galaxy Note 7.
Yeah, what kind of monsters would do such thing?
This has to be quoted more.
Nice one, EvB.

It's the best part of half year away - plenty of time.

It looks like someone sand-blasted a PS2.
Was about to type this lol
I'm a sucker for new stuff so I'll probably grab one whenever I get a 4k TV set. Will probably end up fulfilling Microsoft's original vision in my entertainment center as the "one" device I use. I can even make use of the HDMI pass through. It won't get used as often for gaming since I have a Switch and a PC, but the fact that I can buy a single digital copy of something and get two copies is still enough to keep me in the ecosystem for first party games

This is the critical part for me, needs to be silent like the original Xbone.
Can't say I've seen anyone argue the XB1X isn't more powerful. Thought it was more about the degree.

Makes it impressive they kept the box a secret and already got it in stores so soon.

You want them to add a controller that sells on it's own for $149.99 and still be $499.99? You be crazy. If they had that much headroom, they could of just put it out for $399.99 and called it a day.
Look very nice and understated. Will go and have a look tomorrow as I have a MS store 5 mins walk away.
I wonder when they'll have 4K videos of the games running on a screen in store.
This is my only fear. The XB1 is an amazing console simply because no matter the game I'm playing or movie I'm watching it's silent.

To be fair, they did it selectively (and pretty quietly) with the pro. The whole marketing message for the X1X is "the most powerful console." This wasn't modesty on Sony's behalf - I think they wanted to keep the focus on the base PS4 for 2016/17. I'd expect to see marketing ramp up in general come the end of the year.

Really? My S and my Wife's S are whisper quiet. Even have a few friends that have a S and they are whisper quiet. I know there were some initial reports at launch of the fan rubbing/hitting part of the case that would make it louder,
If you ask like that, Spencer's face in silver etching would be dope.

I'm curious, has anyone seen the retail box in person yet?
I figure that they use the same physical box as the One S for cost saving, obviously just different styrofoam inside and graphics outside

There are some in the thread that popped up during the conference. It's crazy small.

There are some official pics, but here's another:

ah, thanks
I was looking for comparison shots on google earlier and couldn't find anything but that back shot of the ports
Yeah, a long way from that ugly green original. Just a green strip instead.

Yeah, technically it seems impressive by making it so small but it doesn't do anything for me looks wise. I prefer the VCR Xbone design if I'm being honest

Yeah, I just saw one in Portland Oregon.

You're forgetting that the base PS4 (in the first pic) was objectively the most powerful console for three years.
MightyHedgehog
Member
No, I didn't, as any reader of gaming forums or comment sections can probably attest. It's impossible to not run into someone reminding us all that PS4 is the most powerful base console on the market. My post had nothing to do with this, though.

It seems to be the same shape, that would be so smart
I appreciate that sorta detail, I love the whole MS hardware design process, the S was such a breath of fresh air.
The packaging on a Surface gets me hyped, its so classy, the S was a clear derivative of that. Dat Panos influence.

Your post quoted a pic of the PS4 and the PS4 Pro. Didn't known that you were limiting your comment to the Pro.
