Ready to buy the most powerful console on the solar system, as of known.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

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

Ha ha, I just realized.

 

[SenkiDala]

On this pic:

It really looks like Kinect 2:

I even thought at first "what? Why do they put a Kinect 2 under the TV?" and then "ah ok". They should fit well together, even if I don't see a point to get a Kinect 2 right now. :/

 

[arhra]

We still don't have any comparison pics with the Xbox One or Xbox One S?

Cnet got some: https://www.cnet.com/pictures/xbox-one-x-vs-xbox-one-s-sizes-compared/

The overall footprint is actually slightly larger than the S (5mm wider, 10mm deeper), but the reduction in height (5mm) results in the lower overall size.

 

[finalflame]

Are these really smaller than the One S?

 

[hanspampel]

Are these really smaller than the One S?

A little less volume, yes

 

[RowdyReverb]

I wonder what the X would look like in other colors

 

[Ceallach]

So boring. I miss consoles that had personality.

I was kind of hoping for a Kinect 3.0, at least for cool PC uses.

 

[TimeEffect]

Very sexy.

 

[low-G]

They're really going balls deep with this "world's most powerful console" label. Doesn't every console generation have a "world's most powerful console?"

It's like being the world's oldest person. It may be true, but you sure don't hold onto that title for very long.

I appreciate that they're not saying "the world's most powerful gaming platform"

 

[gamz]

Looks really small here.

Wow I just noticed there is no fan on the top. Very nice...

 

[Wanderer5]

Yeah I saw it yesterday when I was passing by a windows store, and it looks pretty nice. Definitely is small.

 

[ScaryShark]

Really like how that thing looks. Much more sleek than the Pro, which is a design that does nothing for me.

 

[DoomGyver]

Needs a large green X on the top.

 

[Omni]

Looks a bit plain to me. S is better looking

But not a huge deal. Impressive, all things considered

 

[captainraincoat]

Very impressed (makes the Pro look like a giant plastic monstrosity). Hope it's quiet.

This is the thing that has me a little worried
the ps4 pro and ps4 standard have similar intake and exit points for airflow and sound like jets taking off after a while

The Xbone and XboneS have a massive fan and intake in the top of the console to allow maximum intake of cool air with minimal noise and my launch bone is still silent....i just hope the fan and cooling solution for the xboneX is not some half assed tiny fan and small intake holes

 

[nillapuddin]

trust in Panos

couldn't agree more. matte black plastic just doesn't do it for me

 

[gamz]

Unless you want fingerprints all over it has to be matte. What isn't matte these days?

my OG xbox one/ps4

I don't touch my xbox, so fingerprints aren't an issue (dust is though). It's not matte I mind, it's matte black. I think Xbox One S looks great. X looks like a prototype

Gotcha. I remember when the S came out everyone wanted it in Black. Now it's the opposite. LOL

 

[sangreal]

I think a matte aluminum or other light metal case would have been awesome too since they're going for that premium feel

 

[Guess Who]

The top is a bit plain - just a flat black surface. Would've been nice to see something a bit more interesting there. Still, the size and understated look of the thing really underlines how fucking large and ugly the PS4 Pro is by comparison.

 

[LukasTaves]

The console is beatiful, but I think the S looks better and despite their intentions more premium XD

I dunno, seeing them both together like this:

The Slim is way more imposing.

They really didn't half assed the cooling, it's one of the things that makes the console so small, and priced at 499.

Basically the heatsink is hollow and there's liquid inside, which transmites heat faster than cooper and increases the efficiency of the heatsink/cooler combo, thus requiring less fan speed and less noise.

I don't think it will be as quiet as the Xbone/S because Ms is not using the term whisper quiet anymore, but they will probably avoid sounding like a jet engine.

 

[katsais]

Sure. Nice.

But when we fucking place our pre-orders MS?

 

[ZeroPain]

I was blown away by its size at E3. It's crazy what the design team were able to accomplish

 

[Mixolydian]

Here you go

I would honestly love that.

 

[watershed]

The X1X design reminds me of the PS2 a bit.

 

[RdN]

This console looks so fucking sexy!

I just hope it's silent.. I love that on the original Xbox One.

 

[HiiiLife]

Want.

 

[cucuchu]

There are a couple of MS stores near me here in the Baltimore/DC area but I kind of want to wait until I am unboxing it myself Nov. 7th to see it.

 

[Triteon]

I hope there are some cool LTD edition versions not just LTD S versions going forward, because i'm not really feeling the black.

It bothered me when I bought my Pro last year all the LTD editions out around the same time (like FF) were regular PS4's.

 

[FingerBang]

You have to give it to Microsoft, they meant it when they said this console was going to be a premium product. Honestly 499 makes sense when you think about the size and all. The PS4 Pro is huge compared to it. I wonder if Sony is going to release a slim version...

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

I think the S looks better, and not just because of the colour. But it is very impressive they got it to be even smaller, no doubt.

 

[BriGuy]

This has to be quoted more.

Nice one, EvB.

Not to ruin your fun, but I roll my eyes at Sony for engaging in it too. Those ads in particular remind me of ads for a laundry detergent espousing brighter whites and longer lasting colors.

Stop thinking so binary; a perceived slight against X doesn't automatically mean I must be in the tank for Y.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

The S looks better, but only because it's in white.

I'm surprised they didn't give the One X a unique colour as standard.

 

[-hadouken]

The Slim is way more imposing.

For me the S has personality - X is a little bit anonymous looking. Still, a lovely piece of kit.

 

[Hidden One]

That's one boring console design.

 

[JoeLT]

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

My OG XB1 used to be silent, looks like it's taken too many of those Australian summers now though because it's really loud.

 

[Hexer06]

Man... at first I was thinking all you people are crazy for thinking the S looks better. Until I saw that side by side pic from LukasTaves. Idk why, but I think you all just changed my mind and I'm in agreeance that the S does look slightly more "premium" for some reason. They should have kept the LED screen from the dev kits on the X.

Edit: Okay, I can't make up my mind now, lol. Maybe it's just the white color of the S with that sexy black disc slot. Idc either way, can't wait to pre-order this "monster!"

 

[dreamfall]

I really wish there were color options! Would kill for the beautiful box in a bright orange color! Would be really cool if down the line we could customize the console like the do with official controllers.

 

[nillapuddin]

What if "the cool thing about preorders" is the design lab?

That could be a reason for not having them up right away, might be too complex of an announcement to drop all that at once

 

[PerZona]

It really does looks like a PS2.

 

[wachie]

It doesn't look bad by any means but I prefer the S. If I didn't know better I'd assume the S was the premium system. The two-tone look and the grill on the top are really unique, the X looks like the idea was to make it look more bland.

Definitely prefer the Andrew Kim-designed S over the X, but they did what they could to keep it in line with the visual language already established by the former.

So, still sexy. ����

I like the looks of the S better, but that might be because of the white/black contrast.

Looks ok, I prefer the S look.

The S looks lively, this is a black box

As a big fan of the Xbox One and Xbox One S designs I'm not feeling the design here. Too bland. I much prefer the One S design.

The worlds most boring looking Playstation 2. The S looks leagues ahead.

S still looks better.
Love my white model.

Looks a bit plain to me. S is better looking

Holy shit, I think while the design is decent, it's still a step backwards from the S and so many people agree.

 

[bedlamite]

this is how

Somebody should go post that in the "build a PC that matches an XBX" thread

The X's aesthetics may not be to everyone's taste, but the internals are just remarkable. Miraculous engineering by MS.

 

[LukasTaves]

Wait I just noticed there's two sync buttons on Xbonex?

What for?
