Where does the console get cool air from?
i.e Which side are the intakes, cant really see from the Fan shroud where cool air comes from.

Who thinks these will be available day 1 without preorder?
The Scorpio Edition? Unlikely. The normal one? Very.

Why not the scorp edition?
I would hope, for optics sake, that they learned from their Day One mistake and they will only make enough Scorpio Editions to fill pre-orders.

Didnt all the pre-orders sell out within hours or something?

I would imagine you won't have too much trouble finding a non Scorpio edition on launch day.

About to watch it but did they go back to a power brick? Dont see how they couldnt with that size
That was only for a limited time pre-order, it's not a standard retail item.

Beautiful looking machine. They've really made a lot of progress with hardware recently.
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. But, then again, I thought the original Xbone looked great.

i hate that the chip is called the "scorpio engine" because it just adds to the confusion related to the term "engine" wrt games
Why would someone be confused on something they never see?

Same. I've always been a huge fan of the OG XB1.
Didn't the designer of the S and Scorpio leave for Tesla?

It's really not crazy. This time they elected to create console properly.

how much cost will vapor chamber add to the console? first time hearing and watching about it with the bonex reveal and the techquickie explanation
hell, why dont high end laptops use it?
wanted to add as well, they did a fine job at MS. super easy to assemble and disassemble.

cuz it's expensive and requires more R&D to design it than a traditional cooling apparatus
presumably it's used here so that they don't have to burn much space on a large fan.

Holding out for a 2TB version before I upgrade from my 2TB XB1S, but that is one sexy console.

not an idiot
no worries mate, they got a great deal at the smoke shop.
plus it was tax free!
uhhhhhmmmm... there's a large fan, sir.
Save the money and buy an external.
True story, I'd like to see if the external is still faster than the internal drive.

I'm doing the exact same thing; I'm hungry for the X but I just can't part with $500 for a 1 tb model in good conscience. As soon as they announce a 2 tb or even just increase the size of the flash partition I'm all up in there.

Well, if they don't, I'd be happy with a credit of some kind.
Amazon re-opened up Xbox One Day One preorders the day or two before release date, and oversold by quite a bit. They weren't able to fulfill some, including mine, but gave $50 in credit. Not horrible.
No joke, this console is really beautiful. You need to see it in person!
The Microsoft Store had one on display playing Forza 7 at University Village in Seattle.

You can always get 2TB external hard drive for the One X off Amazon for only like $60, basically for the same price of a game. Yea that's extra cash to spend but thats also a hell of alot of extra space for the money, and it's always good to just have one laying around (especially if your a big gamer) no matter what console you own.
