Microsoft Boxes Its New Xbox...

Oh dear, more touch buttons. Having used them on the 360, just eww. Not very pleasant to use (especially when the disc drive dies and you have to open/close it 1000 times, hearing an awful beep each time) and even worse to clean. It's a massive ugly console with a massive ugly power brick, so why'd they bother putting on a Kensington lock? Nobody's going to want to steal that. The only thing I like about this is the slot-loading Blu-Ray drive, which the launch day PS3 had quite a few years ago. :lol:

ASSume the 'exclusive digital content' mentioned in the vid will be a theme/avatar item.

Don't most power hungry devices have some kind of power brick? Only desktops have them internal… not sure why thats a big deal.

Ugly is not quite right though… this thing is horrendous

The console is already quite large, surely no-one would care if it was a tiny bit larger to accommodate an internal power unit (like your PC has, and probably also the PS3).

I bet no one would be strong enough to pick it up though.

The damn things already going to dwarf my TV as it is… need to convince my wifenancial advisor that 32" is not big enough. ;)

If you pause right at the end, it says "System software uses a significant amount of storage" so maybe you've only got closer to 400GB or 420GB to play with there.

ha, no doubt… just like all windows based software.

Apple should make a less powerful console that is simple and works great, but charge more for it.

They do. It's called the iPhone. *ba dum tish* :p

the power brick, console and the Kinect sensor are all MASSIVE! it wouldn't surprise me if its wider than my pc monitor lol

Lol Ryz, you're such an iPhobe

thats because apple devices are overpriced peices of poop and are nothing more than fashion items

Congratulations on that well formed and reasoned opinion. :rolleyes:

I would know, i own 2 apple devices and they are both terrible

Ok guys back on topic. I only mentioned the iPhone because it actually met each of TimBud's criteria for an Apple console (popular gaming device, works great, is less powerful than a console, is more expensive than a console).
