First pics of a real Xbox Series X?
- Thread starter Theorry

My USB 3.0 external drive has usb-a to usb-c cable so there's zero reasons to have usb-c ports on the xbox itself. Typically, hdd have it like that. You would have to buy a separate usb-c/usb-c cables for a number of devices and MS isn't that stupid to force their customers to do so
This is likely the same prototype photo that article was based on. Obviously got circulated a little too much in the end.
Yea this console is definately designed to be stood upright. From the logo to the buldge if u put it on the side it would look out of place
Yeah that's true, my portable HDD came with both A-C and C-C.
Nothing new here actually. and sadly the full reveal should be in a couple weeks or months :( ..... but it does looks great. where can i order this thing MS?
No doubt. I had a scorpio take home test unit back in the day, and the rules are strict.
Can you talk about what they were now or are you still under NDA?
All I was told was MS plans to launch first with the most power and both consoles wont be cheap. I think its deffo safe to assume these boxes are going to be 500-600 dollars.
I could honestly see series x being 550 to 600 dollars and ms have already planned sales to be soft with a huge push for play where you want. As long as the games are selling/gamepass sign ups. We are in a different world.
What shocked me is you wouldn't believe how far in the toilet console sales were in the uk market last year. Switch is an outlier but console sales were 40-50 percent down peak yoy.
The graph that tracked sales from last gen to this gen was heartbreaking to see. I didnt realise the console market had shrunk that much in the uk.
This was from a senior position in uk retail...before someone says I got it from an employee in game ;)
Gotta say that looks pretty cheap if real. Not BAD per se, but not like the high-end luxury console it supposedly is.
Arent retail sales down completely in the uk not just consoles? even xmas didnt pick it up and if it continues i can't see new expensive consoles doing as well as they should.
Why are people wanting C to C?
1) That would break existing wired controller compatibility
2) A to C can utilize the bandwidth just fine
3) most devices outside of controllers also connect via type A ports
is not having to worry about which way the connector goes in that important ?

Well, Phil Spencer tweeted that he was playing the Series X at home.
Ergo, Phil needs new carpet!

Is it just me or is does the back panel look consumer removable? Is it perhaps a modular console? Will we simply be able to slot in an upgrade instead of buying a whole new Pro box in a few years?
The serial number worked in the MS Site.
Not clever posted that with the serial number so visible...
Looks like a compact PC tower from those angles. Would like it as a PC tower actually. Not a great look otherwise.

LOL!
This was my exact same response.
I'm very excited for the Series X, but it really looks almost like a compact PC tower. I wish manufacturers would offer colors other than black at launch. I looked at my consoles hooked to the TV and count 5 black ones lol.
edit: and for the love of god why do people put consoles on CARPET?!??! These expensive ass consoles are sitting on wood with a ton of room to breathe. I'm still traumatized by the PS3 and 360 overheating deaths I had, and they were properly vented!!!

So a couple of interesting things.
The unlabelled slot is there. Is this gonna be for M2 memory?
Also, to my eyes it looks as if the entire back panel is removable (or maybe the front is)
Is the padlock part of that to remove it, or is that for a Kensington security lock?
edit : it's the Kensington lock logo.

Still under nda as far as I know but there's nothing interesting to report other than it was great having a scorpio when everyone else was still waiting for it to launch 😁.
I had no idea those were so small until now. I guess it could be that.
How fast is a m2 drive? Does it line up with the rumoured specs?
Lol at all the people saying this is a controlled leak. They're a myth.
This isn't how Microsoft wants to show off a live version of their new hardware for the first time publicly. Don't be silly.

I dont know exact figures but current ssd's transfer data in the hundreds. M.2 nvme is in the thousands. A windows pc can boot in like 10-15 seconds with one of them.
Okay but wouldn't that put XSX well behind PS5 if that's what MS is using? Sony claimed their drive was faster than anything on the market.
On the other hand, being able to easily add more disc space would be nice.
It's the new standard.
It always fits.
It's much faster with data transfer.
It charges faster.
It's 2020.
If PS5 price point is gonna be revealed by Feb 5th, I think someone's gonna spill the beans for XSX also.
Type C is the type of connector, it´s not faster because of that. You can have the same speeds on Type A.
FYI USB-C is just a standard for a connector and it doesn't specify an underlying protocol. USB-C can carry USB2, USB3, TB3 or USB4 (in the future). So having USB-C doesn't necessarily mean that it will charge something faster or transfer more data.
Sony would say that. M.2 they are using might be slightly customised. If true, i imagine microsoft will follow suit. Both consoles will have that type of memory next gen. its widely available in pc market. Its nothing new.
It's not a standard anywhere. Every single phone charger has an A port to that your cable goes in to, every single USB B and USB C cable people have at home from phones, Switch, charging stations, Kindles, PS4 controller, any technical toy stuff like cabinet lights or display lights or simply USB Sticks in any kind of form and use have an A port on one end so you can use it on any single charger, PC, laptop, TV's, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, or Switch.
Why the hell should it be a C on both ends? There's literally nothing you can connect it to cause nothing really uses that.

Pretty unflattering images tbh. Looks like a low end plasticky ITX/ATX PC tower.
All of that exists now and the PS4/Pro still sells far better than the One/X. I'd imagine the PS5 goes on to sell better for the same reasons, the games. Though I'd expect both systems to sell pretty much equally well or sell out over the launch period.

Let me rephrase: it's on it's way in becoming the standard. It's just part of moving forward.
DS5 will most likely have USB-C.
