Not sure if already posted but thoughts? I hate the fact they removed 2 HDMIs - I use that the MOST.
We getting more USB Ports though. I guess that is OK
Damn, I really liked that feature. I have so many consoles hooked up I usually have one going through the Xbox in any given TV setup (I have several...)

Probably belongs to The Drunk Cat, because his hairs are all over it.
Normally I'd agree because you'll be showing something or at least letting them know a new console is coming, and a ballpark idea of amount of games. But in 2013 there was no formal announcement of PS4. This time they've announced the real name, logo and some info on specs. So they *could* wait until after Destination Playstation. But I don't think they will.
MS waited until after GDC in 2013 - did that cause them any issues with leaks?
I didn't realise the X got rid of the the lag. That's pretty cool.
Same - I used that feature the MOST - Always have connected either a cable box, DVD player and even a PS4 to it.
They might not have, I usually have either a Wii U or a PC hooked up for media stuff, and I don't use either much in that way.
I'll have to test this out.
Yep. But the hate is more toward people who still saying it will be fine.
Let's wait and see the actual game.
Please stop... Don't make this thread like a Nintendo Direct one.
Well, wasn't HDMI in out a big thing for MS a few years ago?
Sony also wanted to do a whole thing with PS3 where you could have two player games literally play on two seperate t.v's while using one console
Plus 3 more models BC with Ps1, ps2 and ps3 are coming early next year lol. There's no way Sony will charge extra money for BC.
Ah right. Bit of a niche case though.
One is good enough for moi!
I wouldn't even care. The only thing I'd care about would be getting my PC upgraded to play that game on max settings.
This was from the Xbox One and One X. Allowed HDMI in (from the cable box or w/e) so that you could have the One be the smart game/tv interface.
Welp, seeing that person isn't reliable, disregard what I said.
I was also referring to gl0w commenting on gifs. Again, subtle, probably nothing.
As for the Feb. vs. March reveal, March might just be another event. They do have to make up for skipping E3.
All I know is they kicked my ass, lol.

The confusion about USB ports vs capabilities and standards is going to be a pain point for this gen's launch. The USB-C connector doesn't equal what you're describing, which is the Thunderbolt chipset giving you 40gbs speeds. That increases the cost of a MacBook by hundreds of dollars, not so much in hardware costs, but in Licensing. No way a mass market console can afford that, unless MS makes a huge deal. Otherwise the USB-A host port can have fast data and 10W of power for fast charging, with the endpoint being any connector shape you want.
I suppose they could just use C ports instead to "Appear faster", like 90 percent of products that use it (Not kidding, some devices ports still run USB 2.x despite being a USB-C ports). Then of course the story then would be "Microsoft forces you to use adaptors for all your stuff."
Based on what? That'd be a pretty silly design as it's back to front and working against the laws of heat!
This is about real cheesecakes ! But I see, no history from the old OTs, how should you know!
Edit: You may want to adjust your troll detector :)
cc FF Seraphim -> you can see the cake with the 3rd tweet pictured.

I thought X had 3 USB?
Also, where are the feet for the bottom and what's that curved bit!?
How cool would it be if the PS Meeting were a private event for journalists only (behind closed doors), and they wrote up impressions afterwards?
based on this:
The old Mac pro Cylinder, brings fresh air in through the top, and pushes it through the bottom. it looks like Xbox series x is pushing it out the back. We know that the top is where it's pulling air in from. it would make no sense to have vents for intake on the back.
Unless it creates a strong enough air vacuum that can pull air through the back vents that go through all the components. But it would have to be spinning very hard. And they confirmed the top is intake.
It would make no sense to have the vents on the back be intake, you bring air in to what? Have it stay and get warm, where is it going to go? There are no vents on the front.
I assume it is exhaust. The CYCLONE type fan similar to the MAC pro brings in a lot of air and since it's high pressure fan more than likely it can push it down which cools the components and then is from the force exhausted out of the back.
Hey everyone, been lurking forever now...
Wondering what your thoughts are on the vents looking like theyre half blocked?
Its the same on the other side too.
Would this not be very efficient?
It is very efficient. This can be seen in blade server's where the fans in there are super high static funneled fans that shoot air in a direct path that comes out specified vents.
IF you don't have compartments that help block off air, you get re-circulated warm air that screws up the air pressue, that then get's recycled into components that have their own fan IE CPU fan, gpu fan, HDD fan ect.
I take it you've never seen the MAC PRO cylinder? WHich uses a similar design in cooling.

Same. But theres lots of people here that had their cable box/ set top box through one of the HDMI ports on the Xbox One/One X that are disappointed.

Probably no option...either way air will find it's way in vs no holes at all.
Can you send me a piece? (Shouldn't be too far from Hamburg to Thuringia :P )
Thanks for the link, where did MS confirm top was intake?
Air would get sucked in due to the negative air pressure caused by the fan pushing hot air out of the top...it would get sucked through the case from bottom and pushed out the top...in my head anyway lol
No I agree... Xbox One X have 3 as well. 1 in the front and 2 in the back and Xbox Series X has got the same but - I am glad they didn't reduce the USB ports as well like the HDMI.

They talked about it in a tweet after reveal. And I believe digital Foundry also talked about it. If you look at the fan design of the Mac pro cylinder you will see how it generates pressure to push air down over the components. Which seems similar to how this fan design works for xbox sereis x, only the fan looks even bigger, so it can push even more air on a wider area. Would not be surprised if one of those back vents was for power supply exhaust. Which would have a intake vent getting fresh air from inside the case which is getting air from top fan pushing air down, then the other components that have a vent to suck air in, push it out with their internal fan ie psu fan.
Makes sense.
Where did you hear this? Did I miss something?
I mean, this is why USB 4 is coming to fruition, and should be popping up in PCs by Spring. That'll have much cheaper licensing.
You have a link? I could of sworn it was confirmed to be intake.
So wouldn't it make more sense to put a small fan or two on the back side as well?
Even if it is to blow air out or suck it in...
To the extent that I at least consider them to be credible, sure. Any individual info they share should still be taken with a grain of salt.
EDIT: just realized what thread this was. I verified them having knowledge having to do with comics and comic-related stuff, not video games.
Ew I hate it! Ugly as sin, boring colour, looks like it'd be rough under bare feet. Yup, that carpet sucks, Xbox looks alright though.

Sorry, but you can't just say it's a fact without something to back it up!?
The link you provided says nothing about even the Mac cooling from the top, and this review of the Mac says it taks cool air from the bottom;
I think depending on where the PSU is, and what kind of form factor, may be the component that is pushing the warm air out those vents in the back?
I'm not sure actually.
