Real pics of Xbox Series X (e-arena in Saturn, Germany)

Yeah, it's just a black box. I might be in the minority but I loved the way the OG 360 looked.
I'm with you on this one. Minimalist design all the way for me.
I think the actual vents are top and bottom
as illustrated here
Not sure I understand the GameCube comparison. It only resembles a GameCube if you took away all of the defining characteristics of it.
It looks more like a refrigerator. Like you should be able to open it up.

Everything is blocked on it, HDMI port, AC port, etc, and the vents. It's probably because it's just a shell, for display.

Looks incredible.
Much better than the over-designed and offensive to the eyes "I'M a GaMeR" garbage that is the PS5.

Awful. Fucking consoles and their "lol good luck putting this into an entertainment unit" design this go around. The one x is pretty much perfect sigh.
More like tribalism. It's a real deal in the console space. A lot of Xbox guys hate the PS5 design and Playstation guys hate Series X. If they had come out flipped, then the hate would be flipped as well. Consumers have allowed themselves to be programmed by corporations. Personally, I like both designs, go figure.
Or a PC tower sliced in half...
I'm not bored by rectangular designs, for me it missed the mark in the finish, at least going by these pics it just doesn't ooze of quality like some AV receivers can do for example. Maybe it needs a metal casing, idk
I'm neither here nor there with it. On one hand I feel it's uninspired on the other it can't be considered ugly. I dig the simplicity I guess.
Nope, and never dust my computer (guilty!) How and how frequently do you do that?
I love the look of this thing. I'm happy that my media center is one of those ladder-like/trellis-like centers, I have plenty of vertical room.
Except when it's turned off and dust just floats on down through the grill, right?
Its simple design makes a lot of sense from a technical standpoint and it will make it cheaper to manufacture too. Those are very important virtues for sure.
That said, it really is a boring and uninspired design. But it does make sense, so it's all right in my book.

On one hand it does look fine, but on the other it's just so damn boring looking. My only real problem with it is that they removed the HDMI passthrough, when I do get one in a couple of years to replace my X1X that means I will need one extra port for my Spectrum tv. Ah well.
It's just a nice little accent at the top that gives it some character. I much prefer that to having gimmicky lights on my console.
Oh damn . This is a bit unfortunate. I m sure many people will keep it vertical . Horizontal is just a no no for me for this design .

U rather have a cheap inexpensive colored plastic rather than rgb light? Lol OK u do u man but there is industry revolving around rgb and led for aesthetic reasons.
I don't care about visual design.. if this doesn't take off like my pro sometimes all good. Performance over looks always.
Yes, I'd rather have colored plastic than light on my console lol. Keeps the minimal/premium look of the console while giving it some character.
Who wants a light shining under their tv lol?
Not a dig at anyone who thinks otherwise, but while I think the design and work put into assembling it is top notch I can't say I'm visually impressed with a small black cube as a design. That said, as someone who's put together their fair share of mini-itx systems, what they've put in there is impressive. Want to play flight sim on this thing lol.
You can rest it on its "side" (the actual bottom). That's what the nubs are for, and the disc drive and HDMI inputs even seem to reinforce that.
It's like the designers didn't even try. It's ok they prioritize performance but I appreciate it more when you get both (performance and great design).It's certainly not ugly but I find it dreadfully boring. And I imagine that much like the original Wii, this is a console that will look best when standing up (which likely won't be happening in my setup due to its size).
The green light shining through the top -- the thing I loved the most about the design -- being cardboard and not an actual light, is super disappointing. Was looking forward to that as long as it was faint.
I much prefer the PS5 design for the same reason I loved the original 360 design. Unique and different.
Edit: Yeah, it looks horrible vertically.
Also, I hope the base is removable when you position the console horizontally, because I definitely don't have space for a tower in my entertainment center.
I feel like you probably can't really judge the design until you see it in person. Scale is important.
