Is the box way smaller than expected? Not sure if you can say. They look tiny especially in that first link there.

Yeah, it's way smaller. Maybe it's a side effect of seeing the PS5 box lol.
I understand why the Series X is the focus, but the Series S will be the console that will make the majority of Xbox marketshare next gen. I wish they'd give it just a bit more attention ._.
Yeah, there's an NDA in place. You'll have to wait until embargo lifts to find out my impression, though I'm pretty sure some journalists have said it is smaller than they thought. Could be wrong though, just remember hearing that some place.
Assume their preview Xbox X/S will be their gateway to early access games purely for previews and demos? I get the idea MS are switching things on behind a preview service that allows them to get feedback asap from their pool of media/streamer groups. Pretty much their staging service.
I think some people are going to be surprised at the size of the Series X. It's design made it look like an enormous PC tower but it's odd shape is actually smaller in one dimension than typical consoles. Remember it's 5.94 inches x 5.94 inches x 11.84 inches. It's more the size of a very compact HTPC than some gaming tower.

Unboxing video, yeah.........
I forgot where, but I read preview units needs to be returned.
Microsoft representatives in your country? In my case, they were really nice.
i think digitalfoundry said in its first series X video that the units they received, they will need to return because they are prototypes and not the "final consumer ready" unit.
maybe those that will do the unboxing can keep its units because it will be the same as "consumer ready" unit
We don't have any here, just one epic Pr firm that doesn't seem to get our requests.
Yes that's my guess too.
And if I remember correctly, we never saw the box of Series X for those previews. Every photos was with the actual console.
Yes, the batch that is being sent out these days is final retail units, in regular consumer packaging.
Nope, but we're getting them starting tomorrow with the PS5 unboxings. I dont know what people can get from watching more than one of them, though. If Sony and MS simply filmed someone from the company unboxing it and showing off all the included materials, you'd think that would be sufficient.
Ok yeah that makes sense then, thanks both!
We've already had press and influencers with the Series X. What's going to be new here? The inside of the packaging?
Cardboard hype!
Cardboard hype!
Any links for this please. Latam breaking embargo lol, how on brand.
That wasn't mentioned in the update notes but devs these days do hidden stuff not in patch notes all the time. sneaky devs.
Yeah, exactly that.
Gotta do the whole SEO thing and schedule people's attention to what you are wanting to show them
Yeah that makes sense! I was slowly realizing I was answering my own question before I posted lol
Ah, it wasn't even an outlet lol, it's a store. Welp.
The box sizes have been known at least since the Amazon pages went up.
XSX = ~15" x 11.5" x 8.25"
XSS = ~14" x 11.5" x 5"
Both very small like the units themselves.
Got it! Thanks. I was just waking up, so I was a bit confused.
