Western vtubers.

 

[SilverX]

That tower looks damn big!

 

[Watership]

Jeff Bakalar too.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

But when?

 

[LeMillion]

Hot damn! Microsoft is not missing a marketing beat. Can't wait to see and hear more. Let me live vicariously through media outlets until I can have my Series X living comfortably in my entertainment center.

 

[kodax_shc]

Why did they send people dummy units a week ago only to send out real units a week later?

 

[HiLife]

Damn the smudges in the second screenshot. I am placing it by my game center and never touching it again.

 

[Kordelle]

finally, hope the embargo ends soon, give it to me!

 

[Mad_Rhetoric]

Are they showing more later today?

 

[Sundrowned]

The Don Mattrick heart tho

Is there an embargo on impressions?

That thing really does attract oil and fingerprints. In almost every video where people have had hands-on with it, the console has had tons of oil/fingerprints.

 

[The Laughing Man]

Does Keighley usually have pretty good reviews and insight during demos?

 

[platocplx]

IGN just posted this.


looks like we will get someconsole reviews soon from the media!

 

[KernelC]

what if they sent an Xbox One X by mistake

 

[JaggedSac]

That expansion card is tiny af

To be fair, it looks like his entire room is probably covered in greasy fingerprints

 

[xem]

lets gooooo, i need impressions. hope they let them play lots of diff games. any word on Digital Foundry getting one?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Ahhh yes. Next gen begins when the hand on previews start to hit

 

[cdm00]

Good Keighley and Grubbsnax did too

 

[Equanimity]

Why not tell is the date and time?

 

[LordofPwn]

cool! Hope the dashboard/menu system/ui is super slick and easy to use. Will this also be first time we see gameplay from an actual series X too or did i miss something?

 

[Menx64]

Send one to Easyallies if you want my business MS!


Jk, but I love their impressions.

 

[Kyoufu]

They discontinued that so they won't make that mistake.

 

[Transistor]

I really want to see more of the fast game switching. That's pretty much the one thing that might make me invest in a Series X.

 

[Turkoop]

More like preview

 

[Rocketz]

finally

 

[Theorry]

This means we get info really soon on the noise also. Wich is great.

 

[JoseDFrog]

Wasn't GEOFF having trouble pre-ordering?????

 

[KDash]

I saw IGN post a video and decided to check if more got it. Nice that they did. Can't wait to see it in action!

Might make the wait for my pre-order to arrive even harder, though. Hah.

 

[UnderTheKillingSun]

Wonder what they're playing?

AC? Enhanced Gears/Forza? The Medium?

 

[Omeganex9999]

Nice! I wonder if they will be able to test current game and see how the XSS enhances them

 

[ghostcrew]

Click to shrink...

holy shit

 

[Ganado]

Is it really sustainable to send these units out?

 

[Tunichtgut]

Soon as in today, or in few days?

 

[jbug617]

What are they gonna play? BC games?

 

[Krakatoa]

This is good, shows they are confident to get it out into peoples hands early.

[Lant_War]

Next gen is actually a real thing? Could've fooled me. Can't wait for more impressions.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

holy shit

Click to shrink...

I cackled at that

 

[svnty6rs3]

Xbox is kicking ass in terms of getting their system out there and messaging.

 

[Deleted member 46804]

Why did they send people dummy units a week ago only to send out real units a week later?

Click to shrink...

Because marketing. Everyone was talking about that. Now here we are again. It is a ramp up to release and MS is trying to keep their product in the spotlight.

From my Ars "unboxing" (we were not allowed to show the box, since it was not a retail box) -

If you have additional questions after seeing this hardware, there's a 5-percent chance we can point you to other existing information or coverage to answer them. Otherwise, if we don't reply, please do not fret. We're listening. And as soon as we're allowed to tell you more (on dates we can't publicly confirm just yet), we will.
