I can't stop thinking about what the vent at the top will look like after 5 years of use
It seems like that's going to be an issue for all next gen consoles. XSX looks terrible horizontal, PS5DE looks bad sideways too, whereas PS5 standard looks kind of shit upright but the disc drive balances the look of it when it's horizontal.I think it looks fantastic vertically, but like an abomination horizontally. It's kind of funny how much of a difference it makes to my eyes. Might feel differently in person, but right now I'm making some room to have mine stand vertically next to my TV!
100 percent the #1 thing reviewers and media and influencers will say day one, "It's smaller than I thought it would be." Especially if they have a PS5 to compare it to.I feel like you probably can't really judge the design until you see it in person. Scale is important.

It's clean and simple, which makes it look nice. Sure, Sony "took the chance to create something meaningful" (LOL!), but when it comes across as something that would fit right at home under the "gamer gear" department of an electronics store, why even bother?As much hate the PS5 got for its design at least Sony took the chance to create something meaningfull where artists actually took the time to create something fresh and exciting. I don't understand how anyone can look at the Xbox Series X and think; ''That is one sexy looking machine!'' - Of course, it is the games that matter and not the box in the long run, but the eyes want something beautiful to look at as well.
Dunno, at least it's reconizable which should be the whole point of a console design.It's clean and simple, which makes it look nice.

Hmmmm, sounds like the bottom will be more dustier than I thought, since the air flow is sucking all the dusts on the surface in. If the gaps are thin enough, it might be ok?I think the actual vents are top and bottom
as illustrated here
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.
Power button and USB type A
Is the button on the bottom the power button?
edit: wanted the picture and the quote didn't show the picture.
I m the exact opposite even I went and bought led stand for ps3 and x360 to make them light up haha.I would personally rather have anything there than an LED that lights up my room Xbox green ™
Fine with leaving coloured light up hardware options to the PC streamer market rather than something I'm gonna have in my living room.

That's by far the ugliest, most uninspired console design I've ever seen.
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 .

Except when it's turned off and dust just floats on down through the grill, right?

I m not talking about size. the design make it a no no for me in horizontal position. Very aesthetically unpleasing for me personally .I think its small size makes it an okay prospect to put on its side.
Its literally as tall and as deep as a controller is wide when horizontal.
The back seems to have about the same amount of intake than the bottom....maybe even a little bit more.
But yeah if you have a dusty desk or whatever, might need to figure some shit out.
Do your other consoles have the same issue?
Good stuff, thank you. Looks like I'll be fine. Console is so ugly though, haha. Though I don't care as long as the games are good.Its a square so its as deep as it is wide.
The console is a controller wide/deep when vertical.
So get your Xbox One controller.....thats how wide it is, stand your controller on its side....thats how tall it is when its on its horizontal.
Thank you, that makes a lot more sense.No it's the sync button. For syncing a controller. Same as on the current Xbox.
The Xbox logo is the power button.
i mean if pineapple on a pizza wasn't a shred of evidence...
Nah! PS5 is uglier.That's by far the ugliest, most uninspired console design I've ever seen.
I think this design is meant to fit anyone's aesthetic needs. At 45 years old with an amazing finished basement, this is way more in line with my tastes. Will sit anywhere really without being gaudy or distracting. My PS5 however, I have not figured out what to do with yet. I could put it next to the fish tank? Behind it maybe? Hopefully they at least have a black version at some point.
Yeah Im expecting a lot that, these systems are almost always much smaller than they appear in pictures.100 percent the #1 thing reviewers and media and influencers will say day one, "It's smaller than I thought it would be." Especially if they have a PS5 to compare it to.
I only own a Switch and a gaming PC. Switch is always played in handheld mode, or is clamped to a gooseneck holder that I wrap around my neck with.

As for the PC, I have an external graphics card bay attached, and it's getting all these tiny spiders in there... I don't know what to do, because I live next to a state park.
Based on the reflectiveness in OP's pics, does that mean it's glossy? And if so, why? Think of the fingerprints.
