I’m coming around on the design now that I’ve mentally placed it vertical behind my TV instead of horizontal in the shelf under it. Would be better for me personally if the power button was on the right side instead, though.

The name though...still not sold. Especially when Xbox ∞ is an option.

They should just admit that these are on the phone hardware model now and call it the Xbox 2020 X

Roman numerals would've been the classy move for 2020. The Xbox MMXX. It'd be awkward to pronounce, but that's on brand.

2020 in roman numerals could be represented as XX0XX0 so obviously the name needs to be Xbox XX0XX0

So many people have their TVs over the fireplace (WHY?!) so the new design looks more comfy to fit on the mantle underneath. Makes sense to me. Big entertainment centers are no longer the modern way, and Nintendo has done plenty of work to get away from the pizza box form factor.

However, I loving hate that we can't just use model numbers or versions or revisions or some other normal way of naming things. Everything has a generic, unsearchable name that is not clear at all where it fits in the line of things.

Xbox20? XB20? Nahhhh, "Series X"

You know they're going to give the two versions extra stupid modifiers. You'll have to order an "Xbox Series X Gaming Edition" or an "Xbox Series X Players Edition" or something similarly confusing.

Don't care how big it is as long as it's quiet. I'm glad they pay attention to stuff like that because it's probably my biggest pet peeve with the PS4.

Mine made some noise but wasn't that loud so I don't know wtf, wonder if the US batches were bad. I have two of the most recent Pros (the one with the smaller power cable) and they're both very quiet.

They should have did the trashcan design like Apple did for their Mac Pro. You can lay it on its side but it will roll around.

My launch Pro is also loud :( It overheated to the point of crashing in the same conditions as my regular PS4, I had to rearrange my setup to give it more room to breathe. I think Sony really did muck something up with that first batch.

I ordered some thermal pads just have something to fiddle with ahead of The Last of Us, but some also say placing something underneath the console like a jewel case can improve airflow.

TLOU:R stuttered pretty crazy when I revisited it on my PS4 a while back, so something's up, and that's with proper rear airflow.

DF said the later ones make a lower frequency noise so its less annoying in addition to being a bit quieter

The Xbox One Series X Isn't Designed For Women, And That's Not Okay

Microsoft revealed their next generation of the Xbox console line yesterday at the Game Awards, and once again they've forgotten that over 50% of all gamers are women. With aggressive, masculine corners, the Xbox Series X is a phallic tower next to your TV, designed to look at home in a "man cave" or frat room, right next to the dirty bong.
