Guess Microsoft is lifting embargos on some basic Series S and X impressions, seems some journalists have 'non-functional' units (so this is of limited use really) to get impressions of them in person, but interesting to see contrasted with the One X.

Port info:
Microsoft hasn’t discussed the rear ports of the Xbox Series S, but I can confirm there will be two USB ports, an HDMI 2.1 out, an Ethernet port, the same Xbox storage expansion slot found on the larger Series X, and the usual power port. Microsoft has also added raised Braille bumps next to the ports on both the Xbox Series S and X — a nice touch for accessibility. There’s also a single USB port at the front of the Series S.

Edit: Some other shots... god knew the Series X was big but it really is a monster seeing it alongside current gen consoles;

All consoles should be the size & form factor of the Series S, or at least the Xbox One X.

Maybe in like 2000. It looks the size of a PS2.
Gorgeous design IMO.
The Series X looks loving atrocious.

Both look better than the abomination that is the PS5

Gotta admit I kinda like both designs. The ps5 looks really silly in comparison, yea.

I think I'm going to get one of these stupid things. Not at launch, but maybe next year. I'm a broken nerd that doesn't enjoy Sony's narrative driven exclusives and I want to play Forza and a few games on the backward compatible list.

This could get emotional...


I mean everyone has their own tastes but I've found from the current gen Sony's exclusives like TLOU2, God of War, HZD, the last guardian, Bloodborne, Spiderman, FF7R, uncharted, Ghost of Tsushima etc are much more enjoyable experiences than games like assassin's creed 15, call of duty 27 and far cry 11.

I mean the series S is just a white box with a black circle on it and people are all "GOD THAT IS HIDEOUS!"

It's such an inoffensive design. God gamers are so insufferable.

Ghost of Tsushima is about the only thing listed that I think I would enjoy a playthrough of. Fair play to people that like all those other third person games but I don't find them that enjoyable.

If they ever get released on something besides a playstation, I'll check them out. I don't agree with Sony's policies regarding exlcusives and crossplay, so I won't be supporting them.
