i really wish they still had HDMI in. I really like that feature on the xbox one, and it frees up a spot on my receiver, maybe being a dev kit they’ll add it, but prolly not

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH2306d ago

I used it and I think anyone who had a cable box next to their Xbox used it. It free’d up a HDMI port why would you not use it?

porkChop2306d ago

Did it have true bypass/passthrough on the XBO? Like can you use your reciever if the XBO is off?

UnHoly_One2306d ago (Edited 2306d ago )

No, the Xbox has to be on.

jznrpg2306d ago

Nope that’s why it’s gone

porkChop2306d ago

Ah, that's really not ideal. You'd want true bypass. It's common in newer HDMI sound systems.

Immorals2306d ago

I love it, but it didn't have 4k pass through so I only use it for my switch

Kribwalker2306d ago

yeah that was my only complaint. there’s such a limited amount of 4k content through my tv service so i wasn’t too concerned right now, but next gen it woulda been great to have it with 4k pass through

Poopmist2306d ago

The added input lag makes it kinda useless to me

Not hating here (I couldn't care less about console designs) but its a carbon copy of my Soundbar subwoofer...

UltraNova2306d ago (Edited 2306d ago )

Weird request but what the hell

PS': This JBL punches way above its weight. Highly recommend.

Functionality first as far as I'm concerned. This design might allow them to install a bigger heat sink and an axial fan to properly cool the APU without sounding like a starting jet engine.

General thoughts on the pics:
C8 inlet bodes well for power efficiency. I wouldn't put too much emphasis on missing USB-C slots as this could easily change for the retail version. HDMI-in probably won't get added though unless the interface is already on the motherboard and it's just the socket missing from this prototype.

nucky642306d ago

well, sitdown just got BURRRRRNED!

darthv722306d ago

Sorry nova but your sub is similarly shaped, but not a "carbon copy". CC implies it is like for like and your sub is missing a slot drive and USB on the front. Has different footing and prob lacks all the venting and ports on the back.

This boxy design is not new but this one is unique. Its internals and layout are like nothing before it. Even apple (who has pioneered new designs years before) doesnt have anything that looks like this. Their cube is smaller and has a top loading slot drive.

Ricegum2306d ago

Oh god. Here comes Darth with his defense of the mini fridge.

darthv722306d ago

You read my comment wrong then Rice. I was pointing out that Nova was incorrect in saying it is a carbon copy. you must have reading comprehensions issues if you think that is somehow "defending" seeing as his comment wasnt "attacking".

UltraNova2306d ago

Darth...man...ok... Smh.

That actually looks really nice. Much nicer looking then in the promotional images. Very sleek looking.

Looks like the power brick ate the console.

Consumer: put the power brick inside the console please!
MS: hold my beer

@s2 dats too funny

darthv722306d ago

The brick has been inside since the S. You were expecting it to be external again?

"sleek"? i thought it looks clumsy and block-like.

StoneyYoshi2306d ago (Edited 2306d ago )

I think 4kgk69x was trying to say is, how can you think thats sleek looking? Nothing about this system looks smooth and glossy. Sleek looking would make more sense for the launch PS3. If anything the Series X is very sharp looking.

CaptainHenry9162306d ago

I like the Xbox one X design better

silenthillstrangler2306d ago

Looks exactly the same as the promotional images. exactly.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio17d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing17d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9217d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit17d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing17d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9217d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
