That would make sense. I could see it. Hopefully you could buy a drive/cartridge adapter for use of other manufacturer's SSDs.

Yeah. Thankfully they are fake. They all look terrible.
It's just a person having fun imagining... and showing off their ideas. Doesn't have to be a zero sum game all the time people.
Fucking barf. Those suckers need a Monster Energy Drink sticker plastered on their sides.It is a mock up by Xbox Pope - But still solid.
My Fav one Sooo good HALO!!
Love this one as well.
I'm actually a bit concerned after seeing this that they intend to start selling it early to get the jump on PS5. Manufacturing 'prototypes' in essentially the final form factor and design a full year in advance seems a bit extreme does it not?
I like the idea of them launching a bit early to get a head start on Sony (if they can sell it for $499 even at a loss for a few months), but given the lack of exclusive games for it and the fact the the X1X is a thing already it's hard to imagine it playing out well for them.

I see them launching end of September to get a head start. Halo should be ready by then in addition to all the third party (Cyberpunk, Assassins creed, COD etc)
You've missed the entire point. That being, if Microsoft are the only sellers then they can guarantee a certain speed. Not all SSDs are made equally.
I honestly think it looks awesome. It being so beastly just adds to it's appeal.
Next-gen can't come soon enough!

One reason I think it won't happen is because with a phone, you always get a charger too, on Playstation, you only get a cable and I don't believe they put a cable into the box that nobody can use anywhere because it isn't really a standard yet. That's anti consumer, that's not happening. They could put a charger into the box too to get it over, sure, but it would surprise me.
Not a fan of the creations by pope I must say. After the initial reveal of the console I think I saw some that were quite nice, but not 100% sure.
Seems like pope overdoes the use of sharpness and makes everything just way too busy. Less is more is something I believe he/she could adhere to in order to improve his/her creations.
Curious about the cylindrical foot of the console. Maybe it is just simply that, or something that can be detached in order to attach something else for the future? Microsoft with their carbon footprint news could become even better if the console could be upgraded in some way and thus not become "obsolete".

Anyone else think that long rectangular port in the middle looks like it might fit an M2 SSD?
Maybe not a standard PC one but I think that's the HD expansion slot right there. They will most likely be Xbox specific built drives though rather than plug in pc type parts.

Considering they are pushing SSD speeds and beyond and the majority of external HDDs people have just wont cut it, it makes sense to have expansion support.
That actually makes a ton of sense, just a month or two early. Best box for the AAA multiplats that are just out and Halo... a sort of 'why not buy this one right now instead of waiting for PS5? It's more powerful than PS5 anyway' would be pretty compelling.
Still incredibly disappointed at the lack of USB-C ports. I just cannot fathom how they aren't even bothering to include one of them on this thing.
Nobody besides boomers remembers a movie that is still regularly in "top 10 best films of all time" lists.
If that mystery port is an SSD expansion port, it will be interesting to see the price of expanding the storage, especially if it's a proprietary design for the console.
Majority of accessory is still USB Typ A.
They want people to still use their Xbox One stuff. There is no space constrain.
Those are not ports to charge. USB 3.1 and Typ C isn't cheap.
Most USB Typ C phone ports are not even USB 3.1
I'm not saying to ditch Type-A completely, but to have zero Type-C ports on a new hardware generation coming out in late 2020?
That's fucking absurd.
Thing is, what USB C things are people really going to plug in that requires a USB C to USB C? Apart from data transfer, its mainly for quick charging phones etc, so unless they plan to add a quick charger option to controllers (Which would be awesome tbh), I don't see the need for dedicated USB C ports. Not that it takes up much space of course, so they may as well.
I like that one a lot but my Halo 4 one next to it is my favorite! Don't see a need for hdmi in since they have killed all the tv features snap etc. hoped it had usb c that slot looks like a NVME plug-in fingers crossed.Silver Reach 360 was whew one of my favorites ever.

Yep, weird to see the disappointment for lack of USB-C, which is meant for portable device to save space. And, whatever phone or laptop you bought that has USB-C is likely more expensive than even the highest estimates for these systems.
And even for laptops, most are still outnumbered by their USB-A ports. Microsoft isn't designing this system to make it easier to charge your phones. That goes for people talking about USB 4.0 (!) and such...consoles were never about cutting edge tech for the most part.
I agree...everyone wants to talk about the massive power increase these systems will have and if they will reach parity with high-end PCs...how can they do that and keep the system the same size while keeping it cool? Since the 90s, every new gen has increased in size and to a lesser extent, weight.
I think I hear what you're asking for. I expect this is gonna make us both super rich!
Honestly, I'd buy a Mr. Chief box. I still have a Mr. Chief plushy still hanging in my media room window.I think I hear what you're asking for. I expect this is gonna make us both super rich!
SOLD.
This one is classy for staying in the open in households that care about beauty
Only the finest things for the finest rooms.
I'd put it under glass in that room everyone has that you can't actually sit in.
These custom made looks for the Xbox SeX that are getting posted here look all so hideous.
Really not a great looking console especially if you put shit on it.

Hey! The reason you have an Xbox Series X to lust after is that people like me have been playing video games for forty years!

Hummm I wonder why this post wasn't flagged for console warring 🤔
I hope so, I've been worried that PS5 and Xbox wouldn't have any storage expansion options because of how the SSDs are being used.
This wouldn't be free of speed issues, though. Not all NVMe drives are created equal, and someone could potentially buy an off-the-shelf drive that could be slower than what's in the system.
It's glorious. Doesn't even overheat in this realistic scenario.
That controller is DOPE.
If CP2077 gets a release on XSX with this. I AM SO BUYING IT!
