Xbox One Discussion

[Pelly <3's U]

Well that's what happens when something is so immensely disappointing and terrible to so many people. I'm sure Sonic 06 threads were similar when it came out. 

 

 

Sure they still can be, and that's why we come in a moderate them when things get out of hand.

 

Regardless, this is still moving this topic further off topic so hence-force keep talking about the xbox one....even if it's just to talk about how bad you think it is, just keep it within the rules of contributing to the topic in a non-spammy way.

 

Edit: Whoa triple attack :U

Let me get this straight.

You want to help negativity on the board... By having a thread filled with pure, relentless, occasionally funny negativity. Okay.

Eh.. the negativity on the forum had a stigma that caused divides within the community. Many users were getting upset with each other and many warnings were issued out by administrators/mods. The forum even has a sticky about being hostile against each other. The negativity seen on other parts of the forum only splits apart the SSMB family.

 

This thread on the other hand while negative, is on the opposite spectrum. Everyone is laughing and joining in on the fun. No one is getting hurt (excuse the one or two people taking it too far). The negativity is actually bringing the forum together. I haven't seen the forum get along this well in forever. It's a nice change from the constant jabs, insults, snarky comments, and friendships torn apart.

Once again, I agree. I don't see anyone here being an asshole or douche towards anyone, (not that I know of.) and everybody here is just doing what the Xone is supposed to do. Bring us together, give us some laughs, and share some hearty jokes. In fact, I'd say this whole day is kind of an up day for ol' ssmb. No negativity, no snark, just good old fashioned MST3K style riffs towards a console that got presented badly and we can all say 'amen' on that.

 

I'm liking half this tomorrow morning.

I know I've mentioned this before, but the design is probably the one thing I can praise the console for. I seriously get an Xboner off of it.

 

Am I the only one who likes the bulky design? I also love the little stripe pattern it has on exactly one half of the console. Or is that an air vent? Because that would be a giant fucking air vent.

 

Yes this is me trying to diffuse all this tension. Am I working

Ok I said back on topic, I appreciate the reasonable responses but we've spoken to get back on the Xbox one as a topic rather than the /xbox one topic/ and now I'd like that to be respected.

[turbojet]

So what are the hardware specs on this again? We kind of lost sight of that when the news hit. How does this thing compare to the Wi U and the PS4?

[Solkia]

8GB RAM (5 Usable) is the only thing I know of.

 

I'll look real fast.

 

EDIT: Octa-core CPU

 

Nothing on the clock speed or GPU from what I can find.

I do seriously like the design. It's looks like a VCR...so? That's what they're going for. The idea is something that can fit in with anyones TV set and not look out of place. I think it looks nice, sleek and simple.

 

I don't know the actual dimensions of it, but I imagine it's about the same size as the first PS3 and 360, which would not be that bad.

 

I love the boxy design of the thing, but I like things that are boxy in general so maybe I'm not the person to ask. I have a lot of issues with the console, but design is not one of them.

Well, I can say one thing. All those vents should cut the chances of hardware failure.

Pfft. It looks much bigger than that to me. Looks a bit bigger than your average 90s VCR player. I still don't get how Nintendo manages to squeeze their tech into those tiny little boxes on the first model. The Wii U doesn't even seem to be that behind graphics wise this gen.

 

Though I guess the Xbone's size is justifiable, I mean where else would you fit all that sports and tv? And that advanced cooling system they better fucking have. I never got a RRoD personally (with my Elite which I got early 2010), but I have known enough people that have had that problem and its pretty shitty. Doesn't the Slim also have that problem a bit?

5 usable? The PS4 only had 4 iirc so that gives the new Xbox an edge.

[Solkia]

I don't really know for sure. I hear the OS takes up 3, but don't have a source to give for that.

[Patticus]

I too like the Xbone's design, as well as the controller's new look. Even Kinect's new look is really nice. All the hardware, and the dashboard too actually, looks lovely.

It's just a bunch of that other crap, which MS decided to bury in press releases they hoped would let them slip by unnoticed, that makes the whole shebang unpalatable.

I hate the design. It honestly just looks like an oversized DVD player with the Xbox logo slapped on. Entirely unremarkable.

[Ferno]

 

The main beef I have with the console itself is the sheer size. But other than that detail I'm a sucker for shiny things and boxy things (heck the Gamecube is still one of my favorite console designs ever,) so yeah, I like those parts of the design.

I like the fact that it looks like it was made to lay down, something about when people used their 360's upright always made me feel uneasy

It honestly doesn't look that much bigger than the original 360 laid down on its side.

[Solkia]

So do those vents actually do something? Or do the only thing they do is collect dust like a Mega Drive?

[Pelly <3's U]

Clearly they're gills so you can play it underwater Sokia >:U

 

It's hard to tell from the pic though, at the angle the side ones look like they literally could just be decorative but that'd be an odd choice

I can't stand standing consoles upright. My PS3 is currently upright and I hate it. WHAT IF IT FALLS?!

[Solkia]

But PS3 is designed to lay flat. :V

 

Blame the PS2 for that trend.

[Conando]

I only stand the Wii and Wii U upright. Something about the other 2 makes me feel real uneasy, they just don't look like they're meant to do it.

[Pelly <3's U]

Plus I've had bad experiences with my original 360 just /destroying/ my disks if it got slightly bumped, so I'm warey of upright things that look wobbly. You gotta just stack all your stuff.

[Tornado]

Vents looks like they work about the same as on the Slim 360.

Really digging that proprietary hardrive that can't be changed being hooked up with regular SATA cables, too.
