Had loads of fun on my 360 when that came out.

I think they've said it's slightly larger than the current 360.

I think Microsoft have shot themselves in the foot with this hideous looking design

I wonder if there are two versions of GTA V in development since the One is not backwards compatible with the 360?

He sounds a bit like Michael J Fox.

I wander if they cut a deal with Sony to use some of those Betamax Shells they had lying around.. It's fugly for sure.

Unless you're precious I doubt many people will care what it looks like.
If you just use cloud compute to pre render/prepare all the physix (or whatever) requirements/types for the level / area / within a mile of your current position etc. and then cache/preload them locally it shouldn't be a problem.
Dunno, I'm just guessing but as they very specifically called out the increase of servers from 15000 currently to 300,000 and specifically mentioned the ability to offload compute power to the cloud I guess they have something in mind.
I just think it's an element that has been missed that could be a significant step forward in gaming, almost unlimited compute power.
swearing in video.

Well, I don't think I'll be getting one. This new Xbox just has too many features I won't use.
I don't have Sky/Cable or even terrestrial channels tuned in to my TV. Everything I watch is downloaded to my server or streamed from the web.
I don't play online games. I grew out of that a few years ago, and haven't paid for a gold subscription since. As I don't pay for gold, my 360 use is crippled as I can't watch netflix on it, or use the browser. I won't buy a console that does anything similar again.
I don't own or plan on owning any blu-ray discs. Physical media is something I won't buy if I can avoid it. The only reason I buy physical Xbox games is that they're over priced if you download them.
I don't want or need Kinect. I tried it, it was novel for one evening at a mates, and that was the end of my interest.
As for the PS4, I can't say I'm too bothered about that either. I reserved judgement until I'd seen the Xbox offering, but PS4 is winning for me, but still not by enough to buy one.
Thank goodness GTA 5 is coming out. At least there's something to look forward to.

Supposedly improved.

First thing that leaps at me from the picture! It looks so 1989 lol!
It looks like one of those bespoke cd-player's audiophiles get wet about.
OMG those Vents! They would not look out of place on an Atari ST. Not a bad thing in a retro kinda way. I can see sometime in the future when dozens of these things have gone down with a new version of RROD and people mod the cases for other things.
Talking about RROD, anyone hazard a guess as to what the new cockup will be which causes mass failures? Or am I being cynical?
