The new name spells XBOX
Can you walk me through that? This may be because english is my second language, but Xbox One X? How does that spell Xbox? Even if its first letters, that just spells XOX?
You could view “X Box” as two words, in which case, it becomes X Box One X. Or XBOX.
wow…thats really reaching…!
The consoles that matter are AMD. The tablet that can also output HDMI is Nvidia.

I appreciate the spoilered text. :)
Spoiler: No
While it’s still completely fair for someone to question why they should buy a $500 Xbox One X over a $400 PS4 Pro, what’s undeniable is that $500 for an Xbox One X is a completely fair price, and we were all pretty crazy to think that Microsoft would be able to sell what they were promising for $100 cheaper.
I wouldn’t call a RX-580 4k-capable either, even at only 30fps. Minimum for that would be a 1070, and really a 1080. Don’t need a 1080ti for 30fps.
Of course by the time the XboneX releases Vega will be released and GPU prices will adjust downward, possibly by quite a bit.
Something tells me Microsoft gets a better deal on those parts than I do.
So MS is releasing a day1 edition of the XboneX. No big deal, right? Well, no, but gotta say that the packaging looks super-tight.
It does look slick, but I’m not a fan of the Project Scorpio controller, with all black buttons.
When you can create your own Xbox controller through their design lab option, I love all kinds of color options, but I hate the option of changing the face buttons away from Red, Blue, Green, Yellow. Those are big bright colors that can help someone learn a new controller, more so than the letters used (B,X,A,Y).
That’s the coloration of the Elite controller, which I’m sure I’ll continue to use instead of what’s included with the XBX. But then, I had to check, so it’s clearly not a deal breaker for me.
But yeah, that pleasing color scheme going back to the SNES should not be so easily abandoned.
Hadn’t thought of that, I don’t pay attention to the buttons or colors but it’s useful for playing with my son - I can tell him to hit the yellow button to switch characters in Lego games, for example. But I’ll just let him use one of my old controllers I imagine, so problem solved.
Remember the above pics are only for the cool as hell looking day 1 “Project Scorpio” version of the XboneX. Normal XboneX’s will have a different box, case, and controller.
Preorders apparently going live tomorrow.
After the keynote? 10 pm eastern right?
Is there going to be a must-have exclusive launch title for this thing or just another Halo?
Not even that, all they got this fall is Forza.
