Look at the picture of the XBOX next to the controller. Doesnt look that big.

yeah I will admit once that picture was posted does not look that big, but it definitely looked bigger in motion.

Seriously looks like an old Dell PC

Why gloss, WHY?!

Most HT components are either piano-black/glossy-black or matte-black - and VERY few are the latter. XB ONE is designed to fit in - NOT stand out.

Gloss is horrible but, and they've made it half matte half gloss?!

Looks like another one of those ugly and nondescript black boxes that sit on someone's shelf gathering dust. This thing looks like a cheap low profile PC from the mid noughties.

15 Exclusives in first year, 8 are Brand New.

Which makes you wonder, what are the rest that aren't new? I guess they managed to snag a few former multiplatform titles and made them exclusive now which is big news.

Are they going to show anything in real time at all?

At least that's a new IP shown.

That's what I'm waiting for...

All these things seem to do is distort reality with all their hyperbole. It's like they believe most of their audience is stupid and gullible... maybe some are, but most of us just want to see the actual gameplay and don't care about how they want to describe real life experiences transfering over to games.

The box itself looks horrible imho.

Following on Ars... seems like they are caring less about the games, and more about the whole TV aspect.. As a gamer I couldn't care less about the ability to tell a device "I wanna watch tv now, kthx". Seems like they are losing focus of the games, and focusing on how can we get people who don't play video games to buy our videogame console.

    • Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.
    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
