I think Verizon generally has a better network. But as a T-Mobile subscriber for 10+ years I really can’t speak with authority on that.

None of that has anything to do with what he’s just said. You bringing it up is only making things worse. So… stop.

I wouldn’t call Yahoo an also-ran. They were the internet company for much of the internet’s history. Has-been maybe but not also-ran.

Disagree. I would not hide the Q in a cabinet. Even if I paid for it.

I know. But you’re stuck on this idea of not stacking things directly on top of eachother. Regardless of that, the components will be near and visually above and below eachother. Even if they have their own shelves.

I’m not sure which nondescript reasons you’re referring to.

And just for the record, people stack things directly on top of other components. All the time.

Yep. I think they would have made it smaller if they could have. The controller, on the otherhand, looks pretty nice. Though I’d have to hold it before passing final judgement.

I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said. I think Microsft (or whoever designed this for them) didn’t do a very good job of designing the Xbox. But I wouldn’t call it ugly. Just boring.

Didn’t the original PS3 have a similar backlash? People called it fat and ugly? The “Slim” addressed much of that. I think maybe the xbox will get a midlife refresh that will adress many of these issues.

Disagree. HTC One is definitely nicer looking.

You said shape. The shape is a box. Also nonugly isn’t a word.

Secondly, I don’t think it’s that ugly. So… there.

Meh. Given the backlash on the xbox’s looks, Sony can redeem themselves with some strong industrial design.

It’s a box. They didn’t integrate Kinect because that would require that the entire console be front/center which may not work with many peoples’ set-ups. IT’S JUST A BOX.

Perhaps. But they’re still likely to be “stacked” in a cabinet or on a shelf in the vicinity of eachother. Regardless of being physically on top of another box, this xbox is similar aesthetically, to the typical BluRay player, DVR or cable box.

Personally I would keep all of these in a cabinet as my entertainment center is very simple and clean and a pile of different sized black boxes is goiong to disrupt that clean design.

I actually think NZXT Cases look better than this XBox. But then again, they’re designed to appeal specifically to gamers.

Not sure I will buy one, actually. But not because of looks. I agree with you, the looks are not a dealbreaker. My PS3 currently resides in a cabinet. Despite the fact that It looks nice.

Looks like the console is built into the power brick.

Quite. It seems their design focus was on the controller, which I’m sort of okay with.

It does look plasticy. Both matte and glossy. I agree this does not seem very high-end to me. From a form standpoint I don’t think it’s offensive, but it’s certainly not very exciting.
