People are gonna be so confused with the more powerful Xbox One rumors, and now this with 4K video playback being advertised.
Really interested to see if releasing a Slim and a more powerful console within a year (possibly) causes any problems.

Exactly. If early reports are good in the noise department, I'm definitely gonna pick one up for the 4K content.
are there any indications that the controller is smaller?
Black has been retired until the Scorpio because it's the best. No gloss Xbox hardware team!

Not a fan of the design, imo the default xbo looked great visually.

I need a 4K console for my TV, even if just for video.
Slim looks nice, if PS4k is not this year or the slim doesn't do 4K video like the Xbox Slim .... I am going to have to get one.

Didn't think of that. Might be.

4K bluray or just 4K Netflix and stuff like that?

This guy right here gets it. I forget who it was, but somebody ran a test on the db and temperature and the X1 ran cooler and quieter i think. Could be wrong.

If the PS4 became quiet, you would honestly take an internal power brick with the current noise levels? The power brick can easily be hidden.
I basically have to use my Gold wireless headphones at all times when playing games.

Yeah, I can only hope for 4K BR support from one of these new consoles.
Both
i'm sure it will be. it's the same on the current design but they use diagonal lines.
Noo. I keep my consoles out in the open. If those dots are holes, I'll have to keep dusting mine constantly. /lazy bum
Get ur ps4 fixed then. Because from standard sitting distance, i never ever hear my ps4. And ive had 2 of them.
I'm just surmising. But we'll know soon enough. Fingers crossed that it's more like the 360 controller for people who want that.

Not a big fan of the look, but can't really complain about the tech.

I will be waiting for the Scorpio to release next year. I wonder if this will support Dolby Vision HDR, because with Dolby Vision HDR is kind of competing against HDR 10. I know that the new LG and Vizio 4k tvs support Dolby Vision HDR. Also with Dolby Vision HDR it cannot be updated via firmware if a 4k TV or media player does not support Dolby Vision HDR because it uses a special Dolby Vision chip.

Considering I can't hear mine, no I wouldn't trade that.

Man that looks way better in the second image. Lovely console it is.
I have my PS4 sitting on my desk less than 5 feet away from me and i've never ever been bothered by the thing making noise. You dusted yours?
Sure it spins up the fans a bit when i'm in-game but nowhere near loud. My Xbox 360, PS3 fat, PS3 slim are all far, far louder. I don't get the hyperbole myself about these so-called jet engines.
So no, I am really happy they kept the power brick inside for super neat cable management.
My PS4 honestly doesn't make a lot noise? So having an internal power brick was nice. Glad the the XBSlim is the same now.

They are not mutually exclusive... No devices in the last decade have an external power brick, you can have both low noise, heat and still not have external power brick. Having a huge external power brick is laughable and reeks of poor design.

The PSU's internal? WOW. They're going all in and nailing this brand, BIG TIME.
My PS4 is a jet engine. It's quite annoying and to drown it out would have to have my system uncomfortably loud.
The parts that are shrunk make up like 0.5% of the volume of a console
Which is why I asked if there was a point in getting this if it didn't have UHD Blu Ray. TVs in 2016 and beyond should come with Dolby Vision support in their apps so if Microsoft and Sony don't support it then... not good.
I've cleaned out the dust from the side ports, but I've never attempted to clean the inside of dust. I would be so happy if cleaning out the inside made it quiet.
If you'd like, I could post a video of my PS4 playing a movie and playing Uncharted. It is louder than my 360 was, and that was often compared to a jet engine without complaint.

What is HDR? Does the current Xbox One have it?
I'll take two

White holes on a black box or you are emulating dust in the holes?
That would seriously concern me, the Xbox 360 is probably the loudest appliance I ever owned.
Nice look, hope it does well. XB1 obviously needs a jumpstart right now. Hope this is it.
Myself, I'll wait for Scorpio........maybe depending on what that finally becomes and if I have a 4K TV at that point
Two things I am confused in this thread: 1) why are Sony fanboys in here just to give negative comments? you don't like MS/Xbox - we get it and
2) on the flip side, what is with the hyperbole about the PS4 noise? Yes, I can hear mine from time to time, but it's not that bad and usually only notice it about once during a gaming sessions - all this stuff of "a jet engine taking off, etc" is just lol

Whichever is better depends on the receiver.
-- Linear PCM is raw uncompressed audio. A decent receiver will take that Linear PCM stream and send that to your 5.1 or 7.1 speakers. Because it's uncompressed you cannot send Linear PCM across an optical cable, you need an HDMI connection. If you're using an optical cable to transmit audio, you'll need to send audio as bitstream.
-- Bitstream is compressed audio. There are several codecs for compressed audio including Dolby Digital, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, and DTS-HD Master Audio. If your receiver is not compatible with DTS-HD Master Audio, it'll take the DTS lossy track instead and send that to your audio channels. Also, Dolby TrueHD tracks must include the lossy Dolby Digital track for the sake of backwards compatibility for older devices made before 2009.
Note:
Even though Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio are compressed streams, they are lossless. If your receiver supports these codecs, bitstreaming these tracks is equivalent to the Linear PCM track in terms of quality and audio fidelity.
