Seems like some guy bought it at Walmart before release date.

I know Xbox + discless consoles are two unpopular things on here but this thing is very aesthetically clean. Probably my favorite looking conole of this gen now...

 

[LectureMaster]

The white color does look slick and premium.

 

[Banjo64]

Sorry, I just see that there’s a huge void inside where the disc drive no longer exists and MS couldn’t be bothered to redesign the console to reflect this.

The Series S in black is the nicest console they’ve ever made. Shame about the ram.

 

[Skifi28]

I could be colorblind, but it looks more pink than while to me.

 

[adamsapple]

Way too bright white, have a dash of color in there somewhere.

 

[Judge Magister]

That's not saying much, PS5 design is atrocious.

 

[Nankatsu]

Perfect to collect dust too.

 

[El Muerto]

It looks slick, but should of been slimmed down.
I was really hoping that the disc patent filed back in 2020 would come to fruition. Pop a disc in another xbox or pc and you get to play your physical games on your console.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

And I thought my PS5 was ugly.

Series X in black looks really nice, this looks terrible.

 

[Badlucktroll]

look sleek and clean…but hopefully wont turn yellow over the years

 

[Katatonic]

The most uninspired, aimed to offend no one (but me), flavorless design of all time imo (next to the Series S). To make it worse, that green piece of plastic on top looks toyish as hell.

 

[Kacho]

Looks good. My dvd and Blu-ray collection am cry

 

[Three]

Would you say it's adorable?

It's just a regular series x without a slot.

 

[RoboFu]

not a fan of any console design this gen.

True but I'm guessing the cooling might be slightly better if there is more space in there with the disc drive removed. The person who posted this on reddit said it seemed to be but of course that is pretty anecdotal...

 

[Quasicat]

I’ll be picking mine up on Tuesday next week. I can’t wait!

 

[Thief1987]

It looks like xbox series x but white

 

[Jesb]

It’s a pc tower which have been around forever.

 

[chokotoureiki]

That looks niiiiiiiice. Me likey.

 

[CLW]

Easy to keep things looking CLEAN that NEVER get used

 

[BigLee74]

Nah, much better in black!

 

[AngelMuffin]

Hopefully, they make a toaster out of this one.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Cool if you are a minimalist who loves dust inside your console.

[sendit]

It’s crazy how much better the PS5 is designed

 

[Punished Miku]

Gotta admit the new one does look cleaner. I like it

 

[gothmog]

It looks weird compared to the black monolith.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Should of been at launch instead of the S

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

So clean that it was cleaned from games too

I beg your pardon, I'm punishing myself right meow

 

[finalflame]

should be horizontal

 

[Codes 208]

i still think it shouldve been $400 at most, not $450

 

[Fess]

It reflects the lazy internal changes, same thing + 1TB, meh

Could’ve redesigned it, now they’ve just removed the disc slot and painted a Series X white.

 

[drganon]

Looks like a humidifier.

 

[Alan Wake]

I like white but this just looks very dull. You know there's a void in there because there's no disc drive. Why not try a redesign? I still think the white One S is their best looking console. I bought the white One X and that looks great too.

 

[Porcile]

Looks like something you would put in a bathroom

 

[TropicanaTwista]

I think the console looks pretty slick but my god, that controller in the OP is hideous. everything about the color layout is trash and the dpad, just

 

[clarky]

Should be avoidable if its in the loft within 2.

 

[Cakeboxer]

It's just white.....
Wake me up when they start releasing unique designs like:

You could do almost anything with that formfactor and all they do is black and white.

 

[Little Chicken]

The PS5 is hideous next to a Series X. Looks like a cheap toy, I have both on the same shelf.

 

[PurePlatinum]

This console is hideous. At least you have the option of making the ps5 not-hideous by getting the disc less one.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

It looks like a mini-fridge

 

[Regginator]

I suppose that would be pretty cool if your room looks like this

Looks great but not enough change to get me to swap it for my launch Series X.

 

[MadchesterManc]

I had a One S that I thought looked pretty good, but I don't think this looks good - probably the lack of a black trim.

Being able to easily slide out the side panels for new ones also helps with that. Replaced mine with collarless black ones and the PS5 looks pretty slick now

Yea, I kinda wish I had the black Series S, but as far as white consoles go, I'm surprised how much I like it (best since DC). As for Series X, since it's so imposing I think the better color depends on its environment to minimize how garishly it pops from its surroundings. Against a white wall on a white table this is a good idea, in the shadows of an entertainment center I'd prefer black.

 

[DinoD]

Is there an option to hook up an external BD drive?

 

[Segaswirl]

Looks great in white. I have way too many Xbox games on disc though so I need that drive.

Although the series s looks clean, I prefer the all black one x. That was a nice looking box

 

[fbnaulin]

I prefer black consoles or a solid fun color, not into white.
But, I'm very inclined to minimalist, straight lines, so I have loved Xbox designs since One X/S.
PS4 Slim/Pro is amazing as well, and I have been horrified with PS5.
