Thoughts?

I like the controller.

Thats literally about it.

What I don't get is how come they didn't keep the adjustable D-pad from the new 360 controllers, and maybe add some more onto the joysticks like the aftermarket ones you can get.

Because the adjustable D-STICK was just that. It still wasn't a true D-pad.

Back in my day, this was an Xbox 1

Fucking microsoft, now we have to retroactively rename the old xbox.

According to them, they named it One because:

All the entertainment you love. All in one place.

From the biggest blockbuster games to the most popular TV shows to the best
of the Web, Xbox One does it all. But this is just the beginning. Thanks to the
power of the cloud, Xbox One will keep getting better, with more games,
TV, movies, music, and apps launching all the time.

That's so retro it hurts.

Looks awesome to me. Definitely picking it up.

Yeah I like the look of it, and if enough people buy them then blu-ray might become even more standard than it already is. I feel like there is a fairly large group of people who would watch blu rays but don't want to bother with buying a player or a ps3. Now both ps3/4 peeps and xbox gamers will have blu ray to work with. Also games. On 50GB disks. With full asset quality. (Of course hypothetical) Yes please.

HDMI passthrough is something I wasn't expecting, and a really cool feature. Given I use my monitor for pc and consoles it should make life a little easier if I ever choose to get one... which I probably won't.
The controller looks like they changed the design just to change the design. Besides for the new d-pad it has the same functionality :S
8 core cpu ohh god its true it runs on bulldozer my power bill is going to be like $9999999999

Question, could Sony have stopped microsoft from using blu-ray if they wanted to? I haven't been following blu-ray since it came out, don't know if its exclusively their call or not.
