I feel like buying one and suing for false advertising. I would definitely win. People have won cases with far less.

that would be so disgustingly petty.

There is a very big difference between being 40% less in volume to being 40% less in each dimension, which would give you 78,4% smaller in volume... So yep I would say is quite possible X1 is indeed 40% smaller (considering kinect and power brick that would be a no brainer), but certainly that picture is completely misleading... so have MS exaggerated or is misleading us with the E3 picture?

I don't think they could include Kinect because it's still a peripheral than you can buy with the Slim. Including the kinect would suggest that kinect is inbuilt into the Slim console.

Well, you could also buy a power supply or nobreak =p ... and if they can put 40% reduction unidimensional, why wouldn't they imply that it's smaller than launch edition Xbox (that did include Kinect)? If they want to mislead, they can do it in a lot of ways.

lol you're right. Why did I even question they wouldn't do that?

I remember when I saw that at the press conference, and it said "40% smaller" good misleading advertising there...
Also, does it only have one usb port, or are there more on the back?

2 in the back. one in the front.. USB ports.

Well they put the IR blaster in the slim while removing the Kinect port. I guess that was the only thing worth salvaging :)

There is so much subtext in your post it could be a novel. Why would it be petty? Provide some context.

Just 40% less in volume is really little, considering the OG XBone is already a beast of a console in size. Thiis gen's consoles are huge, except for the WiiU, which sends the size excess to the controller. XD

How is the PS4 "huge"? You probably never had a fat ps2 or fat ps3. The og PS4 isn't much bigger than them, in fact og PS4's volume is about the same as the slim PS3. It took MS 3 years to make a console as small as PS4.
