So this thread is just wrong?

I must admit, I very rarely use the power button on my console, but it is kind of needed for the first turn on of the console...

According to Ledbetter, Microsoft's internal design hardware team for Xbox 360 was two people, while now that group has 27 people to work on details like creating a functional venting design on the right side of the console and creating consistency between the box, the controller, Kinect, the power brick, the retail packaging and the on-screen menus. Each was designed with simplicity in mind, such as how much of the new Kinect's technology is now hidden behind a panel in front.

So I guess this confirms that the XBO has an external power brick....

That's pretty daft but they probably use the controller to turn it on or off

It's sad what qualifies as news to some lately... Anything to bash the X1. Especially considering it's false.

They released pictures of the mainboard - since then it was clear it'd be external (this is known since ~ 3 weeks).
