I'm not sure if this is news or not. So melt this thread if it's old or stupid.

This will probably just filter to the back part of the forum for no one to read but oh well.

We just got our X1 demo in store, only...it's not a demo, it's a cut in half fake xbox 1 with a media player running it, the screen is playing X1 games obviously.

The games coordinator was expecting an actual REAL X1, only he was told that it overheats in the display case so we got this instead, needless to say I'm kinda disappointed that I don't get to try out next gen :(

The weird part is the displays we get for 360 and PS3 are pretty similar to this and they were not worried about overheating.

Why the hell couldn't they just make the glass bigger or add vents or some shit.

Instead we got. "Here have half a fake X1 running visuals from the PC version."

:'(

tagging for tomorrow, i know thisl be good

I guess consoles overheat in glass boxes.

thats fine... the thing that is really weird is.. half a Xone?

What do you know? : / I know some will be eating crow.

Missleading thread title. No xbox's were overheating. Pretty hard to overheat an empty plastic case.

A fake xbone, running videos of the much superior PC version of games ?

Sounds familiar.

Is this really news. Did we not go through this same thing with the PS4. Glass cases without any real ventilation probably not the best environment for these consoles.

Lol!

Was thinking the same thing. People will just conveniently forget for a chance to mock someone over the internet anyway.
