That was the point of the design.  That it blend into the living room. 

Again, if people read the article rather than pick it apart, they'll realize the whole goal was for the Xbox One to essentially be invisible.  The Xbox One's design is understated, almost to the point of excess.

Compare that to the PS4 and it's colored lights.

But I don't want my console to blend into my living room.

I want people to walk in and be like "Good Lord what the fuck is that? o.O"

I do have to admit the little lightly glowing white Xbox Logo on the new Kinect is pretty cool. It also seems like one of those reverse mold face sculptures that moves when you move.

I usually hate the little stupid LED's they think they have to put on everything these days.  But this one is so subtle it looks nice.  I didn't know it was adjusting depending on the room, but that's probably why it doesn't bother me.  Good job.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

The design is cool and isn't ginormous still all. It feels and looks like its been well put together. About the person who designed it tho. I could care less just glad whoever settled on the design.
