I'm curious by the square cut on the back and also they have beaten down this prototype a lot, how can they in a couple weeks or moths tear it so much?

You seem to have a hard time with reading comprehension.

Let me quote myself:

He's right though, while you seem under the impression is just more of the same mathematical operations but with thousands of times more instructions per second. We do know very well how quantum computers work and what they are capable of doing, it's just a matter of scalability and reliability. But even if you could scale it to millions of qubits there's still thousands of operations that won't benefit at all. Of course, you might argue that one could find a way to make use of the hardware to execute these instructions more efficiently but the same applies the other way around. It even made the news a while ago, when a student created an algorithm capable of doing what only quantum computers were though able to do.

Either way, I don't want to derail the thread, it's just that you seemed exceedingly passive-agressive for some reason. JRPGFan isn't to blame if your parents are divorcing or something.

OT - I wonder if that design is final. That bulge at the bottom makes me think that even if laying the console sideways is a feasible position, as Spencer claimed, it wasn't really designed with that in mind at all.

Looks cheap and nasty, plastic can be premium you know.

It's a dev kit, not a retail product. Do you think that the PS5 dev kit looks premium?

It is a prototype not a devkit from what is on the OP.

Yes and with the XBO the devkits basically were the same as the final model. It wouldn't surprise me if this is what the final retail machine will look like, and in my opinion it looks fine.

For me the only issue is how many scratches are in the unit, seems like the people that handled it didn't took much care, the looks itself I'm perfectly fine (and sure if it was gloss I would prefer, but not a deal breaker). Some people in Brazil joked that in the reveal it looked like a drinking fountain.

I prefer the Matte finish myself, doesn't show up fingerprints and feels better to me. The original Glossy PS3 controllers were nasty imo.

And yeah the pictures aren't great, not sure if it's scratches just likes like a lot of dust and hairs on it to me. Not been kept in a clean place at all. xD

@bolded: Rich of you to say I was passive-agressive and then act in that manner in turn. 👌

As for the rest, no. If a parallel can be done with our current understand of quantum computing, we would be close to the beginning of the digital era in the 50s or right after it.

I never mentioned PS5, irrelevant. Why the redirection, your feelings hurt?

I hear rumours that this will be able to run Windows 10 and boot up in PC mode. If this is true I'm interested in the console (I have always had Macs).

This also consolidates the shape of the console in my mind, as I know would be treating it like a PC tower. Plugging it into a monitor on a desk would not be a problem for me.

I highly doubt it, but that would make it a day one purchase for me.

At the very least I would like to see Xbox capable of running Windows games in some curated fashion. Theoretically that would allow them to sell countless PC games on Xbox.

It's dust. But yeah, it looks fine fine and matte is definitely better in the long run because of what others have been mentioning. It's just not as eye catching, though, not even as the XONE is, in a way.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
