Hmm, we might be seeing a white Xbox One arrive in October, and perhaps, just perhaps, a price cut right before then.

X1 and PS4 both totally underpowered for todays games and those coming in the next 5 years. What about 4K TV???? Why can't I stream movies from my DLNA home server to X1? Thing is a joke, I'm pissed. So many features missing for a so-called multimedia machine. Not even close. They want you to subscribe to all of their services and spend tons of money. Not happening, I rent movies and rip them to digital files... have like 3,000 HD movies. Why the hell can't X1 handle this task?????

Sorry the XB1 wont help you with streaming your pirated moviesBut it also won't help me stream the stuff I've shot myself, encoded and ripped from my private collection as a space saving measure, and files i've downloaded LEGALLY from one vendor or another... not really seeing anything to get me away from my ps3 and tversity, especially with a new gaming/design rig

Also, when you're only rendering in 1080p, it requires much less system power.
Also, when you're trying to meet a price target and still make a profit, power and price have to be balanced. For $400, you essentially get a fairly powerful computer that can play games. Try and buy a PC anywhere close to that with more power.

I HATE white!!! I would much rather have silver or a brushed aluminum color. But, I won't be buying until XBox 1 finally upgrades and finally does what they should've done in the first place. I agree, brushed aluminum would look really nice, but it would also drive the cost back up. If they did a special edition in brushed aluminum, I bed it would be back up to a $500 price tag, but it better have a controller to match, if it could be made without being able to get dented easily.

I like the white one. Matches my Dreamcast better, especially with the white controller.
If they do drop price and/or include the right freebies, I just might pick one up eventually.

Dented easily? They wouldn't use real aluminum. A limited production run of real brushed aluminum models would be expensive as heck. It would be better to have a limited edition with faux brushed aluminum or maybe a darker steel look.
