They have flip up, and unless they sort the used game thing then I won't be buying one..
I love the fact people keep bringing up aesthetics when in reality the units are hidden away. Plus you don't have people going into your lounge proclaiming how awesome your console looks. lol!

The issue relating to DRM can be fixed though if they do desire. I would imagine they'll listen to public opinion.

I personally like the look of it, I would have preferred the disk drive to be more hidden away (especially as its sounds like its hardly going to be needed/used) but apart from that it looks ok to me.

So whens going to be a good time to sell the old consoles?!

That's not going to happen, not with the x86
The only way you will be able to do that is if they do what Sony have done using cloud

I don't get this, to make consoles backward compatible it takes resources and space in the box up, would you rather they made the new console better or sacrifice abit so you can play generation old games on the new box, keep your 360!

besides I'm sure they will go down the cloud route

Another one who doesn't care what it looks like. Or tbh, how big it is. Used games things is annoying, but you'd hope (however incredibly unlikely) that if preowned games are no more, that like steam, there will be epic deals

Not fussed about BC either, if I haven't played a game its for a reason, and I have no intention going back to shelved games either. Waste of time and resources

What resources and space are you on about? The hardware that runs the One would quite happily run a 360 game. PC's don't have multiple sets of hardware for all the different console emulators knocking about.
They could happily make it backwards compatible without much effort but as someone else said in this thread somewhere who gives a sh-t really? People just don't tend to go backwards on anything.
I'm a firm believer in nostalgia and rose tinted specs when it comes to old games.

I still play the Amiga emulator. Some of the playability of those games will never be beat!

I can't see why you think that the original 60gb ps3 looks crap, I can't think of a single console that's looks better

I don't look at consoles and think wow that looks awesome. :lol:

The PS3 fat looks like a George Foreman grill as I said, the PS2 slim looks aesthetically better and so did the Dreamcast for that matter.
