Microsoft has given us the official unveiling of the Xbox Project Scarlett, their next gen console. It’s set for launch Holiday 2020, and will be “4x” faster than the Xbox One. Will utilize the power of the cloud. Phil Spencer claims that it will have 120hz support and up to 8K resolution. Halo Infinite will be a launch title.

good thing i'm not one of those filthy x-boners. sony and nintendo for me however im am grateful we got banjo in smash bros.
For the longest time I've been called Foxi4Sony on the site for my relentless fanboyism, however after owning both the Xbox One S and the Xbox One X I can safely say that they're both very well-made. The build quality far surpasses that of the PS4, PS4 Slim and the PS4 Pro, which came to me as a surprise after the blunder of the original Xbox One which was a tad flimsy. In fact, I would argue that they're both sturdier than most consoles in recent history - the plastic is great, the layout of the boards is sensible and the system's feel very solid. Microsoft certainly knows how to competently put together a console now, so I'm actually quite excited for Scarlett.

only thing the xbone has that's good is the online servers. the xbone is only for the obese fps players that play nothing but *redacted* Halo and Beers of Boar (aka pointless shooter games that are joint as pointless as that cancer known as call of duty)

Does anyone know if it will allow for upgrades for the built in SSD? I googled it and can't find anything giving a solid answer. I know you can have usb 3 hard drives plugged in, but I would prefer to have the option to upgrade the internal SSD.

Your link is listing half-truths. The WHO did order a test battery to check if frequencies in the 0-300GHz spectrum are harmful to health in any way, that much is correct. "Environmental Health" forgets to mention that the results were negative - no negative health effects were found.

https://www.who.int/peh-emf/research/en/

The difference between holding a controller and sticking your head in a microwave is fairly obvious - about 800W of a difference. Apples and oranges.

You also don't seem to understand how a microwave works either - the principle is that whatever you cook in it is hit with strong microwave emissions, which excites the water molecules within the meal. The increased movement of those molecules is what creates the heat, not the radiation - it's not a nuclear reactor. "The frequency" doesn't matter, although it was picked specifically because it is safe.


https://www.who.int/peh-emf/publications/facts/info_microwaves/en/

If you were blasted with 800-1000W of energy in any form, you would feel it too.

So yeah, stop believing and propagating bunk science. Don't expect the world to adhere to your silly requirements.

I will give you an amazing tip though, because I am generous. The antennas on both the PS4 and the Xbox One are removable - unclip them and your problem is solved. WiFi follows the inverse square law, the increased distance with no antenna to direct the signal will dissipate it into nothing. Next, buy a USB controller with no wireless capabilities whatsoever - they're cheap. Problem solved, you're no longer "holding a microwave". You're still wrong, but I wish you well.

The problem isn't gone with a removed antenna. Radio signals are still being transmitted. You guys are hilarious. Peer-reviewed research showing damage to sperm and countless other damage to plants and animals....all ignored.

As stated earlier, people still take up smoking in 2019. Smoking was debated for decades...despite the research.

I enjoyed how you told me what makes my food heat up, even though I made no mention of it at all. It's as if you were wanting to show the world how smart you are. Especially with that 'inverse square law' statement. Oh how intelligent of you. Except the problem isn't 'gone'. Bluetooth needs to be turned off completely and can't be by normal users.

Money talks. Not asking anyone to change (despite what you said). It's fine if you want to be sterile or damaged in other ways. People still smoke. Some live to be 100 with no problem. Just giving my opinion on the sad state of gaming and millions of kids and adults being damaged worldwide without their knowledge or consent.

They are holding microwave transmitters close and sometimes for long hours and their schools are radiating them too. How many microwaves are on 24/7?

Feel free to ignore the evidence just as the masses did (and still do) with smoking, GMOs and countless other poisons.

I'd rather play wired.

Science is not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of empirical data. There are no "countless peer reviewed studies", there are none, zero, zilch, no *credible* evidence at all. If you *really* don't want to hold a Bluetooth controller, buy USB ones - both the PlayStation and the Xbox One give you the option to. The wired controllers have no wireless transmitters, they should satisfy your bizarre requirements. In fact, the PS4 even gives you an option to switch stock version 2 controllers to USB Mode and completely disable all wireless functionality - it's in the settings. To be fair though, seeing that you're also afraid of GMO and "countless other poisons", I don't think it's the "radiation" that's the problem here. The reason why I explained how a microwave works isn't because I "wanted to look smart", it's because the amount of energy transferred is important. 1W of energy has less potential to do damage than a 1000W of energy, for obvious reasons. Having an emission of a certain frequency isn't enough if there is no significant amount of power behind it. It's similar with electricity, actually. There is electrical charge in your body at all times, and it changes over the course of the day. Just wearing a sweater versus not wearing a sweater can charge you up with static electricity. Does that kill you? No, it doesn't. How about a lightning strike, will that kill you? Yeah, that's a bit of a different story, isn't it? Like I said, I wish you well, even if you are demonstrably wrong. Everyone needs to believe in something, I suppose.
