I'm getting my Series S this week and I have a half a mind to just leave it in the packaging until a JB comes out. I don't plan on playing any AAA games on it, just emulation, and if we're really lucky some kind of Linux distro will come out eventually. I want to keep it on it's launch firmware if possible, but I wanted to hear if you all have an other ideas. Is it possible to enable dev mode and leave the machine unpatched? Can you sideload apps offline?
Hardware People getting their pre-orders soon, what's your plan for ensuring it can hopefully be JB'd?

Since the One has not seen any useful hack since it's release I'd say your chances are very slim.
They've learned since the 360.
See:

Also I'm very much a 'hopeful' homebrew guy but Microsoft has proven with the One that it will be a very long wait. In other words: I would not really bother unless you'd keep it in storage and buy a second unit for actual use.

Ahh, maybe I'll just leave it Dev Mode and hope for some awesome homebrew. I'm very new to this scene, I haven't owned a console in ages. The size of the XSS is what drew me in as it would make a totally awesome portal emulation machine. Thanks for the info!
I think DEV mode is the best thing for the Xbox, because it allows homebrew without people hacking the entire system for piracy. It's a win/win for Microsoft.
Dev mode is great but there are no many ports and games there i think there much potential with power of Series X and hopefully more Devs going to release cool ports and games there with new generation.
Is there a list or repo for Dev Mode apps? I know Retroarch and PPSSP are available, but is there anything else out there?

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
