controllers are still run replacement better shit man I thought next-gen will be changed

[JonnyBeoulve]

I prefer this way. When the lithium ion battery is built into the controller like PlayStation, then when the battery hits end of life you have to replace the entire controller. With Xbox you can either put in new batteries or an Xbox controller battery.

I ended up spending way more money this past generation on PlayStation controllers because of this. With my Xbox controllers I just ended up buying two Xbox controller batteries at $20 each.

You guys really shouldn’t defend that bullshit. Buying batteries all the time sucks and you know it

@MetalProxy:

Didn't you know there are rechargable AA batteries? Built in batteries are a pest.

[annoyedgamer]

There is a thing called rechargeable batteries.

@MetalProxy
Guess you missed the part where the extra ps5 controller doesn't look too include the charging cord. What's your thoughts about that?

[porkChop]

I like using rechargeable batteries on my XBO controller. I can swap to a new pair in just a few seconds and have full battery. Don't need to be plugged into my PC to recharge.

Gotta give it to Microsoft for the nice box the series x comes in. Makes it look very premium.

[crazyCoconuts]

yea, HUGE improvement from the launch Xbox One packaging. They have PS5 beat in terms of the packaging this time around imo

[NeoGamer232]

Ya, the inside the box print and the way you open the box like a treasure chest is really cool. Best box opening of a console I have seen to date.

LOL. Nothing to do with the hardware, games, and services, but very cool opening!

[crazyCoconuts]

PSVR packaging was high end as well, with a lot of thought around helping users through the cables.

[Gr1mmyshadows]

The wait is almost over!! Premium packaging too.

[Rocosaurus]

Cool packaging!

[Smitty2020]

i do like the box

[nickanasty206]

Excited, but extremely disappointed with the material they used on the case for series X (not the box, that looks great!). I hear its a fingerprint magnet. Obviously not that big of a deal, but for some reason, to me its annoying like a dead pixel on a monitor LOL. I know, i know, it will be in a cabinet so i won't be seeing it much anyhow. Still very excited for my Series X.

[darthv72]

How can it be a fingerprint magnet... its matte. If it were glossy then sure but matte, not so much. Maybe if you have lots of oils in your skin or greasy fingers.

[RaidenBlack]

Its matte but attracts smudges a lot quicker. Noticed that in almost every hands-on video.

[alb1899]

Yes it is. I have seen a lot in the unboxing and previews. It doesn't matter much to me because I won't touch mine once it sit where it belongs.

[nickanasty206]

Check the videos of it my friend. You will see what we are talking about.

[Father__Merrin]

All xbox consoles have had excellent packaging

[Abnor_Mal]

The Xbox Series Fridge was a better unboxing.

[TheOtherMoon]

A clean looking machine. Super excited.
