Oh dear, we've got some unfortunate news to share if you happen to be a supporter of important warning stickers on your Xbox consoles. According to Head of Xbox Phil Spencer, there won't be any HDMI stickers - like the one featured here - on the front of the Xbox Series X when it's released.
Phil seemingly confirmed this in response to a recent tweet by Windows Central journalist Jez Corden. Here's the full exchange:
This is definitely a big loss for "team sticker" - a group of current-generation Xbox One users who don't remove the safety warning sticker from the front of their consoles. Some even think this even proves Phil is on #TeamNoSticker.
Do you like to keep the stickers on your Xbox or take them off? How do you feel about this latest news - will you be able to cope? Tell us down below.

I honestly can't recall seeing one on my Project Scorpio but if there was one, it would definitely of been removed - just like any sticker on the front of the Series X.
Its much more environmentally friendly to not put these stickers on the front. Whilst they may not be big, they certainly add up over millions of consoles and I bet the vast majority remove them and throw them away...
I removed my sticker as soon as I took the console out of the box. But I’ve probably seen more consoles with the sticker left on than with the stickers removed, which is really strange to me.

I don't take them off, but I am not part of some anti-sticker-removal movement or anything. The only thing I remove is any packaging film from the console - I leave everything else intact.
Lol I didn't even know it was a thing that people chose to leave their sticker on.
I left mine on in case something went wrong with the console and I needed to return it and I guess I just never took it off!
I didn't even notice the HDMI part either, just the disc warning which I think is a brilliant warning considering I picked up my friends x360 to admire it (first time I'd seen one) while he was playing it only for him to freak out. I questioned it, considering I used to do all sorts of tipping on my PlayStation to play the one import game I had only for him to remove his copy of gears of war with a freshly etched ring around the center of the surface. I took him to the local video rental store to have it resurfaced for a pound.
That sticker looks ridiculous on the XSX. I’m glad it won’t be on there.
We can take those stickers off?!...
I’ve always been team no sticker and joked about friends consoles with the sticker still on before it became a thing.... that said it’s a shame we won’t be getting one this time, it was part of the unboxing. Haha
I think we'll live without the sticker.
No stickers! No stickers covering screws ethier.
I never had one on my One X. I should remember because I opened it this morning, thought it was odd but I always take it off.
Not a fan of the stickers because they do come off nice but always leave a little residue where you peeled from.
Wow, I thought there was an information drought on the Nintendo side of things, but here on the XBox side we're down to arguing about stickers while we wait.
Paper Mario: Sticker Star HD for XBox confirmed?
