Random: Would The Xbox Series S Look Even Better In Black?

Looks way better. Also just doing it all white wouldn't have been bad.its just a big black dot on a white background....it's just naturally drawing you're eyes to the blemish.

I do prefer the black design over the white, The black one actually looks pretty sick..

Looks so much better in All Black...

Still would buy the Series X though!!

Black version might come once people learn that Series X and Series S are different consoles. Same thing happens every time.

Looks terrific, much better in black!

So beautiful in black 🤤

The black is nice but I get why they did the white. They needed to give these consoles some sort of difference for the untrained shopper. Two black consoles would have been a pain for parents, no matter the size difference.

@RedShirtRod I agree. It also matches what they did with Xbox One S and X so I think it's the best choice for now. Black wouldn't have been a good idea.

If i can find a use case for one of these in my house, I'll likely just spray-paint the thing, either all black or all white.

Although i almost feel now that i said spray-paint, that a gears logo could work nicely on this thing...

It looks way better in black if you make the vent green.

I hated the white PS5, and I will wait for a black one to be released but that is screaming top of its voice "Look at me, Look at me" The S is small neat and discrete. Given all that I would be happy to have one out under my TV. I won't have, I'll have a SX but visually with it being so small and neat I quite like the white.

Aw man, that black console looks nice, and it comes with a Backwards Controller, AW YEAH!

@BlueOcean @RedShirtRod That's a good point. The colour makes it very clear which is which. "Hey mum, I want a XBox for Xmas, the black one not the white one" Works perfectly. Easier than trying to get your granny to remember stats that make no sense to her.

Looks much smarter in all black but aside from the size difference, it’s the black and white colours which separates both models of the X and S. It’s already confusing enough with them sounding the same, having both the same colour would be a nightmare for parents who aren’t clued up on anything Xbox related buying it as a gift. Imagine a kid wanted a Series X but the parents mistakenly bought the Series S with a few physical games? I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens.

@TooBarFoo "The S is small neat and discrete. " Even if it wasnt, we just can be sure there will be a healthy market for skins just as there is right now for One X and One S.

The ones I seen for One S, though, leave a huge un-skinned area for the vent, so... will have to see what people come up with.

@MaccaMUFC I keep seeing this comment but I dont think a mistake like that would be very frequent. Kids nowadays are smart, informed, and very specific about what they want from my experience. A couple years ago my nephew asked for a PS4 Slim and he made sure to tell me to get a 1TB model instead of the 500 GB so he could have more games, he was 6 at the time. Point being im sure there will be mixups but I dont see it being a common problem. Adults can keep straight iPhone XR, XS, XS Max, XR pro etc etc, I'm sure the can figure out a few different Xbox models.

@Tharsman Air flow looks good, I think its a single 140mm fan pulling air in from the side out of the top. I'm going to presume that its a well designed low profile cooler under there. Looks to me like it's made to quietly cool more than the rumoured 4TFOP of FP32. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess this little pup will push as high as 6 to 7 tflops.

@redd214

I completely agree with your point. I think people getting confused is overblown. If people can figure out which version of a phone they want these days, then how hard is it to figure out the difference between a couple consoles?

I like the black version better. The white one with the black circle looks a lot like the speakers my cousin owns.

I'm with black, but if they're smart, they'll give the players more of a choice on color for release. I don't see that happening thanks to the worlds issues.

Black looks better, though I'd struggle with that left handed controller.

@TooBarFoo Exactly. Besides, although I'm getting the Series X, I think that the S design has a lot of personality. It's nice and quite small so the two-colours scheme looks smart.

It looks really good in black.

Black looks sooooo much better...

White doesn't work for consoles, I don't like the PS5 either.

I awlays liked white consoles (my Xbox One X and my PS4 pro are white models), so I'll go with the official on this one.

Still, I really dig the pure black of the Series X design.

Black would look better without the green overspray

Just me that wants to see a version of it white with a white circle? Think it would still look a lot better than the white & black circle

Black looks the best especially with the green,when I first seen the white s I thought it was an audio speaker,I was instantly turned off and thought no way in heck would I buy that
