Yes 46%
no 8%
Too early for that 46%

As we approach E3 2015, do you expect MS announcing Xbox One Slim? To me, I never had a problem with the size, I think it's okay and sure, it ain't sexy as PS4 design but I like the size, I just think it's a waste of time for a Slim version. What are your thought?

I personally don't think so, I like how it looks. (I got the limited white Xbox ^.^) I mean, they could always make a slimmer model to save money if they need too. But I don't think they need to rush to make a new design, they actually run cool and quiet, etc.

Hell yes, it's far too big and I don't really have room for another thing that looks like a vcr.

Yes this time an Xbox one slim, would be a good thing for Microsoft to do. The Xbox one is the largest of the 8th gen consoles. It large even by Xbox standards. The Xbox one is even heavier then the Fabled PlayStation 3 60Gigger by 1 once. The infamous George Foreman grill PS3. Is replaced by the Hulking Huge VCR like Xbox one. Which was created by Microsoft in order to avoid the Dreaded RROD.

So Microsoft needs to release a smaller Slimline Xbox one in order to have a more modern image for it's 8th gen console. Eventually Sony will have a PS4 slim. So MS has no choice but to release a Xbox one Slim. Since the early 1980's VCR look is somewhat hurting the Xbox brand. Even in "Merica" where bigger is better.

Eventually, but not yet I don't think... I think they'll release one next year.

I like the Xbox One because it is pretty much whisper quiet, and you'd expect it to be considering how large it is and the amount of fans it has. But I think a lot of potential customers would welcome a slim model in the future.

@nikkycat: Haha that, or you could just turn up the volume on the TV, or slap on a pair of headphones like I used to do with the last generation systems.

@BattleSpectre: Don't get me wrong, Turtle Beachs and the official Xbox headphones for XB1 are good ( and I got the PlayStation Gold Wireless for my PS4.) But you see, I'm a lazy girl. Very lazy. and sometimes I just don't want to deal with it xD

@nikkycat: Haha of course, I understand what you meant =]. I just wanted to take some shots at the last generation of consoles, I used to think it was acceptable - the amount of sound they produced whilst running. Until I recently turned on one of mine and was shocked at just how loud it was.

@hrt_rulz01: Mine doesn't get too bad, but when its really working, its louder then the XB1 for sure. Louder then the PS3 ever got, no as bad as my Xbox 360 Slim. But compared to the XB1 which is whisper quiet, you can hear the PS4 for sure

I can back that up, same thing with my PS4 too. It never gets as loud as the 360/PS3 did but you can definitely hear it more than you can the Xbox One.

I hear dead people.

I'm always thankful for console sounds that cover over their voices.
