They did the same thing with the 360 infact didnt the 360 have propriety connections too?

Nah, SATA to a connector thing, basically an L connector.

Can take it apart and replace with another xbox hard drive (as long as it's formatted right).

I took my 60GB out the case and put it into my xbox 360 S, don't even need a converter for that (though you might want a caddy).

nice vcr ,jvc or aiwa? sorry im trolling have a nice day dont mean any disrespect just an auwfull joke that m$ had it comming cheers

At least the thing doesn't wobble when you press on a corner.

Btw... have you bothered to look at both consoles head on, like you'd see them in your living room? They don't look much different.

And to be honest, the last thing I would want is some flashy looking console disturbing the good looks of my Harman Kardon AVR 3700 receiver. Components should blend in, and not distract especially in a completely dark room watching a movie.

lastly, i don't have a dog in this hunt and don't plan on buying either since neither console has the power to play ALL their games at 1080p without heavily sacrificing LOD and texture quality like the PS4 version of Battlefield 4. God it looks like hell.

The wobble of course being an immense issue. After all, when buying a new console how can a person possibly stop themselves from sitting next to the thing and prodding it? The PS4's prodding performance is a disgrace!
