Giant-sized Xbox One takes over Vancouver parking lot

Youbetternot

Damn Canadians with the huge xbone in a parking lot. I kinda want to go to vancouver and take a picture of that, but that will take a 8 hour flight.

 

 

Some stuff said

Joseph Volpe: "It's Xbone-ntially bigger than the 360."
Jon Fingas: "We grow 'em big up North."
Richard Lawler: "We figured if we can't make it smaller, then maybe the Xbox One Kaiju Edition would help sales in Japan."
Timothy J. Seppala: "I'm gonna need a bigger A/V rack."
Mariella Moon: "Who knew Goliath was an early adopter?
John Colucci: "I double as a stage, dance on me!"
Nicole Lee: "Man, I knew Microsoft wanted to take over the living room, but the parking lot too?"
Ben Gilbert: "Just wait until you see the power brick!"
Edgar Alvarez: "Xbox One: King Kong Edition"

Bigger is always better, right Microsoft? In the lead-up to the Xbox One's launch, Microsoft's hype-making marketing machine's gone a bit mental and planted a larger-than-life Xbox One replica in a Vancouver, Canada parking lot. Why? Well, it's mostly to generate social buzz and secure your launch day dollars (be they Canadian or American, next month), but also because this is "the biggest launch in Xbox history." Get it now? This humongous Xbox One isn't just for show, either: gamers that pledge their gamertags online at Microsoft's One Source site, in-person at the stunt console or on Xbox Live will work towards unlocking rewards like a free Xbox One console and other special "experiences."

I think the Xbox One looks good. (Please don't hurt me)

I thought I did from pictures and such but I saw it in person last weekend at a Microsoft store and changed my mind. It just looks clunky and big to me now.

I actually agree. It looks better then my £40 PC case. Still it's weak as hell when it comes to performance. Both of the console are.

This is just like textures on a console, they look bad when they're small, at a distance and they look really terrible up close. Tbh I do think it looks better then than the ps4 with those straighter lines and they have managed to learn from their mistakes and fit a large fan so it shouldn't sound like the haidryer which is the x360.

Meh, a mITX PC would still destroy an Xbox one of that size.

 

EDIT: (the above is clearly a joke)

Dammit Microsoft! We don't want your shit console!

Lol I remember when they called the Xbox One a "first-class experience". Yeah f*cking right!

I personally don't enjoy 9-string guitars, but that doesn't change the fact that they look awesome as hell!
