https://wccftech.com/xbox-series-x-unboxing/ > The Xbox Series X is a thick boy. In a drastic shift from the newly unveiled Xbox Series S that Dave Aubrey recently unboxed for Wccftech Plays, Microsoft's most powerful console to date adopts a more substantial footprint on your shelf. However, despite how robust the Xbox Series X may look up close, it's surprisingly compact in its form factor. Coming in at roughly 6 x 6 x 12 inches, the next generation gaming platform is merely taller than previous Xbox One hardware and barely deeper than a standard Blu-ray case. You might need to account for the additional headroom but thankfully none of the airflow ports on the Xbox Series X are blocked in either standing orientation. > The Xbox Series X, after being removed from its packaging cocoon, is ready for display on your shelf or entertainment center. With the standing base pre-attached, it can be displayed in either a horizontal or vertical orientation without any effort. On the front of the console, you'll see one of three USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports on the console as well as the pairing button for additional remotes and controllers. Embedded within the pairing button is the IR sensor that will allow owners to continue using their Logitech Harmony or other remotes with the Xbox Series X.
