I hope they sorted out the fan noise this time round... but that design is giving me doubts.

My biggest peeve with this design is it really looks bulky and plasticky. A console for me should be portable enough to lag around in my carry-on luggage when I travel.

The disc drives are fantastic for watching 4K blu-ray movies.

Also excited about the accessories.

Who said there must be internet let alone a high speed one? Just get a jail-broken one with several installed games.
The latest consoles are very hard to jailbreak, console manufacturers have upped their game, also the punishment for jailbreaking is very harsh, the benefits of jailbreaking are no longer as enticing as they used to be. Getting lifetime bans, bricking your expensive console, downloading malware...e.t.c it isn't worth it.

Another winner here is the introduction of the SSD, the timing is very good as ssd technology has matured, the price is not ideal but the advantages of ssd's for gaming are clear. Gaming in general follows a read heavy data access pattern, once the game is downloaded and written to disc most of the operations are just game files being read, apart from save game files being written of course, ssd are not very good at heavy writes because they degrade faster but they shine when it comes to reads, this sounds like a perfect match for consoles, let's see how the reviews turn out.

SSD degrades?? How exactly?? I mean from a layman's point of view you can't expect an original SSD to malfunction any time soon
