These images of the new Xbox Series X literally show off another side of the console.

Courtesy of Twitter user Mr. Keema (via TechRadar), who saw the console on display at the Xperion e-arena in Cologne, Germany. It is interesting to see the console from all angles, since until now the Series X could only be seen from some angles.

On the front of the vertical cubic chassis is a disk drive opening, a USB-A port, and what looks like a few small buttons or status LEDs. This is the aspect of the Xbox Series X we've seen the most of, so no surprises so far.

The back of the console, which is badged "Prototype - not for sale," has a number of connectors for power, audio and video, and two USB-A ports on the back. While two on the back is a bit inconvenient, it should be sufficient for most users.

The right panel of the console has four rubber feet, one on each corner. The ability to position the console vertically or horizontally seems like an obvious feature, but we have not seen the Series X in a horizontal position in any of the product photos. Those with small shelves under their TVs will be overjoyed.

Since Xbox has not released official dimensions, we cannot get a good impression of the Series X's total size; it is well known that the PS5 is a huge gaming console, but it is hard to judge the Series X here.

Hopefully, more details will be revealed at another Xbox launch event in the coming weeks. At least according to rumors, PlayStation has one more event scheduled before the end of August, and we wouldn't be surprised if Xbox has similar plans.

However, the new console will not go on sale until November, and the Xbox Series X is expected to be priced lower than the regular PS5. There are also rumors that a lower-priced PS5 Digital Edition without a BluRay drive will be available, and on the Xbox side, an entry-level Xbox Series S model will be released.
