Xbox One S: 40% smaller, 2TB, 4K for movies/tv, internal PSU, $300

If you only have a 1080p tv, would I see a difference using UHD Blu-rays or just 4K tvs only??
If your 1080p TV supports HDR then it will look much better than 1080p and better than 4K without HDR. However, TV makers have only added HDR support to 4K sets generally speaking so...

One things for certain, I wont be getting the old XBO version no matter how cheap it is.. Damn thats smaller.
 
Why would it not come with a controller? Do people believe anything these days? My god.

Like they're going to sell you a $300 box and no way to control the damn thing. lol
 
$299 for a 500GB cost-reduced machine is normal, not amazing - this should be significantly cheaper for MS to manufacturer than the original console which was already $299. And that image of the S on top of an original makes it look a lot less small than the opening visuals on the MS keynote. That made it look tiny.


Any news on whether it has a kinect microphone built into the console? I'd love to be able to ditch my kinect but I really like the voice control
 
2TB XBOS @ $399 coming first sometime in August.
1TB version @ $349 and 500GB @ $299 "arriving thereafter"

So many SKU's for the same box, when you can just make a removable HDD.

At least you can use an External.

No controller then the bait & switch on the price too? Sorry but they made it seem like it was $299 in August WITH a controller. What the hell is going on lmao

It includes the controller. The info was wrong.
 
I couldn't see the words at the end of the extra colorful controller ad - the video backed out too far. Are those ones you customize and order?

UHD Blu-ray at that price is not normal at all.
 
Pretty ugly marketing idea there. 299 for 500gb and no controller. All the excitement gone. How are you going to offer that in hopes of taking over some PS4 players? It's 369 or more with controller then and 500gb, blah.
 
I like the design of it. It looks a lot like the slim PS2, but bigger.

The only thing I would be worried about is dust accumulation.
Not sure if the left side or the top is the intake, but if the top is the intake,
its taking like half of the surface of the top side which is huge.
And you can't really disassemble consoles to clean the dust inside without voiding your warranty.

Wish consoles would at least give you some way to clean the inside...
