For including a UHD BR player, the price is actually quite reasonable, right?
Xbox One S: 40% smaller, 2TB, 4K for movies/tv, internal PSU, $300
- Thread starter wachie
- Start date
You can go to Best Buy and buy the only one they have for $400. So yeah.
Lol, guess I'm waiting then

Great opening price for new Xbone owners.
Wonder what the trade promotions will be for trading in the Original Bone for this one.

Four hundo? Seems like a lot. I think I'll try to take advantage of the play anywhere thing and play those exclusive games on the PC I need to build. I'd rather drop that money into a graphics card. I do need to get some sort of media player for my TV though to replace the now ancient 360. Maybe this can fit the bill.
;-)
Don't buy the 2TB model and it isn't $400

The 500 GB model is $400 in Canada.
Yesssssss.
Gonna pre-order soon.
God dammit Canada get a new currency symbol.
So really it isn't a deal at all here in Canada at all.

Damn, this is a game changer. I seriously might forget the Scorpio and get one of these as a slightly cheaper way into 4K movie viewing.

You need an adapter. Available free if you are upgrading and already have an Xbox One and a Kinect.

So the pricing is $299 for 500GB, $349 for 1TB and $399 for 2TB
Smart pricing by them.

I'll buy the $300 model right away. Will probably only use it for a handful of stuff that doesn't get ported to pc.
Explain to me why this matters? 95% of people have this on a shelf with the power brick hiding behind something near the plug.

Most expensive sku is out first haha
Off topic but DR4 isn't exclusive is it?
it's always more expensive.

the old x360 base model was about $250 at that point.
You mean DR4? and yes. Just like DR3 was.

It's so weird...I want the console itself but there's little-to-nothing on the Xbox One that I actually want to play.
Maybe I should just dig my Xbox 360 out of the closet to try to satiate myself.

My entertainment center sticks out as much as surge protectors width; No room means my power brick sits awkwardly hidden beside my xbox. It's not very noticeable but still a minor annoyance. Any extra space is welcome, seems pretty obvious the benefits to me. A lot of us here prefer clean setups so the less cables and shelf space used the better.
Strongly urge you to seek out Neogaf or Kotakus Best Xbox One games, or even a Yotube search, before saying that because PS4 and X1 have some remarkable games to play. My personal X1 collection of must-own games is a few dozen strong, not including digital such as Ori and the Blind Forest.
I don't see the point of the middle box, if the sole difference is the drives.

Still want one, I'll look to trade my Bone for it, then trade the S for a PS.

Output aside I don't think so or they'd have mentioned it outright.
Weird. I wonder why they were talking about the HDR functionality of it during the Horizon 3 demo if that wasn't the case.

They have it for preorder on Amazon, but only the $399 one. Unless I cannot find it.
When are they going to put up the $299 one? It is a clever clever move, however, to capitalize on the hype and get people to buy the more expensive one.

This is what I did with my 360, when the 360s came out.

HDR is part of the new HDMI specs for 4k content. The Xbox One S has the new HDMI specs, so it can do it. The standard Xbox one does not, so it cannot.
Thats really it.
if you wait a few months I bet you'll find a £199 deal when games like Gears and Forza come out.
Where did you get the UK pricing from?
Plus wait till October/November there will be some good deals

I'm not doubting that the Xbox One is full of great games, but there's very few that I'm personally interested in.

£249 - 500GB
£299 - 1TB
£349 - 2TB (limited)
Outputting HDR is not trivial and requires new HDMI hardware. But it can be done at any resolution, including the current 1080p standard. So the new HDMI chip might allow up to 4k/HDR but it can also show Horizon 3 in 1080p/HDR. The color space and the resolution can vary independently.
It's a 'thing' for some gamers for some it's about not having "wires showing".
I'm holding out on this until I know it runs quietly. I liked having the brick as it meant the OG X1 made no noises.
I still can't get over that the Xbox One S isn't available now.
Or that Microsoft announced its replacement is coming 18 months from now.
This is not how you do things. Announce the Xbox One S the day it is available, then keep your mouth shut about new products that are still 18 months away.
