UHD Blu-ray's great.

Not sure how they got from this

to this.

 

[Theonik]

wait so it upscales to 4k? so it renders sub 1080p to 4k .... whats the point of this console again?

If you have a 4K TV you can have the xbox upscale. It's probably not as good as the TV.

But you get a drop in replacement for the current Xbone. Selected games should output in HDR as well which will be a big quality bump for people with TVs that support it. UHD media too.

 

[Markitron]

They have not actually said said it has an ultra had drive in it, I get the impression it might be 4k streaming only.

Yes they did

You can't see how much space was taken off the depth in the first pic.

This can't be right????

lol

Maybe it's a comparison of the X1, length-wise, vs X1S, width-wise!

 

[KeyboardThug]

only color white?

 

[pitchfork]

Gimme a custom Gears 4 bundle please MS

I think marketing confused 40% smaller with 40% the size of.

 

[Kazooie]

This can't be right????

Phil Spencer has said all models come with a controller and he is doing an unboxing later.

 

[watership]

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.

The Scorpio is not a replacement for Xbox One S. It's going to be considered a different tier that will play the same games. It will also be much more expensive. There will be many who won't want to spend that much.

£249 - 500GB
£299 - 1TB
£349 - 2TB (limited)

That's a real decent starter price, and I'm sure retailers will have some super competitive deals, too. Looking good. lol.

 

[mrklaw]

Yeah but I was hoping for a mic built into the machine so I can tell the xbox to change channels without needing the Kinect sensor or a mic on my head.

Same. And with cortana having more options like checking weather etc, it'd be handy to have the mic built in. I currently have Kinect but it is big and ugly

 

[Stinkles]

This can't be right????

It's poorly worded if you're not a lawyer, but it means the controller CAN be purchased separately.

The console comes WITH the controller.

 

[Shin-Ra]

You can't see how much space was taken off the depth in the first pic.

You can see how the width comparison's misleading in the wireframe pic.

 

[Pjsprojects]

This slim version streams 4k content but only has a normal bluray player,yes?

 

[Bsigg12]

This can't be right????

It's not

The Xbox One S comes with a newly designed Xbox Wireless Controller featuring textured grip for enhanced comfort. We improved the Xbox Wireless signal performance to give you a more reliable wireless connection to the console and up to twice the wireless range when used with Xbox One S.

UHD Bluray support. Feel free to read the press release on that site I linked.

 

[BFIB]

UHD for Blu-Ray I believe, so it'll play 4K Blu Ray.

 

[Lupin the Third]

UHD Blu-ray's great.

Not sure how they got from this

to this.

I think the renderer misunderstood the "40%" and thought it meant 2/5 the size instead of 3/5 the size of the X1..

 

[LyleLanley]

Same. And with cortana having more options like checking weather etc, it'd be handy to have the mic built in. I currently have Kinect but it is big and ugly

I'm glad I'm not alone. Hopefully they come out with some small multi-directional mic.

 

[anothertech]

interesting they revealed none of this at e3 conference, or did I miss that?

probably for the best, as the $400 price point would have been a huge downer.

People in the market for a cheaper console shrink aren't the same people in the market for a brand new expensive console.

Potential Scorpio buyers likely already have an Xbox one so I doubt XB1 sales would even be that affected

 

[Chitown B]

Why is the IR blaster a big deal, just remote control and not relying on wireless/Bluetooth or something else?

universal remote for TV.

 

[cakely]

I think the renderer misunderstood the "40%" and thought it meant 2/5 the size instead of 4/5 the size of the X1..

And hey, it was an honest mistake, no need to correct it before showing it to everyone on the internet.

 

[Guevara]

That makes sense. The second image is clearly wrong.

Cheapest one is $299

 

[finalflame]

I'm gonna buy this so fucking hard. So. Fucking. Hard.

 

[JP]

They should have done the same thing that they're doing with the controllers and let you pick your own colours. I know the controller options are far too limited at the moment but I'm sure there are peopel who are interested.

 

[Chitown B]

It's poorly worded if you're not a lawyer, but it means the controller CAN be purchased separately.

The console comes WITH the controller.

From the conference I got the vibe that with the Scorpio, it might be able to handle split screen Halo 5..... thoughts?

 

[EvB]

That makes sense. The second image is clearly wrong.

That wasn't an image, it was part of an animation to show the machine shrinking in size.
Exaggerated for effect.

 

[golem]

Preordered. Gotta ditch this samsung 4k bluray player before it arrives

 

[Lupin the Third]

And hey, it was an honest mistake, no need to correct it before showing it to everyone on the internet.

Ha! Yeah, it's a silly and misleading oversight.

Also not sure why the XOne S marketing says "Starting at $299" when the only model available when it debuts in August is the $399 one. That's also a bit misleading.

 

[Pjsprojects]

Can you please read the OP

I have thanks,I'm just not clear on the format of disk it plays. 4k bluray disks are rare but to my knowledge can only be played on true 4k players.
True 4k bluray players seem expensive.

 

[jet1911]

So the S will be the cheapest UHD player on the market when it's out?

 

[finalflame]

I have thanks,I'm just not clear on the format of disk it plays. 4k bluray disks are rare but to my knowledge can only be played on true 4k players.
True 4k bluray players seem expensive.

The only one on the market right now is $399.

This is huge for people with 4K TVs wanting to get into UHD BR. It'll be the de-facto device.

 

[cireza]

This can't be right????

Yes, it obviously can't be right.

 

[MCD]

Two questions before I buy this:

How different is the new constroller in terms of buttons? Improvements?

Is the internal Power Supply universal volatge? 120 to 240 volt? Can't pre-order from Amazon US without knowing this first.

 

[anothertech]

Cheapest one is $299

Yes, but with a 'later' sticker on it.

So $400 is what they are hoping to sell it at this holiday.

They should all be releasing at the same time

 

[Mixolydian]

I thought their wording in the conference was fine, but 4K drive confirmed.

 

[wachie]

Looks very nice. Renders don't do it justice.

Ok that's a great price! insta purchase. Thanks.

 

[mrklaw]

Ooh it does still have HDMI pass through and the IR repeater socket. Nice

 

[Caayn]

Only having the 2TB model available at launch is a major bummer.

Should give credit to the creators of the video where that picture was taken from.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsE5U7ta9Lw

 

[Lupin the Third]

BTW, even though the Kinect port is missing, you will be able to get a USB adaptor for it from MS, allegedly available for free to existing X1 owners upgrading.

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

I hate the bulky VCR look that is the Xbox One.

But this revision is very, very nice.

It's not PS2/PS2 slim/GB Micro/ good - but it's a massive upgrade. Definitely better looking than the PS4 or WiiU.
