Support NeoGAF

[Albert Penello]

because some console revisions don't do the same things as the one before it
also, i said it was a stupid question

Not a dumb question, but no it's 5400. In this case the benefits did not outweigh the costs. An external HDD is still, overall, the best for load times.

Is it using SATA II?

since you are here can you answer this?

do the new controllers use a different or more durable material for the LB RB buttons the one piece plastic assembly in current controller breaks rather easily i have replaced my Lunar and my elite LB RB several times. i felt different in the microsoft store and i see the top cover is different any input you could share.

Question: Does the HDMI-in able to accept and properly pass a 4k source (from a TiVo Bolt, for example) or is the HDMI-in limited to 1080p?

 

[Colbert]

Very cool

If you interested thats a link to such a report I was talking about: https://www.engadget.com/2016/04/20/vlc-media-player-is-coming-to-xbox-one/

more like proof that if you like white equipment you're a phycho

 

[family_guy]

Wow, ok so I will still be using my 4k function when not streaming or using the UHD player. Definitely a plus!

Your TV would be doing that anyway.

Screenshot taken when the system is set to 4K are stored in 1080p.



It'll upscale all content (including games) to 4K if you want it.
The store I bought mine at only received 2 units.

Seems to be a bit smoothed or blurred on the 4K shot if you zoom in, especially on some areas with aliasing.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

When do we expect the first reviews and those reviews inspecting the inner hardware?

It will be interesting. VERY interesting.

 

[iMax]

Is the OS running in 4K?

 

[pswii60]

That black section makes its size (probably intentionally) very deceptive.

Indeed it's a clever design, I think I looks great. Almost regret cancelling my preorder now but I think I'm still going to hold out until Scorpio before jumping back in to Xbox.

Not surprised. They are going to sell a ton of these.

I find it worrying that no one commented on this yet. The OS looked quite blurry blown up to a large 4K TV.

Yes, it runs at 4k, or at least it looks like it, really csharp and risp.

 

[rcl66]

Any word if there will be movies to rent/purchase from the store on the x-box and stream?

Quick question :

I have a Xbox One Elite with a USB HDD for games and i have also a 4K TV but no HDR.

Should i upgrade to the Xbox One S ? I really love the design

Thanks in advance

You can still watch UHD Blu-rays with your TV so it might still be worth it. I'd wait for some performance tests before upgrading, though.

Yes if you care about watching UHD media right now (your choices are somewhat limited right now but improving by the month).

Only if you really care about UHD though.

 

[mrklaw]

Secret built in mic for cortana voice commands would be nice. Or selling a separate S styled USB mic would be fine too.

Also HDMI-CEC, and bit streaming of HD audio

 

[Tall Paul]

Agh..really hoping we get uk dates for the 500GB & 1TB this week, had mine on pre order for a while and teetering on the edge of going 2TB because of early newness...that's a thing right!?

 

[Hawk269]

A little disappointed about the internal 5400 hdd. This is a limited edition launch version, should of had at least a ssHD like the Elite console did.

 

[Ocelott]

Does the Xbox One support 21:9 for the OS... Not worried about the games because I know they don't

 

[Zimmy68]

Did you mean lossless? The answer is the same: NOPE.

Yep, sorry, I will fix it.

It actually does support lossy formats, like a champ, just like it was 2005. Too bad it is 2016.

This is the reason you bought your 4k tv. I would say yes.

 

[Ascenion]

Alrighty I'm prepared for the One S. I just dropped more than I expected on this TV, but I'm pretty sure it will meet my needs. It's being delivered tomorrow afternoon in time for my Xbox One S.

I've heard early September being bandied around from talking to various people.

If by white you mean silver, yeah, perhaps.

Using American Pyscho as an example of when black and white furniture can look good is the exact reason I said I am not a big fan. Shit just seems so 80's to me. Then again I was alive then to know this, so that could also play a factor in things.

Back OT, I am actually getting a little nervous reading all of these stock issues. I technically did not preorder but was told I would get one. Hope it winds up being true.

[naitosan]

Just pre ordered 500gb model with Halo bundle. Couldn't resist, this thing is sexy.

I'm wondering if you can set XB1 to display 4k, then downscale to 1080p on 1080p TV?

 

[CosmicQueso]

I'm wondering if you can set XB1 to display 4k, then downscale to 1080p on 1080p TV?

What.

You want to take an image upscaled from 1080 to 4k, then have it downscaled back to 1080?

At the EB I work in here in Australia we were told late August. Approx 20th.

Probably not. I don't think a 1080p TV can accept a 4k signal.

 

[naitosan]

What.

You want to take an image upscaled from 1080 to 4k, then have it downscaled back to 1080?

No, I mean for 4k source like UHD blu-ray playback or Netflix. Probably doesn't make much difference. I'm just curious.

Downsampling only works if you natively render your frames in a higher resolution like 4K. The Xbox One S is just upscalig from 1080p (and below) to 4K, so there isn't any downsampling effect there. In fact I believe it would make the frame quality worse!

There are going to be different bundles announced in September.

We’ll have more to share about 500GB and 1TB Xbox One S bundles in additional markets next month.
