It's designed to be peeled off immediately, so there's barely any residue. Would probably be "stickier" the longer you leave it though. Pretty ridiculous to buy a white console that looks as nice as the Xbox S and then leave the black warning sticker on it.

I realized that it had that lip that you're supposed to use to peel when I posted that. It was too late, though.
I won't disagree. I think I'll keep it, though. It's been on there for two months.
Isopropyl alcohol should take care of any residue.
How awesome would it be of the xbox light turned vertical/horizontal depending on the orientation of the console.
I keep mine vertical because i dont have a lot of space on top of my tv stand.

Maybe because it isn't going to make a big difference

People leaving that sticker on their S consoles are like someone who bought a Ferrari and puts a tribal vinyl kit on it.

True. I'd be too afraid to use that, though.
lol, I think that's a bit much. It's not that big of a deal and you hardly notice it.

It's like putting a used condom back in its wrapper and keeping it just in case

It's NOTHING like that, lol.
Ehh...I guess. To some more than others, though. I hardly notice it when I look, but I'm usually about 10 feet away on my bed and can only see the TV anyways.

Think about all that dust that will be trapped on the very-slightly exposed sticky part of the sticker's frame, Chewie.
All that dust collecting there over and over and over, unnecessarily dirtying your console.

I was in the same boat but I preordered one the day they announced the UHD player which I had wanted since I got the TV but wasn't about to pay $400 for. After selling my CoD AW Xbone it only cost me $100 to upgrade and I doubled my on board memory. Since I already have a good gaming PC I have no interest in Scorpio. I am happy with my purchase
Yeah but don't you go nuts over microscopic scuffs that can't be seen unless your face is 5cm away from the console?

The best way to get rid of any leftover sticker adhesive is to use the peeled-off sticker itself. What I mean by this is if you repeatedly apply and remove a still-tacky part of the peeled-off sticker onto the sticky residue bits on the console, the remaining residue bits should come off the console quite cleanly.
In general, I personally avoid using any cleaners or adhesive removers on plastics if at all possible because you never know if some sort of chemical reaction that ruins cosmetic finishes may take place.

I agree with the white console but on the original Xbox One the sticker isn't really popping into your eyes as the console is black. So mine is still on the box ...
Folks with 4K HDR TVs, question.
Does the Xbox One S play 4k HDR mp4 files?
My TV is coming in tomorrow, but it has very limited playback via usb, my comp isn't HDR capable yet, and I won't have a PS4 Pro till the 10th, was wondering if I could hook up the xbox one s to the tv and view those HDR sample videos via that.

My 1TB Xbox One (non-S) constantly crashes while I play games. It works fine otherwise. It is only 4 months old. Should I contact Microsoft, or is there something I'm doing wrong? Is this a known issue?

It really bothers me the Xbox logo is sideways, wish you could turn it.

How's the UHD player? I've Googled but keep seeing different things. Good enough to use as a primary player?
Yes it is. Right now it's still missing several audio output options, but those are confirmed to get patched in.
Just redeem the code and it will either automatically start downloading or will be in your 'ready to install' list under 'my games and apps'
Edit - just to add, i'm not sure if you get the code in the box with the bundle or not, but if not you should get a message from XBL after d/loading Gears 4 with the code. It can sometimes take a few days though
Enjoy your console : )
You'll get 2 messages from Xbox Live, may take a day or something (in my case)
To answer my own question, no it cannot. And the TV doesn't do HDR via the usb port (which basically automatically plays one file when inserted and then that's it, no browsing options, so weird).
I'm really hoping now that the PS4 Media Player gets an update on the 10th which allows the Pro to play these files. Just like how on October 13th they came out with an update allowing 360 videos to be played on the PSVR headset.
Black Friday is probably going to have a great deal. I would suggest waiting.
AFAIK it'll pass through 4k just fine.

I don't have a recording but if it's the clicky sound that you are bothered with then it's normal.
I'm more worried about dust build up since it faces up.
Could you post some pics when your set up, haven't seen any good pictures other than PR shots.
I'm not that bothered by the fan noise. But I think the blu ray drive makes more noise than the fan.

Yeah I just have the clicky noise from the hard drive, my fan is pretty much silent though or at least comparable to the OG. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRMjFbINUcc

This has probably been answered many times in the thread, so apologies if so.
Can I just hook up my external HDD that is hooked up to my current XB1 to a new XB1S and all of my games and apps will be available without having to download them again?

I had no problems doing that.
Yes, you can do that no problem. I did that and all the games were available to play, but I copied the games I wanted to the XB1S internal drive as I'm keeping my launch XB1 for the basement so the external drive went back down there after I copied the games across.
Do you sit close to your console? Like on a computer desk, beside your monitor close? Do you have an PS4/previous Xbox One to compare it too?

So will the console automatically detect my HDR 4KTV when I hook it up or do I have to play with some settings? I'm getting the KS8000 in the next two weeks so just curious of the system's set up.
