Aprreciate it. Debating on getting one lol. I'd trade my OG in for it if I did.....
Mine does but I don't think that's normal. I don't think it was normal on the OG XB1 either.

Is there a way to move pins to the top? I was going to buy the Xbox One Media Remote, but there doesn't appear to be a way to jump to pins. I know it's the right trigger on the controller.
When it's active (ie. downloading/updating) then mine makes a very slight sound, but it is much quieter than my launch day Xbox One was, or than the power brick at least since that is where most of the sound came from.
You saves are on the cloud automatically if you play online, your games can be stored on an external HDD if you don't use one already. You'd just have to launch every game on your new system so it'll go back to redownload your save and auto-update when in standby (if you use instant on).
Then you'd "only" lose your games. You'll have to redownload/reinstall everything back, but you'll get your saves back once you start them on your new console.
The media remote is a bit pointless when various apps use controllers buttons such as Y to access important functions.
Huge oversight

Just bought one of these last week and I do like it as a machine, I can't seem to find a suspend/rest mode just full shut down, does it have one?
When you first set it up you had the option for instant-on or energy saving mode.
If you chose instant on then it will always suspend/resume when you turn it off.
(Unless you go to th power settings and choose full shuttdown)

S is my first system, but as for downloads it was hitting 60-80mbps of my 150 mbps connection.

My white Xbox One S with Battlefield 1 was just delivered. My old Xbone's optical drive has been really flaky for awhile (sometimes it won't read any disc) so I bought the S via MS's Black Friday Sale. All of my games are installed on my external drive so I assume that all I have to do is set up my new console and then "format/factory reset" the old one afterwards to get rid of my info on it. Is that all?
Also, I picked Far Cry Primal as my free game from the MS Store (choices were slim as heck) but I never got my FC Primal code. I guess I'll wait a day or two then contact MS about the game.

I did the same thing from the Microsoft Store. My Far Cry Primal is physical and was shipped separately. One will arrive tonight, the other tomorrow.
I haven't gotten the $25 gift code though.
Set up the Xbox One S today, and when I try to set the display to 4K UHD, it gives me an error message ("That didn't work")
Under 4K details, everything is checked. Under Advanced Video Settings, "Allow 4K" is also checked.
It's just that under TV resolution it says 1080p. Is this how it should be when on the main hub screen?

Looks like I got a bad Xbox One S. 
It restarts itself every minute or so whether its the green "XBox One" screen or if I manage to get into the setup menu. <sigh> Hopefully the MS Store returns are easy to deal with. Guess I'll call in the morning.

It might be worth investing in a portable HDD. You can play games from it so it makes going from one X1 to another as simple as plug and play. It's nice for when you own more than one X1.
So it seems I can't use the Amazon certified HDMI cable on the Xbox One S for 4K display, and have to instead use the official HDMI cable included with the console.
That's pretty disappointing: I wanted to use the 15 foot cable so that it would loop nicely around my TV shelf. If I have to use the official, shorter cable, then I'll have to have an ugly loop around the front of my shelf.

sounds like an issue with your 15ft cable. I got a standard 4k 12 ft cable for mine. Worked like a charm
Is it this same brand?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014I8T0YQ/?tag=neogaf0e-20
I could request an exchange if it should be working. It's not the end of the world if I have to use the default XB1 cable, but I did get the 15 foot one for this express purpose.
Edit: Requested a replacement. Amazon's not even requesting the original cable, so good on them.
Got the codes two weeks after I activated the Gears4 code (via xbl message). So you may have to wait. I also bought the gearsbundle.

Why what's the difference, the S is my first One?

The S controller is actually very good and the bumpers and triggers are amazing, they feel so satisfying to use, especially in shooters. The textured grip also is a very nice touch. I love the Xbox One controller, it's almost perfection in terms of grip and overall feel when playing.
The only difference is that the first Xbox One controllers have the tip of the bumpers only working and the bumpers are more clicky, which is a negative if you ask.
I like the improvement that Microsoft have made to the S controller.
I agree, I was actually a little sad to hand the new one over to the GF as "her" controller since I have the Elite as mine.

A lot of the S fans are noisy like this. It's a valid reason to exchange if it bothers you but I don't think it will actually hurt anything. You're just as likely to get another ticking fan if you exchange, though. It's a crapshoot.
My Xbox One has a bit of fuzziness on the picture when playing videos, especially Netflix but sometimes Bluray too.
It also sometimes says 'no disc inserted' on Blurays and needs 2-3 attempts to play.
It's fine with games.
Is it faulty? Or is it a picture setting or app problem?
I feel like I shouldn't exchange it unless absolutely necessary since I got such a great deal on it with Amazon.

I have this sometimes, but it has recently calmed down and I now just hear a fairly quiet whir/hum.

Does anyone know if this will upscale regular blu-rays?
Dr. Zoidberg

I'm pretty sure it upscales everything. The TV never reports anything but 4K UHD input while I'm using the 1s for movies or games.
Not true. It plays blurays at native resolution. So blurays are played at 1080p unless they're 4k, then it's 2160p.
My TV reports 1080p output and then I can see the Xbox switch to 2160p when I go back to the home menus.
All games output at 2160p and are upscaled
Dr. Zoidberg

Thank you for the clarification.

Bluray upscaling to 4K will evidentially come at a later date.

Yeah, I had this problem with a couple of controllers which came with my S consoles. This was after like 5 days max and the issue noticeably worsened. Shoddy to say the least.
Had this with 3 XB1 S consoles and returned them all as this noise becomes grating very quickly. Especially as it's likely to get worse with time rather than better.
I returned all 3 machines and ended up with an OG elite 1tb sshd console. The package is top draw, wonderful quality. The machine itself is so quiet, I love it. My external USB 3 Hdd is louder than the console. Hell, the powerbrick is louder than the console.
Plus, the elite controller certainly doesn't have sticky button issues, so double win.

I couldn't find anywhere this question has been asked, but I have seen a few digital foundry videos showing the occasional improved framerates on Xbox one games played on the One S. Has it improved the framerate on any of the BC 360 games as well, or XB1 games only? Just curious..
There are some minor BC improvements.

Can I ask what is the 4K Bluray playback like on the Xbox One S?
I am not the best person to comment as I don't buy Blurays very often (I own 6) but I thought Star Trek and Mad Max looked great. Atmos support is coming soon if you have that as well as upscaling of 1080p Blurays.
It's great. I haven't had any issues with it if that's what you're asking. I've watched The Martian and Ninja Turtles on it in 4k HDR. I have a Samsung js8000.

Very good, watched Mad Max the other night and it looked great.
Only thing I could hold against it is the fact it's probably slightly louder (fan and disc drive) than a standalone player, I noticed the noise occasionally during quiet scenes.

So far liking my new S. Still wish it was black to better blend in with my other entertainment center gear. The smaller size is incredibly noticeable though. My Kinect adapter was shipped within 24 hours and should arrive next week (because I can't have an Xbox experience without a power brick). Much quicker than it sounded like was happening recently. Now off to sell my original Xbox One. Still wish they would have kept the Kinect port on the back.
How long should it take for Microsoft to send the $25 gift card from the Black Friday day sale? I also keep looking at my Xbox Rewards account for the 50,000 credits but I don't expect that for another two weeks.
Oh yes, believe me I understand I'm in the extreme minority here preferring the original mode's bumpers over the S' version. I'm happy for others that view it as an improvement.
