40% by volume not counting the original power brick in that reduction?

But probably doesn't sound like a jet engine.
Unrealistic, considering there's a 4K Blu-Ray drive in that thing.
Because these passive-aggressive non-posts of yours that imply that all PS4 sound like a vacuum cleaner only incites more nonsense posts from both sides.
Let's close this book.
The right move. That's the only way this isn't DOA.

I have no idea! Until we get official dimensions I'll assume the box including internal PSU is 40% smaller than OG Xbox One.
Salt levels are rising as the Conferences creep closer and closer.

What do you mean 4K blu-ray drive, its just 4K streaming (Netflix etc) is it not?
$299 for a Xbox One with a 2TB drive and 4K streaming seems good to me. I expect Sony to announce the PS4 is now $299 at their conference.

Looks very nice, a large leap over the original design IMO.
Shame it ended up being leaked though, based on some disappointed responses I've seen.

I agree. £199 or equivalent is a "why not" price for those feeling flush at any given time. £249 just feels like an "investment".
Apparently it reads 4K blu-ray. It's a system seller for me, I'd be tempter to buy two, even!

I don't know, the PS4 is rather large in the third dimension. In fact it's the largest console I own in that dimension.
It's all a matter of trade-offs. Which dimension do you increase and which one do you decrease.
Oh, definitely.

Thanks, finding it hard to keep up with threads during E3
Has an UHD BD drive. "Starting at $299" - "Up to 2TB" - make your own mind
Good to know thanks.
The first 4K blu-ray console on the market would be a good move by MS.

Some people really don't understand the price of stuff. £199 for this with an UHD player? lol

If that's the case, that's a #gamechanger.

Yeah, it moves so fast. Imagine the pace tonight, when the actual conference starts. Also, agreed, I think a large reason of the PS3s succes was due to being the first affordable blu-ray player.
If MS can copy that, I can see them moving a lot of consoles.

You'll get a free game + $50 gift card and like it.
$50 between the 1TB and 2TB?

Yeah I bought my PS3 in large part as it was an affordable blu-ray player. If MS have the only 4K blu-ray player until the Neo they could really move some hardware among 4K TV owners.
I think he was referring to you.
Anyway, I don't expect this thing to be quieter. It's very likely to be louder.
I don't think they are going to be putting a >400$ unit on shelves. 2TB drives aren't that expensive.
Naaaaah. Don't have a problem with that.

If the only difference is HDD size surely the only move here is to go for the $299 model. Assuming external drives are still supported.
Caayn

Yeah most likely these will be the prices that we're going to hear tonight.
Although I'd rather see the 2TB sku end up with the $299 price tag just so the 500GB sku (if it exists) ends up being cheaper. I'd just plug in more external drives whenever I need more storage.

Disc tray still bigger than the PS4s, right?

Don't take this the wrong way, but is Microsoft wanting us to be most excited for ehat is ultimately a media upgrade? What happened to "all about the games"? Isn't this the same mentality that hurt them the first time around?
I mean, insiders prove me wrong, but there's nothing in this HW update to actually improve the gaming experience, right?
So we're getting all excited for 4K streaming and a UHD BD drive...for movies?
Bundled Elite versions, aka Halo 5, I suspect.

I think I should add that 1 or 2 SKUs are releasing later than the other 1 or 2 SKUs for unknown reasons.
The prices most people guess here, are correct.*
Oh and only one SKU includes the vertical stand
*things may change in the last minute.

I'm talking about the different size option SKUs. I have no idea about game bundles.
If my memory isn't failing me, the 360 S was available the same day MS announced it on E3, if not, no more than a week later.
I will expect the same here.

This need to be $249.00 to make a impact.
Yeah - didn't Microsoft originally offer the 1TB versions with game-specific limited console bundles? I'm thinking COD:AW, Halo 5 were 1TB versions when standalone 1TB consoles weren't offered.
Or maybe just a manufacturing thing.
Fixed.

40% smaller could be linear but also in terms of volume. Something that is 1/2 the size in linear dimensions is 1/4 in area and 1/8 in volume. Provided the shape is the same, a 40% reduction in volume is only 16% smaller in linear dimensions.
Working back from that and assuming 40% is accurate the comparisons seem fairly close, it also indicates that the S model is further swept back like the PS4.

Microsoft did the same with Xbox 360 S. 250GB in june, 4GB in august.
Ok, so do you know the specs of what's in these systems. Why delay two skus? Is it that one does not have a uhd player?
I don't know the reasons for the delay. The rest of the system is the same across the SKUs. I don't know what chip is inside if you wanted to know that.
