Xbox One S: 40% smaller, 2TB, 4K for movies/tv, internal PSU, $300

I think they are using the media coded functions in the ARM rather than using the "game mode hardware". This is happening in the "other" os and not the game os.
So is the 2TB console referenced in this pic referring the S? $449 seems mighty steep to me.
No.

Games have to create the image in real time, a video doesn't. Plus the XB1 APU is much better hardware than what you find in a regular 4K TV / disc player
Besides, maybe they have increased the specs a bit for multimedia purposes only.
It's Edmonton and Amsterdam
Uh what?

It actually needs to be less than that, in my opinion. The slim needs to be better than the vanilla PS4 and significantly cheaper at the same time, to get people to buy. Now, it can;t beat the PS4 in brute TFP terms, but a bigger memory and 4k will be advantages. i can see a chunk PS4 owners sinking into a xbone slim as a 2nd console rather than simply going for a Neo that only plays the same games they can already play, but a bit better.
That said, the slim would need to be cheaper than the rumoured price.

wasn't sure of the design at first but have to admit i think i like it better than the PS4. shame i can't justify buying it though. maybe if Microsoft announce some cool exclusives during E3 i'll pick one up.

For those that are more technical than me, can anyone provide any context to this post?
It is taken from another topic discussing that the PS4 and Xbox One (current versions) are both 'capable' of outputting in 4K.
My questions is: Can the HDR and 4K output be updated on the existing box? Or does it need a Hardware upgrade to have the same as what this 'new' box brings to the table?

Nobody can provide context to what Jeff posts.
They are capable of outputting 4K, but only up to 30fps due to bandwidth limitations. The only way to output 4K 60fps is to have HDMI2 which is a physical new port.

The black crush when using the full RGB range comes from a incorrect gamma curve. Both 16-235 and 0-255 range use 8 bits per colour.
I don't have sufficient knowledge of graphical processing to explain how the 10 bits per colour for HDR will be handled in the framebuffer -> output.

But we already had so many posts saying how ridiculous it is that the "S" version is not slim and still bigger than the premium technical masterpiece the PS4 is.
Skipped most of the thread because of the sheer size so sorry if this has been addressed, but how are people determining the dimensions? By knowing the dimensions of the controller?
that, or the usb ports.
Going by how some of the current Xbox One official deals are ending right on June 14th, 2016...I suppose June 14th, 2016 indeed.

That "technical masterpiece" makes the noise of a vacuum cleaner, unlike the Xbox One I can't fit it inside my TV stand because of heat. I really hope that silence is still a priority for Xbox One S and Scorpio
According to this thread, several people have a completely silent PS4, even with dust, and present there systems as representative. If it is loud, just clean your PS4 and everything is fine. PS4 is fine. And a beast. And silent.
See?

My "technical masterpiece" doesn't sound like a vacuum cleaner and has no problem with heat. Maybe you just have a defective unit.

I would guess that price will start at $299 for a 500GB console, and $399 or so for the 2tb version.
They would probably sell the base model at a loss, and make a profit off of the version with a bigger HD.

This doesn't appear to be 40% smaller.
Where is the source for this leaked image???
How would you measure the 40%?

Reminds me of "Maybe your sharing chip is broken" when video recording was broken for over a year.
Is anyone else going to acknowledge that tom called it Edmonton and Amsterdam, what is he talking about?

Less than you'd expect but not as much as you'd hope it would be.

There is a third dimension...

i think you're going a bit too far there. no way does it sound like a vacuum cleaner. the xbox one is quieter than the PS4 for sure but i wouldn't say the PS4 is loud. if your PS4 is really loud then you need to clean it out or get it replaced. i can't stand to use my PS3/360 anymore because of the noise they make. the ps4 in comparison is super quiet.
Ok thanks

40% by volume. Think in three dimensions.

Christ you're on edge today. If you have actual signs that point to widespread issues with loud PS4's then go right ahead and share them.
There's hyperbole flying around on both sides, let's fucking cut it out. There's plenty of dB comparisons out there and while the XB1 is definitely quieter, it's really a non-issue for the most part.

Yeah it's like people forget how much quieter both consoles are than last gen. My PS4 is not silent under load, but it's certainly not a vacuum cleaner. No way near.

Sounds like a sensible price.

I'll get one if it's just as quiet as the current box. I like the white.
Good price.
"If you have actual signs that point to non widespread issues with loud PS4's then go right ahead and share them."
The thing is, we don't know. So there is no need to assume it's not widespread as it is not safe to assume it is widespread. Also I am only paraphrasing users, why are you even bothered?
Saw that just now. Pretty damn good price. I'll definitely eventually get one now then, since it's likely to go even cheaper down the line. Maybe.

Still bigger than regular PS4, even slightly?
