The photos don't really do any justice. When I saw it next to the launch unit in the Microsoft store it's really much smaller in person.

White or anything glossy is literally the devil.

Can somebody out there please just put this thing next to a PS4 and take a photo? That's what everyone wants to see.

The team behind Surface made this?
it's not bad. Your opinion isn't the only valid one. stop being so obtuse, as it's grating as all hell.

What pisses me off is having to wait until I have the new console before Microsoft will ship the adapter for Kinect. I'd pay if I could have it launch day, because my wife uses the voice commands. Kids love it too.

Been a while since I've owned an OG Xbox, but I remember it being bigger than the launch 'bone. Could be wrong though.
So I haven't really been keeping up with this revision but why does it not look as small as that one comparison image that appeared when the S was announced?
Or was that just a fake mockup?
Lmfao
Oh wow, I missed it, that's great.
You have a faulty power supply. The fan should not be running in instant on.
Alternately it is easy to open the power supply and remove the fan as it is not needed at all. The Xbox One draws like 100W in the most demanding games. That shit needs no active cooling.
nice looking console but

Really nice looking console. Big improvement on the old one.
No real reason for me to buy it though.

Would never buy when Scorpio is on the horizon. Already have a One. Would get this in a second if I didn't.

Wait am I seeing this right? The Xbox One S only has one USB port???
Also does it have an external power brick?

It has 3 USB 3.0 ports like the original One. Only difference is they moved the side USB port to the front of the console, the other 2 USB ports are in the back like the original One.

There is no power brick anymore, hell it was one of the most raved improvement of the S. The PSU is internal.

Nope. Internal.
No it's just huge
Are you sure ?
I had 2 xbox ones and all hat a running fan while in instant on.
Same on the xbox of a friend of mine.
Maybe they changed it with later models ?
Not quite, original Xbox isn't as wide or deep as the Xbox One but the brute has depth. Original Xbox console was bursting with powah!

But at first glance they are definitely in the same ballpark.
That issue seems to be pretty common and I'm concerned as well, however from what I saw the sticks on the new controller is "improved" to "last longer" whatever that means.

So the new Xbox uses Bluetooth, does that mean that the new pad won't work with the windows 10 wireless adapter? Also will my Elite pad work on the S?
new controller has bluetooth and the other thing
Xenoflare

All XB1 controllers would work. IIRC when it connects to the xbox the new controller still uses the 2.4Ghz, if your PC supports bluetooth the new controller would work without any adapters.
If the elite pad doesn't work with the 1s there should have been a riot already
That is not even going to be visible 99% of the time due to the fact that you will see it at an angle and not shine a light on it. It's really only an issue in photos taken from a more perpendicular angle.
does a game have to add support for it? I thought HDR was just a system level thing?

Yeah.
I got bored. Can't find any size for the new S yet...
Xbox - 320 × 100 × 260 mm
Xbox One - 343 x 80 x 263 mm
Xbox 360 - 309 x 83 x 258 mm
Xbox 360 Slim - 270 x 75 x 264 mm
Xbox One S - ????
