Some sets also don't have good local dimming and in those cases HDR just blows out the image and looks bad. I expect we get a lot of people saying HDR sucks because their TVs are crap.

I like it, looks like a radio lol
Will probably be the same.
Unless they upclocked the CPU a little bit to support HDR, but I kind of doubt it.
Scorpio will bring a significant boost for sure!

Hope the design team make Scorpio as nice as this

It's a huge improvement visually over the OG Xbone in Every possible way.

Looks really nice. Well done, Microsoft.

Need to get one of those controllers for PC.
Panos is on it. I trust him.
I get the impression that much like the OG XB1 fan vent, you only see the circular opening when you're looking directly at it, and it fades when viewing it at an angle.

Will someone please put it next to a ps4
I don´t have a photo on hand but PS4 is still smaller than the Xbox One S
But not by that much. Maybe 1 cm | 1/2 inch in every direction.

This thread says smaller in two dimensions, bigger in one. The volume size still has to be compared.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing. I looked online at BB and the trade value was only $105. I may trade my jet-engine PS4 as well since it's $175. If I just go with the 500gb model, since I already have another 500 gig ssd I also use, I'll basically be getting the thing for "free".
Question: Does the BB gcu extra 10% apply to hardware trades as well because that might pay that extra little bit off.
anything's more silent than the PS4 lol
I'm GCU but I have yet to look at BB. My trade in would be 152 or something like that. I have the Sunset Overdrive edition. I'll have to think hard about whether it's worth it. I don't need more than the 500gb edition either. I have a 1tb external attached to my current one.
Just need some reviews! Wonder when they drop.
Does that make sense? Just a quick bit of math I did and I am probably wrong, so someone correct me if that is the case:
Say the OG Xbone is x by y by z, thus the volume is xyz. A 40% decrease in volume would then be 0.6*xyz.
If each of the dimensions was reduced by 40%, then the Xbone S would be 0.6*x by 0.6*y by 0.6*z, thus the volume would be 0.216*xyz.
PS4 is smaller in width and height, but bigger in length ( because "parallelogram" shape )
I don't see 40% size reduced in width :
Or it's just an exaggerated graphic meant to, over the course of 2 seconds, show people "it's smaller".

EDIT: Read that wrong.

It's not, RowdyReverb was talking about that graphic.

You will need to wait some site dissecting it first.
They mentioned that it's 40% reduced by volume compared to the old Xbox and power brick. So it's more like .6(xyz+brick volume). It's something that threw off a lot of the original graphics modeled.
But it looks great. I really like the fine texture/print of the dots on the right hand side.
Doubt it. Although, Phil said it's the same APU as in Xbone.

How did they lie? Do you have the physical console? Did you do your own comparison by taking them apart and see if it really is 40% smaller? Just curious.
The Xbox One S is definitely smaller depth wise than the PS4. The OG Xbox One is also less deep than the PS4.
He said it's the same APU in layman terms... that it's equivalent in performance, not that it's literally the same chip they used in 2013...
People always have to have a measuring contest.
And what the hell he should tell to everyone? He said it couldn't be more simple and understandable to everyone, it's the same SoC, it's the same APU, there is no difference. As someone said in other thread : "MS won't talked about it" LOL. What, there is some NDA? Smgh.
Like you said yesterday : "Stop acting so desparate"
You should stop acting like there is some mistically boost in FLOPS!

You're gonna need to rephrase that because I have no idea what you said. And also explain how you got from point A to B in the second part. Where exactly am I acting desperate?
Awesome! Thank you.
Lmao I just never got around to it personally. Pretty sure it's still on mine
It wouldn't have been on AMD's roadmap if it was the same one.
Yea it's cheaper to manufacture a new an improved chip at 14/16nm and downclock that to get the equivalent of the old chip's performance.

The poster of this video really hasn't answered any questions which is a shame. The comments are just the usual Youtube comments.
My guess just looking at various pictures of Slim and OG Xbox the size would be:
310mm wide
230mm deep
60mm high
I also still think this will be 28nm. Because why wouldn't Microsoft mention it being more power efficient along with the other new features like UHD Blu Ray and HDR?

I am still hoping there is a little bit of a bump, though ;-)
Yea I am hoping they reserved some extra cycles for BC and general OS improvements.
