There are dedicated asics already that do that, no need to upgrade CPU or GPU for that.

I'm sure this has been said but it just hit me if this was the console they released in 13 with the OS it has now and none of the BS before launch it might of been a respectable console race right now

So funny hearing Americans call it Xbox One Ass

So we have to wait for the 299 version?
You have to wait for the S version. All versions.

Woah. He's talking about Gears being 4K60? Seriously?
Mic and Kinect...and it would be "Hey Cortana, record that"...and jesus they need to fix the speed on the shit. It's horribly slow.

£349 is sweet value for that package.
That would suck though, well not suck but Gears 4 at 4K as it is, what's the point, do something more with the power at 1080p/1440p. I know they said it's up to the devs but I can't imagine their own studios not doing 4K native so they'll basically piss away all that power. On the other hand that means nothing drastic in scale or features that an Xbox One can't do, only resolution.
This is my question as well. I preordered the 2TB version and 1TB version then I'm going to cancel if the 1TB is significantly later.
Guys this is totally expectable
Node shrinks always bring performance improvements, but for example for the X360 iterations, Microsoft simply locked the performance benefits of the newer revisions so they were all in par.
Since now they are going full iterative and trying to get all the perf they can get, they are simply allowing the devs to use the extra headroom.
If Dynamic Resolution is the norm, it will simply be used to stabilize instead of getting more effects in or creating a big divide.

You need to upgrade the CPU and GPU to support UHD video's DRM requirements in silicon.
No, generally speaking "HDR" in gaming was similar to photography - not high at all but just crushed dynamic range, because ultimately the screen that's showing it still had the same level of dynamic range in hardware as a 1980s CRT.
So HDR is fairly new to gaming and generally needs new hardware.
So you think the Samsung UHD BDP has a CPU and a GPU?
You need to upgrade both if you have both. If the GPU is in the CPU then obviously that solves the problem - it's about bus encryption.
That would mean that the bdp app in Xbox One S will be executed in the "game os" and not in the "other os", right?

Well fuck, maybe I will buy this thing. Can always hook up the Xbox hulk in the garage
Not necessarily. The actual decryption will be done in a separate secure OS below the hypervisor on the chipset itself. Neither OS gets to see the video frames, really. The UI will probably be in the other OS, as MS built systems for them to talk to each other in Windows 8/10 (which is why the Netflix Windows 8 app got 1080p and Chrome for Windows didn't).

Is anyone else stoked at the fact that this thing will play 4k blu ray!. As it stands right now, a 4k blu ray player is well beyond the price of a 2 tb xbox one s.
I'm getting one for that simple fact.

Sweet. Thanks for the link.
These look really awesome tbh. I love the color, and the size.I think making the 2TB a limited edition launch model is a mistake though. IMO rather keep it on the market for those who want it and don't want to opt for external storage for whatever reason. Personally if I had the choice I'd spring for a console with as big a hard drive as possible before going ahead and adding external storage.

Any word on a fire sale on the old version?
I would assume it would be universal if they're going internal but that would be a could question to throw at Phil Spencer or Mike Ybarra on Twitter. I'm sure they would answer it.
