Major Nelson with Geoff K. unboxing the Xbox One S. He even puts a gutted original XBO over the One S to show the size difference.

That is one beautiful console. Holy crap!

 

[MaineUPTDC]

Does anyone know if this will have HDCP 2.2 ?

 

[Slackbladder]

Does anyone know if this will have HDCP 2.2 ?

I would think so. If it plays 4K Blu-ray it has to have HDCP 2.2 otherwise people will just use it to copy 4K films en masse.

Dem surface team designers at work i guess.

Makes sense.

I know it shouldnt matter, but damn. That thing looks hot.

That's a hell of a box. The console also!

[TK-421]

Any word on a fire sale on the old version?

Nothing official yet, but you know it'll happen. By November 28th if nothing else, as retails need that shelf space for the holiday.

 

[EGM1966]

Looks very nice. No Kinect dedicated port either? Guess it really s dead as a core peripheral and merely remains for niche demographic now.

 

[GreyWind]

Love the design

 

[Nutter]

Since it's a clear that they are rebranding. Can we get a rebranded game case as well? The current gray side panels are ugly as fuck.

No port. Free USB accessory for those that want to use it.

 

[WadeitOut]

I currently have both the 2Tb and 500gb on preorder with Amazon because the 500gb is showing a December placeholder. Was it officially confirmed all SKUs are launching the same day in August so I can cancel this 2TB?

blue glowing xbox power button. WHY DOES THIS MAKE ME WANT IT MORE??

Yes, been pulled. There is a Kinect->USB adapter that will be free for existing Xbox One registered owners: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/accessories/kinect-adapter

 

[Tomeru]

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.

Yeah well, what do you know. I just took a look at the unboxing video, and it's right there on the sticker: 100-240V. Awesome news.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

When will it come to India though?

 

[Badlucktroll]

Are there going to be any trade in deals for this? Must have that UHD player....

 

[EvB]

Mass production doesn't allow for it now, I would have been really surprised if it wasn't

Actually it makes perfect sense. They stopped selling Kinect with the proprietary connector a while back, and standardised on a USB connector. As such, anyone buying one would need to get an adapter to plug it into the proprietary port. This just brings it in line with what they've been doing for about a year now.

People with a Kinect and Xbox One can get a free adapter after the purchase a slim.

 

[krang]

I'll ask this again, because I can't find the answer, but with this thing only come in white?

 

[EGM1966]

Yeah that's my point. It's subtle as a difference but makes clear Kinect is merely another periperal competing for a limited set of USB ports and only for those interested vs being integral to the system and its operation. It's felt like that for a while but this feels more like official acknowledgment.

 

[Arex]

Looks sleek! I hope there's some kind of dust filter there though haha

 

[WadeitOut]

This is what I came here to find out. The different release dates is a low blow

IGN says they all release the same day. But I have no idea if that is just an assumption or not.

I'll ask this again, because I can't find the answer, but with this thing onlay come in white?

Yes. Because the white XB1 was always the superior console.

 

[Lynn616]

So does it play 4K UHD discs or not?

 

[krang]

See my post above. You can only buy Kinect with a USB adapter now, so why would they put the old proprietary jack on it?

 

[neurophd]

How about hard drive speed? Will the slim perform better with external hard drive like the fat?

 

[EvB]

So does it play 4K UHD discs or not?

It does

 

[Jonboy]

Not to be nitpicky, but the OP makes it sound as if the 2TB version is $300.

It's the 500GB version for $300 though.

Edit: Mean the thread title.

 

[cool_dude]

Installing that in my SUV!

 

[RowdyReverb]

I wonder how the fan noise will compare to the very quiet Xbox One

 

[Mixolydian]

So does it play 4K UHD discs or not?

Yup. All versions cone with the UHD drive.

 

[c0de]

How about hard drive speed? Will the slim perform better with external hard drive like the fat?

For usual drives non ssd there won't be much higher rates. The external is faster because it only contains games while the internal is also coping with other stuff from the os. Multiple access is bad in terms of access time and throughput.

 

[Memorabilia]

Are all the internal drives still slow af 5400rpm? I'm considering picking up a 2TB Slim to replace my lone remaining non-Elite Xbone. But I've gotten used to my Elites with faster SSHD drives, so I might hold out for an Elite S model (in black).

 

[gamz]

If you read the OP it's quite clear.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

When will we get detailed specs like clock speeds and changes? Also will we see the internals detailed like with the fat?

 

[Broman1978]

Welcome to Sweden. Shops like Discshop and Webhallen put up preorders now for the new Slim.
$600 for Xbox One Slim
About twice the price they have for Xbox One 1TB with Division or Rise of the Tomb Raider lol

 

[BFIB]

Gaffers, don't forget that if you want the $300 model with 500GB, all you have to do is get an external hard drive to add on from there. Might be a lot cheaper to get the 500GB model, and add on a terabyte external for $50.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

packaging:

That box alone is worth $300.

 

[jet1911]

For those looking for a UHD payer in Canada the S is a good deal. The cheapest UHD player on BB site is 600$.

 

[rdytoroll]

This is the best looking console I have ever seen. And 299€ is a really good price (500GB is good enough for me). Hmm, this would make a great christmas gift. I wanna play the Xbox exclusives and especially Horizon 3

 

[EazyWeazy3]

Hate to be that guy but, what are the chances this comes out in black?

All my other components are black, and I'd like to stick with that trend.

I hope Scorpio is black.

 

[Lynn616]

Yup. All versions cone with the UHD drive.

It does

This is confirmed? Not just 4K streaming? Amazing if true.

 

[jmdajr]

So does it play 4K UHD discs or not?

It does

I mean that's not a bad deal really. How much do the stand alone players cost now?

 

[Hawk269]

This is confirmed? Not just 4K streaming? Amazing if true.

Yes, it is confirmed that it has a UHD Blu Ray drive in it. Pretty amazing considering the only UHD Player available right now is Samsungs and it alone cost $399.99. So for $299.99 you get a UHD Player and a Xbox One Console in one package.

Game clanger if true. That's something I haven't even thought of. Kinda crazy they have a UHD player before SONY.

 

[sono]

It looks way better than fat xb1 for sure.

I'm in the same boat.

I think the white Xbox Ones look great, and I want to want one, but everything else in my entertainment center is black and fades in to the background. I'm torn
