Height: No
Width: No
Depth: Yes, but the XB1 Fat was also smaller than the PS4 in this dimension.

Good to know.

The only important question.

For the curious, yes

 

[etta]

Pictures could be a little bigger

For you to admire it in all its glory ; )

 

[Captain Zyrain]

so many people leave it there

People leave a similar sticker on their drivers-side car window after they buy the car.. it drives me CCCCRRRAAAAZZZZYYYYYY

 

[jrcbandit]

Looks sexy, but I ended up cancelling my Amazon order due to it being inadequate as an ultra hd bluray player, already have a gaming pc for Xbox games. Every other ultra hd bluray player has two hdmi out so you can get HD sound when your receiver is not hdcp 2.2 complaint, which 95% of 2014 receivers with hdmi 2.0 are not.... HDCP 2.2 was so anti consumer and pointless, already cracked and just a huge nuisance.

 

[dealer-]

Looks so good. I want it, but can't justify it. Glad to hear it's silent.

 

[mike4001_]

Would like a little bit more information about the noise except "silent so far"

 

[VE3TRO]

I wonder if the OS is running at native 4K or just upscaled from 1080p.

 

[muzzymate]

Looks nice.

Quick, someone put that next to a TiVo Bolt for reasons!

"The console has been silent so far and is delicious dropping the external power supply."

I love online translations.

Also Norwegian = Swede.

 

[ClearData]

Has to be a contender for the sexiest console ever

It is quite simply a box, but the I/O is so cleanly laid out and the profile is finally understated and pleasing. So I think it finally meets the original design goal of being something that can be overlooked and comfortably fitting in the living room. (I'm paraphrasing) Something the original had a hard time doing based on it's sort of obnoxious size in my opinion.

 

[Inuhanyou]

I would expect the same as XB1, but upscaled, since the only change to the hardware is the output configuration due to HDMI 2.0.

Since this is the S model, its basically the same as the 360 S model. OS was still 720p, but upscaled to 1080p if you had the output set

 

[emag]

Need a review of the controller's d-pad.

 

[webkatt]

Need a review of the controller's d-pad.

Likely the same as current controllers

Not so great

 

[ElTorro]

Haven't really followed the news. Is it possible to officially replace the internal hard drive?

 

[blastprocessor]

Not recorded on a potato cam so can't be real.

No

One's D-Pad is fine. Maybe iffy on fighters but a vast improvement over the 360.

 

[Max_Po]

dam with Scorpio so close... I do not want another XboxOne and I do not want to sell my Mint/Like New Call of Duty AW Edition ....

On the controller the Thumb Sticks look a bit smaller in height.... which could make a lot of improvements.

 

[U2NUMB]

why does the controller feel better?

Well if someone has yet to feel one with the built in grips on the back it feels so much better. Beyond that not sure if they adjusted some small things. I use the Elite and I could never go back..

 

[madmackem]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck I wish they launched the 500g day and date.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Still thinking of buying one of the new controllers. Looks nice.

 

[Proelite]

Can he confirm whether or not the SOC is 14nm Boffin?

 

[Dipswitch]

Has it been confirmed that the S controllers are compatible with the original console? I'm in the market for a new controller and I'd rather buy the S version for bluetooth and other improvements.

 

[Korezo]

Has it been announced if it has official 4k bluray and not some upscaler? Want one in black

 

[Noobcraft]

Has it been confirmed that the S controllers are compatible with the original console? I'm in the market for a new controller and I'd rather buy the S version for bluetooth and other improvements.

It works on both. It has Bluetooth for connecting to other devices and uses the proprietary wifi connection for connecting to the Xbox.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

Can he confirm whether or not the SOC is 14nm Boffin?

Checking power consumption would give a strong indication of whether it is 14nm or still 28nm?

 

[molnizzle]

This was announced at E3, yes. It plays UHD Blu-rays at native 4K.

Like the PS3 with Blu-ray and PS2 with DVD, this is one of the better (if not the best) values on the market if you're looking to get a UHD Blu-ray player.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

Looks so good. I want it, but can't justify it. Glad to hear it's silent.

Right there with you. Was at the doorstep of my mall to trade-in my OG and stopped just short realizing I have no reason at all. My monitor doesn't have HDR and I don't watch 4K Blu-Rays. It's sexy as all hell, but I can't logically justify the purchase.

Spoiler

Not in black either

 

[etta]

I doubt he'd want to open it up...

Yes, a 4K BD.

 

[Backfoggen]

Gonna need some impressions of the 4K interface and scaling.

But the OG One is so ugly and bulky. You need to slimmer it down.

 

[etta]

You guys can maybe ask him on YouTube comments your questions, maybe he can take more videos of UI, settings, power consumption...etc.

 

[Dipswitch]

Lovely. Thx

 

[Kinyou]

I wonder how loud/silent is it compared to the fat xb one. The statement I the op is a bit vague

 

[LukasTaves]

More shots from CNET

Ugh, the top view is not very pleasing XD

But otherwise it looks so good. It's amazing how close it is from the xbone, but at the same time looking sexy whereas xbone was a very boring design.

 

[Plum]

Wait, so that means I can use it on PC without having to buy the £20 adapter? Or am I misunderstanding you?

 

[molnizzle]

Hoping someone does some quantifiable testing on this and posts the results. The 40% reduction is only worth it if it's still silent. If it's closing in on PS4 levels then I'd just keep the fat.

Wait, so that means I can use it on PC without having to buy the £20 adapter? Or am I misunderstanding you?

Yes. That's why the product exists in the first place. ;-)

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I like how it's a sleek rectangle instead of having weird round edges and curves.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

But the OG One is so ugly and bulky. You need to slimmer it down.

But see, since Gamestop/BestBuy only offer $100 for an OG, I gotta cough up $221 to get a console I don't need. Cash that could be spent buying games, gas, etc.

Needs vs Wants, utility theory, all that jazz.

 

[kiguel182]

That is one good looking console.

 

[madmook]

Wait, so that means I can use it on PC without having to buy the £20 adapter? Or am I misunderstanding you?

That's exactly why they added bluetooth.

Edit: Beaten.

Is the whole thing matte? Can it play Tales of Vesperia, Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey yet?

 

[test_account]

Also Norwegian = Swede.

I also noticed this, lol.

 

[iFirez]

God I hate white electronics - Will wait for Scorpio.

 

[etta]

They've got multi-disc BC working so I assume they are working on BD and LO.

 

[TheGreyHulk]

I was hoping for a "it's smaller and it' plays like an xbox one" as the full translation. I like the size of it. Wish my white xbone would morph into an s unit.
