Hope so, so Tales of Vesperia works? I'll get an Xbox One eventually when it can play those 3 games.

If it's silent when playing games too that would be really nice. Shame the regular PS4 won't get such an update - hopefully the PS4 Neo is quieter and cooler though.

pretty slick. why is there a darker circular outline on the top where the dots are? is that ventilation?

The controller isn't exactly the same as Xbox One?
No I don't think so about ToV. It's got >12,000 votes so I assume they know to work on it.
Just check the list my man. And no Tales is still not BC

Oh boo, its only a single disc too. When do they usually bring out more 360 games that can run on the one?
It's got enhanced range, Bluetooth, grips, and from the looks of it the sticks are very slightly shorter, but I can't be certain on that.
They release games to backward compatibilty very regularly, almost on a weekly basis. Like I edited in the first post, it's got 12,000 votes so I am sure they are aware it is in demand.

Black version?
Looks really nice, but not a fan of white electronics.

It's impressive that they managed to reduce the size as much as they did (when you consider there isn't a massive power brick anymore), but I honestly don't like the look. A lot of that comes down to it being white. I feel like it just accentuates all the exhaust holes (or whatever they are).
I want it in my living room and make love to it. It's sexy as hell!
I fixed it for you

He isn't answering the power consumption questions so far on the Youtube comments.
Looks like an onboard speaker rather than ventilation. Of course, I know better.
My thoughts exactly.
I can't think of another console more beautiful.
And that controller...oh, that controller...

? they moved the side usb port to the front. The only thing cut is the dedicated Kinect port.

I dunno, the clearly viewable fan cutout (when viewed from the top) is kind of a bummer. That shit is hidden perfectly in the current Xbone.

But not Bluetooth for Bluetooth headphones/earpieces though, right?
Not going to bother getting one of these. But my god does that thing look good.
Don't think so. It's there to let you connect to a PC wirelessly.

As sexy as that is, I really fucking HATE that they put a USB on the front. Worst thing about PlayStation consoles too.
nope, I love that
I think it's very aesthetically pleasing, in an almost retro 70s sort of way. The entire console has a really sleek flair to it, and speaking as someone who has absolutely no interest in buying an xbone, it's vastly superior in looks to the PS4
awaits the dogpiling from sony fans
Looks really good.
I don't see a reason to upgrade my Xbone to the Slim. The current one performs great, dead silent and with an external HDD plugged in, I have no worries about space.
The only gain would be HDR, but I don't have a compatible TV and have absolutely no plans to buy a new one anytime soon.
I am, however, very interested in the new controller. I think we all know how much of an issue the current Xbox One controller is right now, with a lot of reliability issues, mainly the dreaded drift in the thumbsticks.
If this new model is able to fix these issues, it will be a must buy as soon as it's available as a stand alone product (and maybe even an Elite version of it).

Looks great, but keeping my original XboxOne. Can't justify buying it, since I don't own a 4K set.

You love... this?
The circular fan cut-out is so bad. Wish it blended like the current bone.

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?

Wow, you should make a thread. MS deserves more flak for this.

Misleading. There was a thread of shame about it.

Microsoft should've gotten more flak for that image.
EDIT: God dammit.

I SO hope they do bring it to Scorpio though. I used that earpiece on 360 so damn much.
I suspect someone said "make it 40% smaller" to one of the graphic design guys and they reduced each dimension by 40%. There was a thread about it.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?

That is a 40 percent reduction in every dimension resulting an overall shrinkage of somewhere like 75%
and yeah, there was a thread about how this graphic is misleading

If the S keeps the same proportions, a 40% reduction in volume is only a roughly 15% reduction in the length of each dimension. So it wouldn't look terribly drastic, especially in photos.

You joke, but it was a shitty way to present it.

Same thought crossed my mind. (Obviously not seriously, but it did cross.)
