Great price if true.

I think it's the Xbox Surface thing.

PS4 price drop to $250 confirmed.
Old rumor from 2013 that's not happening.
That doesn't make sense. What does a new Band have to do with anything gaming?
Why does it say starting at $299, maybe a game bundled
Maybe they are putting achievements on real life.
Achievement unlocked - Bench pressed 200lbs - 100g
Achievement unlocked - Went for a five mile run - 100g
3 size options. Up to 2TB.
Any other colors?
What kind of storage can we expect at 299? 1TB I assume?
500gb I think at 299
1tb at 349
2 at 399
Unless there's something else to the system I don't yet
That would kill any chance for the S. Sony has the last press conference, so going out with a $50 discount on the best selling hardware would be the only thing people remember. Don't forget, the S is just a better looking but same capability Xbox One. It's the same thing MS offers today with new cosmetics.
Other posters are saying that's the 500GB model, and 2TB and potentially UHD BD versions could go up to $449 (bad move IMO).

Outside of DR4 I don't know what wasn't known.
This is very clearly not the case. A 4K UHD disc drive is a pretty substantial thing to add. Obviously the computing power isn't changing, but it's a bit more than just a new look.
Question, I understand the slim being released but why so many configs with just different hdds if Scorpio is releasing next year. Why not 1 at 1 tb as a stop gap. UHD isn't that big of deal yet to make a system that plays uhd movies. Why sink that money into that?
Ori 2 and State of Decay 2 (possibly). Both of which, you know, whatever. We know a name and a possible screenshot. That doesn't hurt the press conference reveals in anyway outside of anticipating it. I still want to know what they could add in a sequel to both of those games outside of, hey we made a bigger world?

Xbox One S price
according to NerdLeaks.
$299
Yeah they must be really disappointed. It sucks, and it makes the conference far less exciting for us.

The HDD is an easy swap for MS, and it helps create extra bank from all the whales who buy the bigger versions at a significant mark up.
Why just UHD movies?)
There's something else to this system isn't there? You don't make 3 configs for uhd movies makes no sense
I don't think I understand your question. They also have 2 different size options for the vanilla Xbox One.
I know the hdd is an easy switch but when your system isn't selling well why release systems that are more expensive. When you're trying to regain market share
To give people options. If they only sell the cheapest SKU what would change?
Why release so many systems, even if it's just an easy hdd swap. Something that will be in the market a year and then Scorpio.
Dead Rising 4, Forza Horizon 3, Ori 2, Halo Wars 2 with a beta today, State of Decay 2, New slim console, Recore gameplay, Gears 4 gameplay.
That alone is a pretty awesome press conference, yet because we know about it all it'll feel like it's reeling off of a script we have in front of us.

The slim is there to stay also with Scorpio being on the market. By then the slim will be cheaper and a nice entry to Xbox gaming. People still bought 360s when the One released.

Please announce RDR and GTA4 BC today...
Need my Starz in your Eyes Track and GTA Race fun.

I'm all for options but with external hdd support, I dont think 3 skus are necessary. I'm getting this either way.

Because some people will buy them, paying an extra $100 for something that cost MS only ~$25.
It all helps them maintain profitability on the hardware, especially when you start factoring in stuff like holiday deals and discounts.

Are you kidding? State of Decay was always meant to be an MMO. State of Decay 2 will hopefully deliver that, or at least a heavy and deep online mode.

Was anything that leaked really a surprise? It's mostly stuff we already knew about.

How can you ruin what we already knew weeks ago? Lol
Since this is the currently the most active E3 thread, I should ask here.
Is there any way I can stream the conferences on mobile or ipad? Do the youtube and/or twitch apps work relatively OK? Or is there any other alternative because I'm not going to be home for some of them.

...lacks reading comprehension.
It can display Xbox Live messages on your wrist? Scroll through achievement lists? Inform you when somebody from your friend list is online?
I think the stream on Xbox.com will work. Other than that, the youtube app works fine for me (iOS)
