Support NeoGAF

[broncobuster]

Any eagle eyed folks know what's different about the new pad?

 

[oakenhild]

It IS looking damn good.

But are people really going to bother with this if they also have a brand new much improved system in the pipeline for next year?

Most people have no idea there is another Xbox in the pipeline beyond the slim.

Some gamers won't even find out about the slim until they see it in stores.

 

[AndyMoogle]

Theory: if it supports 4K and HDR, that extra horsepower can be used for games?

Soft gpu/cup hardware refresh too?

There is no extra power needed for 4k video.

 

[BruceCLea]

So did MS conference already happen? I woke up kinda late...

 

[Welfare]

Microsoft really want to go back to the 360 look.

 

[Goodacre0081]

I guess it's time to replace. Hopefully launches same time with Sea of Thieves, I want to play it on my new console.

this thing might launch on monday/next week

 

[GreyWind]

The Gears image is the bigger deal here. As a current Xbox One owner, the S feels like a complete waste of money when the Scorpio is coming next year.

I know it's a screenshot from Judgement. The question is whether it is there for a reason or just a placeholder

 

[jelly]

Oh, right. If this is louder I will gladly stay with the old model, it's not like I ever looked at it anyway.

The external power brick needed it's own fan which always bugged me but this will probably work with whatever cools the rest of the box so silent is likely.

 

[RyudBoy]

I would never set my console vertically, no matter how nice it looks.

Just saying.

 

[Caayn]

Looks really good. Price <€300 and I'll bite maybe.

4K and HDR output is really nice.

 

[shanew21]

The 4K and HDR stuff makes me think this is gonna be more expensive than people might expect, specifically considering this isn't the Scorpio hardware. Decent 4K Blu-ray players are around $400.

Likely just 4K streaming with HDR. I highly doubt it'll do 4K Blu-Ray.

 

[mohsinkhan]

I bet its $449.99 CAD

 

[Marshmallow_Fluff]

Looks cool, despite me not having a need to buy one.

I'm curious about the "High Dynamic Range" part, can anyone shed any light on what this might mean?

 

[The Flash]

I know it's a screenshot from Judgement. The question is whether it is there for a reason or just a placeholder

That's clearly Marcus. It's from Gears 3.

 

[Leonsito]

Yeah, they needs this to be $299, but the price drop of the original one makes me think that this could be $349.

 

[CoG]

Theory: if it supports 4K and HDR, that extra horsepower can be used for games?

Soft gpu/cup hardware refresh too?

No. There's likely a HEVC decoder chip in it for 4K and HDR which does nothing for games.

 

[Lucreto]

It won't be cheaper than the current Xbox One but it will be $299 or $399.

 

[BenjaminArrola]

Yes, it looks straight copy of PS4 design, eh...

 

[ekim]

There are multiple SKUs with different size options.

 

[sam777]

So did MS conference already happen? I woke up kinda late...

Yep, the new Banjo game looked amazing.

 

[DieH@rd]

Looks really good. Price <€300 and I'll bite maybe.

4K and HDR output is really nice.

HW is the same, 4K and HDR are just part of the newer HDMI spec.

 

[AndyMoogle]

Just an old promo shot from Gears 3

I thought that too, but that none of the locust look like that in Gears 3.

 

[Maniel]

I would never set my console vertically, no matter how nice it looks.

Just saying.

Why?

 

[Prisoner KSC2-303]

It's going to release tomorrow. Just like the last 2 slims

I'm not a source, btw. Just a prediction

The first leaked image says "Pre-order" though.

 

[webkatt]

$0.99 with Xbox One trade in!

Prerequisite is the Day One Achievement

Do it MS!

 

[offshore]

Looks fucking cool IMO.

 

[dEvAnGeL]

Anyone please make a comparison of the controllers

 

[Welfare]

There are multiple SKUs with different size options.

Xbox Mini (Diskless) and Xbox Stick?

 

[Bessy67]

Any eagle eyed folks know what's different about the new pad?

I'm wondering this too. Looks exactly the same. Maybe a mic?

 

[krang]

Look at 360 slim. Look at BC. MS know how to keep a secret for E3 if they want to.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Do it MS!

I'll take it

 

[Rellik]

Hopefully it remains quiet and cool with the internal power brick, and doesn't sound like my PS4.

 

[Good Guy Gone Bad]

Wow

it's tiny

 

[JaggedSac]

There are multiple SKUs with different size options.

Nice.

 

[ekim]

Likely just 4K streaming with HDR. I highly doubt it'll do 4K Blu-Ray.

It does.

Xbox Mini (Diskless) and Xbox Stick?

No just HDD space.

 

[On Demand]

Nice looking design. Is 4K playback only for streaming, or does it have 4K disc too?

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

So the slim and the Scorpio are one in the same. Interesting. If they price it at $299 this could be hard for Sony to beat this fall.

 

[Markitron]

​

Likely just 4K streaming with HDR. I highly doubt it'll do 4K Blu-Ray.

Does any streaming service support HDR? I have only seen it supported on UHD Blu Rays, which leads me to believe this will be a UHD BD player.

 

[ilMikhail]

I know it's a screenshot from Judgement. The question is whether it is there for a reason or just a placeholder

Its from gears 3

 

[RyudBoy]

Why?

Afraid it might tip over.

 

[Ape]

looking dated tbh

 

[Goose_Se7en]

Because the more powerful one is too expensive?

Start saving up from now?

 

[EBreda]

Does This HDR suppory bring anythingat all to the way games are shown on the TV?

 

[Gamble]

sign me up since I planned to get an xb1 anyway

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

 

[The Flash]

I thought that too, but that none of the locust look like that in Gears 3.

Trust me it's Gears 3.

 

[GreyWind]

That's clearly Marcus. It's from Gears 3.

Oh shit, you are right. I didn't look closely. Maybe Gears 3 remastered?

 

[GavinGT]

I'm wondering this too. Looks exactly the same. Maybe a mic?

I'm guessing a mic and tighter sticks.

 

[Heavy Iron Industries]

will the logo rotate tho

 

[Caayn]

HW is the same, 4K and HDR are just part of the newer HDMI spec.

I realize that

That's why I used the word output instead of native or rendering and didn't mention games.
