Damn, this things is stirring up some feelings that I buried long ago. I was focused on the PS4k, but now....

This looks incredible. I'm a day one xbox one owner and will probably upgrade. My only question is whether or not the internal power supply is 110-240v. I had to buy a second power supply for my console when i moved to europe, so it would be nice to have an all-in-one solution with this new box.
It's multi voltage

I decided to pre-order one as well. I have a new Sony 4k HDR set and while I am still going to get a Scorpio, I can't pass up games that use HDR. I have the Samsung UHD player and HDR is a huge difference in addition to the 4k resolution. Seeing what HDR does for movies, I am really curious how Gears 4 will look in HDR on the Xbox S.
do people buy a lot of 4K BD's? I used to be really into BD picture quality perfection (Pioneer everything) but over time I got over it. Most streaming and digital files are more than good enough. I guess if you have a 4K TV you're more interested - but I'm sure you can find 4K digital stuff too.
There aren't a lot of 4K BDs yet as they just started coming out with them in the past few months. They will be all over this Holiday. And 4K Tvs will be huge sellers.

Pretty soon 4K will be standard as 1080P is now.
Sorry if this has already been asked, but has anything been said about the hard drives besides the sizes? Are these SATA II or III? What RPM? If it's the same as the Xbox One I'll just get the 500 gig version and use an external, but if it's SATA III 7200 RPM I might go for the 2 TB for the load time benefit...

It has HDMI in and out
I don't think it'll be standard for at least 3 years. And not in broadcast for at least 5. It took forever just for TV to get to 1080 and even now some stations aren't.
HAHAaAhahAAHahAHAahAHaHhaaaa....
No, Neo was never coming out this year. It may not even come out next year. Scorpio was announced and it's still not out for 18 months.

When did they do an unboxing? Or what that the video where they just discussed the console itself.

MS have *got* to support bit stream pass through audio if they want this to be considered a viable 4k bluray player. Without it, atmos and dtsx sound output aren't possible

Debating grabbing a 500GB one for X1 exclusives. I already have the MCC, Rare Replay, Dead Rising 3 and Sunset Overdrive...would add on Gears Remastered+Halo 5 to that plus Gears 4, Scalebound, ReCore, Ori, Cuphead, etc. later. 500GB plus an external if needed should be enough, right? PS4 is my main console so all multiplats will be on that.

Get the 500GB model and buy an external drive when you need more space.
Be aware though that the 500GB model arrives later than the 2TB model does.

Finally the XboxOne is in good shape.
A pity they did not do the reveal as they did with the 360 slim. Having the old one, lifting it, and the slim was inside. That was such an effective little move.

That's the one.
Thanks. Well, guess that confirms it then. Not the end of the world, but still sucks a little. I guess I'll finally buy a proper headset.

So the 2TB is in August, and the 500gb and the 1TB are unspecified dates?
packaging:
That's a marvelous boxart. Looks nice and clean.

Sadly, yes.

Boo. More time to save anyway, but still.
Which is weird because some sites like IGN list a 500gb, 1TB, and 2TB launching the same day in August. Has it been officially said that the 500GB comes later?

Ouch. My local EB Games said my 500GB XB1 was worth $210. They also have a trade-in deal where if you trade a XB1 for another console you get $250. Does GameStop not have a similar deal?
Damn! That's a great price!

You are probably better off selling outright.

Straight from Microsoft, the 2TB launches first and the 500GB and 1TB follow at a later date.
Xbox said:
The 2TB model is also the only one that comes with the vertical stand. To me the 500GB and 1TB are just there so that MS can say "starting at $299" instead of "$399".
They did that only for the US market. The rest of us still needed to wait till September to get it (iirc).

Betting that's to clear out stock of the old model and the later date will depend on their projections for when that will happen. Why would I buy the old model when the XB1 S is sitting there for $299.
Ugh, just also noticing the 500GB/1TB launch isn't listed yet. Such a bummer... I already invested in a large external hard drive, so I don't feel like the 2TB is for me (of course they announce it's a fusion drive or something)
I was so going to get this in August (hell, I was even planning on upgrading to a 4K TV as well), but I guess they want their diehard customers to wait. Bummer.

Whats a later date are we talking about weeks or months?

Do we have any idea what the Vertical Stand is gonna cost? $20? I'm trying to decide whether I wait for the 500GB to come out and get a stand separately, or just get the 2TB with the stand included.
