Support NeoGAF

[Elitist1945]

Unknown right now.
$20 MSRP

So $25 CAD (probably gonna be pushed to $30). Not bad.

 

[Tristax]

Apologies if it's been posted but does the S have the upgraded SS Hybrid Drive that's in the Elite currently?

Load times in a lot of games are so much faster on the Elite and I'm down to order a S but not if it's a step backwards in gaming performance from my Elite.

They have not said as of yet. I think it would be great for the 2tb model, but no news yet. I think many are wanting to know some more details with the "S" such as the Sata port, is it 2 like the Xbox One of Sata 3, which would help with load times. Also stuff like what audio formats it will support and other things.

 

[AndyD]

This is such a deceiving image. How did they get to this extreme example? Did they include the powerbrick?

They said it includes the power brick volume. The rationale is that it's now internal, so it counts in the "reduction".

 

[Blastoise]

can someone post a PS4 comparison shot?

 

[LQX]

Has anyone found any trade-in deals yet? Looks like Gamestop only gives $100 for the Xbox One. I'm not sure if they give any extra with controllers + Kinect.

Sell it in the for sale section. You can potentially get $175 at the least.

This is such a deceiving image. How did they get to this extreme example? Did they include the powerbrick?

honestly, i think whoever made this made the mistake of making it 40% shorter in one dimension and letting the rest follow, as opposed to a true 40% volume. for instance, if you just look at the width of it. Seems about 40% wouldn't you say?

 

[suddenlyissoon]

They're going to have to talk about bitstream audio at some point, right?

 

[malfcn]

Will wait for black or Scorpio.
Is this thing matte or glossy?

 

[Piper Az]

I'm wising that Scorpio will be either silver or white

 

[Final Verdict]

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.

It comes with it apparently!

go to 6:00 mark to see it.

It only comes with the 2gb version i believe

 

[EBE]

is the 2TB limited edition? as in it comes in a special box like the day one xbox one?
im a sucker for that

 

[Malakai]

By going with an Internal PSU, does this increase the odds of Xbox One S overheating that plagued the Xbox 360.

Wouldn't be cheaper to get the smaller storage Xbox One S @ $299 for 500GB and buy a external 4 TB harddrive for $120 or 3 TB hard drive for about $85? How many USB 3.0 ports does the Xbox One S have?

Yea, it comes in the box that has the console standing rather than flat and only in the corner of the box. It also comes with the stand where the 500GB and 1TB do not, it's $19.99 by itself.

 

[BeforeU]

Straight from Microsoft, the 2TB launches first and the 500GB and 1TB follow at a later date.


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).

Interesting, did not know that.

I am wondering the same, not sure why everyone is calling that a limited edition. Looks same to me.

That stand, not bad. Not bad at all.

I think it does, it is limited so I would image there is something that indicates that on the box.

But MS store says "Launch Edition"
He also list the MS store only here

[WadeitOut]

The 500gb version will obviously be out around the Holidays when everyone who doesn't have a 4K tv finally makes the jump and UHDs are all over the place.

Weird, they look like the same thing? Idk. I can't decide if I want a 2TB one or just wait for the 500GB one. I won't be using the stand so that's not really important.

 

[WadeitOut]

I'm just going to cancel the 500gb and keep my 2TB preorder. An additional $100 for the stand, 1.5 extra tbs, and getting it like 3 months earlier is worth it to me since I sold my Halo 5 console the other day to pay for most of it anyways.

 

[Pagusas]

Anyone heard of any trade In programs yet? Any place giving $150 or $200 for a Xbox one trade in?

Nothing yet. I kinda expect something from GameStop closer to August.

That isn't bad at alll, May do it.

 

[The Nexus of G]

I would love an option to get it in black. I'm not a huge fan of white electronics, I like them black.

 

[WadeitOut]

That isn't bad at alll, May do it.

I sell on Ebay because I can get more even with the 10% taken out but the Amazon trade in is pretty great. If they grade the console lower than you picked when you did it you can choose to either have them ship it back to you for free or take the lower amount.

 

[rokkerkory]

Damn makes me wanna sell my SO bundle

 

[WadeitOut]

FYI my link above was wrong. That was a link to trade IN the new console. Amazon doesn't let you do that. You have to actually select your specific console from here;

https://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=i:tradein-aps,k:xbox one

But they give you a prepaid shipping label which is nice.

[Swass]

Has it been confirmed or denied if the internal hard drive is swappable like it is on the PS3 and PS4?

 

[Fliesen]

yeah, right. The 'mistake'.

 

[Kazooie]

Was going to buy the 1tb for £299 but if the stand is an extra £20 I may as well get the 2tb console for £349.

This would look so sexy in matte black, but my PS4 is white as well.

 

[Madchad]

OT needs updating 2TB is NOT $300

 

[TLZ]

Thread title should be fixed since 2TB is in title, it should say $399 (400), not $299 (300).

EDIT: Post above beat me

 

[Tristax]

Sucks that they didn't release more details, by the time they get around to addressing audio options, whether it has a SSD Hybrid drive, etc. the 2g model will be hard to find.

 

[gamz]

Has it been confirmed or denied if the internal hard drive is swappable like it is on the PS3 and PS4?

I'm pretty sure it won't be.

 

[wesleyshark]

All of my games are on an external 2TB HDD so if I get the S I'll be waiting for the 500GB version. Plug and play ftw.

The Verge already had good comparison pictures on Monday.

http://www.theverge.com/2016/6/13/11911184/microsoft-xbox-one-s-announced-price-specs-e3-2016

It was also mentioned in there, that the 2 TB model launches first in August.

"A special, limited edition launch edition of the Xbox One S will be available in early August with a 2TB hard drive for $399. Two standard versions will be available soon after: a 500GB edition for $299, and 1TB for $349."

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

I was in Gamestop today pre-ordering the 1TB, and they said the 28th for the 500gb and the 1tb.

 

[Chitown B]

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

they don't? I swore all my outputs on my X1 were set to bitstream.

 

[MrFrankFontaine]

Waiting to hear about trade in programs, but definitely interested in swapping out for the S.

 

[Chitown B]

I am disappointed how far the release date of this thing is.


In 2012 they announced 360 slim and pulled available end of the week thing. This one, available in Aug. Come on.

The 360 had already been out for 7 years at that point. The X1 has only been out for 2.5 years. They need to sell off remaining stock at discount.

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

What are the odds the S model gets a discount for Black Friday? Or do you think it will still be in high demand by then?

 

[Samurai G0SU]

28th of ______?

 

[Elios83]

The fact that the console has a UHD BR drive and still costs 299$ is a good thing.
It means that the new disc drive has virtually no impact on the cost of the system.
