If I had a 4K tv I would swap my Xbone for this, but as I don't I'll just admire it's beauty from afar. It's the best looking console I've ever seen.

 

[barneystuta83]

It would be neat if these controllers were compatible with iOS / Apple TV games, now that they have proper Bluetooth. Not sure if they'd need to do something special to enable that or not.

That is a great shout.

 

[bidguy]

so how is this 299 with a uhd player when regular uhd players are going for over 400 i dont get it

 

[Cleve]

Dumb question, but is this going to include the kinect to usb cable you need if you still want to use your old kinect?

 

[webkatt]

Wasn't this debunked or something? o.o

I hope so. I'm going to see if I can get a source. Is there a release date for 500GB/1TB models?

 

[T.O.P]

Thank jesus for the physical power up button

 

[Bsigg12]

Dumb question, but is this going to include the kinect to usb cable you need if you still want to use your old kinect?

No, there will be a form on the Xbox site you fill out with the serial numbers for your Xbox One, the Kinect and the Xbox One S and Microsoft will ship it to you for free.

 

[Havel]

Was expecting a video of an Xbox One S unboxing Geoff. Am disappointed.

 

[kami_sama]

I love the looks of it.

 

[T.O.P]

I hope so. I'm going to see if I can get a source. Is there a release date for 500GB/1TB models?

Someone answered you already on the first page, there's a controller included

 

[LowSignal]

I've been looking and haven't found an answer, does the Xbox One S use Bluetooth? and if so can we pair Bluetooth devices like headsets to the Xbox One S? Or is only the new controller Bluetooth compatible?

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

I'm in a weird conundrum. I love the console and I want the console but there's little-to-no Xbox One games that I'm interested in.

Just tell yourself it's a brilliant value 4k blu-ray player that also happens to play games

 

[T.O.P]

Also, the new white controller is nghhhhhh

 

[gamz]

I hope so. I'm going to see if I can get a source. Is there a release date for 500GB/1TB models?

Read the previous page. Was their seriously a rumor that it wouldn't include a controller? lol

 

[keenerz]

man I love the looks of it but rarely touch my current xbox one as is and I have a good PC

 

[Arklite]

so how is this 299 with a uhd player when regular uhd players are going for over 400 i dont get it

Maybe they're eating part of the cost. Don't see how they'd have a production or supply edge over Samsung and others to offset the cost normally.

 

[Bsigg12]

I've been looking and haven't found an answer, does the Xbox One S use Bluetooth? and if so can we pair Bluetooth devices like headsets to the Xbox One S? Or is only the new controller Bluetooth compatible?

Doesn't sound like it based on the comments by Larry in that video with Geoff. Seems like the Bluetooth stuff is solely to move away from forcing people to buy an adapter for the controller.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Great looking console, must give it to them.

Also, why Larry look so thirsty in the video?

 

[webkatt]

Yeah caught the info. This thread moves fast!

Shout out to barneystuta83 for the clarification.

 

[rokkerkory]

I am patiently waiting to see if this thing is gonna be quiet. If so, might swap out my one for the S. If not, just wait for Scorpio and upgrade. Upgrade to 4k tv as well.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Just tell yourself it's a brilliant value 4k blu-ray player that also happens to play games

If I pick up a 4k TV in the coming months as I planned, I may very well do this!

 

[keenerz]

Maybe they're eating part of the cost. Don't see how they'd have a production or supply edge over Samsung and others to offset the cost normally.

yeah I think this is kind of what Sony did with the Playstation 3 as a Blu Ray player.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Xbox One S : First Unboxing Geoff Keighley?

It looks more like a PR hijacking.

 

[VolticArchangel]

There was this stream yesterday where Greenberg unboxed this SKU and was talking about the MSFT conference, don't remember which one. Also, is this the $350 SKU?

 

[Bsigg12]

Maybe they're eating part of the cost. Don't see how they'd have a production or supply edge over Samsung and others to offset the cost normally.

To be fair, literally only Samsung has a UHD player on the market so they can just kind of set that price where they want it.

 

[gamz]

Just tell yourself it's a brilliant value 4k blu-ray player that also happens to play games

That's the reason I bought the PS3 (bluray) and I ended up playing a lot more games then I thought I would.

 

[sangreal]

They had an unblocking yesterday on gamespot.

Yes but this video was from Monday

 

[Zophar]

Looks really nice. Any size length comparisons with the PS4? I keep my PS4 inside one of those "cube" shelves and it fits into the dimensions perfectly, so I would be possibly be interested in an S if it could also fit in (the horizontal OG XB1 fits nowhere in my setup).

 

[Zakard]

Looks great. Big improvement.

 

[Lucifon]

Console looks awesome but I must admit I look forward to the day MajorNelson isn't the spokesperson for these kind of things. He comes across as so disingenuous and shill'y. I have nothing against him personally, just feel his approach does more harm than good.

 

[keenerz]

He addressed this in vid. Still using 2.4 GHZ propitiatory signal to speak to xbox.

The bluetooth is solely for PC gaming so you can make the switch seamlessly.

yep also means no more need for the wireless adapter which is pretty great

 

[RiccochetJ]

That is one good looking console. I'm going to hold off upgrading my XB1 until Scorpio comes out though. I wonder what that thing is going to look like.

 

[UraMallas]

It looks nice as fuck. I'm also probably going to get it in white, which is weird since I always go black.

Um, sir. There's a rule against going back.

I'm going to upgrade, I think. I'll be getting the 500GB version since I already have a 5TB external.

 

[VanWinkle]

I really LOVE the look and size of this console. Makes me sad about having the original one, lol.

 

[Philippo]

I would like a comparison with a PS4.

 

[EazyWeazy3]

Where the hell is the serial number for the Kinect?

I'm trying to register the device so I can get the adapter, but my goodness, I must be blind.

 

[LilJoka]

Just want to try this controller out on PC!

 

[PrinceKee]

I want this, but I really wish it was black. Just never liked white consoles...

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

It may just be the best looking console to date.

 

[Kastrioti]

Beautiful console, love that it has a physical on button. Hopefully we see some nice trade in deals at different retailers.

 

[Pachimari]

So is this not coming out in black at all?

 

[Bessy67]

So is this not coming out in black at all?

It'll likely eventually have a black version and probably some other special edition game tie-ins but for now it's just white.

 

[Vanillalite]

so how is this 299 with a uhd player when regular uhd players are going for over 400 i dont get it

Regular UHD player market has few players and it's been niche. So there's big markup.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I don't like the holes, but function over form is fine

 

[icespide]

Read the previous page. Was their seriously a rumor that it wouldn't include a controller? lol

yeah some idiot made an entire thread about it

 

[LowSignal]

He addressed this in vid. Still using 2.4 GHZ propitiatory signal to speak to xbox.

thanks, I had hopes for some bluetooth headset action

 

[T.O.P]

yeah some idiot made an entire thread about it

ahah

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Stunning.

With that black bottom it's going to look like its floating inside my entertainment unit.

Trading in my 1TB for this. EB Australia doing a good deal.

 

[brawly]

The first video made this seem much smaller. Looks nice though.

 

[kingwingin]

Surprised they didnt announce a gears 4 themed console.

Console looks slick tho! Love the usb port on the front.
