Probably offer a Elite One S down the road.
Bundle it with an Elite controller too so it costs even more than Scorpio.

Any videos of the stand being used or unboxed?

So the original XBO didnt have a button for power? What did it use? A touch panel like early PS3's? It's weird that they would go back to that as they are expensive.
I think it looks great and want it. But if I get it then it will be the only white console I own, sitting next to the other four black ones. For the sake of maintaining color monotony I'll pass.

It has a capacitive touch button rather than a physical button like they moved to on the XBOs.
I'm guessing late August/early September to go with the design your own ones.

They use it at the end of the video in the OP.
Yeah, I'm getting it but I really wish it was in black. Or at least silver/grey...
It's in the OP
Yep.

Depends what you want to spend. Neo and Scorp are going to be obviously more expensive.
get an S and an external hdd. best of both worlds

That's a really nicely designed slim but the scorpio being real means I have to wait and see.
I'm probably skipping the Scorpio. By the time it releases you'll likely be able to boot a windows 10 PC directly to the Xbox interface and use it exactly as you would a console. My current train of thought is to get the S now for the 4k video stuff as well as access to my Xbox games and in 2-3 years build a PC for gaming.I want the UHD player

Do you still need to be connected to the Internet, when you start the console for the first time, like you have to on the normal Xbox One?
What do you mean for updates and such?

I'd love to get one, but I'm not sure I can handle another console. I feel like I "made my choice" when I got a PS4 as a secondary system. It sure looks nice though, but I want a black one too.

No and yes. You need an Internet connection when you start the console for the first time. You can not play games until you did the setup with Internet connection. You need to download the patch before you can Xbox one games while being without a connection to the Internet
Probably if there's important updates.
Xbox One had to patch all the DRM crap they backtracked on so this will be different.

Nice looking. Hope neo can pull off a slick look too

I would buy one if it was in black but I can't do the white

Man, I don't know what it is about it but I want it so bad. I don't even touch my Xbox One but I love the design here and knowing that it plays UHD Blu-rays and with needing a player, I'll get it for that alone.
My entire AV setup is black but I think the white looks cool and will by eye catching putting it in the center. It also feels like a throwback to the 360 which I like.
Now if Gamestop would just offer a trade in deal. $100 as it stands right now is a big nope.

That circle aside, its a very nice looking box.
In black, that will be almost indistinguishable from the fat PS2
I just hope someone does >_>
There's still no such thing as an offline profile on the One, you're still going to need to connect the S to the internet

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
That is one beautiful looking console. Wish the vent wasn't that obvious somehow though, other than that, this is probably the prettiest looking xbox console so far (including all variants of the 360).

Tablet or smartphone using smartglass app. The Controller can be used as well.
