Xbox One S - UHD Blu-ray player

The Xbox One just got a lot smaller. Announced today at E3 in Los Angeles (and leaked a day earlier), the new Xbox One S takes the original Xbox One, shrinks it down, and gives it a fresh coat of white paint (Microsoft calls it “robot white”). The result is a striking new design that stands in stark contrast to Microsoft’s previous consoles. The device is 40 percent smaller than the original Xbox One, according to the company, and also does away with the frustratingly bulky power supply that the Xbox line is known for. And unlike the original Xbox One, the new console also gives you some choice for how to display it, thanks to an optional vertical stand.

Outside of the new visual design, the Xbox One S also includes a few other improvements compared to its predecessor. Most notably, there’s 4K Ultra HD video support (including 4K Ultra HD Bluray) and HDR capabilities for both gaming and video. Meanwhile, one of the console’s USB ports has been moved to the front for easy access, along with the controller pairing button, and there’s a new built-in IR blaster. One thing has been removed, however: the Xbox One S doesn’t include a dedicated Kinect sensor port. If you want to hook up a Kinect for voice controls you’ll need a separate USB adaptor. (Microsoft says that there will be a program to offer the adaptors for free to existing Xbox One owners who decide to upgrade.)

“The Xbox One S for us was a realization that first, we want to make a smaller Xbox, but there was also some capability that we saw growing out in the market around HDR and 4K video,” Xbox head Phil Spencer says of the new device. “So we said, if we’re going to do an upgrade to our console, let’s go ahead and embrace some of the technologies that are coming and make those part of our core SKU.”

It’s not just the console that’s been refreshed: the Xbox One S also comes with a slightly upgraded version of the Xbox One controller. It features the same white color scheme as the console, as well as new textured grips on the back and the addition of Bluetooth, which both adds more wireless range and means you can use the controller wirelessly with a Windows PC. It’s a small upgrade, but very welcome.

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.

NOTE: he new Xbox Wireless Controller is included with all Xbox One S consoles and will be available worldwide for individual purchase for $59.99 USD.

Controller is now confirmed, their marketing is garbage that they needed to correct this.
As always they are lost at sea

Just saw they are allowing people to create their own custom controller and special order using Xbox design lab but I can only imagine the insane surcharge they are going to charge

Regardless it's idiotic to sell a console without a controller, just wait until Black Friday 2017 the system with controller and 2tb will be $299

As I posted above, and yet...

It is very confusing, the joys of livestream events. They could have packaged a better press release and non contradicting messages in their videos.

This is freaking awesome news!!!!

This, hopefully will do what the PS3 did for Bluray!!!

This will be the best player on the market, the fastest, and the cheapest!!

They should sell a lot of these!! No more excuses for guys with 4k TVS to not have an Ultra HD Bluray player!!!

Limited Edition 2TB is available to order now

Let's just focus on the fact that not only you're getting a great videogame system if you want it, but most of all, we're getting a quality Ultra HD player for 300 bucks, I'm so glad I waited. Panasonic's is ridiculously expensive, Samsung a bit much too, this is perfect.

[dvdmike]

Is there uk pricing yet?

[dvdmike]

Here is the Scorpio and I have that shirt Phil is wearing somewhere

[Tony208]

i guess this will be my third xbox one console

[Wiidesire]

I think I'll wait for the Xbox One Scorpio and skip the Xbox One S.
