Maybe I'm in the minority, but I want a black one.

Xbox One S has additional CPU/GPU power, games can look and run better

So just put in my preorder for the S. I like what MS are doing here with this, the Scorpio and PC; basically they are telling me that any investment I make in games carries with me throughout my HW choices and that is a great thing.

Exactly. Thread full of people freaking out about a possible slight bump in performance for some games that Microsoft didn't even mention, acting like its a new iteration.
A little off topic but I'm curious to how many HDMI out ports the Scorpio will have if the rumors of it supporting both Vive and Rift are true. You would need at least 2 if you were to have a headset and TV plugged in at the same time as well as possibly some dedicated USB 3.0 ports.

Doubt it's that big of a difference
I'd prefer it as well since everything else in my entertainment setup is black. Maybe I'll need to pick up a white PS4 to match. ;-)Maybe I'm in the minority, but I want a black one.

So it is the 1.5 that Phil isn't a fan of?

Instead of the Scorpio announcement, this could really hurt the current model.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Of course not, otherwise wouldn't they be shouting from the rooftop?

maybe same hardware but with higher clock?
So we don't know anything but we are quick to call out Phil? How things don't change...

Sounds like they upped the clock on Jaguar slightly. I believe there was some headroom on it when it taped out so this isn't too surprising.

The modest boost isn't even an advertised feature.

It's not a huge boost, but it'll help provide stability and consistency in texturing and framerates, possibly resolution.
Say, halo 5 scales resolution to maintain fps. With the S, it's being suggested that such a title wouldn't need to scale as much.

I imagine the current model will be phased out before the Scorpio releases. The S is definitely gonna be the new base model.

I'm just confused about how they said it launches at $299 this August, but now the "launch edition" this August is actually $399...with this 2tb hard drive..
When does the$299 one actually launch?

Yeah what moron spread that it wasn't going to come with a controller. The damn thing was advertised with the controller.

What do you mean? If this story is true, it's a small upgrade, with 4k...and gpu cpu bumps...
That's the small upgrade he said he wasn't a fan of...Scorpio on the other hand is exactly what he said...
It's this thing people do that gets threads locked because it's silly and pointless.

I'm referring to an upgrade of the One S specs compared to the One. This isn't a Scorpio thread.

They probably didn't talk about it because it probably just makes the console equal to the PS4. Not really a message you want to talk about publicly, "Guys, we finally matched the PS4!" I am guessing a slight GPU boost and a CPU clock boost to 2.1Ghz.

How do you feel about the HDMI in?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they told us to stop doing that.
Like a Apple S or other Smartphone.
This gen never fails to disappoint me.
Xbox Controller S just came through a rip in time space , all the way from 2002 to kick you in the face
Xbox 360 S also turns up from 2010, paid you a visit in your sleep and slapped you around
Equal to the PS4 is a big jump, close the gap somewhat I can buy.

Oh Ok sorry I didn't knew let me edit my post, thanks for the heads up
Someone was saying September for the 1TB and the 500GB. It was in another one of the slim threads.

I'm surprised and happy for people that use it!
really thought Kinect would be in and hdmi in would be out but I was wrong
Well, I know what the Slim has lol
The talk about Kinect and such had me wondering how many ports will be on the back/front of the Scorpio. My bad for the confusion.
Edit: just saw your edit. I wonder if they would consider hiding an HDMI out along with a USB 3 on the front to make it easy to plug a VR headset in that way.

Yep. 2 TB in August. 1 TB and 500 GB in September.
I edited as your replied haha.
Because this model seems to be better in every way, has a good price and will be released soon.
Xbox three quarter owners will be where they would be, regardless of the two additional consoles. They will get 100% of the games with 100% of the content running at the same framerates as they always would. The S and Scorpio owners will just get some improvements.

Yep. It's a win for everyone in the Xbox ecosystem.
I'm confused I guess. wouldn't Microsoft rather sell the S than the old fat?

Are there any XB1 owners considering getting an S and a Scorpio? 0_o
