Great console, bad timingThere's no way to talk about the Xbox One S without talking about the console it's replacing, the Xbox One. So I will just start by saying the really obvious thing: the Xbox One S is what the original Xbox One should have been.Tha...

Microsoft's E3 presence this year was, in a way, not too different from their presence back in 2013 when the original Xbox One debuted. At both shows, Microsoft showed off a console that left people asking, “Who is this for?”The Xbox platform we have now...

4K streaming apps and 4K Blu-ray playback don't work out of the box, HDR video for gaming won't be available until this fall, No reason to buy unless you own a 4K TV...
Thanks to new software, more compact hardware and an excellent pack-in controller, the Xbox One S feels like a worthy successor to the older Xbox 360. If you already have an Xbox One, however, there's little reason to upgrade unless you're also planni...

After a fairly long wait, the Microsoft Xbox One S has finally arrived on sale and while this new revamp of the classic Xbox One is definitely not an entirely new gaming console –for that we'll have to wait for the Xbox Scorpio in 2017—it's definitely a b...

Excellent design, New controller is more user friendly, 4K video playback, Streaming from Netflix, Amazon, HDR gaming and video support, 4K upscaling of 1080p games...
Not a real 4K gaming console at all, No Kinect port built-in, Only comes with one controller, Overshadowed by Microsoft Scorpio...
The bottom line for the Microsoft One S is that if you're looking for a great game console and 4K Blu-ray/streaming media player combo, then this device is a great choice at a decent price. It offers plenty of value per dollar spent. If however you want...
