Microsoft has gone all digital in the gaming world. Their Xbox One S All-Digital Edition is nothing to do with discs, and everything to do with digital!


Gaming on the run

The biggest benefit of digital gaming is you can take the console everywhere and play anywhere. The Xbox One S All-Digital Edition will let you compile a library of digital games that will travel with you and be available in the cloud when you want them. 


Play a game the second it launches

You can pre-order and pre-install upcoming games so you're ready to play the moment they launch. To help you play that hot new game even sooner, the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition is ridiculously easy to set up.


Good things never change

While all-digital gaming platforms are the latest trend in this form of entertainment, it's good to know the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition retains features which have made previous editions so good. The biggest examples are 4K Resolution and Ultra HD video streaming.


A highly detailed experience

Xbox One S All-Digital Edition really ramps up those critical graphic details thanks to High Dynamic Range and Wide Colour Gamut.


Sounds as good as it looks

Spatial Audio, Premium Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio mean you have highly realistic surround-sound to add even more drama and fun to your games. 


A big, big bonus

For an instant digital game library, Xbox One S All-Digital Edition includes downloads of Minecraft, Sea of Thieves and Fortnite Battle Royale.

Xbox One S Review

I've been using the Xbox One S for a while now, and it's become clear that Microsoft has a winner on its hands. Not just because the device is better than its predecessor – and less expensive.
Pros:
  • Reasonably sized - far smaller than Xbox One
  • Controller further perfected over Xbox One
  • Plays all Xbox One games
  • 4K video output
  • Ultra HD gaming upscaling
Cons:
  • True 4K gaming isn't quite here yet
  • Kinect needs adapter to connect
  • Not a replacement for Xbox One (that'll come next year

Xbox One S review

Xbox One S is the pinnacle of what Microsoft set out to create with the original Xbox One. Despite releasing more than three years ago, the One S is everything a game console should be: sleek, powerful and well-stocked. It's not quite at Xbox One X's level in terms of performance, but the Xbox One S makes a compelling argument in how it balances power and price point.
Pros:
  • Vastly reduced physical footprint
  • 4K & HDR streaming
  • HDR gaming
Cons:
  • Needs adapter for Kinect
  • 4K gaming limited to upscaling

Microsoft Xbox One S

This is more like it. The Xbox One S is the version of the console that Microsoft should've first released back in 2013 instead of the lumbering beast that we got. It's better in a number of ways, making it even more of a worthy alternative to Sony's PlayStation 4 .
Pros:
  • The Xbox One S is a slick looking game console that's 40 percent smaller than the original and ditches the infamously gigantic power brick
  • It can display 4K video from streaming services and Ultra HD Blu-rays, and supports HDR contrast on video and games.
Cons:
  • 4K, Ultra HD Blu-ray and HDR settings only work with newer TVs, and may require some trial and error
  • The updated controller feels cheaper than its predecessor
  • Project Scorpio, the more powerful Xbox One successor, arrives in late 2017

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 planning on buying a 4K TV (or already own one).

Xbox One S review – a beautiful upgrade, but only for 4K fanatics

The Xbox One S is a major improvement over its predecessor in terms of style and footprint, and if you've bought – or about to buy – a 4K TV, it's definitely worth purchasing rather than the standard Xbox One, or indeed a dedicated 4K Blu-ray player.

Pleanty of space. Little pricie still.

Since we have a lot of 360 games and waited for this to up grade, yes we would re buy. Not sure any of these consoles are up to best expectations. With dedicated processor and huge storage we were expecting more from games on 4 G ultra tv.
Pros:
  • Slick size, quick set up, intuitive, plays blue rays, has cortana
  • Most games now play off unit
Cons:
  • Pricie
  • Slug at down loads
  • Not a lot of high definition 4G valued games yet
  • Comes with one controller

Xbox One S Gears of War 4 Limited Edition Review

While the Xbox One S is an amazing console, it just doesn't have a place, as it's such an incremental improvement. You should probably wait for Scorpio to get bigger changes.

Pros:
  • 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player
  • Slicker and slimmer console
Cons:
  • Only 1.6TB of 2TB HDD usable

Xbox One S Review

Microsoft has released a new Xbox, although it's not exactly a new console. The Xbox One S is a subtle upgrade to the existing , rather than a proper successor. Don't be fooled, though, because it has more than a few surprises in store.

  • Smaller than Xbox One
  • 4K game upscaling
  • It's a cheap UHD Blu-ray player
  • HDR compatible
  • Improved
  • grippy controller
Cons:
  • Not native 4K in games
