"Sleeker. Slimmer. Sharper." That's the promise behind the Xbox One S, and this streamlined device certainly delivers a heavyweight entertainment experience that matches the hype.
The Xbox One Slim is living proof that you don't need a monster console to have huge fun. The console is 40% smaller than traditional Xbox consoles but lets you do everything you want to do, and play every game you want to play. With its internal power supply and 1TB of internal storage, the Xbox One S is one of the most advanced Xbox models ever released.
4K Ultra HD offers four times the resolution of standard HD. Given that standard HD is pretty cool, you would have to think that 4K Ultra HD is mind-blowing. It is! It delivers the clearest, most realistic video possible. You can stream 4K content on Netflix, or check out an Ultra HD Blu-ray movie in stunning visual fidelity with High Dynamic Range.
To experience richer, more vibrant colours in your favourite games, you really need High Dynamic Range. The higher contrast ratio between lights and darks means a stunning layer of visual depth is added to your games, making the experience truly dramatic and exciting.
The all new Xbox Wireless Controller looks as cool as it performs. The sleek, streamlined design, textured grip, and Bluetooth for gaming on Windows 10 devices, gives you greater control than ever before. You'll enjoy custom button mapping and improved wireless range, and be able to plug in any compatible headset with the 3.5mm stereo headset jack. This controller is not just new - it's a major leap ahead!

This is a great Ultra HD Blu-ray player, especially for gamers.
Nearly flawless as an Ultra HD Blu-ray player (in terms of video quality; that is; Can stream 4K video from the internet; HDMI input for connecting...
Conventional media remote control costs extra; Loads discs slower than dedicated UHD Blu-ray players
The Xbox One S is more than a console – it's a great Ultra HD Blu-Ray player.
Slick new look; Strong input/output selection; Ultra HD Blu-ray support; Enhanced compatibility with Windows 10; Attractive pricing
Not as small as expected; Hardware still slower than PlayStation 4; Cortana is disappointing
The Xbox One S is a sexy, slick game console and Ultra HD Blu-ray player. The compact, quiet, and capable hardware makes for a natural companion for 4K HDR TVs beyond the media players already on the market.
There'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.
Looks great; Smaller; 4K and HDR support
No SSD option; Might be better to wait for Project Scorpio
The Microsoft Xbox One S is a very welcome upgrade to Microsoft's game console and all-round entertainment system. 40% smaller, and with an internal power supply, it's a much nicer-looking box.
It's tricky whether to recommend the Xbox One S. On the one hand, if you're already an Xbox One owner, it doesn't offer many new features above the original - especially if you don't have a 4K or HDR TV.
The Xbox One S is a great console. In many ways, it's the console the Xbox One should have been the first time round. It's gamer-focused, compact and stylish, and doesn't force you to buy Kinect.
As you would expect for a system that is whiter than Santa's beard, the Xbox One S comes in a slick, minamilist, white box. Open said box and you are presented with a series of smaller white boxes, as well as the system itself, which is covered in - yep, you guessed it - a white sleeve.
4K Ultra HD playback; Slicker and slimmer console
Only 1.6TB of 2TB HDD usable
Having read the WHF review I think they have been a bit harsh on this bit of kit, first of all the game pay is very smooth and picture quality on Tomb Raider was up there with the best of them and as a blu ray player I found the picture to be as good as any player I have seen costing up to ￡150 and...
The best console you can buy, but for how long?
You favourite games in pin-sharp detail; The cheapest 4K Blu-ray player you can buy; Sleek new design; sans power brick
PS4 still has the better exclusives; Controller not rechargeable as standard
