Microsoft Xbox One Slim 1TB
"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.
Size doesn't count
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.
Super clear, super real
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.
The lowdown on 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.
You're in total control
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!

There's much more that we'll likely learn between now and the end of E3. For now, what are your thoughts on this new system?
The Xbox One: Hardware Analysis & Comparison to PlayStation 4
It's nearly impossible for the Xbox One not to be a substantial upgrade over the Xbox 360. The fact that Microsoft could ship a single integrated SoC instead of a multi-chip CPU+GPU solution this generation is telling enough.
Xbox One Review
Simply put, the arrival of the Xbox One couldn't have come at a better time for users. Though people don't yet know it, the nature of entertainment has changed.
It's been a long time coming and Microsoft has finally brought the Xbox One into South Africa. It was released in Europe and the USA last year on 22 November and a few months later, it's finally at our shores. The question you need to ask yourself is, should you buy one?
Hands-on: The Xbox One Experience UI
The Xbox One has certainly come into its own this year, with a number of superb exclusives. However, one area where the console has lagged behind the PS4 has been its interface. It wasn't terrible, it just hasn't been the most intuitive or nearly as quickly accessible as Sony's console.- New features
- Streamlined
- More accessible
- Introduced backward compatibility
- Not all Xbox 360 games compatible yet
- Patching required
Over the past few months the media has been an absolute frenzy about the impending launch of the next generation Playstation and Xbox consoles. Now that they have been released in the US and Europe, initial feedback and reviews show both consoles already have huge followings.
The Newest Console: Xbox One S
What may appear to be a simple reduction in size and a few tweaks in order to make a big cash grab on unassuming gamers is actually quite the opposite. Gamers are much too smart and demand so much more out of each new console,.
Xbox One S review: Thinner, sleeker, prettier, better
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.
Microsoft Xbox One S review
Everyone loves a 'slim' hardware revision - and generally speaking, it's second-gen console revisions that tends to be the most successful (third-gen models can sometimes take the cost-cutting too far ).
All images: Alex Cranz/Gizmodo There were very few complaints when the original Xbox One was announced, and it failed to do 4K. In 2013 nobody really cared about HD's successor. Not unless they'd spent thousands of dollars on one of the few 4K TV sets available at the time.
