I have used a few consoles and set-top boxes. This is the best experience I had. I play games, BluRays, access local & remote media and use streaming services all in one box. Highly recommended.
"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!

Snapped this up with ￡70 off so super happy as it's an expensive buy! We own an Xbox one already so know they are fab and have purchased from ao numerous times so know their products and customer service is brilliant. We can buy from them confidently knowing we are well looked after.
We have 4 in our house, we love it! #sweepstakes
Boot-up from a completely powered-off state takes a minute or two. However, since the Xbox One is designed to be always on, at least to some extent, editors at Polygon.com say that once you activate its suspend mode startup takes just under 10 seconds.

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 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.
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.
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?
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.
