Xbox One S review: Great console, bad timing

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.
Pros:
  • Looks great
  • Smaller
  • 4K and HDR support
Cons:
  • No SSD option
  • Might be better to wait for Project Scorpio

Xbox One S review: smaller, better, whiter

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.
Pros:
  • 4K Ultra HD playback
  • Slicker and slimmer console
Cons:
  • Only 1.6TB of 2TB HDD usable

Xbox One S review: The right console at the wrong time

The ultimate question to ask about the Xbox One S is not whether it can do the job - it can - it's whether or not it's worth buying. And that depends on what camp you fall into. If you're a serious gamer that already has an Xbox (or a PS4 for that matter) then there's really no point.

Review: Microsoft Xbox One S

The Xbox One S is a mea culpa in the shape of a white plastic box. It takes all the stuff that didn't make sense about Microsoft's third proper games console and gives it a right royal heave ho.
