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

- 4K video playback
- Streaming from Netflix
- Amazon
- HDR gaming and video support
- 4K upscaling of 1080p games
- Not a real 4K gaming console at all

Microsoft Xbox One S review
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
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.- 4K Ultra HD playback
- Slicker and slimmer console
- Only 1.6TB of 2TB HDD usable
Microsoft Xbox One S
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.
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.
