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
Xbox One S Review: A Great Refresh, But No 4K Revolution
Who says you can't teach an old console new tricks? The Xbox One S is a much-needed refresh that sheds the glossy bulk from the original, revealing a sleeker, slimmer design that will look right at home in your living room.- Lighter
- sleeker chassis
- Available with 2TB of storage
- Can stream 4K content
- HDR support for videos and games
- Smartly redesigned controller
- Can't play games in 4K
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
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.
The Xbox One was built with a specific vision in mind, and it was one that included a whole lot more than games. From streaming videos to dollops of motion sensing in the form of Kinect, it aimed to be the centre of your living room - much like Microsoft envisioned the original Xbox to be, when it...

Xbox One S Gears of War 4 Limited Edition Review
While the Xbox One S is an amazing console, it just doesn't have a place, as it's such an incremental improvement. You should probably wait for Scorpio to get bigger changes.
Xbox One S review: Great console and 4K Blu-ray player for the budget concious
As an entry-level console, the Xbox One S comes jam packed with great features and offers a smooth user experience. It is well worth considering if you are looking for something to spin Ultra HD Blu-rays and haven't taken the plunge yet.- 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray support with HDR
- 4K Netflix and Amazon Video playback
- 1080p HDR gaming
- Great wireless controller
- No power brick
- Doesn't give you 4K gaming
- Slightly slower in operation to its beefier One X sibling
"good"

- just it i know
- no have diskdrive
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.
