So no graphic upgrade. No Ssd as standard 4K video only and nothing about VR

I think this is just to reduce the consoles size, update the HD and maybe get some sales for those that want a 4K player in their homes, as that is something the PS4 hasn't got, so it'll capture some sales from Sony in that regard.

Project Scorpio...

Joop · 13 Jun 2016 at 19:03

So the Xbox one S should have been the Xbox one to start with. Talk about playing catch up to PS4

So they caught Sony napping here. They say NEO won't be at E3, now do they change things and say they were bluffing or what.....

Boom #scorpio #dropsmic

Scorpio could be very interesting.

It already sounds like they caught Sony out by announcing 4K gaming. The Neo is only going to do 1080p from accounts so far.

They had to do somethinghg risky, they are so far behind this console race. This is coming from an Xbox fan as well.

Think I will finally be tempted to get an xbox one and maybe stick with the current PS4, is it confirmed or almost certain that both new consoles will have a 4k player inside?

The new Xbox One S has 4K video (streaming and discs) and if that has it, then Scorpio will, too. Dunno about PS4 stuff yet.

From E3 i think i'll be buying these:-

- Forza Horizon 3
- Battlefield 1
- State of Decay 2
- probably a Scorpio next Christmas

Was it only Tekkan Tag 2 & Limbo that are free for gold members or did i miss any other games?

yep. But the 4K player is going to overtake Sony as the current PS4 has no 4K player..

and I doubt Sony are going to introduce a PS4 with a 4K player this E3 so MS have that one in the bag...

The NEO from Sony could change in spec after the Scorpio announcement but as said, the x1 is so far behind Sony - the 4K player is a good idea as it will mean a few will think, hmm 4K TV, 4K player and a games console all in one. Yeah that'll do me, sold.

PS3 did very well on back of its blu ray player.

I cant see this making much difference unless 95% of gamers decided to go out and buy a 4k TV now. Most current console owners will stick with what they have got and then invest maybe in 4k tech when Scorpio and Neo are released.
No doubt sales will improve for xbox one though, but overtake the current PS4, Im not so sure.

As a 4k player and HDR ability, its the cheapest player on the market.
So could get a lot of interest from AV people.

ic1male · 13 Jun 2016 at 19:42

I missed the pricing of the S amongst all the hubbub. It's available in August.

UPDATE: UK Xbox One S pricing has been confirmed. The 2TB launch edition will cost £349/€399; the 1TB edition £299/€349; and the 500GB edition £249/€299.

Nice prices, tempted to get the 1tb but I have no idea how the games install on the xbox one, do they require the disk to play still like the ps4.

It's the same, Ken. Put the disc in, game installs and runs from HDD. Disc is required at the start of each launch for verification.

Raymond Lin · 13 Jun 2016 at 19:49

I'm not getting it, don't have a 4K TV or any 4K materials.

Scorpio it is then.

yep, insert disc and game installs. apart from when it needs an update to the base game, and then you must wait for the update to install, which IMO is a right PITA.

But other then this, its the same, does seem to take longer then PS4 but TBH its not that long, the updates if they are larger updates can take a while depending on internet speed.
