Ok thanks, original it is.
I only want it for exclusives and blurays/netflix. I cant do with any buzzing fans watching TV.
got plenty of space for the original as well and the colour will match everything else.

Nice one
Its a shame about the fan noise in the S, I know some are perfectly happy and have one which is silent but there is a clear problem with a lot of the S models currently.

Here I was thinking the S is always quieter. I'd buy one, but it would also require a bit more spending to make the room for it (buy a new monitor, send my current one and the XB360 or the XB1 downstairs to my brother's PC to retain space). How is the XB1 to PC streaming? It would be handy if one person was using the screen the XB1 was plugged into and another wanted to play. Though the 'Xbox Play Anywhere' does the same thing but better.
Target are selling digital keys for Forza Horizon 3 for only £16! 
It's a "Play Anywhere" title so it will work on both XB1 & Windows 10

Are all the 500gb/1tb original xbox ones now in the matte black?
I know it used to be just the 1tb.
Thanks

Yep I've switched from the original to S.
The original was definitely completely silent.
I have the S, apart from the air sound which is normal for any large exposed fan, the bearing in the fan is definitely noisy with a buzzing sound.
The problem is that it isn't bad enough for me to go through the hassle of getting it swapped and that might not even solve it.

I've had two S models both loud fans. First one actually wasn't to bad but thought I would risk an exchange as I wasn't happy, second console was even louder.
Ended up getting a refund and in the process of getting an original xbox one. Don't need 4k anyhow and by the time I have my equipment 4k ready, I will likely get the Scorpio or PS equivalent.
You can grab them via the web if you want:

MX vs ATV Reflex: https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-IE/product/MX-vs-ATV-Reflex/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80254510829
The One S has a 7% performance bump which is useful though.
I don't watch any video on a console so fortunately not too much of an inconvenience either.
Such a simple mistake of using poor quality fans.

Got my original one today. Silent console, only hear fans operating if I stick my head over the top grill. no clicks or buzzing, brilliant.
Can't say Ive noticed any performance differences so far even if there is on the newer S model.
Everything seems the same so far, just a lot bigger console!
Although 2 of the trigger buttons on the pad (top two) make a click when pressed, is this how they were on the old console?
I might get one of the newer pads if they work on the older consoles?

Yes all the pads are compatible through the Xbone family, even the upcoming Scorpio.

Cool good to know. cheers
Anyone tried the free baseball game yet? I've played at default ego and won 30-6 then upped to 25 and won 11-1. Considering the games last ages it's quite a lot of messing about to pick the correct difficulty. It's a shame as the game play is pretty decent, not sure I can be bothered to keep changing it after every game to make it a challenge but not too tough.
New features rolling out to Preview members today include Arena on Xbox Live, special updates to Achievement Rarity and Looking for Group.

Further to this I've received my return and the fan is much better! Very happy with my new console!
Previous fan most definitely had a buzzing problem

Anybody else find the drive a little noisy on the S when watching a bluray? I bought the S for 4K blurays mainly. The drive noise is starting to grind on me a little when trying to watch a film at night. (when we can't have the surround on)
