Microsoft just sent their best video game console, The X-box One S.
This system here is a lot smaller than the original and Im very happy about this coming out not because its smaller form factor because it has 4K functionality. It doesnt have a gigantic power supply hooked up to like the Xbox One.
Physical design standpoint I really like this system a lot more than original. Xbox One has a glossy plastic on it thats just a gigantic fingerprint magnet and I have never wanted to clean it, all the buttons on the front are touch sensitive so they automatically turn on. I know that doesnt seem like the biggest issue in the world but when you use your console as much as I do, well you dont want those features to be part of the system.
Xbox One S has 3 USB ports, one at the front and two at the back. Now you get the nice grip on the controller, its not really soft plastic or rubberized or anything but it does give you a little bit of a textured feel so that the controller doesnt just slip out of your hand.
If you are playing certain games youre gonna get a lot more details than youve ever got in the past but this doesnt actually do that what it does do though is it utilizes the same kind of technology that 4K has and allows you to play older games in high dynamic range.
If youre looking to do 4K gaming, dont buy this system. If youre looking for 4K gaming wait for Scorpio.
