Its not a good price
Its not a bad price

Its just THE price :smiley:

Bargain for a UHD Blu-ray player though!

Pay crap loads more for a bigger phone, pay crap loads more for a smaller console.

If you need it to be small and have a 4k / UHD TV this one might be worth getting, otherwise just for gaming, get a 1tb regular Xbone.

​no you don't! so long as tv firmware has HDR update applied !

​fleeced me already!

Lol

To be fair I don't think many people who liked the comment knew what I was on about. It's a WWE thing. The guy on there says I'm not a good guy, I'm not a bad guy, I'm just the guy.

I don't get it, is it something I've missed that going on in the world?

LOL I'm so glad others get this :smile:

Thank you...

Available for pre-order from base.com

Thanks for that. Looks like something else I may need to consider on a tv I still can't afford!

sold out already at full rrp wtf

Yep seems like out of stock

Is it sold out? cant see buy button

Apparently this one supports 1080p at 60fps :wink:

Does look nice - like a piece of high end hi-fi.

Like forza

Only reason buying Xbox is cuz of exclusives or else it's ps4 for majority

I'm a PlayStation man myself, but I have to say I think that's the best looking console ever made. What a beautiful piece of design. :sunglasses:

I'm not sure you've read that quite right. XBone S supports HDR10, whilst the LG OLED 2016 series supports both Dolby Vision and HDR10. I think what is causing confusion is the fact the LG's are the only UK-available TVs to support DV so far (I think), but that is not at the cost of dropping HDR10, they can do both.

HDR10 is the standard adopted by UHD certification, not DV (which arguably looks even better). In short, XB1S UHD movies will look great in HDR10 on LG OLEDs (and other compatible TVs). This handily explains the difference and LG OLED stance:

Well, that's how i read it anyway... :man:

Surely ... If you have an Xbox One ... you would swap it for the new Xbox One S if Microsoft offered the option for free?
There is no argument against that scenario that I can think of other than its' colour?
And if you are buying your first Xbox One, then surely the 'S' would be what you buy if both were the same price?
Again, there is no argument against that scenario that I can think of, other than colour?
No one is claiming the existing one is better looking or that they like the 'huge' external power pack ... are they?
So the only real debate is financial ... Is the new console worth the extra money if buying new or should you sell your existing console to contribute toward buying the new one? Or will you just buy the new one as-well? - I envy those who can do so without thinking that's too extravagant.
I've changed my mind about selling to upgrade - I can't be bothered to sell partly because 2nd prices are IMO low and I don't want to make up the difference) HOWEVER I understand those who are .. The 'S' is very pretty and I do want one, if only to have the latest variation, but I am simply not willing to be drawn into 'upgrading' as the PS4 is my favoured console and the Xbox One (used only now for 'exclusives' - of which I am yet to find one I particularly enjoy) sits there devaluing with every letter I type.

500gb/1tb release in December

WWE?

Personally not bothered about a 4K Blu-ray player.
4K TV (in my opinion) isn't all it's cracked up to be. A lot of studios can't even get Blu-ray conversion right, let alone upping old films to 4K.
Prime example - the Ghostbusters double pack released in 2014.
First film looks HORRIBLE on Blu-ray and that's supposedly a remaster. Meanwhile GB2 looks amazing.

Overall, not bothered about the Xbox One S.
Only got my Xbox One last Christmas and it's build is far better than the original 360, which only saw a Slim release because of the noise and other hardware issues.
My 10 yr old son is after one for Xmas this year, and in a straight run between paying £185 for a standard One with a choice of game and £250 for a Slim with no game, it's an easy choice, especially when his Live Gold account already has 20 Xbox One games ready and waiting for him.

Every cross platform game with a PC release will have 4K compatibility and the ability for better graphics, just like on the PC.

No worries, I often forget 2006 was ten years ago to :stuck_out_tongue:

Link please!

​thanks cat beans and pgilc. I think I'll wait to see how it all pans out with the Neo, Scorpio, and NX whilst playing Zelda on my Wii U ( when it finally arrives).

I wouldn't know about the Ghz connections as the whole house is cable connected so there's no drop in connection speeds here. Real gamers use wired connection. And who buys next gen to play previous gen low res games? I'm just messing with you anyway. A friendly banter. Lol. The kids play the ps4 and the xbox one. Pc gaming is the best.. especially on a 34 inch 21:9 aspect monitor, SSD and a GTX 980.

i like both consoles lets just leave it there, im playing on my ps4 right now actually, and mobile gaming not for me lol

In my opinion mobile gaming is best. I say mobile gaming, because my phone can run a decent FPS at 2560*1440p resolution and many other games at the full resolution at 60FPS. iPad, too. Mobile gaming is clearly the most energy efficient way to game. So if you are concerned about energy foot print like me then pick an iPad.

It wasn't as they don't take payment right away so it will be whatever the exchange right is at time of dispatch

Now he's changed it to an Xbox s waste man ha

Your opinion, keep it to yourself

because im to lazy to change it, and i really don't care what you think xbox is superior! the controller,5ghz wifi,ps4 has 2.4ghz which is slower, the interface,the xboxlive service, the better free games per month, the backwards compatibilty with xbox360 games which also doubles the free games a month, im only keeping my ps4 because of uncharted 4 and the fact psn sony took 12 month payment for psn plus :neutral_face:

Yet you have a PlayStation Logo. lol. I only have an Xbox One because I was given it as a gift. The last xbox I really enjoyed over a PlayStation was the original one. But for me PS3 and the PS4 won the following battles. Crasy how they're better. smaller and manage to have the PSU built in. The xbox 360 even with it's external PSU still managed to overheat.

people who are waiting for the scorpio i hop you have deep pockets its gonna cost ALOT!!!!!!! and all for upscaled games? and i say upscaled as there will only be a couple native 4k games. i would be happy with all games at 1080p @60fps first. and i am xbox through and through!!!

I know it still wouldnt justify the price difference, but you get a vertical stand with the 2tb which you dont with the 500gb.

Catbeans - you're right. I was way out there on my historic figs. Apologies.

RE: cost of consoles i still think at least on the base console they're breaking even at best, hence why the pricier ones have a bigger price difference for what should be cheapish components. Its like Dell with their cheap laptops - its on the upgrades that they make their money.

Really glad I didn't buy this from the Microsoft France store for 249.99EUR after the 150EUR discount. Would've only saved myself £30-40!
Edit: just noticed the France one was a 2tb version so not comparable

I was using hyperbole but i don't know where you are getting £500 ten years ago from? I have a Samsung Spin point F1 1TB I still use for data ( a pretty good drive at the time) and i have had it ~8+ years and I payed well under £100. As someone that has games on both PC and console for two decades I remember getting a xb360 and wtf'ing at the small size of the hardrive conpared to my PC even then.

As for the console markup, there is only a price difference of about £10 to £15 between 500gb and 1tb drives of the standard put into consoles, now go look up the prices of 500gb and 1tb consoles and tell me there isn't a hike.

Its not a good price
Its not a bad price

Its just THE price :smiley:

I'm actually buying this from this site . Don't have an xboxone one atm and the best part of it is that is has 4k player built in . Much better value than current older version of the console . But to call this a "DEAL" when its at recommend retail price is crazy.

10 years ago a 1TB drive would have cost you between £500 and £1,000.

There is no "markup" on consoles - they are sold at very close to cost because of the massive profit made from the games.

My ps4 is great for gathering dust

Scorpio question, will all the shiny extras and 4k games affect the amount of HDD space required? especially DLC. This will influence my decision to buy in the 4k gen or not.

Yup by far the cheapest 4K blu ray player

4K Blu Ray is the way forward.

Microsoft wont drop the Xbox One S when Scorpio arrives, just like they didnt drop the 360 after the Xbox One arrived. Heck, only stopped making 360s this year!!

So 18 months before Scorpio gets here, and say another 2.5 years after that, minimum, the Xbox One will be around until we're into 2020.

Tbh I have no clue whatsoever, people will somehow find a way after its released

4K bluray is a DOA format. The HDR support is patchy, it's too early for a widely accepted standard. The extra HDD space can easily be sorted on a old machine with a cheap 2TB portable drive.

Basically, it's an ok upgrade but I would hardly go out of my way for it or pay the extra for it, considering Microsoft are extremely likely to drop the machine like a hot potato once Scorpio arrives anyway....

I really wanted to like the XBone but no 1080 no sale, keeping PS4 as it plays most games in 1080 instead of 900 odd :smiley:

​Theres a lot more than 4... He just pointed out 4 as an example

Here is some info on the hdr version that Microsoft has gone with as there are different types.

http://www.polygon.com/2016/6/21/11996358/xbox-one-s-hdr-color-hdr10

​It still plays games at 1080p, just like the Xbox One does right now.

​You might want to upgrade the Xbox, because PS4 Neo will be the underpowered console this time around, and it doesn't natively support 4K, it upscales it.

Assume no. M$ want you to use external USB.
If it has a hybrid drive like the Elite, games will load quicker. My friends Star Wars Battlefront loads slightly faster than it does from my external USB.
White isn't doing it for me.
I don't mind my current Xbox. So I'll wait for the Scorpio. May upgrade my PS when the 4.5 comes out.

Not really a good price cold! it's just normal RRP GameStop uk had this for £229 for pre order plus 500GB is way to small now

Is the 4K/UHD player the main reason to get the s over the regular Xbox One?

for the good stuff of the box, it's not compatible with LG 4k OLED TVs

read that t'other day, crazy but true

any word if the internal hdd is changable on the xboxone s? that's 1 feature i like on the ps4

Exactly why I'm buying one, normal XB1 can go in the kids room

Fair enough, but those are the only four you listed. I just went on what you put good Sir.

seems decent price for a 4K Blu-ray player

The Samsung UBD-K8500 is about £400

theres more not like you will even bother to research them yourself is it , i **** give up with these idiots

Forza Horizon 2 1080p @ 30fps [n]
Exclusive
Forza Motorsport 5 1080p @ 60fps [n] Exclusive
Forza Motorsport 6 1080p @ 60fps Exclusive
FIFA Soccer 16 1080p @ 60fps 1080p @ 60fps

​I am the same except in reverse. The Ps4 has been relegated to the bedroom for media. I also download the PlayStation Plus games but never play them as anything decent they do give away I have already on steam. The elite controller is just such a joy to use. When I try playing with a Ps4 controller it feels so cheap and unintuitive. I do have VR on pre-order out of curiosity though so you never know I might come back.

because it's true, PS4 games look so washed out, it annoys me

Nice

is this not rrp

The only thing you have just proved, especially with the IGN link provided, is that the PlayStation 4 has far, far more games in 1080p than the Xbox One.

You did provide me with a heartedly chuckle though, with the 'the colours on Xbox One are so much better' line.

Unlike the previous consoles (PS3, Xbox 360), there was never anything fundamentally poor about Xbox One's original hardware. It wasn't loud under full chat, it didn't generate tonnes of heat or guzzle lots of power. It was made to be left on for ages and had great reliability. It was just big. So although this was inevitable I can't see why you wouldn't just pick up the older machines for much less

xboxone is already 1080p

​I have both consoles and have compared both of them with same games, ps4 looks better.

So the new xbox isn't 1080p? if so then its not worth it as I have no use for a 4k player.

that's funny because i only turn the ps4 on to redeem ps plus games lol

Will this play games in 1080p or will the graphics still be worse than ps4? apologies if my my comment is stupid.

just wait it out, gamestop will get more stock for £229

Pay crap loads more for a bigger phone, pay crap loads more for a smaller console.

Well, if you don't have a time machine then there's not much point bringing it up.

no it's out in late august

Yes but this comes in end of september, whilst the 2tb one comes in august

lol it was that price for like 4 days on gamestop, you had plenty of time to preorder it at the time the offer was out

this was £229 from gamestop !!!

And people said RRP weren't deals. :smirk:

Is this the Xbox One 2 - the one thats as powerful as the PS4 so you can play VR games - or is this still going to be obsolete in a few months time?

I heard graphics might be a little better then original xbox one as it also supports hdr.

blu-ray

this is the cheapest 4k blue ray player on the market. you get to play games too.

Do they take payment immediately or on dispatch?

Which is exactly why I will be getting one and replacing my current Xbox One :smile:

If you need it to be small and have a 4k / UHD TV this one might be worth getting, otherwise just for gaming, get a 1tb regular Xbone.

Bargain for a UHD Blu-ray player though!
