And supports HDR contrast on video and games
Vastly reduced physical footprint
4K & HDR streaming
HDR gaming
Xbox platform is steadily improving.
The editors didn't like
4K
Ultra HD Blu-ray and HDR settings only work with newer TVs
And may require some trial and error. The updated controller feels cheaper than its predecessor. Project Scorpio
Diverse Multimedia Options, 4K Blu-ray Player, Xbox Game Pass
Lacking in power, Weakest exclusive lineup
Microsoft nailed it on the second pass. A sleek redesign, built-in 4K Blu-ray Player and the fantastic Xbox Game Pass subscription service ensure that the Xbox One S is the best value console on the market...

Less expensive than the Xbox One S and just as capable for gaming, Can stream 4K HDR media,
Can't play Ultra HD Blu-rays, Blu-rays, DVDs, or disc-based games, Just as large as the regular Xbox One S
The Xbox One S All-Digital Edition is simply a One S game console without an optical drive for $50 less, but the trade-off isn't worth it...
Abstract: So you plopped down a pile of cash to buy a 4K TV, maybe even one that delivers high dynamic range. Awesome. Once you've wowed your friends and family with those lush demo files the manufacturer provided, you're going to want to splash some 4K movies acro...
Abstract: For decades, Nintendo's family-friendly video game consoles – and the worlds created within their unique games – have been beloved to adults and children alike. The New Nintendo 3DS XL aims to continue pleasing with upgraded hardware, improved 3D technolo...
Nearly flawless as an Ultra HD Blu-ray player (in terms of video quality, that is), Can stream 4K video from the internet, HDMI input for connecting and controlling a set-top box

This is a great Ultra HD Blu-ray player, especially for gamers...
What Microsoft needed to do with the Xbox One S is pretty itself up for newcomers that might be tempted by the PS4 Slim or the PS4 Pro. It needed to polish the rough edges of Xbox One's hardware flaws and provide some new technology for the latest display...
HDR gaming, UHD Blu-ray drive, Some apps support 4K/HDR streaming, Excellent controller, Price
Full HD resolution in games (upscaled to 4K), Still relatively high power consumption for streaming, Not as powerful as PS4 Pro, Still lacks 4K/HDR in several apps
Like Sony, Microsoft has released a mid-cycle console refresh. Unlike Sony, Microsoft has not made the GPU faster in any significant way. Still, you have to consider what Xbox One S is. It is not designed to be a new high-end game console because that con...

Reasonably sized - far smaller than Xbox One, Controller further perfected over Xbox One, Plays all Xbox One games, 4K video output, Ultra HD gaming upscaling
True 4K gaming isn't quite here yet, Kinect needs adapter to connect, Not a replacement for Xbox One (that'll come next year)
Several versions of the Xbox One S are available, including the Xbox One S with 500GB internal storage starting at $299 USD. Occasionally stores will be offering up special package deals with games for $249.99. One example that's popped up already is the...

Doens't support high-definition audio codecs such as Dolby TrueHD, Conventional media remote control costs extra, Loads discs slower than dedicated UHD Blu-ray players
This is a great Ultra HD Blu-ray player for most people, but home theater aficionados should steer clear. The game console won't stream high-def audio codecs such as Dolby TrueHD or Dolby Atmos today...
