Get more than around 10 of them and you've filled the hard drive. There are two storage options available - 500GB and 1TB - which is pretty small, given how large games are these days. There are the additional USB 3.0 ports, an IR output if you want to add an external IR blaster instead of use the front-facing integrated one, optical audio and Ethernet ports too. You get two HDMI ports, one to input TV video, one output. On the rear, there is a full line-up of connections. However, we still find the latter to be a simpler option and more consistent. The gamepad pairing button has also made its way around the front.Īn IR blaster has been included, so you can have it control other electronics devices without having to use HDMI CEC connectivity. This makes it much easier to access when in a cabinet, for example. There are three USB 3.0 ports on the console and one of them is tucked away on the front of the box, rather than the side as with the old legacy Xbox One. And the power button is a physical clicker rather than touch.
The drive tray is neatly flushed on the left-hand side of the fascia, with a tiny white-on-white disc eject button almost hidden away. It looks neat, but we're AV cabinet kind of people so are happy to report that it tucks away nicely too. The machine can be sat upright, if you buy an optional stand. It is compact, elegant and there's not an enormous power brick in sight like with the original - it's inside the machine itself, hurrah! You just get a figure of eight lead in the box (along with an HDMI cable). The main model is all-white, although there are also plenty of special edition coloured and customised variants available too. Ethernet and dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11ac).It is, therefore, an excellent gaming device that is also a bona fide, all-in-one media machine that'll be good enough for most. The Xbox One S gives access to all the same games as its illustrious X sibling - albeit at a maximum of 1080p rather than 4K - yet is more affordable and still offers high dynamic range (HDR) gaming, 4K Blu-ray playback and video streaming services. Xbox has released an All Digital alternative with no optical drive though, if you're a download-only kind of player. Considering its beefier stablemate is over twice the price, this machine is more accessible. (Pocket-lint) - After the Xbox One X was released in 2017 you could be forgiven for thinking the lesser specced Xbox One S would be slowly phased out.
