Instead of the lumbering beast that we got, the Xbox One S is the version of the console that Microsoft should have released back in 2013. It’s superior in a variety of ways, making it an even more compelling alternative to Sony’s PlayStation 4.
The Xbox One S has a much more appealing enclosure, the option of a larger hard drive, a slightly redesigned controller, and some video benefits for owners of 4K TVs.
The 500GB model costs $300, £250, or AU$400; the 1TB model costs $350, £300, or AU$500; and the 2TB model costs $400, £350, or AU$549.
That last model is available in the United States starting today and includes a vertical stand worth $20 when purchased separately, while those with smaller hard drives will be available later in August, bundled with games such as Madden 17 and Mass Effect.
Has the Xbox One S been discontinued?
Microsoft has ceased production of the All digital version of Xbox One S and Xbox One X consoles. It’s possible that the Xbox One S and Xbox One X consoles are still being manufactured in non-digital form.
