Microsoft Announces The Xbox One S


During Microsoft’s E3 press conference, they kicked off the show by revealing a slimmer version of the Xbox One, titled Xbox One S. Microsoft says that the Xbox One S will be 40% smaller than the first model of the console and will feature an internal hard drive with up to 2 TB, an integrated power supply, a new wireless controller with textured grips and increased wireless range. The Xbox One S will retail for $299 and will go on sale in August.

UPDATE 6/15/16 - According to Xbox exec Matt Lapsen via Xbox Wire, the Xbox One S doesn’t support Kinect right out of the box. "In order to make the Xbox One S as compact as possible and make all of these updates, we removed the dedicated Kinect port from the back," The console will still support Kinect, but requires the "Xbox Kinect Adapter for USB connection," which Microsoft will be giving away for free to those who request one.
