The Xbox One Slim got leaked one day before Microsoft's E3 press conference on neogaf. Here is the Neogaf post in which the leak originated: http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1232191. Before I talk about the specs I will state that this was originally reported on b.net here: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/206504930?page=0&sort=0&showBanned=0&path=0
So, specs:
On the ad, it says [b]4k Ultra HD video output[/b]. That can be a huge plus for this new console but how many games will use it is still up to question.
Also on the ad it says a [b]streamlined controller[/b]. I am assuming they just made needed upgrades to the controller like when they redesigned it with an audio jack and better bumpers.
One of the last things the ad says is [b]vertical stand[/b]. This was something that the Xbone couldn't do due to its size or venting capabilities.
On the picture we can see a front facing USB port, front facing IR blaster, and front facing sync button. There is also a button up by the disk slot which may be the disk button. Hopefully this means that the new Xboxes will move away from these horrid touch buttons.
The controller seems to just look nicer but we aren't sure of the specific changes yet, however don't expect anything too big as large controller changes are supposedly coming with the Xbox One Scorpio's new controller.
The console itself looks smaller in comparison to the controller but I doubt we will see an internal powerbrick*(see: Update1) so the Xbox One can retain that title of being silent unlike the PS4.
So, [b]what are your thoughts on this new console?[/b] I personally think it looks awesome and I will definitely upgrade my Xbox to this or a Scorpio.
[spoiler][b]Update1:[/b] There is a new photo on Neogaf and the powerbrick is supposedly internal. I don't know what this will do to the loudness of the Xbox but I hope it remains silent.[/spoiler]
Thank you for your time.

I'll wait for the scorpion.
-
Yeah, but it's white, so it won't run faster.

Oh another leak, all these leaks only days before E3, you might think those corperations would have better security by now. Or if one is cynical enough you might think they actualy leak these pieces of info on purpose, to build up intrest. Nah probably not. I think 4k is mainly for video output, playing 4k games requires a pricey PC, I doubt that a 500$ machine will be able to play 4k games at an acceptable framerate.
-
The slim isn't the scorpion, it wont run 4k. Its just a minimized of the xbo. If it did run 4k, i cant imagine it costing no less 500 at least... Which kind of defeats the point of doing a slim.
-
Did Microsoft have their conference yet?
-
No console will play any game in 4k at an acceptable frame rate for at least 4 generations. Unless microsoft/sony is willing to sell at a loss at least.

Still looks like a VCR.

Edited by Sapphire: 6/13/2016 1:25:14 AMI guess I'd buy it maybe if there is a good deal for trading in your Xbox One already. I could use the 2TB.... >.> But what? A "Scorpio" and this? I don't understand.
-
Looks nice but I don't think I'd buy it unless there was a very good deal on trading in an original Xbone
-
I wouldn't get it now as I'm fine with lower resolutions and the other things just don't seem that enticing to me for the price. Don't get me wrong though if someone wants this I'm not saying to not buy it.
-
Looks good i just got my x1 like 4 months ago so ill be waiting to get this or the Scorpio but looks cool...
-
I'll wait for the scorpio, though it does look pretty nice.
-
It seems pointless to me with the rumoured Scorpio to be honest. Would rather put that money aside and get something that is an actual upgrade.
