Xbox One S 500GB Halo Collection Console Bundle previews

The main advantages of the new ‘S’ console is that it is smaller, has no external power brick, has added bluetooth for the controller (excellent for Windows PCs), & adds ultra-HD 4k playback and blu-ray disc support. Although it isn't advertised, the ‘S’ console also adds wireless 802.11ac, rather than just dual-band a/b/g/n as on the previous model, for much faster wifi. There are some other slight performance tweaks (sata III internal HDD connection & slightly higher gpu clock frequency) which will see a very minor improvement in some games but overall the gaming experience will be the same as on the original console. One negative about this version over the original is that it loses the dedicated Kinect port although it does gain an IR output on the console itself (handy for controlling other devices). An adapter can be purchased separately for the Kinect but it is bulky and requires it to be plugged into the wall for power (I know most people don't care for Kinect, but it is superb for Skype calls and voice control). The console can now also be stood vertically (with additional stand) as well as horizontally. Overall, a very nice redesign! :)

Changes from the OG Xbox one are nice, but only having the option of White for a color sucks. It may start out white, but give it 6 months and it'll start turning Dull white-grey. I know there is the gears console but i don't want that.
