E3 2016: Meet the Xbox One S
You may recall earlier that images of a slimmer version of the Xbox One were leaked ahead of Microsoft’s E3 briefing. Now, it’s official: Microsoft got its announcement in, and you’re looking at the new Xbox One S, which is indeed smaller — 40 percent smaller, technically — than the current model. The lesser footprint will allow you to safely use the system in an upright position with a stand that’s sold separately.
Even more impressive, the power supply has been integrated into the assembly, meaning you don’t have to worry about extra wires and a massive power brick taking up space near the TV. There’s also the upgraded hard drive: The Xbox One S comes with a new controller, which has textured grips and Bluetooth for connecting to your PC, and 2TB of storage space, twice the capacity of the original console.
Still, the most notable upgrade — apart from Microsoft swapping the black color scheme in favor of a white one — is 4K video playback and support for HDR (high dynamic range) content. That’s not to say you’ll be able to play games at ultra high-res, but if you own a 4K TV (congrats on being rich, by the way), owning an Xbox One S gives you one more option for displaying 4K content.
The new-and-improved Xbox One S arrives this August. Preorders are now live on Amazon. The 2TB launch edition will retail for $399 in the U.S., while the 1TB and 500GB versions will set you back $349 and $299, respectively.

The Electronics Entertainment Expo, or E3, has officially begun, and EA is up first to show us its upcoming lineup. One of the biggest thing to come out of the EA press conference has to be Titanfall 2.
The original Titanfall came out back in March 2014. It set the standard for the next generation of first-person shooters, introducing things like verticality, fast-paced multiplayer action, and, of course, Titans, giant mechs that players can pilot. Vince Zampella, CEO of Respawn Entertainment, came up to the EA stage to showcase everything new about Titanfall 2. (more…)
