Less than a day before E3 2016 Microsoft’s press conference, an image of the Xbox One Slim (aka Xbox One S) has shown up on NeoGAF. It definitely looks like it will be worth buying. Here’s why.
The Slim model will have a 2TB hard drive, and is said to be 40% smaller than the original Xbox One. It will also support 4K and HDR video playback. That is enough reason to buy it right there if you just bought a new TV. Also, word is that the power brick is internal. The controller is also supposed to be a bit more streamlined than the original.
However, before you make up your mind about the Slim console, you may want to step back and wait since Microsoft is also working on a more powerful version of the console, codenamed Scorpio. This version will be released in late 2017. I guess it won’t be long before Sony announces similar plans, and there are already rumors that Sony has a 4K version of the PS4 coming out soon too.
It looks like the Xbox One Slim will arrive in the next few months, maybe as soon as August. We will have more news later today at Microsoft’s E3 event.
