Yeah the UPS label I had to print off is for Germany ?? So it could spend more time in transit than actually being repaired.
The new Battlefield 1 special 1TB Military Green version:

Appropriate. Also, for us here, 2017 is the 100th Anniversary of the US entry into WWI...
Gorgeous console!
(*cough* new PS4's are ugly)
EDIT: And there's the 500GB Storm Grey Version!

Yeah I'm hoping so. There is another issue. I'm finding quite a few little glitches between it and my 4k tv too, things like losing TV picture when a standard blu-ray is played and I then have to adjust TV to 8 bit colour because the XBX1S seems to struggle switching between colour formats whilst staying in sync with the TV. I'm sure all these will be ironed out in time, but they are annoying.
I think between the PS4 Pro and Scorpio, I will upgrade to the Scorpio in the Spring. I will keep my PS4. It seems the Scorpio is going to be a big release. Wonder what the price tag will be.
I'm under the impression that it will be Holiday 2017.
Probably $399 - anything else would be considered too much money for a new console release.
Whether or not it will have an optical drive, is the next question... 😱

Yeah, last week at the MS Store, they got a display GOW 4 one in...
I hope this week they get the Battlefield 1 ones in to show...
Drool.
Now, all they need are Microsoft Design Studio XBox One S versions where you can pick the console color and the storage (500G, 1T, 2T, 3T) - then customize the controller (like you can now).
OMG...
(runs off screaming...)

I am trying to pick up a XB1 S but trying to find the best deal right now versus full price.
I have 2 XB1 and want to either trade one or sell 1 as I don't need 3 XB consoles in my house.
Reason for the upgrade is I have a 4KHDR TV that I would love to utilize with it.
Anyone know the best deal right now out there especially for trade ins?

GOW Bundles - including a Blue 500Gig, $299 w/ the GOW 4 disc!
I realize now why the Sony silence - not really, they're gearing up for their VR launch this month and PS4 Pro next month.
Poor, poor Nintendo... 🙁
That is a beautiful color but would stand out like a sore thumb in my media set up in the living room.
I am hoping to grab one of these on a trade in deal as my 4K TV is begging for a friend.
Patiently waiting for black or another cool special edition.
The MS Store last week got the newer XBox One Controllers in black.

Waiting for the right trade in deal and hope one comes sooner rather than Black Friday.
Ok, so after selling my birthday present I got this year, an Nvidia Shield TV, for more then it cost haha, I have used the money and got my Christmas money and bought a nice Xbox One S 500GB BF1 pack.
The Shield relied too much on the Internet for games and my Fibre isn't fast enough plus the App Store is a mess and my first gen Fire TV, also a birthday pressy, kicks its rear end at streaming for what I use it for, I don't use Plex.
Anyway, with the Xbox One can you set up a pin to unlock it like the PS4? And does it auto download game and system updates?

Yes, and yes....
Also, seems like the Storm Grey version is MIA - the stores seem to have the 500GB Battlefield 1 bundle only in white...
EDIT: The Microsoft Store has the Storm Grey version arriving 11/1...

Picked up the Xbox One S and a 4k HDR TV this weekend. Looks FANTASTIC!!!!! (Best Buy had a deal this weekend on Hisense 4k TVs that have HDR. Have to run a few updates on them and it enables the HDR feature, which the Xbox One S supports). I picked up the white version as I love the look of it. Doesn't match anything else though 🙂
First off; the S does run a lot smoother and quicker on menus and loading for me. I've got the original Xbox One as well and have put a lot of hours into it and could instantly notice a difference.
Volume wise they are both about the same. I don't notice a difference as they are both very quiet. It's my external drives that seem to make noise versus them.
The controller feels good too, though I never had an issue with the original. The system itself is a lot smaller. Placed next to each other it's a huge difference in size.
Of note: if you have an original Xbox One (by original I mean it came with the Kinect) you can contact Microsoft and upon providing them the old serial # and new serial # they will mail you an adapter to plug the kinect into the new Xbox One S (saves you $30+). It's supposed to arrive in 7-10 days. My kids and I do use the Kinect and since I have placed this Xbox where my original is I plan on using it with it and moving the original Xbox One to my living room TV. The only negative to this is the Kinect adapter does use a USB port. I currently have 3 external drives in so I'll have to consolidate some.
Overall I'm pleased with this version. I'm planning on getting the 'Scorpio' next holiday season as well as I have TONS of Xbox games with the added 360 library on it. Plus the Nintendo Switch haha.
It helps that my local gamestop had a trade-in promotion this past weekend. I gave up my Xbox 360E, a Nintendo 64 with Mario Kart, Mario 64, and Zelda, and a few other vintage items and got the Scorpio for $100. Then sold off the Battlefield 1 game it came with for $50. Can't beat that really 🙂
