Xbox One S (slim) confirmed, costs $299 and includes a 4K Blu-ray player
Microsoft has just confirmed the Xbox One S, aka Xbox One Slim. And it’s pretty big news, as the console will retail for just $299, undercutting the PS4 by $50, and supporting 4K content as well.
The Xbox One S not only supports 4K videos from Netflix and Amazon, but has a built-in 4K Blu-ray player. This is big news, as standalone Blu-ray players cost around $200 themselves, meaning that a lot of people interested in 4K Blu-ray will probably step up to an Xbox One console.
The new console also has a 2TB harddrive, which is 4 times as much as the $350 PS4 version has.
It’ll be interesting to see how Sony responds to this. They’ve already said that they will not showcase the PS4.5 Neo at E3. The only other way to counter the Xbox One S will be a price cut, bringing the PS4 down to $299 or even less.
The new Xbox One launches in August worldwide.
