Wow! Coming from someone who has had both Playstations and Xboxes, I really do love the Xbox One S. It is a phenomenal system overall, and I highly recommend it to everyone! The Xbox One S is an awesome system with loads of breathtaking and useful features, like 4K Blu-Ray playback and backwards...

I have used a few consoles and set-top boxes. This is the best experience I had. I play games, BluRays, access local & remote media and use streaming services all in one box. Highly recommended.

Xbox One S: The Xbox One S can't match the Xbox One X for power, but for price and style it's hard to top

Excellent product. Had some issues with Microsoft and account issues, however that has nothing to do with the product. I do find the current home menu to be much more difficult to maneuver versus the Xbox 360. Hopefully it's just a learning curve. It also doesn't like my older 720p TV.

Microsoft's Xbox One S has made its way to Indian shores. The console boasts of an interesting feature set, some exciting exclusives and an attractive form factor. Is it too late to the party

Gorgeous design and form factor; Integrated power brick; Can be propped up vertically with a stand; Game Pass and backwards compatibility are good services; Dolby Atmos; HDR and 4K Blu-ray playback support; Good library of exclusives

Controller still uses 2 AA batteries; Third party games run better on the PS4; Launched a year after its official global launch; Xbox One X is around the corner; White gets dirty easily

Since launching in 2013, the Xbox One platform has been in a state of flux. After a stumble out of the gate, driven in no small part by its $100 price gap, the company has been forced to change its plans for cross-media domination.

Slick new look; Strong input/output selection; Ultra HD Blu-ray support; Enhanced compatibility with Windows 10; Attractive pricing

Not as small as expected; Hardware still slower than PlayStation 4; Cortana is disappointing

Ed notes: Yes, I am quite aware that the Xbox One S has been out for a while now both in the US and in SA. The console launched in August last year, and we only received it in April in SA.

Unlike the Xbox One launch , the One S decoupled the Kinect requirement, reduced the size, switched to the now ...

Thanks to new software, more compact hardware and an excellent pack-in controller, the Xbox One S feels like a worthy successor to the older Xbox 360. If you already have an Xbox One, however, there's little reason to upgrade unless you're also planning on buying a 4K TV (or already own one).

This is more like it. The Xbox One S is the version of the console that Microsoft should've first released back in 2013 instead of the lumbering beast that we got. It's better in a number of ways, making it even more of a worthy alternative to Sony's PlayStation 4 .

The Xbox One S is a slick looking game console that's 40 percent smaller than the original and ditches the infamously gigantic power brick; It can display 4K video from streaming services and Ultra HD Blu-rays, and supports HDR contrast on video and games.

4K, Ultra HD Blu-ray and HDR settings only work with newer TVs, and may require some trial and error; The updated controller feels cheaper than its predecessor; Project Scorpio, the more powerful Xbox One successor, arrives in late 2017
