While the Xbox One S is an amazing console, it just doesn't have a place, as it's such an incremental improvement. You should probably wait for Scorpio to get bigger changes.

As an entry-level console, the Xbox One S comes jam packed with great features and offers a smooth user experience. It is well worth considering if you are looking for something to spin Ultra HD Blu-rays and haven't taken the plunge yet.

4K Ultra HD Blu-ray support with HDR; 4K Netflix and Amazon Video playback; 1080p HDR gaming; Great wireless controller; No power brick

Doesn't give you 4K gaming; Slightly slower in operation to its beefier One X sibling

Fast

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

For all its purported power most all of the games I've played haven't looked that "next-gen" or even that good. 720p native graphics, crazy sharpening filters, poor anti-aliasing, limited draw distances, and even framerate hiccups (no more 60fps in Call of Duty) will make anyone wonder why spending...

Positives Nice launch lineup of games; Kinect voice commands when they work; great SmartGlass support; intuitive game DVR and editing tools; Snap multitask; ability to play while installing

Negatives Unappealing hardware design; poorly designed tile menus; lack of built-in battery on gamepad; lack of info on hard drive or battery usage; mandatory Xbox Live subscription for even basic functionality; finicky Kinect motion detection and rigid voice commands; many features like Twitch and...

The Xbox One S is more than a console – it's a great Ultra HD Blu-Ray player.

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

Being an avid gamer, as soon as I became aware of the Xbox One's release, I did everything I could to get my hands on one. Microsoft always delivers when it comes to content and my previous experience with the Xbox 360 lead me to make the jump.

Great gaming; comfortable controller; leading multiplayer

Clunky body; cluttered layout; long game install time

Having read the WHF review I think they have been a bit harsh on this bit of kit, first of all the game pay is very smooth and picture quality on Tomb Raider was up there with the best of them and as a blu ray player I found the picture to be as good as any player I have seen costing up to ￡150 and...

I really enjoy my xbox but it has a lot of bugs. It takes about three times to repeat myself to turn it on. The video will cut out sometimes and the audio pops when switching apps. I submitted a warranty claim with microsoft and they are sending me another console.

I bought it from Kohl's during Christmas because of price and a second one in March.. the value and price was great. Easy online purchase and in store pickup. However my kids are spoiled and they're still in the package unopened.. Teenagers!!!
