so you've been debating grabbing the new
Xbox 1's well ours just came in so we
want to go over what's different about
it what's the same and whether or not
it's right for you so let's take a look
at the Box on the front we see a
beautiful picture of the Xbox 1's set up
and tower mode flipping around to the
back we see Lara Croft Master Chief and
of course everyone's favorite hero blue
car opening it up we see the system
comes in three different parts the first
of which contains all the usual
paperwork and for those of you that want
to free up a little shelf space the
vertical stand in the second box we have
the rest of the accessories including
the HDMI cable the power cable which
thankfully no longer has that ridiculous
stupid big power brick and of course the
new controller it's not only sporting a
new color but it also has a textured
grip and built-in Bluetooth which is
great because it means you no longer
have to buy an adapter if you want to
use the controller with your computer
wirelessly and it works at twice the
range of the original Xbox one
controller and last but definitely not
least is of course the Xbox 1s itself
this thing is clean if you've ever had a
glassy system before you know those
things pick up every scratch and
fingerprint
whereas this with a white matte finish
is going to stay looking good for way
longer now as the name implies this
system is a lot smaller than the
original Xbox one 40% smaller is the
number that Microsoft keeps throwing out
but what exactly does that mean well if
you put it right on top of the original
you can see how it's trimmed down and
basically every way now taking a look at
the back we can see that it still has
most of the same ports as the original
with one big exception the Kinect port
has been completely removed on the front
you can see a lot more changes there's a
front-facing USB port a built-in IR
blaster for your remote and my personal
favorite change an actual physical power
button as opposed to one of those
annoying little touch ones this thing
also has some changes on the inside it
has a slightly more powerful processor
which allows it to support 4k streaming
and HDR in some movies and games so
should you buy it well if you've been
wanting an Xbox one but you've been
holding off and waiting now is a great
time to
one but if you already have an Xbox one
and you're debating whether or not you
should upgrade it's not worth it it's
got a bunch of nifty new features but
not nearly enough to justify buying a
whole nother system
