so one of Microsoft's biggest announcements at this year's e3 was the reveal of the very heavily rumored Xbox one slim which looks to be a major upgrade over the original model to begin with let's look at the cosmetic differences in this new model this console is 40% smaller than the original Xbox one which is a lot more significant than you would think until you actually see it in person it also comes in a white color rather than the usual xbox black and the vent design has changed to being the sort of dotted great look rather than the shafts from the original model which personally I'm not a big fan of but it doesn't make it look horrible and for those of you that spring for the two terabyte model you're going to get a vertical stand so you can show the console off whichever way you'd prefer though those of you that grab the 500 gigabyte or one terabyte model are going to have to spring for the stand separately now aside from just the looks the system also features some actual performance upgrades over the original system featuring a slightly stronger processor what this upgraded processor allows for is that the Xbox 1s is going to support HDR as well as 4k display allowing you to stream video in 4k as well as support Ultra HD blu-ray which by the way also means that the 500 gigabyte Xbox one slim is going to be the cheapest Ultra HD blu-ray player on the market now for me personally one of the really big deals about the system though is the changes in form factor in a lot of ways there's a lot of things with this slim model that should have been in the base Xbox one taking a look at the front of the system you'll see that we now have a front-facing USB port which was sorely needed before as well as a syncing button on the front and a built-in IR blaster instead of relying on the Kinect and if you actually take a look at the back of the system you'll see that the Kinect port has been completely removed so if you want to make use of that still you're gonna have to buy a separate adapter although if you're upgrading to the slim you can actually register and get one for free when you get the slim - changes that are really huge to me although I admit one of them is kind of minor is that this system now has an internal power supply no more gigantic ridiculous brick and it actually as a mechanical power button so you're no longer accidentally turning your system on every time you try to move the console now along with all the improvements to the sillim itself we're also getting a new Xbox one controller which sports two main improvements first off the controller now has built-in Bluetooth so you no longer have to buy an adapter if you want to use it with your PC and it allows for a longer range of play with your system on top of that it also uses a different texturing on the grips the controller making it a lot more comfortable and not nearly as sleek as the old controllers and for those you that are huge fans of customization you can actually now order your own unique design using their design lab which allows you to pick from multiple colors for both the face the back and all the different buttons which costs you 80 bucks and is going to ship in September although you can also spring for an extra 10 bucks if you want it unique engraving on it now for those of you that want to spring for one of these right now it's actually already available for pre-order and is gonna be shipping in August it's gonna cost you 300 bucks if you want to get the 500 gigabyte model and an extra 50 bucks to get in one terabyte and another 50 on top of that for 2 terabytes those of you that have been wanting to grab an Xbox one but just haven't spring for it yet this is an excellent time to do so because this pretty much has all the major functions that the system should have had in the first place that or you can just wait and spring for a good high quality gaming PC because play anywhere whatever if you want to check it out I got a link posted down below in the description where you can pre-order until next time guys I'm Kevin Gibson and I'll see you later
