Xbox One S Console Announced

If the leaks haven't already given it away, Microsoft have official announced a brand new Xbox One model, no it isn't the fabled more powerful system, it is the well needed slim model and redesigned controller. 

Starting in at $299, the brand new console will be 40% slimmer than the original, feature an internal PSU, a 2TB hard drive and built in IR blaster. Although not mentioned is that it has been pointed out among the specs, that the new model doesn't feature a dedicated Kinect port, so an adapter will be required - fortunately Microsoft have said that they'll have a free program offering adapters to those who upgrade. 

Another big thing to note: It's been the discovered that the $299 bundle is the 500GB model and does not include a controller - so keep this mind.
