It is a good deal if you're interested in the colour and limited edition game, but for $29 more dollars you can pick up the grey console from the Microsoft Store which comes with 4 games including Halo 5.

Here is the link to it: Grey XBOX ONE S Bundle

Like many, holding out on scorpio but some of the bundles for the one S are quite enticing! You should post this link into your opening post as it's quite good as well.

Considering the Blue consoles are considered by many ugly this sale is a matter of taste.
So many people returned them at xmas time.

The Halo games can be had at a massive discount and are worth maybe $20.
The white Xbox One deals at $329 with Halo + GOW, BF 1, Forza 3, Minecraft are better for most. Better games and not an ugly blue color.

I'm getting the Scorpio too, but I got the one S when eb had that 99$ trade in. It's much smaller and definitely more snappy on the dashboard. The 4k blu ray player is a bonus. Plus you get another year I'm warranty. And your resale value will be higher when you go to upgrade to Scorpio. Certainly not a necessary upgrade, but there's a bunch of reasons to do it

It will be an all around faster Microsoft console to play alongside Xbox One and Xbox One S slated for release late this year. They will be improving CPU, memory, graphics the whole shebang... Its a similar thought process to what Sony did with the PS4 Pro however Microsoft says they went much further in terms of performance touting native 4k on many titles.

Good console if you recently bought a 4k TV and are too impatient to wait for Scorpio.

Otherwise wait for Scorpio lol.

Because AMD manufactures the parts for both XB1 and PS4 revisions (PS4 Pro / Slim, XBox One / Scorpio) I find it interesting to draw comparisons to what they make for PCs.

The original XB1 and PS4 were based on similar (but not identical) Jaguar APU designs and manufactured on an older 28nm process (draws more power).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_(m ... hitecture)

The XB1 S and Slim PS4 were almost identical to their earlier revisions (same Jaguar architecture), except the manufacturing moved to 14nm meaning the power draw could be reduced substantially and minor speed increases were also possible.

The PS4 Pro also got the manufacturing improvement AND got more (2x) GPU cores, but still is based on Jaguar architecture.

Microsoft chose to wait to release something with a more substantial improvement. I speculate that that this was because AMD was in the process of developing a brand new architecture for CPU cores, now released as Ryzen, and GPU architecture, the upcoming Vega. It looks like Microsoft is betting that waiting on having these new architectures along with the improved manufacturing (14nm) will be a worthwhile venture. Only time will tell if it was worth holding off.

It makes me hope that similarly powerful APUs (with lots of GPU power) could be released to work in AM4 motherboards. That would be a game-changer in terms of affordable and compact PC gaming systems.

Considering the Blue consoles are considered by many ugly this sale is a matter of aquired taste.

The Halo games can be had at a massive discount and are worth maybe $20 for the pair. Halo 5 is getting thrown in to that MS month subscription thing they have coming up.

The white Xbox One sales at $329 with
Halo + GOW, BF 1,
Forza 3,
Minecraft
are better for some at Best Buy and via Microsoft right now until the end of the month.

Mr Disco didn't like this post before and deleted it, can't figure out why.
