{{ | Released on November 22, 2013, this model started the entire Xbox One line of video game consoles. It was released at a price of $499 at launch{{Ref/Site|Id=IGN_Prices|URL=https://www.ign.com/articles/comparing-the-price-of-every-game-console-with-inflation|Site=Ign|Page=Update: Comparing the Price of Every Game Console, With Inflation|D=2|M=6|Y=2023}}. | ||
Just like the Xbox 360 S, the Xbox One doesn’t use physical buttons for the power function and the disc slot. Instead, it uses touch areas that activate those functions. The power function touch area is located on the logo with the logo itself being placed on the right of the front face. The disc slot touch area is located to the right of the disc slot. These two functions are located on the same face of the console; this face is intended to be placed as the front of the console. | |||
The sync function (used to connect accessories) does take the form of a button and is located on the left of the disc tray. This is located on the left face of the console; a different face than the disc tray opening itself. | |||
Unlike the Xbox 360, the Xbox One does not use a disc tray. Instead, it used a slot for you to insert discs into (think of it like the Wii). The disc tray from the Xbox 360 would never go on to be used in an Xbox console again. | |||
Also unlike the original Xbox 360 and Xbox 360 S, this model cannot be placed vertically; it can only be placed horizontally. This, at least in part, is due to the placement of the fans’ exhaust, ports, and touch areas. The console comes in at a size of 4.3 cm x 26.3 cm x 8 cm and weighs 7.8 lbs.{{Ref/Site|Id=XboxOneSpecSheet|URL=https://news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/Xbox_One_Spec_Sheet.pdf|Site=Xbox News|Page=Xbox One Spec Sheet|D=2|M=6|Y=2023}} So, it is important to consider these two things when finding an area for it to sit. | |||
The Xbox One Kinect was initially bundled in with every console.{{Ref/Site|Id=KinectSource|URL=https://www.windowscentral.com/best-kinect-games-xbox-one|Site=Windows Central|Page=Best Kinect Games Xbox One|D=2|M=6|Y=2023}} Later on, Microsoft sold the Xbox One Kinect separately from the console to lower the cost of entry. | |||
This model can be found with either a glossy top or a matte top. The glossy top is the first release of the Xbox One which was released in 2013. The matte top revision came around in 2015.{{Ref/Site|Id=XboxOne2Matte2015|URL=https://techcrunch.com/2015/06/09/new-xbox-one-matte-black-console-offers-1tb-of-storage|Site=Tech Crunch|Page=New Xbox One Matte Black Console Offers 1TB Of Storage|D=2|M=6|Y=2023}} | |||
This newer revision also came with a revamped controller. The revamped controller received the typical 3.5 mm headphone jack as well as nicer shoulder buttons.{{Ref/Site|Id=3.5_Shoulder|URL=https://www.windowscentral.com/here-is-new-xbox-one-controller|Site=Windows Central|Page=Here is the revised Xbox One controller with headset jack, better bumpers and more|D=2|M=6|Y=2023}} According to users and reviewers, the shoulder buttons on the first model of Xbox One were not nice to use. Microsoft improved upon the complaints by making the shoulder buttons need an equal amount of force anywhere on the button (and a lot less of it at that) to press them; before, the amount of force needed was inconsistent | |||
The revision did keep a lot of the specs similar to the original model. Any touch points, USB ports, weight, size etc. were all kept the exact same between the two versions. | |||
=====Xbox One Elite Bundle===== | |||
Released in November 2015 at a retail price of $499{{Ref/Site|Id=XboxOneEliteBundle_Release2|URL=https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2015/08/31/xbox-one-elite-bundle/|Site=Xbox News|Page=New Xbox One Elite Bundle and Lunar White Wireless Controller Offer Fans the Ultimate Gaming Experience|D=2|M=6|Y=2023}}, the Xbox One Elite is a bundle of the original Xbox One with some modifications. | |||
===Xbox One Elite=== | The revision of the Xbox One that was included in the box is a slightly modified version of the second revision Xbox One--the one with the matte top. It distinguishes itself from that revision by replacing the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) with a Solid State Hybrid Drive (SSHD). It also came bundled with an Xbox One elite series one controller--the defining feature of this release.{{Ref/Site|Id=XboxOneEliteBundle_Release|URL=https://www.theverge.com/2015/11/23/9781922/microsoft-xbox-one-elite-console-review-price|Site=The Verge|Page=Microsoft's Xbox One Elite console is worth the extra cash|D=2|M=6|Y=2023}} Overall, it still looks and functions mostly like a second revision Xbox One. | ||
===Xbox One S=== | ===Xbox One S=== | ||
{{ | Released on August 2, 2016 at a retail price of $499{{Ref/Site|Id=XboxOneS_Release|URL=https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2016/07/18/xbox-one-s-august-2/|Site=Xbox News|Page=Xbox One S announcement|D=2|M=6|Y=2023}}, the Xbox One S is the second entry of the Xbox One family. | ||
Unlike the Xbox One, the Xbox One S uses physical buttons for all of the functions it has. All of the functions are similarly placed as compared to the Xbox One counterparts. It is also able to be placed vertically. The feature is not baked into the design, however. You need to go purchase a stand to do that. {{Ref/Site|Id=XboxOneS_Vertical|URL=https://www.windowscentral.com/best-vertical-stands-and-mounts-xbox-one-s-xbox-one-x|Site=Windows Central|Page=Best Xbox One S and X Stands and Mounts 2022|D=2|M=6|Y=2023}} | |||
The Xbox One S is smaller than the original Xbox One. It comes in at a size of 29.5 cm x 23 cm x 6.5 cm and weighs 6.4 lbs; which is about 40% smaller in size dimensions and weighs about 18% less than the original model Xbox One. {{Ref/Site|Id=XboxOneS_Release|URL=https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2016/07/18/xbox-one-s-august-2/|Site=Xbox News|Page=Xbox One S announcement|D=2|M=6|Y=2023}}{{Ref/Site|Id=XboxOneSpecSheet|URL=https://news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/Xbox_One_Spec_Sheet.pdf|Site=Xbox News|Page=Xbox One Spec Sheet|D=2|M=6|Y=2023}} It is also lighter on resources only requiring a 120 watt power supply as compared to the Xbox One’s 220 watts or Xbox One X’s 240 watts. The power supply was also placed inside of the console instead of outside of it like past Xbox consoles have. | |||
It also received the ability to play HDR10{{Ref/Site|Id=XboxOneSpecSheet|URL=https://news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/Xbox_One_Spec_Sheet.pdf|Site=Xbox News|Page=Xbox One Spec Sheet|D=2|M=6|Y=2023}} and 4k media. It cannot play games at a native 4k, instead, games get upscaled to 4k; 4k Blu-Rays do play natively, however. To access the HDR10 and 4k features, you need a TV that can utilize these features.{{Ref/Site|Id=XboxOneS4kHDR|URL=https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2016/08/02/xbox-one-s-4k-hdr/|Site=Xbox News|Page=Xbox One S: 4K, HDR and what you need to know|D=2|M=6|Y=2023}} | |||

{{ | Released on May 7, 2019 at a retail price of $250, the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition is a variant of the Xbox One S.{{Ref/Site|Id=Xb1SAD_Release|URL=https://www.windowscentral.com/when-does-xbox-one-s-all-digital-release-date|Site=Windows Central|Page=Xbox One S: 4K, HDR and what you need to know|D=2|M=6|Y=2023}} This release, as the name suggests, includes no disc drive. All other features of the Xbox One S still apply. It’s priced very low to attempt to get new customers into the Xbox ecosystem.{{Ref/Site|Id=Xb1SAD_Release|URL=https://www.windowscentral.com/when-does-xbox-one-s-all-digital-release-date|Site=Windows Central|Page=Xbox One S: 4K, HDR and what you need to know|D=2|M=6|Y=2023}} | ||
