Microsoft arrived at E3 2016 and made a pretty huge reveal during the start of its press conference.
They were hard at work on developing a slimmer and sexier Xbox One model that came with a ton of viable features. That console was revealed to be the Xbox One S. What made that reveal even better is the fact that it’s arriving in the same year it was shown off. If you’re prepared to move on from the original Xbox One console iteration, the Xbox One S should be your next designated move.
We’re going to list the current lineup of Xbox One S bundles that you should keep an eye on and eventually add to your media center.
