As someone who still has a 360 and hasn't jumped in to this gen yet...man it is difficult to hold off until Scorpio. The amount of AAA games hitting this fall/winter alone is impressive (Gears 4, Forza Horizon 3, Deus X, Mafia 3, Titanfall 2, Battlfield 1, Halo Wars 2, Mass Effect Andromeda...hell even the new COD game looks good)... knee deep into now...this is basically the 2007 of this "gen". Not to mention everything that has come out in the past couple of years I haven't played yet..

You can get 50 inch 4k TVs for the price of PSVR, so the consumer choice could be NEO+PSVR or 4k+XB1S.
I've been recommending to all my family & friends to hold off the XB1 fat until it hits $250 or get the 500gb XB1S @ $299 in the fall. Only know of one person that has a 4K TV & I'll probably recommend the 2TB for him in August. They can sell their PS4 to pay for it. 
LOL Considering he went all disc, shouldn't be hard for him to swap platforms.

There's definitely interest from the home theater crowd. 4k bluray and hdr.

The new Slim model seems very nice and I like how they presented Scorpio with focus on power, I'm curious though how much it will cost and are there any benefits over similar spec'd PC going forwards?
Yah, it'll be interesting to see pricing on a 6TF AMD Gpu when it's released. Might not cost too much more to build a similar PC that can do a lot more and access more game stores like Steam. That's why I think Scorpio won't cost more than $500. Wouldn't be surprised if it's $450.
Like I said , next fall the slim gets reduced to $250 and scorpio comes out at $500 . AMD will most likely have a 10tflop gpu out by then at around $500
Apparently the XBOX App is now on Android and iOS.
Smartglass app was on those devices from the start. They just renamed it as the Xbox App and added a bunch of new features. My smartglass updated to the xbox app just before the conference yesterday.
Yeah, the "XBOX App" used to be Win 10 only, but SmartGlass was available on everything including Win 10! If the iOS/Android has been moved in-line with the XBOX App then there is a chance streaming may come to that as well.
Apparently the extra horsepower is only for HDR.

yup that was one of my wishes before the conference. If they use it for bc it should get us right where we want to be

I agree, they should update the new iteration of Elite controllers with the same functionality of the Slim controllers.
So much for that idea. The price of the Gears Elite Controller is $200! WTF!?!?
I don't think it's worth an extra $50 over the elite. Guess I'll wait for revised Elite with BlueTooth.
The elite and 1TB bundles are nice deals! The 500GB, meh.
That Elite is almost a little tempting. I wish DF had tested the hybrid drive to see what kind of gains occur.
Edit: Doesn't it come with Elite controller too? Yeah, tempting! That alone is $149. Guessing it sells out fast.
Edit2: It looks like Gamestop gives a measly 100 credit for a 500GB XBO. VS 150 for a 500GB PS4. Shows how this gen went.
