At E3 2016, Micorosft announced a refresh of the Xbox One in the form of the Xbox One S, which boasts support for 4K Ultra HD in a chassis 40% smaller than the original.

According to numerous online retailers, it looks like the official launch date is August 2, which is just about two weeks away. Prices start at $399 which gets you the Xbox One S with 2TB of onboard storage. Microsoft is expected to launch 500GB, 1TB and a special 2TB Gears of War Limited Edition Xbox One S down the road in time for the holiday season.
Pre-orders for the 2TB Xbox One S are available via Amazon now.
