Xbox One S, with a thinner form factor, confirmed at E3

The bulky Xbox One is finally much smaller.
The Xbox One S is a welcome change to the giant square of the Xbox One original, which was launched in November 2013. Microsoft confirmed itsexistence at its E3 press conference in Los Angeles on Monday morning.
The all-white Xbox One S is 40% lighter than the original Xbox One, without the large power supply, according to The Verge. The Xbox One S also comes with a stand, so it can be stood vertically as well as laid on its side.

There is no Kinect port on the Xbox One S, fully cementing Microsoft's dropping of the technology. (Instead, players will be able to use Cortana if they want to talk to their consoles.) 
There are small tweaks to the controller as well. It now has Bluetooth built in, so the controller can be used wirelessly with Windows PCs.

The Xbox One S will be available in August, with a 500GB version for $299, a 1TB version for $349 and a limited-edition 2TB version for $399.
