Microsoft shows off smaller Xbox One game console

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Xbox One is shrinking.

Microsoft unveiled a new, slimmer version of the video game console Monday morning at its Electronic Entertainment Expo media briefing.

The company says the white Xbox One S is 40 percent smaller than the original black Xbox One and will feature support for 4K high-definition video.

Other changes include moving the USB ports to the front of the console, adding a built-in infrared blaster and eliminating the port for the motion-detecting Kinect camera system.

Microsoft says the console will go on sale in August for $299 to $399 depending on the hard drive size.
