According to a new
posting on Amazon, you'll soon be able to pick up an Xbox One with 1TB of
storage and a new controller that features a standard 3.5mm headset jack.
Bundled with a digital version of The Master Chief Collection, the refreshed
console was listed for $400, though unsurprisingly, most of the details have
since been pulled from the Amazon listing. Microsoft previously revealed the
new controller in a support article, saying that the newer version would be
released after June. Meanwhile, a 1TB version of the console was previously
released as part of a limited edition Call of Duty bundle.
While that may seem
like a lot of storage, with the rising prominence of downloadable games, 1TB
might just be necessary for those who have made the shift to digital game
libraries. Downloading Battlefield Hardline, for example, will eat up more than
45GB of space, while Destiny will set you back 25GB. Even disc-based games
often require large mandatory installs or patches. Of course, having to worry
about download sizes at all goes against the initial sales pitch: Microsoft
originally said that the Xbox One "was designed to make storage management
automatic," so that users wouldn't have to bother.
We'll likely see the
official announcement of the refreshed Xbox One at E3. Amazon listed the release
date as June 15th, which just so happens to be the same day as Microsoft's
keynote
