Microsoft officially launches 1TB Xbox One console

by John_A

As rumored, Microsoft has officially launched an Xbox One with double the storage of the standard model and a new matte finish. It comes with the controller we glimpsed earlier that packs a 3.5mm stereo jack so you can use any headset (the new console ships with a chat headset, though). Microsoft is also throwing in a copy of Halo: The Master Chief Collection for a limited time. The 1TB console will start shipping on June 16th in the US, UK and other “select markets” for $399 (£349 in the UK). Better still, the standard 500GB Xbox One’s price has dropped permanently to $349 (£299).

To throw in a Jobs-esque “one more thing,” Microsoft also revealed an Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 coming this fall for $24.99, or bundled with a Wireless Controller for $79.95 in the US. As a reminder, that’ll let you use the Xbox One’s controller wirelessly on a Windows 10 PC, laptop or tablet, avoiding the USB cable futz you need to do now.
