Xbox One ‘Day One Edition’ Detailed

Microsoft Studios unveiled plans to launch the Xbox One console this November at their Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) press conference earlier this evening, and since have gone on to flesh out the details of their rumoured ‘Day One Edition.’ Gamers who purchase a launch system will not only receive special packaging, but other exclusive features including a twelve month Xbox Live Gold membership.

cool but no

[Abash]

That doesnt help justify the $500 price tag (plus needing an XBL Gold subscription to play online). It's too expensive

[mikeslemonade]

Not a bad price, but just not enough content.

[PraxxtorCruel]

Perfect for me. My live is pretty much running out in September and this way I'll be getting another years worth included in the price of the console. Next-gen is definitely looking interesting.

[farhad2k8]

$560 for an XBOX ONE + XBL GOLD.
If you're a new XBOX user, I feel sorry for you.

[--Onilink--]

what price were you actually expecting??? from the moment that they said kinect was on every console $500 was a given.

Same thing will happen with PS4, if Sony decides to bundle the PSEYE2 with every PS4 it will probably be $500 too, $450 the lowest

[hakesterman]

The PS4 Won't be $ 499.99 because they aren't going to bundle pseye in it. But I wouldn't be surprised if it's $ 449.00 because it has Faster DDR5 Memory in it.

[Muffins1223]

Eh...ea and activision and micrsoft stock went down today...if sony announces good price that should bring EA and Activation stock up...

[Darrius Cole]

Cool but it is all about the DRM. If they keep the DRM, I'm out. It's really that simple.

[merciless]

just so you're aware

$500 = £250

£429 = $860

Give or take marginal fluctuations. The British pound is worth two American dollars. The Brits are getting shafted on this one

[iamgoatman]

@merciless

"The British pound is worth two American dollars."

LOL. $500 is £321, not £250. The current rate at the time of posting is £1 = $1.56. It has been 2:1 in AGES.

[travelguy2k]

1 GBP is currently $1.56 USD. UK still getting shafted but not as bad as you infer.

@iamgoatman

you beat me to it, +bubble

429 GBP = $668.33 USD :(

[dcbronco]

merciless are you new to gaming? The UK always gets screwed. At least you get it day one this time.

[Why o why]

Vat at 20% included in the price for goods by law .... but we get screwed regularly

Don't you still have to add the tax to the us price. Thats a reason I never try to do conversions as im never sure what your tax is

[dcbronco]

It's weird in the US. You pay state and federal taxes. Except on the Internet. Online you pay taxes if there is a store in your area. Not if there isn't. But somehow you still do even if they don't have a store sometimes(there is a rule I can't remember). But that's rare. Then there is state tax. If the company has a store in you state, you pay taxes online. If they don't you don't. Except if your state has decided you have to. Most won't do that. And some states don't charge state taxes even if you are in a store. Some don't charge state taxes at all even for income. But they have higher business and point of sales taxes to get income. Basically all fifty states have their own rules.

[Why o why]

Cheers... you just made my understanding worse....;)

[Gravitic]

PS+ is now required to play multiplayer on PS4. Funny that Sony Faboys are still raving about XBL pricetag.

[shutUpAndTakeMyMoney]

yes. Sony and M$ fans lose. Valve rocks..

[PeteDoherty]

No thanks.

[talisker]

Keep it. Or bury it next to E.T.

[gnothe1]

Then why are you guys here...I figured most wouldn't say anything about something their not interested in...so evidently your impressed. .lol

[psyxon]

by your logic, a person can only ever express their liking of something, but not their disliking of it.

why? get over it. i'm sorry kiddos get butthurt because OTHER people dislike the console they happen to like.

grow up, kids.

[SilentNegotiator]

All the better to turn around on eBay.

[paranoid1971]

Nah, MS will probably lock the console to your IP address so you can't sell it!! (JOKE)

[Double_O_Revan]

But who will buy it? I had that problem with the WiiU. Had to return it to the store.

[SilentNegotiator]

On the first day/week? There's no way you could have had that much trouble if you had sold it the first week.

I'm talking about camping out and buying one day one and then right away selling it to someone desperate to have it immediately that couldn't wait in line.

[Double_O_Revan]

Yea, did that. would've made maybe $20. No one wanted the WiiU.

[urwifeminder]

That's the pack I hope I can get very nice.

[BillytheBarbarian]

I haven't seen anything that really shows the games are better than current Gen.

[Jakens]

Don't they have something else that shows a day one purchase?

[GusBricker]

Must. Get. That. Achievement.

lol

I wonder what Ryse's multiplayer is going to look like.

and co-op in Dead Rising 3!

[sensor21]

#2 in pre order order im in.

[RM-TatoTiburon]

already pre ordered on amazon

[gamertk421]

Me too!

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Are you charged now or when it ships?

[RM-TatoTiburon]

when it ships as always

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Thanks.

[Corpser]

Day one for me

[PS4OUR]

No Microsoft. I will not be buying.

I can't afford broadband internet. So i can't use your Xbox Live. I can't access your Cloud service (which looks like all of your games is making use of) and i am not take chances with your complicated DRM policies.

Free Live
No Cloud
No DRM and then we can talk.

Sony has got my attention.

[i3eyond the Circle]

Pre ordered

[Skate-AK]

LOL! You get an achievement for buying Xbone on launch date? Wow....
