14 DAY TRIAL // After a few rumors and reports, Microsoft has officially revealed the new Xbox One bundle that includes a 1TB hard drive for the console, as well as a new controller with a 3.5mm headphone jack, and in select regions, a copy of Halo: The Master Chief Collection for just $400/€400. Meanwhile, the regular Xbox One with 500GB of storage has been officially discounted to $350/€350.
The Xbox One was released all around the world in November of 2013 with an initial price of $500/€500 for the regular bundle that packed in a 500GB hard drive and a Kinect sensor. After having lost in terms of sales to the PS4, Microsoft removed the Kinect and dropped the price of the Xbox One to $400 /€400.
In order to further sweeten the deal, it's offered all sorts of bundles starting the fall of last year, which further brought the price down to $350/€350.
A new 1TB Xbox One with a fresh controller is available next week
Now, it confirms on the Xbox Wire that fans will be able to purchase a new version of the console, with a hard drive that can store 1TB of data and a matte black finish. In addition to the device, a new controller is also available and it boasts a 3.5mm headphone jack right inside it, not to mention "fine-tuned bumper buttons and the capability of wireless firmware updates." The bundle also includes, in some regions, a digital copy of Halo: The Master Chief Collection for just $400 /€400.
Meanwhile, all existing Xbox One consoles with the regular 500GB hard drive will have a standard price of $350/€350 once the new bundle launches on June 16, worldwide.
At the same time, the new controller will be available as a standalone purchase in a black finish or a black and grey "Special Forces" design.
PC owners will get their long-awaited wireless adapter this fall
What's more, Microsoft also confirms that PC owners will be able to get their long-awaited wireless adapter for the Xbox One controller this fall, for just $25/€25. It will also be available as a bundle with the controller for $80/€80.
