Unless
you've recently taken up residence under suitably large slab of earth,
you're likely already aware of Microsoft's new Xbox One console. If not,
buckle up, because there's an endless supply of details coming your way
-- now. Here's every last detail we know about the Xbox One:
The Xbox One will have a $499 starting price when it hits stores on November 22, and with a price that high, it's clear Microsoft is targeting the well-to-do consumer with the new device -- at least at launch. By comparison, the Sony PlayStation 4 will cost $399 (and release a week earlier on November 15) -- although its optional PlayStation Eye camera and motion detector will be a $60 add-on, while the Kinect accessory will be bundled with every Xbox One sold.
For those not ready to drop half a grand on a new
media device, Microsoft has refreshed its current gaming console, the
Xbox 360, which is now available in a smaller redesigned chassis.
The price has been kept relatively low ($200 for 4GB, $300 for 250GB),
and Microsoft has sweetened the deal with a two-free-games-per-month
deal for Xbox Live Gold members.
