Microsoft will absorb cost to add headset to Xbox One; no price change
While Microsoft made no announcements today about a change in price for the Xbox One, we wanted to make sure so we contacted Xbox One's director of product planning Albert Penello via Twitter to find out if adding the headset would also increase the price of the console or if it will add to Microsoft's own manufacturing costs.
As you can see in the response Penello gave neowin, Microsoft will absorb the price of adding the headset and the $499.99 price tag for the Xbox One remains intact:
@JCalNeowin We're paying for that one. No change to the price.

It would be outrageous if the charged more for the mic included. The product is way over priced.

You would hope they wouldn't increase the price. They are already going to be making tones of money from the Xbox One. It's good to see that Microsoft did something to show they do care about the community.
