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.

oohItemooh That thing plugged into the bottom looks absolutely terrible. I want it to go away.
It can go away, thats part of the mic.
I know. I don't want that to be on the mic either, it's ugly and looks quite useless from what I can see.
well it looks like it could help, because now the xbox's headset remote is away from the controller and you have to take your hands off the controller and adjust the settings but now you can get move your hand a few centimeters and your good. seems good to me
