Microsoft employees playing Xbox One early

4.5
Some Microsoft employees have recently been seen playing 'Xbox One' while people have been checking their Xbox LIVE profiles through their Xbox 360.

As you can see in the two images below, it shows multiple 'Launch Team' members from Xbox playing 'Xbox One' and it also shows up on their Xbox.com profiles, too.
For example, live.xbox.com/en-US/Profile?gamertag=Aphetor - Aphetor is currently 'Online playing Xbox One' as it is listed on his profile on Xbox.com at the time of writing.

If you would like to see more employees playing Xbox One, take a look at some friends list (https://live.xbox.com/en-US/Friends?gamertag=Aphetor) You can see a whole host of
people who have been playing Xbox One Recently.

This could mean that Microsoft is holding last minute tests for Xbox One as the console is set to be available in 21 markets this November. The Xbox One price has been set at £425 / €499 / $499.


It's worth noting that as reported back in August a lucky bunch of Microsoft employees will receive a free Xbox One on launch day -- in an exclusive white and silver-grey photo below.

CyberPunk Just noticed how unfair and stupidy swayyed the pricing for this is XD "425 / 499 / $499."

if going on todays prices and converting from GBP to other currencies. or taking the USD as the starter due its evident how stupid it is XD

425.00 GBP = 678.173 USD
425.00 GBP = 500.813 EUR
(Used xe.com)

499.00 USD = 312.715 GBP
499.00 USD = 368.499 EUR
(used xe.com)

seriously , if bought via USD valuation your saving 100+? thats a rather nasty surprise for the EU market...


I guess you were under a rock, every console in EU comes with a free game so the price is even

This is not too surprising considering the release for it is right around on the corner.

Can't wait!

I rather play Xbox one instead of watching and reading a status of an employee from Microsoft playing Xbox one.

ZigsPosted:

BradPosted:

Not really that surprised, they still need to beta test it etc.

That's a good thing. I think anyone having this will make a lot of money in twenty years or so.
