Cheaper Xbox One set for 2014 release, report claims

Information contained in forum 'leak' verified by multiple publications

A new, cheaper Xbox One SKU will be released in 2014, a growing number of reports have suggested.

The claim first emerged via a whistle blowing NeoGAF post, which suggested that Microsoft is planning a new $399 Xbox One model, possibly minus a physical disc drive.

nformation contained in the post has since been verified by multiple publishing sources cited by CVG, The Verge and VG247, that latter of which credits "trusted publishing partners" as verifying the new Xbox One SKU, which it says will be cheaper than the current $499 USD / £420 model.

Although the original NeoGAF post states the new Xbox model may be released without an optical disc drive, this has not been verified by any publication.

It has also been claimed that Microsoft will be releasing a white Xbox One in October, to tie in with the release of Sunset Overdrive, as well as a special Titanfall edition of its new console in March. The white Xbox One rumour has been backed up by sources cited to tech site The Verge.

The whole white Xbox thing will be very hard to back up of them actually selling it to the public as every Xbox employee got one when it originally launched so we know they exist out there but it would be very hard to confirm that they are in production for public purchase.
