Cheaper Xbox One set for 2014 release, report claims

4.5
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.

Dorkus If it's cheaper, it might not be as good as the regular xbox one. But who knows maybe it's just a discounted price off the original price.


I'm sure it won't be as good as the original. I mean, just think, it's Microsoft.


Microsoft has decent products. They are just really over priced. Even if this one is $399 that's still a lot of money. They probably make the thing for like $20.

The White Xbox One's are legit. My friend boughy an xbox one online and they sent him the white edition by mistake. He sold it on Ebay for $2000 LOL.

Zinx They should just offer a version without the Kinect. I don't want that crap.


Same, I will never use kinect. Paying for something you will never use, not liking it.


yeah kinect is very very not needed.


I think the Kinect voice controls are pretty sick though. :3



That's cool yeah, but it can get annoying.
Can you turn it off?
don't mind the connect, I used it for the first couple of months. I have gotten to the point that I don't use it. It is not worth 100$ in my opinion.

they should also make it so the kinect is optional , that would knock the price down a fair bit

I have owned the xbox one since launch date and I can honestly say that the kinect is a nice accessory that is very good however it can be a bit annoying. I think you would like the kinect if you were able to try it out, and if you have and still hate it than oh well.
