The Xbox One layout is very, very similar to the current 360S.

Looks like a "removable" hard drive of some sort (albeit i suspect the case is not designed to be opened without breaking warranty etc).

Not so for you.

A very small percentage of overall console owners play consoles using headsets that didn't come with the console. It's why MS has introduced the data port instead of the headphone jack on the xbox one controller, to get a slice of the sales from headphones.

Unless their cheapest headset comes with the console or is sub £15 I think this is a bad move.

Dude they are selling this thing as a multi media all in one system. You going to sit there with headset on watching your films or tv? It needs to be whisper quiet!

So amazon are selling this for £599.99 , console only.

Ok, so there's Inflation, but that is insane. How much was the Xbox 360 when it launched?

It won't be £599 simple as that. If you pre-order with them once the rrp is known you will recive an amended price. Its always been this way with many retailers.

Just can't wait for all the extra accessories to bump up the price plus subscription fee.

Yep removable hdd makes sense maybe adding an SSD will help improve things even more wonder if its sata3 !!!

ps3ud0 · 31 May 2013 at 19:55

Quoted from Amazon ..

'Please note that Microsoft has yet to announce cost prices for Xbox One products. The price stated above is therefore liable to change prior to the release date.'

Yeah, Microsoft appear to have already confirmed to Engadget that the HDD will be non-removable.

Things just don't seem to be looking good for Xbox One

wannabedamned · 31 May 2013 at 21:32

I imagine its not upgradeable in the same sense a lot of things with hard drives "Arent upgradeable"

Basically, you can do it. But you'll void your warranty

And it wont be a quick case of taking one out and banging the other one in.

Yean but Microsoft has said u can attach any external hard drive and use that as extra space.

Large fan does not equal lots of heat.

A large fan is used as it can run at a lower rpm and shift the same amount of air as a small fan running at high rpm producing a lot of noise. While the larger fan will be silent.

We'll see. I wonder if they'll end up with large amounts dying from overheating again.

I'd certainly hope not though.

Exactly. And it's not as if 500GB is small. I don't even use 500GB of space for games on my PC. Plus I doubt you will play the full 500GB of games all the time, and if you do fill it I'm sure there will be some games you don't play or have completed that you could uninstall. Alternatively, you can use external storage like MS have said.

I would imagine that they have learnt their lesson from the Xbox 360, but time will tell.

wannabedamned · 1 Jun 2013 at 01:40

Not a fan of external storage if I'm honest.

I mean its fine as a solution, but I'd much prefer to have a nice 1tb+ internal HDD.

I wonder what the playback solutions will be like this time. TV TV TV, sports sports COD... Cool.... but can we have more container\codec support please for our existing stuff without the need to transcode?

As if they did that, and I could upgrade the internal drive to something beefy. I could actually see the Xbox ONE being on quite often in my home.

K1LLSW1TCH · 1 Jun 2013 at 02:06

I wonder if they'll do what they've done with the 360 in regards to external storage and limited the capacity, I think it was a 20GB limit on the 360 for USB drives.

Yes, you're entirely correct, a blu ray has an install capacity of 50GB+ if compressed files, so that's 10 games. It also aims to be a pvr, my sky+ box has a terabyte hard drive so, yes MS have really thought this one out. It really is a huge allocation of storage and will never run out.

Not sure if serious?
500gb is pitiful, especially so for a multi media system that also plays games. A few blu-ray game installs, some downloaded dlc packs, several arcade games and maybe a couple of movies will soon have your 500gb struggling.
