The "Day One Edition" comes with an HDMI cable, headset, and a thing that will probably play video games.

Anyone know what he meant by free day one digital game?

Pretty sure he never said game. I believe the word was: exclusive.

Fuck I hate massive Xbox power bricks... Also, is this first model gonna have fans as loud as my early 360 which I don't even play anymore because it is louder than my dishwasher?

Is the headset an admission that the Kinect mic is unreliable? Or just noisy for chat? Or just awkward because you have to talk louder?

It's probably more to do with the complaints about using a Kinect for in game chat, the biggest problem being room noise. It's bad enough listening t some 12 year old bitch and moan without hearing their mum telling them to tidy their room.

It's unfortunate that you actually believe you are any more safe with the PS4 than the Xbox. If a government orginization wants to keep an eye on you, Sony will cooperate. Also, stop using the internet and throw away that cell phone, Mr. Privacy.

"the power brick" seriously? do they not have a real name for that and not just a derogatory term? So they know that everyone hates that.

Nice to see they keep throwing more stuff in the box as time goes on. All they need to add now is a PS4, and I'm sold.

Well, Microsoft is confirmed as the first company to closely work with the NSA. Sony is Japanese, I live in Europe, why would they give my data away? They are the safer bet.

Doesn't he know the box is a palace? The most sacred thing in any unboxing, yet he just tosses it like common trash.

You're telling me the guy who works and represents Microsoft and Xbox is only pretending to be excited about this product? Why would he do such a thing?!

I like that they did something like this but the thing still holds zero appeal to me. Pay wall for any online features, costs way too much, and most of all there's no games on it that I want to play.

Welp, awesome to see that they decided to change their mind on not including a head set.

With all the changes in policy Microsoft is doing, next thing you'll hear is that they're making Kinect Optional and releasing a $400 edition.

(I highly doubt this will happen, but they also previously stated that the headset was not included, so who knows!)

Who even watches TV anymore? Look at that mess on the back. Just give me power, A/V, and Ethernet. This is no longer a game console.

It is not about that. It is a matter of that they wanted to strip us of our shit, and tried to do so as well. - If Sony decides to do so, I'll immediately sell my PS4.

In Sweden, where I live, the government need good reasons before infringing on our privacy. - Also, I don't own a cell phone. #Pwned :3

So this means that Microsoft is basically ready to ship the XONE and are probably just waiting for Sony to announce a release date so they can pull a dick move and release earlier.

This business of MS playing catch-up is kinda pitiful. Not that I won't get one, but it will be after I get a PS4 and a Wii-U....maybe.

Also, that "Day One" logo may as well be stamped on a fedora.

That sound when you push the button was cool

It sorta sounds like the Mario Brothers 1UP sound to me, Vanilla Ice style.
