Day One for Xbox One.

The Xbox One Out Now!!

The highly antisapated Next Gen console the Xbox One is finally available around the world for all to buy . Microsoft’s main competitor Sony release there own Next Gen console next week in the Playstation 4 so now the real battle of the next gen consoles starts, which console will come out on top. Over the past few months there has been huge debates around the web on which console will turn out best and be crowned the champions of next gen, I think it will be interesting to see which console comes out on top in the Christmas period which is pretty much upon us.

The Xbox One, The only One console you’ll need Right?.

The Xbox One is certainly not a Cheap pieace of gaming equipment. The Retail price at launch for the Xbox One Day One edition (which comes with a download code for Fifa 14)  is a meaty £429.99. Now unless you have pre-ordered the Console awhile back please note that the chances are you will not be getting your hands on a Xbox One for quite some time yet, some reports suggest that due to such high demands some people will struggle to get hold of the console in time for christmas (Unless you pay a silly amount of money to somebody making a quick buck from the average joe on Ebay.)

What am I getting for my money?

The Xbox One has a 500gb hard drive straight out of the box which is alot considering most of the things on the Xbox will be stored on the cloud therefore not taking up any of your hard drive space anyway. The new controller which to be honest is pretty much the same and I’m definatly not complaining as I like the Xbox 360 controller, also included in the Xbox One package is the new standard Xbox headset which are ment to be of a much better quialty both in sound and feel according to some reviews around the net. For those of you that use your own headsets, just a heads up that you will only recieve standard Stereo sound from your headset regardless of their quialty this is due to the fact that Microsoft were unable to add Dolby digital support to the console due to issues while testing. Albert Penello a spokemen for Microsoft was quick to point out that this is a issue that is being resolved although could not give a date in which Dolby would be added to the system. This is a big let down for me as I feel for a next gen console to not have decent sound output for the beggining is pretty poor however the isn’t much to be done about that. One of the other things supplied with the console is a 3 metre HDMI cable, which is pretty cool just in case you don’t have one.
