The Elite controller for the Xbox One was announced at E3 this year, the announcement of the controller was met with a lot of positive feedback. The reason for another controller allows the more “hardcore” players to have an even more precise controller which allows players to map out their controller to their own preferences.
Now following on with that announcement Microsoft have announced the Xbox One Elite Bundle which is very different from the Xbox 360 Elite Bundle. The bundle consists of the Elite controller and a 1TB Solid State hybrid hard drive console which comes in a sleek matte black finish. The Solid state hybrid drive will store frequently accessed files on the solid state partition of the hard drive which means it will decrease load times and can start the console up from power saving mode 20% faster.
From the press release from Xbox says that “Games and gamers are at the centre if everything we do and we’re always looking for ways to offer the best ways to play on Xbox.” The Xbox staff are still looking to make the Xbox the best possible experience for players all around and trying to deliver a console worthy of their statement.
The Xbox Elite Bundle is priced at $499 USD (Which translates to roughly £330 GBP) and the controller alone will be priced at $149.99 USD or £119.99 GBP. The Bundle will be available in North America, Tuesday 3rd November, with likely Europe release same time or shortly after.
There will also be the release of the Xbox One Special Edition Lunar White Wireless Controller which will be exclusive to Gamestop in the US and will be priced at $64.99 USD, details on the UK version have not been released yet.
