Microsofts Xbox One will now include a headset as part of the standard bundle, its reported, with the company apparently having another change of heart and opting to include the accessory after gamers voiced their dissatisfaction. The Xbox One Chat Headset had initially been billed as a separate purchase, but according to information from the official Microsoft distributor for the console, ElectronicTheatre reports, will now be thrown in the box too.

News of the changed standard package came from distributor Gem, which apparently notified retailers today. The companys online listing for the Xbox One has not yet been updated to include the adjustment.

I guess MS had a change of heart after they said all that "Oh just use are beautiful new Kinect as a mic." lol. Personally a good choice for MS imo.

I'm glad that Micorsoft are realising that they were in the wrong and now they are rectifying their mistakes, good move Microsoft better late then never.

What I don't get is the chat headsets are around $20 in the stores that I had gone too, but for even cheaper on ebay and other online sites I found that you can get a low quality (around the same as the xbox mics) for around $10, and it is a full headset which plays in game volume.

Why don't they switch to full headsets? That is my question.

Somewhere along the lines of casual gamers and money i'm sure. I guess people that want an ear free coukd use Kinect but then again there are people that wouldn't go out and by the Xbox One only $60 headsets they're making if it came witha full headset as not all people care about super high quality full headsets for FPS, but sometimes just like the feel of a full headset.

Yes I was hoping this would happen. I didn't want to spend any money on something that should be included with the console.

Thank god they have included this. There would be many people just using the kinect as a mic, and that would be horrible. I agree as well they are doing better on realizing their mistakes and improving their console.

A wise decision, I really like the look of the new Mic, and they probably could have cost anywhere from 35-40 if we didn't have them included, which would have sucked.

I felt like it was a rip off without the headset in it. I'm glad they took the communities feedback n this.
