Xbox One plans reportedly leak, White Xbox One and cheaper models inbound

4.7
With 2014 just getting started, a user over at NeoGAF is apparently dropping a knowledge bomb of information about Microsoft’s plans for the upcoming year. As with all leaked info, take it with a healthy does of salt as none of it has been verified but much of it does align to whispers we have heard from around the web.

Posted below is the information that has been stated so far and none of it seems all that far-fetched; the biggest item may be the Xbox One for $399 without an optical drive. Of course, a drive-less Xbox One rumor has popped up before but nothing sounds concrete at this time; most of the other information is related to games that will be released during 2014.

  • Forza Horizon: "Fall 2014, probably September. Super sexy weather system and... lots of co-op/social stuff. 1080P and open-world, so you can road trip with your bros."
  • White Xbone incoming.
  • Why all the leaks? Scared you might get caught? "I am incapable of fear. Plus, this is such exciting stuff, and me talking about it ahead of time isn't going to hurt anything, truthfully. We're all chomping at the bit for it to come out. This is not bad. "
  • Halo Anniversary 2 will be 1080p, iffy on the 60fps, maybe not.
  • Quantum Break is Holiday 2014
  • Multiplayer confirmed for HA2, same devs as Halo Anniversary.
  • Sunset Overdrive is Fall 2014
  • Black Tusk cancelled project was called "Shangheist." May have involved stealing stuff from the Chinese (though I think that may have been a reference to the name and maybe not the gameplay? Not sure...)
  • Fable Legends is Summer 2015
  • Halo 2 Anniversary includes beta for Halo 5
  • Gears of War will probably need a 2.5 year dev time.
  • First Titanfall DLC is 45 days from release, then another one 120 days from release.
  • No Crackdown 3 news this year most likely, since it's a 2016 title.
  • $399 XB1 this year? "Maybe one without an Optical Disc Drive."
  • 1TB XB1 in November (Limited Edition)
One item that does stand out is a white version of the Xbox One. We already know that Microsoft has made a console in this color, but it was previously only given to the team who helped make the console. It’s not that far-fetched that they would switch the die for the plastic back to white and pump out the consoles to help move a few more units once black becomes a bit common in stores around the US.

The good news for those of you who are in territories where the Xbox One is not on sale yet, posted below are the reported plans for the Xbox One to be released in additional territories.

Japan China S. Korea Poland Taiwan Czech Republic Singapore Hungary Hong Kong Greece Russia Portugal Sweden Slovakia Norway Turkey Finland Saudi Arabia Denmark South Africa Colombia UAE Chile Israel Argentina India Indonesia Egypt

As with all rumors, especially one like this, be cautious as the information could be off target. With that being said, if accurate, Microsoft's can of beans just got spilled on the web and if it holds true, it should be an exciting year for the Xbox One.

Hundreds also, without the disc drive you realize you would have to download all your games. That means paying $60 per game for the rest of your xbox one's life. No selling games or anything, which I understand isn't a big issue. But later on down the road I would like to buy used games, because some aren't worth the full $60. Plus eventually your hard drive will get full and if you don't have great net it will take hours to install a game as most are 20gb+

I just hope eventually they give out some sort of incentive to us people who bought the console day one at the full price.
If i remember correctly they did so with 360 day one owners


They meen swaping out the drive with a less expensive one. Not completely getting rid of it...


Are't the xb1 games on blue ray?

Aruss94 no you noobs. If they make a cheaper model. they would get rid of kinect. thats on e main reason why its 500 right now. It would be cool if they got rid of the disk drive though


Exactly, in the xb1's current state they cannot drop the price. They would have to rid of some optimal features, like the kinect or disc drive. Until then $500 is here to stay, which isnt even bad.

No it is bad, who would pay 500 dollars for an xbox one kinetic seriously its stupid

WittPosted:

if that titan console comes out, im getting it hands down.

CearnsyPosted:

That Titan xbox looks sick

POLYSICSPosted:

HALO 2 ANNIVERSARY?

This is almost tempting to actually buy the console.

TravestyPosted:

Meds I dont like it white I like the black it look better


I think the white looks sick! Better than the just black one.

EnvelopePosted:

Its about time, im not paying for a console for 400$
