Xbox One Elite 1 TB SSHD Bundle Now Available for Pre-Order

4.4
Do you want to get your hands on one of those spiffy newly announced Xbox One Elite bundles coming with the Elite controller and a one terabyte solid state hybrid drive? Now you can, as it’s finally available for pre-order.

You can find it at GameStop, Amazon or at Microsoft‘s own store. The price is the already announced $499.99, and it will ship on November 3rd.

Below you can see a couple of pictures, and a lovely 3D view, courtesy of GameStop.

Incidentally, since I’ve seen many get it wrong, the bundle includes a solid state hybrid drive, not a solid state drive. This means that only a small partition of the terabyte you get is a solid state cache. The rest uses a mechanical disk like your usual hard disk drive. While this still offers a nice gain in loading performance for your most used files (for instance the operating system), it’s not as relevant as the speed granted by a full fledged SSD.

That is, by the way, completely unsurprising, considering that a one terabyte SSD costs about $500 on its own, while a SSHD of the same size comes at a much more affordable eighty bucks.

The controller looks good, the hard drives are so simple to replace.

-Wasteland Im really debating if I should pick this up. Seems well worth the $500 price tag. Anybody else going to get this?


Not worth the $500, get one or $350 and swap the hdd.


If you want the elite controller and the hybrid SSHD then it would come to about $580. This is surprisingly a decent deal if you want those extra perks. If not, you could probably pick up a good regular bundle this black friday or cyber monday coming up. (Even a SSHD would be cheaper, but probably not an elite controller.)

the hard drive has faster loading times from what I've read; the controller is AMAZING, I have one myself and I LOVE it.

If I didn't already have an Xbox one, this would be the time I'd buy one.

I currently have the AW Xbox One, which came with 1TB. This looks like a cool deal, but I would much rather get the new Forza 6 or Halo 5 Xbox One, they are both really cool special editions with 1TB HDD. The Forza one is $399.99 and the Halo 5 one is $499.99.
