Microsoft Unveils Its Matte Black Xbox One With 1TB of Storage

Ahead of next week’s Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, Microsoft has officially unveiled the updated edition of the Xbox One. Featuring a new matte finish, the console is highlighted by 1TB of on-board storage — double that of the original design — for your games and media, as well as the capability to extend the console’s storage capacity via an external USB 3.0 drive. Packaged with the console is a newly redesigned wireless controller that now comes with a built-in 3.5mm stereo headset jack, thus infinitely expanding a user’s headset options.

Xbox One 1TB consoles will start shipping to retailers June 16 in the United States and select markets later this month and will be available starting at $399 USD — complete with Halo: The Master Chief Collection for a limited time. To coincide with the launch, the standard 500GB Xbox One’s price has been reduced to $349 USD.
