The Verge: Xbox One update arriving in March, white console later this year

So I came here and the world has exploded from conspiracy theories to leaks leaks and more leaks, can someone who stayed awake please chronicle what exactly happened here...

Check out the locked threads. Bish said keep it OT In here.

It's funny that last gen we started white then went black and this time it's the opposite.

How could you NOT want in on that?

...huh. Well, the white Xbone looks kind of nice actually. Makes it look slightly less VCRish. Wish they'd just release a slimmer version, I don't got room for all that yo.

I think the white version will probably be the same price ($500, provided there are no cuts from now til then), but what about the 1TB version? Hopefully they'll lower the base unit price and release the 1TB version at $500.

More legitimacy? Hmm, interesting. I wonder about the Verge's "sources." They seem pretty confident.

Anyway, I'm sad to see those threads closed, but at least it doesn't feel so chaotic anymore.

Carry on Gaf :)

Okay, if you really insist
Titanfall bundle, 1 TB Hard drive, Regular edition, Driveless console, how many SKU's can MS make without 1. Confusing the customer and 2. Selling off the overflowing regular edition stock that is on shelves now?

The White Xbox One definitely looks more appealing than the black one to me. Hope they make it a standard color down the line so it's still around when I pick up an XBO
 
White console seems nice, wonder what the box art would look like. Would kind of confusing for a non gamer or whatever to walk pass that xbox stand and see green, black, and white? boxes all selling the same product basically. That white console has nothing to do with the all digital SKU right?

No release date for the Netherlands? Come on! And a 1TB version? That's a nice fuck you to early adopters, who have no way to upgrade their hard drive. :/

I'd be into the white version, but all my other electronics are black, and I'd prefer that they match.

Just leave it in the box, where it belongs.
Exactly what I was thinking, haha. I really hope we'll see a Kinectless SKU for as cheap as possible by next fall.

I always thought the XB1 looked surprisingly nice in white. It's one of the things that'd convince me to buy the system actually.

Say what? Huh? No.

Give me a $350 Kinect'less white Xbox One and I might bite. That is if my conscience allows me to forget all the shit they've been pulling and peddling the last year.
 
I really don't know what to do now. That white console looks sexy as all hell, and it might come at a lower price point and with improved internals. On the other hand, the black one would blend in with the rest of my setup better, and I want a new Xbox sooner rather than later. Decisions, decisions...
 
If I were to assume the info is correct:

So bad that they won't release X1 to the other launch countries before Titanfall.

I would consider switching out my X1 for one with no disc drive and 1TB+ hard drive. Assuming I didn't have to pay anything or very little doing so.

I hope the update is good and is indeed released before Titanfall so all the troubles with parties being shit etc are fixed before then.

No, I don't think I would get a white box. Even though it looks gorgeous.

October is a long way off. Assuming there are games you want to play before then, pick up a black one. But perhaps wait as lo as you can to see if a price cut comes or a titanfall bundle (in case you're looking forward to that)

What other 'crazy' stuff did ntkrnl post? Can anyone summarise, since I've missed it.

On a side note, give me a $350 Kinect'less white Xbox One and I might bite. That is if my conscience allows me to forget all the shit they've been pulling and peddling the last year.

Ahem.
 
Well If there was a white Xbox one I would be very tempted if it came to the UK.

I think most of these rumours are made up crap. Lets face it, a discless console with only 500gb? Hell even if it were 1TB it wouldn't work

Just looked at Article... No one mentioning the rumour of this badass console?

I would get that day one. Make it happen MS and you have a sale!

I would assume the April release in Tier 2 countries is due to Microsoft wanting as many Xbox One's available as possible for when Titanfall comes out in case it blows up big in UK, US and the rest of Tier 1.

Why not every game installs to the HD wether you buy it on disc or not.
