Xbox One S 500GB And 1TB Bundles Launch August 23rd, Pre-orders Start Today
If you want to get your hands on Microsoft’s brand new Xbox One S console, the fastest way to do it is to grab a 2TB bundle, which will be available on August 2nd. However, the 2TB Xbox One also happens to be the most expensive version, coming in at $399.
If $399 is out of your budget range for a new console, Microsoft just announced the availability date for the two cheaper Xbox One S consoles: the $349 1TB and $299 500GB models. Both will be available on August 23rd, although pre-orders for both consoles open today.
The Xbox One S Madden NFL 17 Bundle comes with (of course) a copy of Madden NFL 17, seven Madden Ultimate Team Pro Packs and a free month of EA Access. This particular bundle only comes with the 1TB hard drive and will be priced at $349. If you pre-order now, Microsoft will also toss in a code that will give you 20 percent off a purchase at NFLShop.com.
The Xbox One S Halo Collection Bundle includes digital copies of Halo 5: Guardians and Halo: The Master Chief Collection. The Xbox One S Halo Collection Bundle is available in 500GB and 1TB SKUs priced at $299 and $349 respectively.
“We’re continuing to offer our fans the best choices to enjoy the games they want to play, with the people they want to play with and on the devices they want,” writes Microsoft’s Major Nelson. “Whether fans suit up as a Spartan or an NFL quarterback, we look forward to offering them the ultimate gaming and entertainment experiences on Xbox.”
The Xbox One S is 40 percent smaller than the original Xbox One and includes a new Bluetooth-enabled wireless controller. It also supports 4K gaming and a new IR blaster.
