[GoodBytes]

Microsoft announces a new XBox One model, called the XBox One Elite.

In addition, it include the new Elite controllers with all the adjustments you normally get, a controller announced at E3 retailing at $150.00 U.S by itself.

The new console model will retail at $499.99 U.S, and be available November 3rd.

SSHDs? The thing that improved game loading times on the PS4 by like 0.3 seconds?

[Bloodyvalley]

100 dollars for 500 more GBs

 

and faster boot time

 

what a time to be alive

[Misanthrope]

The SSHD is way overpriced, so it comes down to the new controller.....doesn't looks to cost all that much but well I'm not the best person to judge I haven't used controllers frequently for over a decade now.

[AMICLG]

What's the point of an SSHD as it's likely has 8GB of NAND, 16 GB max. If it can actively cache the next part of the level your playing I'd likely work great but I doubt they bothered to program it in.

I have forza 5 and Forza Horizon 2 with those 2 games and like..4 demos over 40% of my xbos hard drive is nommed...this practice of releasing larger HDD models later down the line needs to stop.

Tbh with games that Sony are coming out with Xbone makes less and less sense by the second.

[Dave :)]

How exactly does an SSHD improve game performance by 20%? Loading times - sure; but performance gains? 

 

EDIT: Says system performance...very misleading.

I'd only want one for Rare Replay.

You forgot the main feature: the new controller.

Out of all those games I know only battletoads and fuck me if I ever play the brutal game again.

 

Hayden Panettiere simulator and Uncharted remastered over that crap any day.

Silver colored bits are actual metal, not painted silver.

It is a controller where you can customize it.

[Real_PhillBert]

If I was in the market for an Xbox, I would certainly get this one. New controller, and an SSHD for the extra $100, seems like a decent deal to me.

Load time, of course.

How do you not know about Conker's Bad Fur Day? It's a classic

[minibois]

That's.. Actually a pretty good upgrade.

Never heard of it or saw it in my life. We probably had like one nintendo 64 in Lithuania and I sure as hell didn't have that one.

[werto165]

The elite controller is really nice, tried it at gamescom but I wouldn't buy one.

[PlayStation 2]

Dunno about you but adding an SSHD and a new controller doesn't cost $100.

And Banjo 1 and 2 (no thanks for 3/N&B, Perfect Dark and RC PRO AM?

And thanks to this collection and a few other games, the Xbox One seems way better than PS4 to me

...or you can get a decent PC and emulate all the games you want

n64 emulation is very spotty

[TheMidnightNarwhal]

I'd only want one for Rare Replay.

 

Or rare pepes...

[minibois]

...or you can get a decent PC and emulate all the games you want

 

1. not all those games you can emulate (there are some 360 games on it)

2. emulation doesn't always work flawlessly (glitches textures and stuff)

3. there are some Xbox One games I'm interested in too, not only this compilation.

 

Anyways, WAAAAY off topic

Dunno about you but adding an SSHD and a new controller doesn't cost $100.

The retail price of the controller is $150.
