This has interesting implications for the One's gamepad in PC applications, which we'll assuredly explore more in the coming weeks as Gamescom returns to Cologne, Germany for another year of Euro-style game news. Moreover, when the One's gamepad is plugged in, the internal wireless radio is turned off and it transmits data through the wire (which was not the case with the 360 gamepad).

Both the standard and Day One editions cost $500, and both now include a wired Xbox One headset - something that was previously excluded from the retail box.Īlso of note, the video's subsequent blog post reveals that Xbox One gamepads recharge using microUSB rather than the proprietary cable used for charging Xbox 360 gamepads. If you were one of the lucky few (thousand) to get in on Day One Edition pre-orders, you'll be getting the same stuff as standard edition pre-order folks, albeit with some extra "Day One Edition" branding flair - the gamepad says "Day One Edition" on it and has a chrome d-pad, and there's an achievement exclusive to DOE owners.

There are still a few months until its November launch, but the Xbox One is already ready for primetime, apparently.
