Was looking around and found this. New console has 1TB internal HD and the controller has a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Available June 15, 2015.

Edit: I posted a new video and link with more information about the console and controller (and announcement of a wireless adapter for PC) from Major Nelson: https://www.cheapassgamer.com/topic/346141-new-xbox-one-console-with-1tb-hard-drive-and-new-xbox-one-controller-available-pre-order-via-amazon-mistake-39999-ymmv-currently-oos/#entry12734190

Seems like they leaked the E3 announcement early. I saw rumors about the new controller a week back. So this would just confirm it to be true. Seems like a decent deal though.

Agree. The price difference in the real world between a 500GB and 1TB HD is minimal and I doubt people are going to flock to a $400 Xbox One given that it has hovered around $300 (well, usually $350 with a gift card or some other free stuff worth at least $50) for months now when you factor in all the various deals from Best Buy, Ebay, Groupon, etc...

Especially not when you can get an external harddrive for about $60 for 1GB/$90 for 2GB. Basically can get a 1.5GB Xbox One now for $410.

Maybe it will be a slim version of the console, that's the only way it could possibly make up for paying more.

They have to move the price back to $399.99 at some point so that they can keep saying the $349.99 price is "temporary." Increasing the HDD space would be a good time to do so, then they can move it back down to $349.99.

While it's a bigger hard drive, it seems overpriced without any game included.

I wonder if they'll mark it down $50 to keep up with how they've been doing the other consoles.

Maybe there's a digital download for something with the new sku but I agree go the external hdd route at this point.
