While the Xbox One Elite controller is sold out, the new Xbox One Elite console launches today, November 3, and is currently in stock. As announced previously, the $500 console sports a 1 TB solid state hybrid drive (which allows it to boot up 20 percent faster) and comes with the new, programmable controller.
The new SSHD should be an improvement over the existing hard drive. That’s because it “stores frequently accessed files on a solid state partition and optimizes system performance so you can get to the action up to 20 percent faster from energy-saving mode,” Microsoft said when it announce the console.
For the month of November, the Xbox One Elite console is sold exclusively at GameStop and Microsoft Stores. Microsoft previously referred to the bundle as “the ultimate gaming experience.”
