FEATURE: Xbox One - Launch Prices and Games

With the release of the Xbox One a few months away, I'd like to give you a guide on the current prices that are available, along with the initial launch games. The console will be released 22nd November 2013 in the UK, perfect timing for Christmas as well as releasing just a few days before the PlayStation 4 - It will certainly be interesting to see sales statistics, but for now let's get into the prices and bundles.

Amazon UK - £429.00
Zavvi - £428.95
Play - TBA
Argos - £429.00 (with FIFA 14 digital download)
Game - £429.99 (with FIFA 14 digital download)
ShopTo - £499.85 (with Forza 5 and 12 month Xbox LIVE subscription)

There are many other bundles on ShopTo and Game, including various games with each console, be sure to check them out ShopTo Various Bundles and Game Various Bundles. Most retailers are accepting pre-orders.

It's safe to say the average price is around £429.00 - practically every bundle will include the Xbox One console, a Kinect sensor kit, a HDMI cable, a 500GB hard drive, a Blu-Ray drive, and an Xbox One controller. I'm sure some sort of Xbox LIVE subscription will be thrown in too, if you are currently a Gold member, your account along with your gamerscore will be carried over to the Xbox One.

Let's get onto the initial launch titles, keep in mind these are based on UK release, so other countries may differ.

Personally, I'll be laying off buying the Xbox One upon release due to the lack of games that generally interest me, although Dead Rising 3 and Killer Instinct are definitely games I want to play eventually.

Retail games will cost around £45-50 at most known retailers, whilst I imagine the Xbox Live Arcade games will be around £5-20, depending on the particular game. Feature1
