It's the ONE, I want ONE, Gimme ONE, XBOX ONE! Let's break it all down - here's the Necessities:
- XBOX ONE Hardware - ($499.99) - Duh.
- XBOX LIVE Subscription - ($59.99) - The original pioneer in the console online-gaming space, this service is the life-blood of the XBOX ONE and as we mentioned - you won't be able to take advantage of most of your hardware's capabilities without it.
- XBOX ONE Play & Charge Kit - ($24.99) - The new Impulse triggers won't save you from battery drain and unfortunately you'll be swapping AA batteries with a vengeance if you don't pick this bad boy up! Trust me, you'll thank me later.
- XBOX ONE Game - ($59.99) - Several known franchises are launching along side the console including : Call of Duty®: Ghosts, Battlefield 4 and Assassin's Creed® IV: Black Flag (Shark-Assassin).
To recap, the above gets you the console, Kinect Camera, one headset, one controller, one game and access to online-play. Now, you gotta ask yourself: am I going to play with anyone else locally (in the same room)? If the answer is "No", then you're fine but if you answered "Yes" - an Extra XBOX ONE controller will be necessary, which brings us to our ancillary purchases.
Here's our Extras:
Here's our Extras:
- Extra XBOX ONE Controller - ($59.99) - So you can play with someone else. (OR yourself)
- Extra XBOX ONE Play & Charge Kit - ($24.99) - Because batteries suck.
Adding it all up for the Necessities:
($499.99) + ($59.99) + ($24.99) + ($59.99) = ($644.96) * Sales Tax 10% (estimate) = $709.46
Adding it all up for ALL OF THE ABOVE:
($499.99) + ($59.99) + ($24.99) + ($59.99) + ($59.99) + ($24.99) = ($729.94) * Sales Tax 10% (estimate) = $802.93
