Microsoft's next-generation console...ahh...living room entertainment hub will not ship until this November, but still promises to light up the holiday shopping season. The company already showed it off and announced games, plus my colleague Derrick Wlodarz recently laid out very good reasons why he expects this war to be won by Xbox, as opposed to Sony and its PS4, which is expected around the same time.
Now potential customers can get one more sneak peak at what to expect. In a new video from Xbox Live chief Larry Hryb, better known as MajorNelson, the new console is unboxed -- something many a person likely hopes to be doing themselves this holiday season.
The three-and-half minute video reveals not only what the packaging will look like, but unveils each included item, one at a time. We already knew the set would come with the Kinect, but also revealed is a headset, a 4k rated HDMI cable, controller and the console itself.
Hryb goes into some detail talking about each piece, including showing off all of the connectors on the rear of the console, as well as talking a bit about the other pieces included in the package.
