S&S News: Xbox One does not include headset

Microsoft has just confirmed that the Xbox One box will not include a headset, unlike the Xbox 360.

The new Xbox One headset is looking pretty slick, but you'll have to cough up extra cash if you want it.  A Microsoft rep today confirmed that it won't be included in the bundle.

"Xbox One does not include a pack-in headset accessory," a Microsoft representative said.

"Each Xbox One includes the new Kinect sensor, with a highly sensitive multi-array microphones designed to enable voice inputs and chat as a system-level capability, both in-game and with Skype and other experiences. For gamers who prefer a headset, we have a variety of offerings that you can find on the Xbox Wire."
