New Xbox One Elite Bundle loads games 20 percent faster

In addition to the sleek Special Edition Lunar White Wireless Controller, Microsoft also unveiled today a brand new Xbox One Elite Bundle. Getting its name from the Elite controller bundled with it, the Xbox One itself has also seen some upgrades.

In addition to a matte finish, the Xbox One Elite Bundle includes a 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive which, as described by Microsoft, " 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."

And, of course, the Bundle comes with the new Xbox Elite Wirless Controller. Revealed back in June, this performance-class controller offers fully customizable features, interchangeable paddles, customization with the Xbox Acessories app, Hair Trigger Locks, and "high-performance construction."

The Xbox One Elite Bundle is set for release worldwide in November, and will be priced at $499. In the U.S., the bundle only be available at GameStop and Microsoft Stores starting Tuesday, November 4th. You can pre-order today, however.
