Microsoft announces limited edition white Xbox One with Halo: The Master Chief Collection

The video game console wars are really heating up lately, with both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 selling well. Unfortunately, I still do not own either console, although I briefly had the PS4 before returning it. I am really impressed with the Microsoft ecosystem lately, so I have been considering buying Xbox One. When it comes to money, however, I am notoriously frugal.

Today the inside of my wallet may see some daylight. You see, Microsoft announces a beautiful new Xbox One model with an angelic white color. Best of all, it will come with the Halo Master Chief Collection Bundle at the same low $349.

"For a limited time, Xbox fans in the U.S. can get their hands on an Xbox One Special Edition Halo: The Master Chief Collection Bundle featuring a sleek, Cirrus White Xbox One console and wireless controller. The bundle also comes packed with a digital download code for Halo: The Master Chief Collection -- the essential Halo fan experience that features the Master Chief's complete story through four free Halo games: Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo 3 and Halo 4", says Major Nelson.

The Xbox guru further explains, "the Xbox One Special Edition Halo: The Master Chief Collection Bundle will be available later this month in very limited quantities and for a limited time at participating US retailers while supplies last -- so once they're all gone, they’re all gone! Check with your local retailers for more details and be sure to grab yours before it’s too late".

Not only is the console a beautiful "cirrus white", but so is the controller. This will surely be a popular bundle for both game players and collectors alike. For whatever reason, white versions of tech tend to spark interest, and this should be no exception.

Will this white Xbox One get you to become an owner of the console like me? Tell me in the comments.
