Xbox made a huge, and unexpected splash, at the annual Gamescom convention today in Cologne, Germany. Though the largest worldwide convention, the European event does not get a lot of first looks after the exhaustion that is E3 and San Diego. Not so today.
Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare Multiplayer Footage Revealed
Microsoft unveiled three new Xbox One bundles for the discerning fan out there and all releasing before the holiday season.
First up, the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Xbox One Bundle is something unreal. The system will contain an 1 TERAbyte hard drive (not a typo) and will also include a custom console, controller and Limited Edition exoskeleton, plus a digital copy of the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Day Zero Edition.

The DZ Edition includes several exclusive weapons like the AK-12G Assault Rifle, Crossbow B-2, Bullet Brass Exoskeleton and items EM1 Quantum Directed Energy Weapon. More importantly, people who pre-order the Day Zero edition will get an early 24 hour head start on playing the game.
The bundle launches November 3, a day before the game's full release. The tricked out system will cost $499/£429.99/€499.99 ERP at select retailers. No word on the list of retailers, but it's safe to say that Amazon will at least be in on the action.
The Sunset Overdrive bundle, which was previously leaked before being pulled from a British retailer, was officially announced and looks oh so pretty. Featuring a sleek white console and wireless controller, a digital copy of the game, and special Day One edition in-game items - all for $399/£349.99/€399.99 ERP starting Oct. 28, available for pre-order today. The dollar price was once thought to be much, much higher.
Lastly, football fans rejoice! An exclusive FIFA15 bundle for fans in Europe was also announced including an Xbox One Console, Xbox One Controller, 14 Day Live Trial, HDMI Cable, Chat Headset, a digital token for FIFA 15 and an Ultimate Team Legends Gold Pack, available for pre-order today, launching from Sept. 25 for £349.99/€399.99 while stocks last.
Ultimate Team Legends are available only on Xbox, and the Legends Gold Pack offers an increased chance in finding an ultra-rare Legendary player for your Ultimate Team. An Xbox 360 console bundle including "FIFA 15" will also be available in Europe starting Sept. 25 while stocks last.
Don't worry "other" football fans, there's a Madden 15 bundle hitting this month, too.
"We're excited to offer fans more choice and value than ever before," said Head of Xbox Phil Spencer. "These bundles offer a great opportunity to enjoy Xbox One alongside an incredible line-up of first and third party games, making Xbox the best place to play this holiday and beyond."
