Microsoft announces Xbox One Elite, to load games 20 percent faster

Gearing up for the holiday season, Microsoft has announced an Xbox One Elite bundle following their hard drive upgrades and various themed consoles, including that beautiful Halo 5: Guardians edition. The Xbox One Elite will include a 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive and the $150, high performance Elite controller with interchangeable parts that was unveiled at this year's E3 event. The SSD, according to Xbox Wire, “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.”
