Xbox One features a non-removable HDD

[Parker]

A 500gb HDD wouldn't be bad for a normal console, but the fact that Microsoft are forcing every single game to be installed to the HDD and not allowing us to upgrade to a bigger one is insulting. In fact, Microsoft's whole Xbox One reveal was an insult to actual gamers. I don't care about watching television on my Xbox that is already hooked up to a television, I don't care about Kinect, I care about games and that is something that was severely lacking at the conference. Hell, the only game I was interested in, Forza Motorsport 5, didn't even show gameplay.

 

I understand that Microsoft wanted this conference to be mainly about the console and there is nothing wrong with that. But when you're trying to sell a gaming console to gamers you really should show some games. Sony did a fantastic job showing the PlayStation 4 features while giving us actual gameplay from some awesome exclusives and I'm sure they have a lot more in store for E3. Microsoft should have done the same thing, instead they announced a bunch of features that pissed off the gaming community (seriously, who still uses batteries in a controller?) and left us with more questions than they answered.

I doubt a 500GB would be the only model at launch. The 360 and PS3 launched with the choice of different models with more GB's. They'll probably announce a bigger one further down the road closer to launch.

X-Box One non-removable HDD is the dumbest idea for a console ever.

At least they have given people here a lot of reasons to moan about xbox MTBF is pretty good in HDD's, you have as much chance if not more of a processor etc blowing.

but end of the day, if they are cheaper than ps4, xbox will still sell more hell if there is as much difference as there is this gen I may actually ponder it ...
