Microsoft Announces Xbox One S Gears Of War 4 Bundles In White, Blue Variants
On the eve of Gears of War 4's October 11 launch, Microsoft has announced a pair of bundles to coincide with its Fall blockbuster.
For $349, you can get a white Xbox One S with 1TB of hard drive space, the new bluetooth-enabled Xbox Wireless Controller, and a copy of Gears of War 4.
The other bundle, retailing for $299, includes a special edition "deep blue" edition of the Xbox One S, a 500GB hard drive, and a copy of the game. This bundle is sold exclusive at GameStop (Disclosure: GameStop is the Game Informer parent company) and Microsoft Stores in the United States (EB Games and Microsoft Stores in Australia).
We should note all bundles sold at GameStop will include a physical copy (which does not include Microsoft's new Play Anywhere initiative). Otherwise, it will be a digital download (which will include Play Anywhere).

Our Take
If I didn't have an Xbox One already, I'd be tempted by the deep blue console, but might hesitate at the 500GB hard drive. I suppose you could swap it out, though.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
