As players traverse the open-world of Sunset City, they use assault rifles and fantastical weapons (e.g., grenade launchers that shoot teddy-bear bombs, guns that shoot fireworks) to kill mutant creatures, robots, and occasional human enemies. Better to give consumers more room to spend, even if it costs a few more bucks during the manufacturing process.This is a third-person shooter in which players assume the role of a young survivor battling through a mutant apocalypse. But Microsoft's choice to cheap out on a 500 GB hard drive will surely lead to some gamers reducing or avoiding purchases when they run low on space instead of buying an external drive. The Xbox One supports external hard drives of course, and I love the extra space my 4 TB external gives me. That larger hard drive size really should be the default in this day of mandatory installations and downloadable games. The silver Call of Duty console that comes out next week will feature a 1 TB hard drive, offering twice the built-in storage space (at a higher price of $500). Less justifiable is the system's internal 500 GB hard drive. It also helps keep the price of the system down to $400 or less as opposed to $500, which means more systems sold. That makes perfect business sense given the low demand for Kinect among gamers. You can buy a Kinect to go along with it, but it will be black instead of white. You get a unique system and controller, plus a download code for one of this year's hottest Xbox One exclusives – a $60 value. The Sunset Overdrive Special Edition Xbox One is a wonderful package. But the white light on white plastic here creates a unique effect which I find very cool. Turn it on and the chrome lights up white, just like on the black console. When powered off, the logo has a metallic chrome color. The power button is shaped like the "X" part of the Xbox logo. Capacitive buttons are technologically impressive, but functionally worse since they're far too easy to press by mistake. The right side of the face is blank except for the capacitive power button. The area surrounding the slot and the Eject button on the right side of the slot are colored in chrome. On the left side of the console face lies the Blu-ray drive slot. It makes sort of a checkerboard pattern when you look at both the front and top at the same time – the glossy and matte parts alternate instead of continuing uninterrupted from the top to the front. The front of this Xbox One has matte white plastic on the left, glossy plastic on the right. It stands out a lot more than on the all-black console. When viewed from an angle, you can detect a large, dark circular area within the vent which is where the heat actually leaves the inside of the system. The entire right side of the system's top hosts a gigantic vent made from matte white plastic. An engraved Xbox logo sits at the bottom left corner of this area, towards the front edge of the system. On the left side, the plastic has a glossy finish. The top of the console consists of two primary areas. Still, it's fun to analyze the new console with a fine tooth comb and analyze the aesthetic choices involved in its design. Externally, the Sunset Overdrive console is identical to the original black Xbox One that we reviewed last year.
