New Delhi: Microsoft's XBox One video game console will be available in India starting September 23. Priced at Rs 39,990, the Xbox One system will include the Xbox One console - which features a 500GB hard drive, Blu-ray player and built-in Wi-Fi, one Xbox One Wireless Controller, and a free 14-day trial of Xbox Live Gold for new members.

The company will also launch the Xbox One with Kinect at Rs 45,990. Gamers choosing this version will be able to experience a number of games and entertainment experiences exclusive to Xbox including gesture controls, biometric sign-in, controller paring, Skype video calls, instant personalisation, instant scanning of QR codes, and other features only available with Kinect in games such "Kinect Sports Rivals," "Dead Rising 3," and "Project Spark."

The new device interacts with a user's television, responds to voice and gesture commands, and includes Skype video calling. It has 8 gigabytes of memory, with an updated controller and new-generation Kinect sensor that communicates a user's voice and gesture commands to the console.

The technology is built on the Xbox operating system and the kernel of Windows software to handle Internet-based content.

The Xbox One chiefly competes with Sony's PlayStation 4.

The Xbox One won't quite replace your TV set-top box, but it comes awfully close. The latest game console from Microsoft takes a big leap toward being the main entertainment hub in your living room. It gives you a program guide for browsing what's on TV and what's highlighted in apps such as Netflix and Amazon.

You can listen to music and view photos stored on Microsoft's SkyDrive service. You can make Skype video calls. And, of course, you can even play games.

What's your reaction?
