In a blog post published alongside a new Xbox One Day One edition unboxing video on Xbox Wire, Microsoft revealed several new details regarding its upcoming console and accessories as they unboxed the new machine, said to be one of 20 final-spec Xbox Ones in the world so far.
Most notably, the Xbox One Day One edition will include an Xbox One Chat Headset, reversing the policy Microsoft announced in June. (Note: IGN has confirmed with Microsoft that the Chat Headset will be included in every Xbox One and not just the limited-edition Day One versions of the console)

Some details:
When we say 4K HDMI cable, we mean it. The HDMI cable we’re including is an actual Category 2 HDMI cable, rated for 1080P, 3D and 4K, according to the HDMI 1.4 spec.

The built-in wireless on Xbox 360 just supported single-band A/B/G/N @ 2.4ghz. The Xbox One wireless radio is A/B/G/N, but supports dual-band 2.4ghz and 5ghz frequencies.

The console shown in the video is one of the first production units – less than 20 exist in the world (and yes, this box has the 853mhz GPU).

When you plug a micro-USB cable into the controller for wired gameplay, the internal radio is actually shut off, transmitting data through the wire. You can even use the controller without batteries in this mode.

Good. Last time when this was just a rumour I said they'd do it. Fairly cheap, good PR, removes a negative talking point, smart move.

So it's a normal HDMI cable? Got it.

As opposed to a company like, oh I don't know, Sony, who are including a top of the range headset for all your gaming needs.

Come on now.

You don't need batteries when you plug in the controller? That's nice I guess, just confirm whether the controller with have official PC support.

They're just kind of figuring it out as they go along, eh? Still, credit where credit is due for reversing yet another boneheaded decision.
