There’s a new Xbox One console bundle coming in fall 2014 that upgrades the stock 500GB hard drive to a 1TB drive, as Microsoft’s Phil Spencer revealed during the company’s Gamescom press conference. There’s more to it than that, but storage-conscious gamers that have been holding off on an Xbox One may want to take another look.

It’s a Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare bundle that includes a custom-designed Xbox One console and controller, complete with COD-inspired sound effects. The set also includes a game download of Advanced Warfare‘s “Day Zero Edition,” which offers 24 hours of early access (with double XP in multiplayer) to the game, along with an assortment of digital goodies.

Pre-orders are open now for the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Xbox One bundle; you can grab one yourself for $500.

The best external hard drives for the Xbox One

Every Xbox One gamer is bound to run into the issue of managing their game collection -- after all, the original Xbox One came with a paltry 500GB of storage. While the Xbox One S and Xbox One X doubled the console's internal storage capacity, as did the new Xbox Series X and S, hitting that memory threshold is still a problem for anyone with a serious gaming collection. You can easily fill the 500GB with just a handful of titles -- not to mention Game Pass additions -- especially given how many feature regular updates that require more memory.

Luckily, adding storage to an Xbox One is pretty simple. The right external hard drive connection can solve all your storage woes and make culling through your game collection a thing of the past. And when you're ready to upgrade, having all your games on an external drive makes the transfer process dead simple. Here, we've rounded up some of the best external hard drives for Xbox One on the market.

Xbox One players complain about 66GB update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Call of Duty Modern Warfare

The latest update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare requires a 66GB download for Xbox One players, far larger than the sizes of its PlayStation 4 and PC counterparts.

The update, which applies several general fixes that includes the removal of some maps from certain game modes, requires only a 1.2GB download for the PlayStation 4 and up to 1.83GB for the PC. Infinity Ward blames "an unforeseen bug" with Microsoft's patch delivery process for the bloated update file for the Xbox One.
