Xbox One will receive two firmware updates, one of which will allow for storage management

Microsoft has released news that two updates are coming for Xbox One owners. The first should be coming early next week to give users the option of managing their hard drive space and download queue. A feature much requested by fans of the Xbox 360.

Alongside that are improvements like USB keyboard support and a battery power indicator for the Xbox One controller. Microsoft Marc Whitten hints that they have several surprises in store. The second update is coming March 4th to prepare for the launch of Titanfall.

"The official Xbox One Stereo Headset and Headset Adapter should be coming in early March"

Microsoft has finally revealed their long sought after first-party Headset and Headset Adapter for Xbox One. Dubbed the official Xbox One Stereo Headset, it should be coming in early March and sports a unidirectional mic and over-the-ear speakers. The Headset Adapter comes packed in, but will also be sold separately, allowing you to plug in an existing headset you may already own.

The Adapter will let you control the volume, chat audio, and mute your mic from the controller. The Xbox One Stereo Headset will retail for $79.99 and the Headset Adapter will be $24.99. You'll have to pay a little scratch to use a last-gen headset, but at least we have a solution to our Xbone audio woes. Now if only I could find a fight stick that doesn't cost 200 bucks...
