After the recent news that gamers would have to shell out extra cash for an official Xbox One headset - and the backlash to said news - Microsoft have made yet another change in policy and will now be including a free headset with the console.
It seems to be a growing trend that Microsoft will announce something, get a load of crap for it and then change their decision in the hopes of appeasing the gnashing beast that is the modern consumer. They're in a lose-lose situation where sticking to their guns makes them look anti-consumer, whilst bending to the whim of the gamers makes them look weak.
Will this news cause you to shell out for the Xbone?

Update: Turns out that there was a misprint somewhere along the line and Microsoft are in fact not including a headset after all.
