There's a tiny Master Chief hidden inside the Xbox One S

People who have torn down the new 2TB Xbox One S have discovered that Microsoft has hidden an image of Master Chief, from the company's Halo game series, inside the console.

The Master Chief figure was discovered as part of the teardown of the Xbox One S by iFixit (via Reddit. The hero of the Halo saga can be found etched into part of the optical disc drive. Obviously, we don't recommend everyone who just got their Xbox One S to tear it apart just so you can see Master Chief, but it is very cool that Microsoft tucked inside a little Easter Egg like this.

It's currently unknown if the Master Chief figure will be etched inside all Xbox One S consoles or just in the launch versions.
