Microsoft’s Xbox All Acccess bundles are back. Now comes with Game Pass Ultimate and X version has an upgrade program for Scarlett
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
It really would. I am sure the hardcore are buying it off right away but if the option is there to spread and it has Live/Game Pass etc bundled, seems like a great idea.
Yep. I hope they keep it and expand to more countries for Scarlett, a deal like this could push me for a day-one or launch window purchase
Very clever of you. Iirc the xbox one released on November 7 so it all makes sense.
So I guess this means Scarlett being $399? Or $499? Any guesses? I mean, you get an X now and in total you pay $480 and then you even got the new console.
If I can upgrade in 12 months time from today, I expect the box October 28th of next year or prior.
I wonder how it will work though. Will retailers set aside part of their launch inventory for people with this All Access deal? First come first serve?
It's an interesting idea in the context of the half step consoles we got this gen. What if you just paid $30 a month in perpetuity and you got a new upgraded console every two years?
Yes but you also get the upgrade option. You pay $480 in total for gamepass, live and a console you can upgrade.
Also assuming upgrading to Scarlett doesn't cost extra, if you take away the price of GamePass we're looking at $384. I think we're looking at a $399 price point for launch. I expect Sony to match. Microsoft is banking hard on services for the next console cycle. I'd expect to see Sony launch a similarly price service with the launch of PS5 (Outside of Now)
There you have it, then. On a Tuesday, too. Start saving your pennies.
edit: er, 5th is a thursday next year woops
get it on the 5th, update it so you can play on the 6th, friday!
I assume you will need to excercise this option until a specific date so basically "pre order" it.
You only get the upgrade option with the X, which is $31x24=$744.
otherwise you have to wait 6 months afterScarlett os out
you guys subtracting gamepass are crazy too. You can get a full year for $30-$40 by looking out for deals already.
The X package with the Scarlett upgrade is $30.99 per month. Or $743.76 total. Considering that A) You have to trade in a year old X to get Scarlett, and B) There are numerous ways to get Game Pass over two years for far less than the monthly cost, I wouldn't read TOO much into this being indicative of Scarlett pricing.

I mean that was quite know already they said holiday 2020. So that usually for console November. :)
So to be able to get a Scarlett on all access at launch you have to take this X deal now ? Or will you be able to do it with Scarlett at launch ?
Ah, got it now. Still you also get Live and gamepass included in that.
Layaway doesn't let you take the product home until its paid for in full.
This is just a financing option; definitely not something a smart consumer would go for since you can find an XBX marked down easily enough.
No, this isn't a trade-in program for already purchased X's. This is only if you're financing a new one with their $30.99 per month program.
No. You are paying for a lease of a console along with access to XBL and GP.
Your $300 for a used X on E-Bay will not get you Ultimate, nor will the seller give you access to a Scarlett next year.
So if you have to make 18 equivalent payments before you're eligible for the upgrade (t&c's I think), if Scarlet is out in 12 months, will you have to pay the 6 months outstanding upfront? If so, how many months are required to pay after that, if any?
EDIT: oh wait, it's 18 months if used against an S and 12 months with a One X.

Let me know when you wanna lease some furniture or applicanes. I got some I can sell you for double the price if you really want em that bad.
The best Game Pass deal I've seen in recent time is 6 months for $40. Not sure where you are finding a year for $30
I really doubt the Scarlett upgrade will be without extra costs. Looks like you will upgrade your All-Access sub once you decide to get Scarlett. So you will probably buy another 2-year access for probably another 30 or so each month.
