There's is no way that Xbox Series S design is real lol. By far the ugliest console I have ever seen, legitimately looks like a speaker.

I'm still thinking they are going to go with a $299 Digital Edition and $399 Disc version. With there being no difference between the PS5 DE and Series S as far as price goes, that will completely kill the strategy Microsoft was going for.
Nope. Lol. 399. 499(Maybe 549) is the most likely scenario.

If the lack of a disc drive really did allow MS to get to $299, I'd expect PS5DE to be $399 (regular PS5 $499 of course)

It straight up does look like a speaker though lol.

But people should get ready for ugly console designs from here on out. These things have to prioritize cooling and things of that nature.

Although an MS SKU price was unofficially revealed first, and knowledge in Sony's case is indeed power, I could see Microsoft reveal prices first and still adjust prices accordingly if Sony tries to undercut them. I think MS is more willing to sell their consoles at a loss than Sony. Period. Full Stop.

I can't see Sony undercutting a $299 price point either way.

This is excellent. The first silo has been launched. Hopefully this kickstarts everything else.

The only thing not making sense is why would Xbox wait until now to reveal the price if its $299. At $299, they should have known they won the price war.

That detail is the only thing making me skeptical. Also, the console design is hideous. No way that is the final look of the console.

A $300 Series S is good for everyone. Feeling a little more confident on the PS5 DE being $400 now

Any word on if the PS5 allows audio to go towards headphones and your tv simultaneously?

They had this obviously convenient streaming feature in for PS3 and took it out for PS4. Why?

Too late... I have photosensitive epilepsy, already clicked. Thankfully I quickly closed it, hopefully won't trigger later like it sometimes does.
I'm really sorry to hear that. I know a couple people who deal with photosensitive epilepsy and those kinds of images can trigger them as well. Hopefully you won't have to deal with a recurrence later.

I'm sorry, I deleted the post now. Something like that happening never crossed my mind.
It's alright, appreciate the removal. Youtube vids are worst, a lot of streamers/broadcasters don't put warnings and you suddenly get hit with strobe in a feature or something. Happened once and later at my desk doing work I had a seizure and cut my face open narrowly missing the eye. All good fun🤪

I really wonder where the price for the digital edition of the PS5 will fall now...

Nah, that would show weakness.

They will let the prices rock.

I've been seeing warnings for this stuff since I was a kid and never bothered to check what it actually was, until now. It's really fucked up, my bad :\

If MS was as willing to undercut Sony on price as people believe, they wouldn't have made two consoles in the first place.

Already saw people comparing this XSS price leak with the PS1 price mic drop lmao, after that I'm going to sleep and hoping that nothing big happens this dawn.

Well I think it's confirmed... Xbox Series S is made by Ikea (almost):

Nah. Series S is rumored to have weaker hardware as well as the lack of a disk drive. That doesn't seem to be the case with the PS5DE. If the only difference between the PS5 SKUs is the drive, I can't imagine PS5DE retails for less than $400. $450 is what I'd guess actually. Though $599 PS5 and $499 PS5DE could even be a possibility.

So I see we got leaks.

For hte wrong console :(

Curious to see how digital consoles sell, and I'm glad they're there for people who want them. But care more for the prices on consoles with disc drives.

There's no way Sony launches their 2 next generation consoles and the cheapest one is 200 bucks more expensive than Xbox's cheaper one.
