if its successful this holiday, i will love to see how they price this model for scarlett. will most likely be what i do!
Yet i can buy cheap XBL 1 Gold sub for $30-40 ( there are deals all the time ) or Gamepass monthly sub for what....3$ and X1X for 449. Yes, it's cheaper AT ONCE

I think this kind of plans could work better than just game streaming. Hopefully it catches on with Sony and Nintendo.
Not a big fan of these rent to own plans but it does open the door for more people to own something expensive but if they lose their job or something bad happens then your credit is fucked
I guess they get to keep the Xbox even if they don't make a payment like cell phones
Damn. Microsoft is really going all out. While this might seem desperate to others, it almost guarantees they'll start the next gen with their feet running ablaze.
I've played a lot of the older games on game pass and don't have much interest in the ones I haven't already played. New games on day 1 is pretty awesome, but again, I'm not interested in many of the MS games coming out. I loved State of Decay 2. I'm looking forward to Gears 5. I'll probably want to try Crackdown 3. That's not enough for a game pass subscription.
Once game pass has more day 1 MS exclusives games that I want to play, it will be more attractive.
But that's not the case here (and spare me the "you can get it all cheaper if you look around enough" line, no one compares value like that on any product). I'd go so far to say that if one was going to buy this stuff anyway, they'd be an idiot to not do this. Just take the ~$800 it'd cost upfront and put it into a bank account that the payment plan draws from. It'll finish with a few bucks in it.
What makes you think they arnt? Why should US gamers have to wait until deals are made worldwide? US is the most important market so it does make sense it gets priority.
It's not really rent to own in the sense of Rent A Center or something like that. You're getting a credit line from Dell to pay Microsoft in full for the device and services, so you technically own it from the beginning. You can always pay off the remaining amount as well. The biggest draw of this is the 0% APR for people who can't swallow >$500 leaving their account at once.
Mocking the idea of financing a purchase like this is tasteless, even for those of us who wouldn't need it. If you truly don't get it, think of it like a phone, because that's a standard practice there as well.
Interesting concept.
It looks rather limited with all the sign up requirements, but could serve the grow the overall gaming market if its expanded out to everybody

It's a pretty fucking good deal if you planned to get Game Pass anyway, not even accounting for interest, it is cheaper than buying all of it at once. For $35 I'd probably be tempted to sub, but of course I live in Peru so no way this is available here.
This is incredible. If they bring this deal into next gen there is virtually no way they don't become the dominant platform in the U.S. American buyers will be all over this. Microsoft just has to scream from the rooftops that this deal exists.
Xbox 1 X :$500
Xbox Gamepass: $60/6months x 4 = $240
Xbox Live Gold: $60/12 months x 2 = $120
500 + 240+120 = $860
You pay: 35 * 24 = $840
It comes with 2 years of live (120) and 2 years of gamepass (240).
Edit: love. Lol.
Well the financing has to come from someone. Unless there is something different about this process, you should be able to walk into the store and the application process is done there.
Why would it mean that? Doesn't the One S come out to like $168 if you break down the pricing?
I always thought Dell approved anybody till one of my buddies got denied there with a credit score in the low 500's. So I guess it depends on your def of "difficult."
Unless you have really bad credit, I don't see why someone wouldn't get approved for something like this.
Let's be realistic, there are always some deals for Gold, Gamepass and X1. On monthly basis.
If they do someone would still be in the contract.
Looking at XBOX from four years ago they just keep sweetening the pot. It genuinely surprises me there is no finance charges.
It is selling services that someone might not buy like gamepass.
Looks like they are aligning themselves up for next gen maximizing service purchases and getting rid of some XBOX s models that might not be sold.
They are looking to take America back at least.
It's $35/month for two years. I don't even think they look at your credit for something that low.
I have good credit for a 20 year old but actually applied to Best Buy and got denied so
So they're providing $840 of credit, of course they're going to check your credit rating.
Yes. You are buying it, you're just spreading the payments out over two years and are required to keep an active Xbox live gold and game pass subscription.
Yea. You technically own it from day 1 as the Dell credit is just paying off the price to Microsoft and you're paying Dell back.
You can always pay it off early too.
But its not...
Unless you know a place where i can buy a XB1S for less than 50$ new, in which case please hook me up.
I probably wont buy a XB1 either way, but if they offer a similar deal with similar value once Scarlet launches, i will be in day one.
I don't think anyone is arguing that you couldn't find this stuff cheaper individually.
Well sure, it's not the case if you pretend all the other cheaper methods don't exist. Then yeah it's an amazing deal.
This is all tied to your Microsoft account, right? I already pay for GamePass, but I'm on PC. So I'm guessing this $35 a month would still allow me to use GamePass on PC? I'd just be paying $25 more a month for two years for a One X, which I've been tempted to pick up for a while.
This is fucking genius. Wish I wouldn't have bought my Xbox One X until now lol. Financing a $499 purchase through this program over two years would have been the way to go. Total game changer for me.
When Xbox does bring out next-gen, this will change how I buy my next console from them in a good way. If I can finance a high-end console over two years, I am far more likely to adopt at a premium level, and far earlier than usual. Fucking genius, MS. Big time props.

Then people should calculate how is it now, not repeat over and over it's 60$ for 1 year GOLD sub or Game Pass 1 Year 120$
Gold 1 month for 2$

Game Pass 1 month also for 2$ :

Surely you can also find X1X for less than 499.
And just like a phone contract it will be perfect timing for the next console to come out, so they get you hooked in for another 2 year plan. Then 2 years after that they may have a Xbox Two X.
