Was Xbox One X upgrade worth it to you? Good thing Microsoft designed this launch so you can wait if you're not ready

Yeah very puzzling. I see the argument that PS5DE would make up for the low cost through digital purchases as digital only, but then so is Lockhart supposedly
Exactly, I'm sure that they will make it cheap, instead of 50-100$ cheaper console than PS5 as some people think.Yeah very puzzling. I see the argument that PS5DE would make up for the low cost through digital purchases as digital only, but then so is Lockhart supposedly
i love my one x, but that was a mid gen refresh, this is the start of their new generation, i expect more, like a new game that really utilizes the hardware to give us something new that visually couldn't be done on previous hardware. We had such games at the launches of the xbox 360 and the xbox one.
I personally think PS5DE is going to be $499 (and PS5 $599, like XSX). That's why I think XSS would be relatively well positioned at $349/399.
$299 for Series S is a pipe dream imo, but I usually suck at predictions so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It depends on how you see it I guess. The way I see it every game coming out now will provide that feeling. I am looking forward to playing Sea of Thieves and Destiny 2 on XSX because 30 fps is just not enough now.
i agree that stuff will be cool, but it wont be the same as seeing next gen visuals for the first time when you took home ryse, or played forza 5, or saw the dense zombie crowds in dead rising 3.
Spiritfarer seems to be scoring pretty well so far, but you're right its not always the case, though the hints we've gotten regarding Battletoads seem to be positive.
At $249, I'd be tempted to buy a S for my bedroom haha. Trade in my One X and original One towards it too. Perfect bedroom/streaming console. Great price.
If the PS5 DE is going to be $399 then Sony would have announced it at the June event. The PS4 launched at that price so Sony knows a console will sell at that price. Of course, if Microsoft prices the Series S aggressively then Sony could go to that price in response, but I would bet they sure as hell do not want to.
Gies has a history of being wrong about this sort of thing, especially next-gen stuff, but if true (I don't believe it will be), that would be killer. I'd likely pick up a second Series S for the bedroom.
But if that is the proposed pricing, which lets be real here, would be a big marketing win (at least with the Series S), why haven't they announced the pricing already? What would be the benefit of waiting on good news like that, and potentially missing out on early pre-orders too?
If the price point is 499 or 599 I think having Sony go first and either matching or beating the competition with the "better" hardware has been part of the strategy
I don't think Series S will be less than $350. The $199-250 is the range for the Xbox One S this holiday.
Yeah. All of this depends on what the high end pricing will be, which depends on Sony.... soooo we wait... and wait some more.. Zzzzzz
$199-250 for the One S during the holiday season is way off. Last Black Friday in the UK the One S was going for £99 at some retailers.
Talking about the suggested retail price. Yes, sales will get the S down very low. Right now the msrp is $300 in the US right now but was sold for much less during sales.
Ok true, RRP in UK is £249.99.
I don't agree with the feasibility a lot of the high prices being suggested in this thread. The idea that a £399 ($400) Series S is viable is beyond me.
Agreed, I think 250 is too good to be true. I also think a 100 difference between the Series S and PS5DE is also too good to be true (for the PS5DE).
If I was negotiating prices for the Series X hardware, and my company committed to using this very same hardware in our xCloud server centres, I would be fighting for very competitive prices.
Anybody who's into Sea of Thieves (or who has dabbled before) but might not be regularly checking the online events pages, there's a big Summer Event on starting today. 44 challenges ranging from super easy to really quite tough. You get gold and doubloons for each and also unlock a new cosmetic item for every 3 challenges you complete. For example, you only need to complete six challenges to get (the base version of) a fucking COOL LION FIGUREHEAD.
Event is running until September 30th so plenty of time to knock some out. There's literally never been a better time to get on the seas.

Stuck at port with nowhere to go? Spend your summer sailing the beautiful Sea of Thieves!

Same here in Germany. Xbox One SAD was 99€ on several occasions, Xbox One S is 149€ during sales every few weeks.
nice - could definitely see myself hoping on for this to get back in it
Yeah very puzzling. I see the argument that PS5DE would make up for the low cost through digital purchases as digital only, but then so is Lockhart supposedly
ah well, you know how that logic works ;)
The logic works very well because a digital PS5 at 100 bucks cheaper than the regular would still be somewhat expensive whereas some of the price guesses that people have for Series S are absurd. I mean 250, really?
First, I think there is no way the main consoles will be £600.
I can't understand the idea of the "budget" console going into the holidays at £400. The whole idea was a cheaper entry point into the Xbox ecosystem for next gen. Makes no sense to me if they then price it the same as main consoles from the previous generation at release?
Add to that if the Series S is within £100 of the PS5 DE it will look like a really bad deal.
Update: Halo Devs Refute Notion That TV Show Is a 'Distraction' to Infinite Development - IGN
According to a new report, Halo Infinite's development has been mired by outsourcing issues and the "significant distraction" of the Halo TV series.
Welp. I hope this comes out okay, and I hope whats there is salvagable into a good halo game. But if they needed to cancel it, start over, and come back with something with a clearer vision in a few years, id also be okay with that too. Id rather have no halo for a while than undercooked halo.
i feel comfortable the price will be between 499-599 for xsx (whereever ps5 lands, MS will match) and between 299-399 for xss
if xsx = 499, i could see xss = 299-349
if xsx = 599, i could see xss = 349-399
Arthur's $249 xss i just don't see happening. dont set yourself up for disappointment.
ACTUALLY, does anyone have that original lockhart leak handy? Klobrille ? i dont recall pricing mentioned.... may need to revise my numbers if it did mention 249 🤔
It really does, doesn't it!? And animated backgrounds....Oh my goodness lol.
SOME logic on both sides has been crazy!, i stand by my earlier predictions these consoles are going to cost $$$.
