That's some reasonable pricing, especially the series S, but with that one lacking a disc drive, it's a no go for me.

I am fully expecting the ps5 to be the same price as the series x (499) with the non-disc variant being slightly cheaper (449)

Being able to get a next-gen Xbox for the same price as a Switch is astounding to me

True, but will the S actually be next gen improvement. I feel it will be ever so slight graphical improvement, with dynamic lighting.

It seems they are skimping, allowing dynamic lighting to cover for the lack of improvement. At least the CPU is a big step up, that should help a lot.

I'm unsure which to get personally, having a choice of the 2 has made me less enthusiastic about getting an Xbox Series at all now.

That is $650 and $394 respectivelly. Fuck them with their overpricing policies, I will buy it after a year or in the second hand market.
or you could just order it from Amazon (US) and get it for 499$ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The naming is so stupid. It’s like they haven’t learned anything from the Wii/Wii U mistake.
It took me far longer than I'd like to admit before I realized that the new "Xbox series X" was supposed to be apart of this next gen series as opposed to another "last gen xbox series x option"

WHICH DIFFERENCE between Series S and X? are they same except the 1st one lacks of bluray?
Series S is about 1/3rd the power at a little over half the price. Still a decent value though if you're planning to stick with 1080p gaming throughout this next generation. Series X is more for targeting 1440p and 4K at higher graphics settings.

I know some people are against finance for things like consoles, but if you have Gamepass Ultimate anyway then may make sense as a method to buy the hardware for now.

I had no plans to buy the Series X, but I might be tempted using this deal if I keep Gamepass Ultimate after 2021 when my current subscription expires.

I'd also suggest people take the price of games into account, since physical releases can get cheaper allot quicker than their digital counterparts. So depending on the amount of games you buy, even at 1080p the Series X may still be worthwhile. Of course it depends on the individual and things could change in the next few years in regards to physical releases.

Glad it really is $499! Fingers crossed Sony tries to undercut again.. Unless Demon's Souls remake really will be on PC too, like some rumors suggest. Same for the "re-release" of Bloodborne for PS5 launch. Then I won't have any reason to buy either console.

considering fable 4 is prolly 2 years away i still may get an S over the X unlike you guys who think digital games suck because you don't own the rights are severly flawed in thinking aside from being banned could really fuck up an S user which i plan to be a good boy this gen (besides i don't hold a grudge to MS as i do nintendo the main reason i pirate is to hurt them not just for playing free games) but i like disc out of the equasion cause scratched BD's if bad enough are useless because the data is on multiple layers so resurfacing is bad for BD's

Personally I much prefer getting multi platform games in Xbone. Now, knowing that all the games I have purchased will be fully playable on the new console (And hopefully with improvements like it was with Xbone > 360), makes this new console really enticing for me.

I can completely replace my Xbone with the new console and won’t need to keep it around to play games that are “unplayable” (There aren’t any lol) on the Series X.

people who buy a Xbox know what a Xbox is.

alot people who brought a Wii had no idea what a Wii U was.



in conclusion:-

Mothers buy Wii.

kids who wanna bang your mother who brought a Wii buys a Xbox, with they mommas money.

Damn straight. A colleague (mum) at work... "I won't have a gaming console in the house" "The kids use a Wii once a week"

I'm thinking the same. I buy only digital on the switch due to health issues. I'm afraid of dropping the system. I dropped my snes mini after I got done updating retraroch and nestopia today actually. it didn't hurt it, but that's what I'm afraid of with the switch as I have the animal crossing switch with a 1TB micro sd card.
