The fridge and the speaker.

The speaker being £250 is so freaking tempting. Glad to see there's no currency conversion BS here, was fully expecting $300 to equal £300 like usual lol

$499?

i have not cried like this since i realised that Xbox One might not get proper "homebrew"

 

[RyRyIV]

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

 

[dangopig]

Those are quite reasonable prices for new gen consoles imo!

The naming is so stupid. It’s like they haven’t learned anything from the Wii/Wii U mistake.

I will buy series x and ps 5 and nvidia 3090 or 3080 this year. Too many tech.

 

[tfocosta]

So is it worth spending in the fridge? Or the speaker should be enough to have good fun?

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.

Ehh hardly. You won’t even find the One X or One S in the store pretty soon. And for the first couple of years any major games are going to be released on both systems

You can also pay monthly for it.

Fair pricing. Not much of a reason to pick one up now though.

Profile picture checks out

But still the amount of traction this could potentially get by simply revealing the cheaper model at launch is seriously giving Microsoft the edge since no one knows the price for the PS5 yet

 

[the_randomizer]

Good specs for the price, but no exclusives, so why would I get one?

 

[DSoryu]

Not in our third-world country ma'am:

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.

 

[djnate27]

No reason to get one just yet. Will wait a year for a price drop and a fuller library of games.

 

[Deleted User]

Will Microsoft let you pirate games for free.

 

[DarkCrudus]

I will be picking a big boy. as my x1 is my main system and I only have a vcr edition.

Xbox game pass is getting even more value with the inclusion of ea play.
