Maybe you can have @The def star's after he wins a new one. He's got the inside track since he works there.

[Spork3245]

At this point I think we’ll find out the price when our CC gets charged.

I would not be winning it as it would be a gift from the company. Will it be another Xbox One X or the new Series X that is the question.

You’ll get a card with the XSX logo that says “price TBD” and you’ll like it!

You will be banned if you even dare look at your bank account afterwards!

Or... they could just put a hold on your CC.  They could wait till several weeks after launch to decide on a price.

Dear god I hate what the youth has done with “reporting” shit. 

[crispy4000]

Feels like Microsoft is still playing chicken with Sony here.

 

EDIT: Welp they're done with games now, lol.  No surprise the cards fell with a leak.

I think this is real.

[JPDunks4]

A lot of industry insiders have come out to confirm the box itself is real.

 

The price they believe is still not final though.

[skillzdadirecta]

Price still probably isn't finalized yet. I've heard they are willing to go as low as 199.99 for the series S.

For @Paperclyp

[HGLatinBoy]

I wonder if the Series S will play Xbox One games at native 4k, and Series X games at 1080p

 

I say that because microsoft discontinued the Xbox One X and the rumors have been floating around that the series S could outperform it. So think of it as an Xbox One X that also plays "Series" games. 

[cusideabelincoln]

At $500 these next gen consoles will probably be sold out for months.

I could see both happening for many games at the start of the generation.  But I've got no faith in the latter long term.

[Guest]

Good price points, I reckon

[JPDunks4]

 

[The def star]

I was expecting to pay $600 for a series X so if $499 is ok with me.

[skillzdadirecta]

Just let me know when the preorders are available... I need to snag a Series X, A Series S and an All Digital PS5. I'll be happy if I manage that.

Tweet of the year right here!

 

Also, I went from having no interest in getting on the next gen train as it left the station. However, if they are really offering their top tier console w/ Live & Game Pass included in $35/month installments, then you definitely have my attention.

👀 Let’s make it official!

Well the Series S and pricing has been confirmed by MS. Series X not yet.

 

Have a feeling that they are gonna open up pre orders sometime this week. Need to keep my finger on the trigger when that happens.

Confirmed as an estimate.

[skillzdadirecta]

My guess is the series S price is locked but the X' isn't. They're still gonna give themselves room to undercot Sony even if only by 50 bucks.

They trying to catch Sony sleeping

[SoberChef]

Having done the math, you ultimately save just under $1/month vs. buying the Series X outright & paying for Live/Game Pass month to month (based on that potential $500 price point.) The thing that M$ can hang their hat on is this:

 

"Here's your brand new, most powerful console on the market with over 100+ titles to play right out of the gate for the low price of $35/month locked into a 2 year contract." It's a solid approach and, as the following video by Alanah points out, is no different really with how cell phone plans have been for years.

 

 

In their own way, Phil did exactly what he said he would do, which was seriously undercut whatever Sony would slap as a price tag on their new console ... from a certain point of view. If I am already reconsidering strongly and really wanting this now, I'm more than sure plenty of others are weighing the option just as well. Take into further consideration the dreaded (and quite inevitable recession we will soon be mired in), a "paltry, measly, $35/month" plan option isn't really breaking the bank for most gaming consumers.

A combination of what Xbob and that is what I said before they should be doing before the Xbone even came out. They did do one step updates, just not nearly as frequent as a cell phone and financing it like a cell phone would be the next logical step.

[Ominous]

Finance a console? Get out of here with that nonsense.
