What if it's $450 because it is the Scorpio?

 

[etta]

Dude, with all of those ventilation holes it's going to be at least $600. Have you seen them? There's literally dozens. Now let me continue to speculate about the pricing because of arbitrary stats.

Lols, them luxurious holes, shit's expensive gotta use diamond drills for that perfect hole.

Eh, it'll all get course corrected tomorrow. If anything, the misinformation spreading may result in a positive for MS when it turns out the Slim is cheaper than anticipated.

Hopefully, because it is very very very very unlikely it is $450.

 

[The Flash]

ekim has repeatedly said that it's not $450

 

[Goose_Se7en]

If the GS leak is legit, $449 is it.

You're a troll. Just read your post, MS releasing this box at $449 is suicide. No way this thing costs $449.

$299, $349 at most. MS may even surprise us with a $249 price point. Doubt that one tho.

 

[AgentP]

Should be 299 at the most

With 4x the HD?

 

[icespide]

What if it's $450 because it is the Scorpio?

what if "streamlined controller" means it has a built in oculus rift?

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

That would be flippin' amazing and I would pre-order right away.

 

[Lebron]

and bought

This has been continously discredited.

I feel like it should be said every page.

I love the sarcasm here.

 

[BeforeU]

WHAT IF

WHAT IF the console shits gold bricks? :O

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Holy fuck, that thing looks amazing. I told myself I wasn't bothering with the Xbox or PlayStation this generation but this thing is gonna make it hella difficult to resist.

 

[MuchoMalo]

All I want to know is if there's a die shrink or not

 

[MillionStabs]

"Streamlined" controller? It looks no different. Maybe it's lighter?

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Kinda want for some reason.

 

[JaggedSac]

This is why the leakers suck. Not only was the surprise ruined, there's now these tangents that are based on incomplete information and spread around too fast.

They will be surprised by the price at least then, lol.

 

[GAFmeansLIFE]

I think I prefer the look of the fat one. Something about the blocky appearance rubs me the wrong way, reminds me of a router or something.

Edit:

[IMG]http://img.clubic.com/02619236-photo-orange-livebox-2.jpg[/IMG]

is what I'm thinking of

Wait a minute....

 

[Estocolmo]

Streamlined controller, maybe its the padded grip from Xbox Elite that now is also included on the regular Xbox controller?

 

[shadowsdarknes]

350 seems realistic. It's the best XB1 yet. It can't be a new model and a price cut at the same time.

 

[icespide]

edit nvm misread

 

[TrackZ]

It's easy to get excited about until you remember:

1. It's same old busted tired gaming power level.
2. Xbox One still have a terrible audio bug where all PCM channels are "used" whether they have signal or not. So no AVR processing upmixing can be done.
3. Xbox One can't bitstream audio. So no Atmos off UHD discs or streaming.
4. It needs and probably won't have Dolby Vision HDR support as well as basic HDR 10 for maximum benefit streaming HDR off Netflix, VUDU, etc.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Microsoft could sell this at a ridiculous $199 and people would still expect it to be cheaper.

Catch a grip guys.

No I don't think that's quite true.

But if you really believe your statement, that just tells us one thing. Consumers don't value the Xbox One very much.

 

[StreelyDan]

I think most people are reasonably expecting it to replace the current model and cost about the same, $299 - $349

 

[Trago]

Looks cool, but cost will make or break this thing.

 

[nillapuddin]

Xbox One S ships to retailers starting tomorrow at $350 bucks, Xbox One OG is $300

This fall Xbox One OG drops to 250 permanently, Xbox One S drops to $300 temporarily

Next Summer Xbox One S drops to $300 permanently

Next fall Scorpio launches at $400

 

[shadowsdarknes]

Depends on what you define as success, I'd say.

It's still not going to turn the tide of the console war or anything like that. A nice new SKU can help boost sales, but I'd say word of mouth from people already owning consoles will do far more work. I've had so many people get a PS4 because of our shared enthusiasm about upcoming multiplayer games.

This is spot-on, I think, except I think the S will be $399.

You're surely over-exaggerating because nobody would pass on a $199 current gen console.

 

[etta]

Remember there will be multiple SKUs with different HDD sizes.

 

[Oxn]

Well i sold my xbox one for 175, so yes i would pass.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

It's an improvement, but I expected better. Might look better in video.

 

[Kyoufu]

Well i sold my xbox one for 175, so yes i would pass.

Welp.

 

[Illucio]

The more I look at it the more it looks like a knockoff PS4. It looks good, but I'm starting to notice some similar design motifs.

 

[dark10x]

All I want to know is if there's a die shrink or not

That's what I'm looking for too. 14nm makes sense to me especially with internal PSU. Gotta keep that heat down.

 

[Dylan Sexbang]

It looks exactly like an Xbox one tho.

 

[KissVibes]

The more I look at it the more it looks like a knockoff PS4. It looks good, but I'm starting to notice some similar design motifs.

Such as?

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Reminds me of a PS4 when it's standing up.

 

[rokkerkory]

Yeah if internal psu then gotta be around 14nm

 

[iNvid02]

i might pick this up if it has a uhd bd drive, doubt prices for standalone players will be much better for a while

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

Day Fucking One

I have never wanted to get rid of sunset overdrive Xbox.

Can't wait

 

[MrCunningham]

So the design went from looking like a mid '90s VCR to a mid '00s DVD player. That's an improvement.

 

[Goodacre0081]

how does HDR work if the Slim had fucked up black levels like the XB1 and 360? maybe they fixed it?

 

[demigod]

The more I look at it the more it looks like a knockoff PS4. It looks good, but I'm starting to notice some similar design motifs.

Yeah the texture looks like a ps4. There was no way MS was going to reveal scorpio a year out, anyone thinking this is delusional. The slim was a given after they were having a fire sale 3 weeks before E3. This will cost at least $350.

What do xbox gaffers think about their beloved brick being internal now?

 

[gus-gus]

2 of these for me hope it comes in black

 

[Guevara]

Needs to be cheap or why bother, in my opinion. This suggests expensive.

 

[Theonik]

Welp.

Xbox One goes on sale for 200ish quite regularly in Germany. It bombed pretty hard.

 

[cleveridea]

i might pick this up if it has a uhd bd drive, doubt prices for standalone players will be much better for a while

woah didnt realize they were so expensive, thought this console sounded useless since why not just wait for Scorpio

but makes sense if you buy a 4K TV want a player for it

 

[Smokey]

ekim has repeatedly said that it's not $450

who is ekim, and why should he be trust worthy

 

[_Spr_Drnk]

Looking good, really good. Might 'jump in' now.
