But...that last sentence...???

 

[Osahi]

Oh wow. This is. Just wow

Edit: Okay, so what is it?

 

[Cels]

rofl this is worse than Nintendo not packaging a charger in NA region

way worse, i agree

 

[KingSnake]

I think someone was too happy to jump to conclusion.

 

[RulkezX]

$299 for 500GB and no pad?

That's..... Odd

Won't be true although the 500GB for 299 is.

 

[eFKac]

Wow that's weird.

I'm not against it though as a concept.

 

[Neoxon]

dafuq?

 

[ekim]

gy. Stream 4K video on Netflix and Amazon Video, and watch UHD Blu-ray™ movies in stunning 4K Ultra HD. Includes the newly streamlined Xbox Wireless Controller.

weird. where is the footnote coming from?

 

[TTOOLL]

Is this even legally acceptable? hahahhaaahah

 

[magawolaz]

lol no way

 

[RootCause]

And people thought the whole Vita/memory card thing and new 3ds with no power cable was bad. Piecemeal game systems is coming.

Yup, this is dissapointing. Hope they change their mind.

 

[Hycran]

This is worse than the 3DS not including a charger

It's funny, at least with the 3ds not having a charger, you can maybe play for an hour or two before the battery craps out. Here, you literally cannot play at all. This also ignores the fact that even if you buy a controller, they still use fucking batteries, in 2016.

MS continuing to be a "FOR THE GAMERS" company while doing absolutely nothing for gamers. No wonder so many people "jumped out".

 

[friskykillface]

lmfao wtf 0_o thats just insane, this isnt a power charger thats sold in dollar stores MS, this is a controller you need to play the damn system

wouldn't surprise me if this is the standard for the future, $60 controls are easy money if you sell systems at launch , welp

 

[CCIE]

No controller? Must be a typo, and a significant one at that

But...that last sentence...???

Nope. it does.

Product description from YouTube mentions this:

Did the journalist mess up??

 

[Thoraxes]

Also 500 GB HDD?

 

[rawd]

Gonna be a lot of pissed off soccer moms

 

[emacs]

So, it's

$349 with controller
$399+ with controller and 2TB storage

?

 

[gofreak]

You're supposed to be trying to outdo Sony, MS, not Nintendo...

Seriously though, kind of crazy.

 

[rakkadakka]

Nope. it does.

Product description from YouTube mentions this:

This tweet went from the console thread to it's own thread to a bunch of people just flat out believing that MS would ship a brand new console without a controller.

#1 gaming forum people.

 

[Briarios]

That has to be wrong lol no way

 

[Alucrid]

Does it include the power cord or did they nintendo that too?

 

[Cert.in.Death]

 

[Gator86]

This is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in gaming. Jesus, MS...

 

[darkwing]

journalist messed it up

 

[Lothars]

I think that's a huge mistake.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

Bah-hahah! What!? For $299 you'd better fucking include a controller!

Well now i really do honestly feel bad for Microsoft. Where are all of these decisions being made?

 

[viHuGi]

This is not true lol

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Okay that is crazy and one way to keep the price down .
But this can't be true.

 

[Complicated]

Perfect for me if true. Probably going to get one of these instead of an external hard drive.

 

[Octavianus]

Huh, guess that's why it's so cheap.

 

[Lnkn52]

How are you going to tell parents they need to buy a controller to control the console?

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

What in the hell? This had got to be some miscommunication as that would be insane!

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Amazing. Only Microsoft.

I mean, the elite controller doesn't even come with a rechargeable battery. It's $150........

 

[Asd202]

Holy shit so deceiving bunch of hacks lol

 

[RootCause]

Also 500 GB HDD?

Not accurate enough. Someone photoshop the controller out.

 

[GeeTeeCee]

Did the journalist mess up??

I thought there was going to be multiple XB1S SKU's, so likely the cheapest option will not have a controller.

Absolutely obscene if true. Desperation to have that $299 tag.

 

[Stairouais]

They can't be that stupid. Can they?

 

[DOWN]

It does include the controller OP. All the official press says included

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

Uh

Okay, fuck that

 

[BadWolf]

Lmao, this is great.

 

[Drackhorn]

No problem. I will play with the power of thought.

 

[SparkleMotion]

Is no one reading the bit where it DOES include the controller?

 

[Nocturno999]

This can't be real...

 

[Caffeine]

exactly whut

 

[NahaNago]

this is ridiculously stupid if true.

 

[rockman zx]

They can't be this stupid.

 

[mnannola]

No way this is true. Refuse to believe it.
