He just tweeted it.

I can now say with confidence Project Scorpio is $499. Unless something changes today, that is what will be announced.

 

[Fracas]

Gg no re

 

[BY2K]

This thing is DEAD in Canada.

 

[GregLombardi]

If that is the case, I do not understand their market position. Will wait to see presentation though. $499 is an astronomical buy in these days.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

God, that would be pretty horrible.

 

[texhnolyze]

We shall see in a few hours.

 

[Iced]

So $700 Canadian. Cool.

 

[cheesekao]

The ride never ends.

 

[Oynox]

Will put that money into a gaming PC fund then.

 

[rokkerkory]

Welp no buy until $400 unless it comes with elite controller. Hoping there is a $450 or $00 sku

 

[Zalman]

That's a lot of money.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Understandable.

 

[wapplew]

Nice try Geoff, how much MS pay you to say that for shocking news micdrop omg $399?

 

[jelly]

Agent Geoff.

Is the source Greenberg....

 

[DrakeDeception]

Noooooooooo.


Imma buy it anyway.

 

[Linkyn]

That price point certainly did wonders for the XBO at launch.

 

[nbnt]

"Unless something changes today"

Of course it will, lol. Ya'll being played like a fiddle.

 

[yoonshik]

Good luck with that price.

 

[Tyaren]

Uh oh. This will lead to some disappointment... So many were already sure it was 399 like the PS4 Pro.

 

[Alienous]

Yuck.

 

[damien1928]

No thanks Xbox

 

[Icolin]

This thing is DEAD in Canada.

So $700 Canadian. Cool.

Yeah. Non-starter price for me personally, like the Switch at launch.

 

[Pastry]

lol haven't they been saying it's premium for a long time? To be expected. Why did people get excited?

 

[Boke1879]

On one hand. I want to think this is all some elaborate marketing stunt so we are all stunned when it's announced at $400.

That said. This is way too high imo.

 

[Lom1lo]

This would be terrible but I will still buy it for destiny 2

 

[Erv]

Dam well I'm glad I have my one s. Guess I'll have to be content with lesser graphics.

 

[PackAPunchedMick]

Nope!

 

[Gorilla Shark]

With Xbox One S likely to be 249 or less with a game this fall (and PS4 Pros 399 or less) that's a tough sell to a lot of consumers, imo.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

I don't believe him.

 

[shwimpy]

The price that sunk them in the first place. Yikes.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

That will be... interesting to see.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

DOA if true. I cannot believe MS would be that stupid.

 

[DragonKnight]

Will still buy but definitely doesnt feel as good.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Something smells fishy.

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

Time for that second job.

 

[shandy706]

Not surprised I suppose.

I'll still buy it probably, they must have some good games planned.

This is the first time they haven't unveiled Forza before E3...they always showed it early. I'm incredibly curious as to what Forza 7 is going to be.

 

[Rbk_3]

$700 CND, $800 with tax here in Ontario.

Good luck with that. Might as well just not release it here.

 

[Skilletor]

Only way I'll buy it at that price is if they have amazing OG XB1 trade in deals.

 

[darkinstinct]

Unless something changes today I can say with confidence that Microsoft will give away Scorpio for free.

[Suburban Thug]

Patiently waiting for all the smug posters who claimed it would obviously be $399 to show up

 

[plasmawave]

I dunno, I find it hard to believe he'd just leak something like this before the conference.

 

[AmyS]

If Scorpio is $499, Sony can coast the rest of this generation.

I want COMPETITION.

It's healthy.

$499 Scorpio would be a mistake.

 

[Rymuth]

Lawl if true.

 

[RootCause]

Team $399. Honestly, I feel like this is a way to blow people away when they announce the price.

 

[JudgeN]

People thinking its was going to be $399 were drunk.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

"Unless something changes today"

Of course it will, lol. Ya'll being played like a fiddle.

Yeah, I caught that. lol

 

[HarryKS]

That's less than expected.

 

[Horseticuffs]

This is around what I expected, given the Pro is $400.

I'm not getting one, but I bought a Pro I'm very pleased with. For the tech packed in I feel it's reasonable.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

$500 isn't even that bad

Spoiler

just wait for the price drop
