I want to know who made this. I want to meet them.

 

[Elwood Blues]

Pretty sure Phil, Penello, Mayor Nelson and the resto of the Xbox guys are closely monitoring this thread, 64 pages more than 3180 posts in threee hours. Backpedalling incoming...

Yes, it's not like they had a previous console launch at $499 to look back on.

 

[UberTag]

Sony will come out tomorrow and say "Two great consoles, great games, at affordable prices". And make MS look silly again. What happened to Xbox being the ones to show how it's done lol?

That stopped being the case around the time Kinect launched.

 

[Garjon]

Lastly, the fact that no one else is corroborating this is interesting. I must say it would be pure Microsoft to stop anything leaking out for a year only to blather all the details out in the rehearsal.

While I do think the price will turn out to be $399 I'm not blaming Geoff if he had $499 incorrectly leaked to him and I think the dogpiling is unfair. If it turns out to be $399 and Geoff was in on it though...

(Still wouldn't justify a handful of the reactions in this thread. Legal action. Christ.)

Good luck running Forza at 4K with a GPU with the same amount of power as the Scorpio GPU?

There is more to performance than pure flop numbers. My GTX 1070 doesn't run Apex at 4K60 100% of the time during the rain due to the bandwidth needed.

 

[AfterTheFall]

You must be joking....

No signatures

 

[Delpij]

The petition is the dumbest thing I've seen in the industry this year.

 

[Brohenheim]

Ctrl-P. See you on the other side.

I love Punished Geoff

 

[Bunta]

It's not officially announced, which makes it a rumor.

You guys are absolutely ridiculous.

No, he's trying to save face! lol

Nah, it's him trying to save face or whatever little trust he has left if anything lol

You all are cracking me up btw acting as if true on the price point that it wasn't an unprofessional move by him having overheard it during rehearsals.

The price is fine with me as I expected that or more but stop trying to excuse that.

Who exactly would be in a position to corroborate this?

 

[DangerMouse]

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

Haha. Wouldn't really put it past old MS.

Not that $399 is that impressive since that was the price of the Pro a year ago. It's a good price but not that big of a deal.

You gotta be fucking kidding me right?

 

[themadcowtipper]

Legal action, never change GAF. I hope the price is 499 now.

Yeah I'm gonna listen to the opinion of a junior who has Master Chief as their avatar.

No bias there, no sir!

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Petition is garbage ass satire that will be quoted for the next 5 pages. Video gamers were a mistake.

[Erimriv]

That's why I said it could change, it's not official until it is announced. But based on what I've heard since I tweeted, they are rolling ahead with $499. Any price change would be very last minute, and no way, they trim $100 off.

Honestly given the tech in there I understand the $499. But open question on if the games/experience will justify that pricetag, we will see today.

I've also heard final name is in the Twitter poll I put up.

Fuck them if it's $499. They've learned nothting, dead on arrival. It'll be $399 in 3 months.

Some people need to just go out for walk and take a breather, that's including some of you in this thread.

Lmaoooo

 

[LukasTaves]

Yeah, how dare journalists tell us stuff they learn, instead of sticking to a corporation's marketing strategy.

Yeah, if he was a journalist that made a living on reporting this kind of stuff, not a marketing tool companies use over and over to hype their products.

 

[gregor7777]

This shit is serious fucking business. Reputations and lives are on the line.

This bitch launches one penny less than 499 and shit will burn.

 

[BossDarkseid]

Why is Geoff now saying "scorpio price rumours" when he was so confident about the price in his first tweet?

I don't know what to believe :O

because until its announced, its a rumour.

believe in logic

There is a very very thin line for shit like this.

 

[sanstesy]

Geoff Keighly: Please watch Youtube Live @ E3!

 

[Mugenjin]

Man this thread took a weird turn.

E3 hasn't even started and already the meltdowns have started (not just this petition).

It truly is the most wonderful time of the year.

But seriously though, this is some kind of joke right? right? RIGHT?
dat top comment...
edit: it moved down

 

[edbooneyebrows]

Ctrl-P. See you on the other side.

heh. About that...

How can people get so defensive over a company and piece of plastic?

Fucking console-warriors are pathetic scum. Jeeez.

Edit: LOL first signature is made by "Phil Spencer". Shit is hilarious. (I know it's not him.)

 

[Elios83]

Ahah some people are truly losing it with the petition stuff.
As if Geoff decided the price

 

[Klocker]

A 6TF machine for 499 is a fucking steal. Only a GTX 1080 (which is 6TF) is 450.

Expecting less than 499 is not knowing how this works.

"But ps4 pro is 399"

That is 4TF, not 6. Scorpio was going to be more expensive since the very beginning.

This.

Spoiler

but fully expected them to eat costs down to $449

 

[Nestled_Grizzly]

I just want to say that this thread has entertained me for the past few hours. Thank you GAF.

 

[Goose_Se7en]

Some people are crazy. Seriously some folks are bananas.

 

[Tookay]

Why is Geoff now saying "scorpio price rumours" when he was so confident about the price in his first tweet?

I don't know what to believe :O

Because things are rumors until they are officially confirmed by the company itself?

You understand the definition of a rumor right?

 

[Mrbob]

Can we start a petition to sue the people who are suing Geoff? We can get totally meta with this.

I just want to say that this thread has entertained me for the past few hours. Thank you GAF.

Yeah the MS E3 thread will probably be boring by comparison.

 

[Rien]

*reads petition* well folks it's time to start drinking early

Yeah. Fuck those 2 years non drinking. I am buying beer

 

[Hoo-doo]

The xbox one era is maybe dead, but xbox 360 era was huge back then. I got a budy that work at media markt, and he always tell multiplat sell the most at 360 instead of ps3 in the early years!

And then came the 299 euro price with "it only does everything" promo with kevin Butler, and the rest was history.

I worked at Mediamarkt around that time myself. And yeah while Xbox 360 was decently popular over here for a while, the Xbox One never has been. Interest in the Xbox brand is at an all time low and everyone is on Playstation.

A revision of the Xbox One isn't going to change any of that. How would it.

 

[Rixxan]

This thread is so fucking good

Was worried we weren't gonna get one of these this year

Drinking it in in delight

 

[digoutyoursoul]

That's just sad, but that just proves that even the die-hard Xbox fans think the 499 price point is too much. If it was the price they were happy with, they wouldn't care about Geoff's leak lol.

It's a piss take

Literally.

 

[Prompto]

The petition is clearly satire/a joke guys

The "all in one entertainment system" quote makes that clear.

 

[Gitaroo]

Cool, new geforce for me instead.

 

[AZ Greg]

Agreed.

Now to skim through a bunch of salt.gif...

 

[gaming_noob]

Are you guys dense? That petition is satire.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

Fuck them if it's $499. They've learned nothting, dead on arrival. It'll be $399 in 3 months.

I dont know why I even bothered to log into GAF today.

This was the expected price range for Scorpio all along. The fuck did you expect.
