Now give us a Black 1TB Series S for U$299,90.

I’m surprised that they haven’t done anything with it cosmetically… tons of potential.

1tb would be very nice.

 

[reinking]

With all of the bundle/promo deals and this inventory seems high. I guess the yield for the S chips was much higher than the Series X? MS still losing money on these units? No troll. Just curious....

 

[Kacho]

Series S threads always deliver

 

[zzill3]

People have forgotten that having stock on shelves and price discounts are standard business practice.
That the series X and PS5 are out of stock all the time is not normal.

Stock shortage and the pandemic has definitely messed up our 'norms'.

 

[DenchDeckard]

We were all saying it two years ago...wait for the crazy black Friday deals on this thing....I wonder how many it sells this Xmas? Need to see the sales numbers...should be behind on revenue though.

 

[Negotiator101]

Absolutely brilliant move with Christmas coming and so many families struggling hopefully this enables some kids to get a new Xbox.

 

[Robbinhood]

And yet they’re going to sell millions of these over the holidays.

The console conceived and designed to be a mass market seller is being pushed for mass market adoption. Completely unprecedented!

Of course its being pushed as one, doesn't mean it will succeed in being a mass market seller. I've seen them in stores since they basically launched...if people wanted an affordable system instead of next gen, they should just keep making One Xs. People don't want a gimped machine with 2 megs of storage. That silicon could have went to making more Xs and they would have likely sold out.

Best Buy’s sales have started fyi

I don't have Xbox Series S yet but I'm trying to buy something from the Store with my old account and for some reason I can't. It says that something went wrong try again later when I try on my PC browser. I also installed the Xbox app on my phone but it doesn't work on that either. I search games but I get some error message when I click them.

I was unable to download any Game pass stuff on PC last night. Something was amiss. Your the only one on Neogaf with simlar issue that I had. Hopefully by the time I get home it will all be back to normal.

Target is giving a $50 gift card with the $250 version.

These $100 discounts are crazy to me seeing as how the other next gen consoles are still out of stock. 1 despite seeing a price increase. The demand for this console simply isnt there it seems.

Series X didn't get a price increase.

One X is slow. It is running jaguar cores, and that's a worse bottleneck than any contrived argument against the Series S. The only benefit of the One X stands on it's higher performance targets for the back compat upscaling patches. It's cheaper for Microsoft to switch to the new design just by being built around the same hardware as the next gen Series X. The APUs that fail all of the testing at the factory might still be repurposed for use in the Series S.

There is no "gimped machine." There is a performance target set below 4K, being met by an economically efficient entry point to their ecosystem. An entry point that exceeds, if not blows away most of what people playing anything experience on low/mid-PC/PS4/One/Switch/Mobile.

[SportsFan581]

Damn that's tempting. Was thinking of grabbing a Series S and Sonic Frontiers for my kids.

Wow, a price cut and a $50 gift card, that's quite a deal.

I swear, some of the comments read like you are convinced everything on a store shelf must be bad since it's available. LOL

Ps5 didn't get a price increase in the US.

 

[Celcius]

Since this thread has become the official OT and pinned then I've tried to put more effort into the OP. If you come across any really good deals then I can try to add them to the OP so that the deals are easier to find.

Can we expect the Xbox expansion card 512 for $70 again?

[K' Dash]

[reksveks]

For UK peeps

 

[GhostOfTsu]

The PS+ deal (all tiers 25% off on PSN) is now live and yes adamsapple you can stack several years of PS+ the best deal in gaming.

I see you asking at the other place

 

[Skifi28]

I was hoping for a little more, 30-35 would be great but it was probably too much.

 

[Roufianos]

Awesome, can't wait to subscribe to Premium and play all those monthly PS1 and PS2 games we were promised

 

[nush]

When does the UK link go live?

Live now.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Premium at this point is a disaster for PS1 and PS2 titles. Almost a scam.

Not sure what images of one of the worst consoles of all time has to do with anything in this thread.

In relation to what tommib said, it makes perfect sense

And I agree with tommib. It's shocking.

Eh no it doesn't, no matter how many thumbs up emojis you want to use.

What the hell does the Xbox One have to do with the PS Plus premium tier underdelivering?

 

[Godot25]

you can play PS1 and PS2 classics on Xbox consoles through emulation, so you can have better experience and you don't need to pay for useless PS Plus Premium.

Carry on GHG. I thought you had some semblance of having your finger on the pulse, I guess not.

That gotham knights drop yowzers. £29.95 from thegamecollection.com

 

[DenchDeckard]

For UK peeps

This is kind of tempting, but trade in on Horizon is now down to £15 cash...but Dualsense for £30 is mighty tempting.

Horizon for £5 is crazy though.

Interesting.

Already posted? I've just picked up an LG C2 for £750 from Amazon UK. £100 voucher applied at checkout. Thanks very much.

 

[dotnotbot]

Premium is not just streaming and emulated classics but also many remasters like Bioshock or God of War 3.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Interesting.

Well you can play them on whatever you want really, even on an Xbox One, yes.

 

[Godot25]

Yup. But everything after PSOne gen is running not that great on Xbox One, so Series consoles are better for this purpose.

So of all the devices out there that can emulate ps1 and ps2 games you guys came here to stan for the xbox one (which by your own admission is poor for anything other than PS1 games)? Not PC's, not tablets, not the steam deck. Let's ignore all the devices out there that offer a lot more flexibility and freedom for emulation, it must be the Xbox.

Thanks for the effort though.

 

[GHG]

I personally did not came to "stan" for Xbox One. You had exchange with other user where you probably did not know what he is talking about, so i chimed in, since it's common knowledge that Xbox consoles can run RetroArch. Nothing more, nothing less.

Although it's pretty funny, that I can play almost all PS/PS2 games on Xbox and not on PS5

Look at the thread title. This is not what people came into this thread to discuss.

The shilling is fucking relentless and you guys are so deep in it that you are blind.
