I am too, although I think the chances of me picking up my 2TB order is higher.
I honestly think this is for people like me who does not own any of the current consoles, if you already have a Xbox One you should just give this a pass unless you really, really need the 4K features
The spoiler thread for NMS kind of raised my interest to "might pick up if vr is supported" to "might pick up".
Anyone know if there's going to be any special trade-in deals somewhere to buy that game when it comes out?
I want to offload Star Ocean and Uncharted since I've been mostly disappointed with both and don't plan on playing them again.
edit: nevermind all this.. I think I'll pass on it still. Thinking of October and how I'll be buying a lot of games for VR.. I'm going to hold off on buying anything I don't really really want.

They could make it a cheap(er) DD standalone title using the Madden engine with just the CFL teams.
I'm considering trading in my one and replacing it with the S just because of the shitty controllers and connectivity problems and more HDD space.

Didn't revisions typically come with price drops in years past? This sucks
I want to get one later this year just for the TV/DVR features, but man that's pricey.
Well our dollar is weak and the console isn't doing so well, so I am not surprised. I agree though, I am used to revisions having a cheaper price than the OG consoles.

Our dollar is at full blame here. N3DSXL just received another $10 bump recently

traded in my xbone for the S upgrade. had to call around a bit, first ebgames wouldn't do it
got the 1 TB one pre-ordered now. the controller upgrade, smaller size and built in PSU were worth the extra $$ to me

Thanks, i'll probably go for one if they're still available after payday since I opted to go for more RAM for my laptop instead.
EDIT: Apparently Newegg has a Samsung SSD with roughly the same storage at 1.92 TB for a substantially lower amount, albeit from a third party seller. Since when did they make storage drives with unusual capacities like that?
mobile games eh
the Argos should lobby for a couple PokéGyms/Stops at BMO Field, maybe then people will actually go
so... nevermind that neverming.. can't make up my mind just yet.. But I'm suddenly really tempted by the game...
Especially with still no confirmations that steins;gate 0 is coming out this month. I need something to fill the void.
The only trade in program I've seen for No Man's Sky has been the trade 3 (worth $10 minimum), get $70 promotion at EB Games. Or you can bring in Uncharted and Star Ocean to EB Games and get $65 for them, according to the trade-in estimator, and not have that far left to go to make up the difference. EB Games might have a new promotion at the start of August, though.
But for me, the closer the game gets, the more I'm all in on it, even when the wait made me lukewarm for a while there.
Thanks, seems like I could get that $70 for 3 deal with WWE 2k16, RB4 and LBP 3. Guess I'll try and make a quick stop to an EB games tomorrow with those 5 games. So weird.. I haven't bought anything there in a few years.
why wouldn't they accept the trade?
Having an extra drive connected sort of cancels out part of the benefits of upgrading to a slim I think.
I guess. you'd have to pay me to use the default drives tho. when you have some games that take 1 min per loading screen and you can save 20 secs when it's in an external I'll take that easy.
Huh. Never knew about this. I might just go for the 500GB S then and buy an external.
Yeah, I saw that earlier. That sucks. Oh well, I still think CFL expansion as a $20-$30 DLC to Madden would be a great idea.
it really depends on the game. most cases it's not as dramatic as 20 seconds but shit just adds up, you know?
here, read this

Cool that was informative. What sort of drive did you end up going with?
Holy fuck. Are we twins?
I feel the same way. Where are you from? The lax community is Canada is very small.
some 3 TB Seagate (I know, I know) about two years ago. all I know is it's 7200 rpm and I noticed right away loading times were shorter when I plugged it in and moved my stuff on it. got it for $110, iirc
Yeah, absolutely. I use a USB hard drive myself and it's pretty good. I'm not really concerned about the space my Xbox takes up though. If someone is specifically upgrading to the slim because it's smaller and has an internal power supply that could be a deal breaker though.

some places will not apply the promo to a pre-order, others have had the same problem. if you call around a bit, some places are doing it while others arent

It's a gamble but you can always return it in store.
Seems like 30-35 or so.

Someone else linked to a factory refurbished site in this thread that sells Playstation stuff? I think an OLED 1000 is like $99 or something. I'm really tempted to get one since HENkaku just came out too, but then I would have ALL 3 Vita systems and then the shame would be too great to bear... Anyway sorry I'm on mobile so I cant get the link for you, just search the thread for factory refurbished and it should pop up.
No guarantees necessarily that it will come with a manual, but generally it will have a case and insert cover, just not necessarily the original. Depends on the game, if its a rare/very rare game then theres a bigger chance the only copy left in warehouse is a caseless version so you wont get original packaging, just a printed cover and generic case. Ofc we always send/sell the best copy first and save the less nice stuff for last.
There should be a sign in front or near your local Tim's that has all the details. Short version: With the purchase of a drink like, say, a cap, you can get 10 Timbits for $1*.
*Only works after 1 P.M., YMMV as to whether they accept said deal after 10 P.M.

I wish I didn't have to get rid of a controller to do the trade. I sold the regular black one I had, and only have special edition controllers with the grip now.

Can you still get a box for a couple of bucks? I think they used to be a toonie...?
I think going to go this route then, yaa 3TB for 110 is a steal but I'll probably stay away from Seagate lol.
Is this at Eb games or Gamestop?
I'm scared to almost ask, but how much are you getting for it?
$225. Considering the selling price is now $320, I can't complain
Yeah, it's 225. But really it's worth 225+tax (as the credit directly deducts the price from the console you're putting it towards, which is then taxed afterwards from the reduced price).
The average used xbox one console on ebay is going for less than 220 when I checked a few days ago, so it's a really good deal imo.
