all pawel has managed to do is to convince me not to buy a xbox one x
Personally I'm waiting for him to tell me where I can buy an xbox one x for $35-40.

Free multiplayer is multiplayer where I spend $0 to play online. If you have to pay money to play multiplayer, then it’s not free regardless of whether value is added through perks. The perks are of little significance in the context of “Can I play online without needing to pay money?” and “Can I use that money I saved to pay for other software or upgrade my PC?”And yet you've still done nothing to counter the point that Xbox live gold adds value when the original post I was responding to was about how its $60 a year just to play online multiplayer games. It's an old, tired argument pointing out that the games are not actually free. It's $40 a year. PC players need to stop acting like it's a even playing ground between having to deal with 15 different launchers and having the convenience, security, etc of a unified ecosystem. Dat shit ain't free.
And you can prove these keys were not stollen? 100$ that's the price if you want to buy windows 10 legally, so it should be obvious to you these 4$ keys are from some suspicious source.Can you prove those keys are stolen? You do realize those keys were free right? How do you know if people didn't create a bunch of emails to get the keys to resale? Nope, I pay for new games full price. If there was a cheaper option, you can bet that i'll pick the cheaper option. Let me know where I can buy new games for $5 since you seem to know everything about buying stolen goods. Feel free to PM me your windows 10 receipt where you paid full price.
I'm not a xbox fanboy and I dont need to convince you to buy this console. I consider PC a much better platform overall, but of course if you want to play games at better settings compared to xbox x then you need really good PC and that's the point. On GPU like 1080ti it's possible to surpass xbox x settings in games (for example use 4K native instead of dynamic 4K, and sometimes even 60fps is possible like in Gears Of War 4), but the thing is, 1.5 year ago I have paid more money for 1080ti alone (so without CPU, motherboard, windows 10 and other components costs) than for entire xbox x.all pawel has managed to do is to convince me not to buy a xbox one x

Yes, I have paid 100$ for my windows 10 license. I have a receipt, certificate of authenticity (COA), and license label on CD case. MS can use this informations to verify my product license is indeed mine.
If you buy windows 10 for 4$ you will receive just a key without any licence and microsoft dont sell windows 10 legally that way (I have read it on their site). You have no license, because you are using someone else product! That's why you get it so cheap.
Buy a game on day of launch. PC, play it stuck with it. Xbox, play it fuck it off, get some money back. Buy a game on Steam sale, play it.stuck with it. Xbox, buy a game on sale, play it fuck it off get some money back. Only got to do that on 2-3 day one releases per year and that saving cancels the cost of Xbox live per year. Buy more games than that per year and PC costs you more.
And if you want to be even more anal PC's cost more electricity per year to run than Xbox.
But your stuck with them . What ever game is on sale on PC what is available Xbox i can go and buy 2nd hand (excluding digital only releases) play it and fuck it off and some money back. You ain't doing that on PC.Games are cheaper on pc.
Theres also better sales.
I find it entertaining that some people don’t realize that Microsoft, themselves, offer Windows for free albeit without customization options.I don't have to prove anything, you're the one thats making the claim that its stolen so the onus is on YOU. Where's the receipt?
Edit: I hope you guys complaining about stolen keys knows that you don't even need to pay for Windows 10, and no its not even piracy, go look it up.
Also I think i saw a sale price for the x at 350, not 450. So really at the 350 price that makes the x much more valuable for the price.you can buy an xbox ne x for alot cheaper used
wtf is your argument?

Very well said, it's a common sense, yet guys like you still think buying products for 4% of it's price is perfectly normal .These keys just aren’t legitimate. By purchasing them, you may be supporting criminals who steal credit card numbers. Or, you may be rewarding people who abuse programs set up to help students and encouraging the shutdown of these programs.
We all know it: There’s no way a $12 Windows product key was obtained legitimately. It’s just not possible.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.howtogeek.com/392080/cheap-windows-10-keys-do-they-work/amp/
Here you can read how these keys are obtained, and because none of these ways is legal.
Very well said
I have my recepit somewhere, but why I even need to show it to you? Do I need to prove you something? Anyway I have HUNDREDS of various receipts, and because I would probably spend one hour to find it so I will just link you my order history instead (and without my personal and payment method data, because I dont want anyone here to see it)
https://i.ibb.co/jkw7R9W/a3.png
As you can see in 2017 I have paid more than 100$ for my windows 10 copy, 429zł in 2017 it was probably like 130$ in my country.
Here's what legally bought windows 10 should have
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/howtotell/Software.aspx
If you buy 4$ windows, you have only key number without the certificate of authenticity and product ID, and even on this MS page it's clearly written the product key should not be purchased separately, while that's exactly like all these 4-10$ windows 10 are sold.
The thing is, this thread is not about what you prefer.......I have no problems with persons preferring consoles...I prefer consoles too, but I game on both, my PC is my XBOX atm.....The problem with the OP is that he asked, what it would take to build a system like the XBOX.......Truth is, he went way overboard on what it would truly cost......You don't need 16Gb of ram at 2666 MHz, you don't need a Ryzen 3 to go against the jaguars, 2 core 4 thread athlons and pentiums are more powerful CPU's and they clock much higher, which many games prefer....A keyboard and mouse for $44 was a big .....A case for $39 was too much and nobody in their right mind is buying windows 10 for $139.....So these were just ways to heighten the price for PC components (that would match XBONEX) hardware, and it was not a genuine parts list with his request in mind....This right here. Some people just wanna get home and enjoy their games on a reliable and hassle-free console. Even if you put the PC on your TV for couch-gaming, it's still a hassle to do everything with just a controller, like setting a music on Spotify, choosing something on Netflix, selecting audio-output, etc.
Minor things, but they can be a bother to some people.
If you're going to start a post by saying you're not biased, then you are, it's as simple as that......You don't have to prove you're not biased to me, you don't have to post your game library or any thing like that, just discuss the merits of the thread genuinely...Unlike many people here I'm not Playstation or even Xbox fanboy (I game on every popular platform, and I have uploaded many screenshots from xbox x/PS4P/PC games here on neogaf). Because of that I'm not blind to facts. I can see xbox x CPU is weak as 100 years old man , but I can also see it's GPU is faster than people like you are willing to admit.
You have to do better than that.....DCC has been a feature since GCN 1.2 on Fiji cards....I have made extensive research in regards to PS4P and xbox x tech, so dont worry about that . Xbox x GPU has indeed some vega features if you havent know that (delta color compression from vega for example improve memory bandwidth on xbox x), so maybe you should do your own research better next time before you suggest other people to do it for you.
With vega features like memory compression and dx12 processor build into hardware level on top of that it should be obvious to you xbox x GPU is more like RX 580 on steroids at this point (polaris RX 580 GPU has none of these said features).
No, Red Dead is still a bad CB implementation, we know rockstar hardly fixes things, in two years they'll probably say on a Sony stage, "you can now play RDR2 at 4k 60fps with enhancements on a PS5"........As opposed to just fixing their HDR and making the PRO version native 1620p or 1800p, where it would look much sharper......Hell, even 1440p will look sharper as a low ball effort from what they have now, because though it would be fewer pixels, the aspect ratio would be in scale to our TV's and upscaling to 4K would be a thousand times better on 4k screens. It would look better than what they have now and perform better as well...Will they do it? Ha, these guys could not even bother to PRO patch GTA5...The La Noire remaster leaves alot to be desired, just the same.....Thanks to these architecture changes on xbox x GPU is able to double PS4P GPU results with only 1.8 TFLOPS more! Red dead redemption 2 runs on xbox x with twice as many pixels compared to PS4P so that should show everyone how important these architecture improvements were on xbox x console.
NO there's nothing......So you're saying an XBONEX also matches a 1660ti which is in line with a 1070? ....I mean come on man..You say there's nothing to suggest xbox x GPU can be compared to 1070, yet I have seen many games on xbox x with performance like 1070 (and if not better). On top of that some developers even compared xbox x GPU performance to 1070, and warthunder developer in particular compared it even to 1080.
The XBONEX does not run Forza 7 at 4k max settings....The 580 performs better in that title than the 1060 due to DX12, so the masher I put together on the first page will run this title at 4k max settings......with an RX 580 installed...I remember one GTX 1060 user here on neogaf, who have argued with me his 1060 can match xbox x results in forza 7, but when I have asked him to provide recorded gameplay from one rainy stage in particular he had dips there to around low 50 fps, and that was with high settings only (I bet xbox x settings are matched at this point, if not even better). With maxed out settings and 4xMSAA forza 7 dips to low 40 fps on GTX 1060 (on YT MaDz gaming channel there's gameplay video with dips like that and MaDz even admitted his 1060 6GB was not able to match xbox x results in this game).
No, the 1060 and 580 runs the game much better than XBONEX...FYI, XBONEX is running lower volumetrics than the PRO, lots of the quality settings on XBONEX are certainly not on Ultra, so at XBONEX settings, the PC runs this game much better.Besides forza there are also other games that shows much better performance compared to 1060. Games like metro exodus, and wolfenstein 2 in particular are very interesting. Wolfenstein 2 runs on xbox x in 4K dynamic at 55-60fps and close to high settings. 1060 even with 2GHz OC runs the same game at 45-55fps at 4K dynamic and that's with LOW and medium settings mix (RX 580 results are only 2-3fps better in this game compared to 1060). So even with worse settings both 1060 and RX 580 cant match xbox x results.
The only reason why you brought this into the conversation is because you want to heighten the price of buying windows........The truth is, windows can be bought for $4 on ebay, no matter how many times you say the keys are stolen won't make it true......The onus is on you to prove this....Why isn't ebay shutting these vendors down or MS not shutting them down for that matter? On the flip, MS is the master OS builders, surely, they would tell me I just bought a stolen key, try a key you know to be stolen and see if it will go through MS servers?.....So yes, .I want you to prove what you're saying here....This is too desperate an attempt to put XBOX in a better light....$139 for windows 10 to boost up the price of building a cheap PC, $44 for a mouse and keyboard...Pfftt...I want you to prove that my key was stolen....It's funny, but if people are willing to list stolen products prices because they see nothing wrong with it, then I'm guessing people can also buy stolen xbox X console . Guys, I have no idea how much stolen xbox x could cost, but I'm guessing it's probably lower than 300 ?
I find that hard to believe and dont' worry, you weren't going to convince me of anything. The fact you have to consider PC as a better platform is quite the telling story.I'm not a xbox fanboy and I dont need to convince you to buy this console. I consider PC a much better platform overall
all pawel has managed to do is to convince me not to buy a xbox one x
Wow....Hunert Smo.....I mean Voost kain......Why do you need to spend all that money, if you're just trying to build similar XBONEX hardware????...
Go to Amazon
CPU: Athlon CPU $52 or you can get an intel Pentium
Memory: 8 GB Corsair Vengeance at 2400Mhz for $46
HDD: Seagate 1TB HDD refurb for $37
GPU: XFX RX 580 GTS $189
Case: Rosewill Microt ATX Mini-Case $23
Keybaord and Mouse: Amazon Basics K&M combo $14
Power Supply: Thermal Take 500W PSU $40
Motherboard: Gigabyte AM4 Micro ATX $64
Windows PRO Key $4 average
Total $469.00
Now come on now, I bought another windows key for $3.11 on Ebay a few days back.....It's the PRO version 32/64bit...Home? Who's buying that anyway @ $139.00???? Come on Voost...
You can run your games at 16xAF or run it at 1080p/60fps ultra or high settings......If I'm missing anything, let me know..
Moving what goalposts?
You simply cannot read.
"Near no game holds a constant 4K image"
"The vast majority of them worth a damn do not hold a constant 4K image"
Microsoft allows people to download Windows 10 for free and install it without a product key, but there are restrictions I dont want to see.lol, goodjob paying $100 when you can get it for free from microsoft.
Sure, there are multiple games on xbox x that push twice as many pixels, yet as always you blame bad implementation on PS4P. You are trying to blame everything, just to not admit facts.No, Red Dead is still a bad CB implementation, we know rockstar hardly fixes things,
I'm quick to call you a fanboy? I'm familiar with your posts since I'm here on NeoGAF. Before I was always neutral when the vast majority of people here on NeoGAF called you the biggest playstation fanboy and in fact I have even upvoted and defended you when you were indeed right. You say you are not a fanboy, so please dont act like one. For some strange reason the vast majority of your comments here (90% if not more) are only hateful comments in regards to MS console, and you try your best just to defend playstation no matter what. So I'm not quick to judge you, I have seen enough of your comments here on NeoGAF during the last 12 months to make my mind in regards to you. As I remember you were banned lately and can you tell me for what reason? Can you surprise me? Let me guess, you were innocent and it was only moderator fault?you are quick to call someone a fanboy
Microsoft allows people to download Windows 10 for free and install it without a product key, but they are restrictions I dont want to see.
BTW- In order to buy windows 10 I had to spend my single day salary, so if you think I feel sad because I had to work one day in order to support developers for their hard work then you are wrong. I dont want to support thieves like people who buy stolen keys.
But your stuck with them . What ever game is on sale on PC what is available Xbox i can go and buy 2nd hand (excluding digital only releases) play it and fuck it off and some money back. You ain't doing that on PC.
Example, a quick search only tho, Black ops 4 PC CDkeys £24. Xbox Ebay £20, I can resell Xbox version on Ebay or walk in to Cex a get £10 for it.
Yes, XBONEX is a 580 downclocked with no Vega features, it's memory bandwidth is shared between CPU and GPU......So when you heard XBONEX had all this bandwidth and it was going to do this and that, it's now frequently using checkerboarding just like PRO, a far cry from what Phil suggested, and th e thing is, I like Phil, because he said framerate is king....Just that in the case of DMC5, PRO is using it's CB hardware so there's less of a performance penalty on PRO...The reason why PRO is using just TAA in that title is because TAA works in tandem with CB, it's an auto implementation...RX580/1060 matching atleast or even outperforming One X says enough for me. Nothing strange either as One X gpu is basicly the 580 in most ways.
Why are you so stuck on all this fanboy and ban talk? Shows your true agenda here....Tbh I don't even remember you beyond a few weeks back, when you were so adamant that you defended me...Truth be told, I don't need a defense team in these here parts, I don't post for popularity or for affiliations, I don't post as a gang or a unit, my thoughts are mine....I'm not aligned or in consort with Sony fans, all you see from me is all me, just me...I'm quick to call you a fanboy?

What's up with all the desperate Xbox shilling on this board lately?
Yes they would.No one would ever build a PC to run games at 30fps. And no one would build a PC to run 4K with only medium settings.
It's not hard, you say any game available on both and most times i'll find it cheaper on Xbox,and like i said yes you can get new release game cheaper on PC but you ain't getting anything back, i can sell my Xbox game what i've paid £5-£10 more on release day in most cases.Nice you found one game.
Now don't forget to add xbox live gold, so you can utilize the multiplayer portion of that game.
I'd say it's been set up by a PS fanboy as it that easy to rip to bits. I was going to set up a the thread for the Ps4 Pro but i can't find a GPU with the power of in between a RX460 and RX470.What's up with all the desperate Xbox shilling on this board lately?

Never paid more than £30 for Live, most times £28. You'll pay more than that in electricity per year. I've basically said all this already but you seem to struggle with elementary maths and a little imagination.

Stop personalizing things is my advice, perhaps I disagreed with you on some subject before, move on, it's not that serious, don't let it consume you.....I don't know why you are so enamoured with my prior or recent bans....I was not banned recently for anything I said in any thread btw....My Vgtech thread before the ban was mod edited, but guess what, Anthem was proven to use Checkerboarding and dynamic resolution, now confirmed by all outlets who said differently before....I don't post lies, I post facts and valid data...The people most annoyed by that are persons who would rather wallow in untruths to protect their piece of plastic.....You have never seen me declaring PRO to be more than what it is......I will never say PRO is functioning as a GTX 1070 or even a full on RX 580 decked on a PC....I don't see the need to resort to such antics... If PRO has better framerate over X, that's a fact, stats don't lie, if XBOX has better framerate then so be it......The reason why so many Xfans are so distraughht is because the XBONEX was much overhyped by MS and it's fans....and it's proving to be not as ambitious or as powerful as they thought...
In any case, you have not proven that the XBONEX is even close to a GTX 1070, because these are just delusions or wishful thinking...
I have changed my avatar a few times, but I remember when people here demanded a ban for you. Because you have upvoted my posts in regards to input lag problems on xbox x so I have defended you then.I don't even remember you beyond a few weeks back, when you were so adamant that you defended me..
Digital Foundry made this conclussion because they are paid by MS right? It's such unbelievable thing to consider console components can be used with better results compared to PC parts, because everything is so perfectly optimized on PC platform right.The bottom line is that Scorpio's six teraflops will almost certainly go a lot further than an equivalent PC
I honestly can’t remember the last time I used my PC’s disc drive
Yes, XBONEX is a 580 downclocked with no Vega features, it's memory bandwidth is shared between CPU and GPU
No it doesn't. PC games generally £10 cheaper on launch day. i can sell just 6 of my brand new £40-£45 Xbox games out of 10 games i buy per year within a week or two of purchase if i complete or just don't want them anymore for £20- £30 each. It's not revolutionary what i'm suggesting, there's even shops that have traded games on the high street for over 25 years, Ebay and sell them to friends at work. If you don't want to sell your games yes PC if you like to buy your games on launch day.That means you would have to resell every single game you buy, otherwise it goes all out of the window. I doubt the average console gamer does that. And if you hold on to it for too long, the resale value might decrease eve more.
You also forgot that you can buy cheap codes from people who got it with their gpu, on pc. Those are even cheaper.
Electricity really isnt that big of a factor, unless you live in a country where it is not cheap.
Regional pricing is also a factor in this.
And anyone looking at doing this or buying a cheap code be aware . These are alright for wanking but be careful for banking. My mate had is internet bank account hacked and is struggling to get is money back because he got a cheap code and it's flagged up. Still ongoing case though and don't know the exact details..That's fine but you're in a thread thats comparing prices. TLW can even take away the $4 license key since you can play games with the free install.
can't tell if you're being serious lol. the good thing about PC is that it can be as powerful as you'd like.How much would it cost to build an X able to match the capabilities of a pc?
Why are you in this topic bringing up bans, upvotes and past issues......Why don't you stay on the topic at hand....I'm not interested in discussing bans and fanboyism.....Yet I'm sure there's a topic somewhere off topic or in community where you guys can discuss bans or my ban for that matter... So go there and discuss it with kageyK and Lort et. al or contact each other in PM's on how next you guys would try to get me banned, whatever floats your boat, but stop hijacking this topic with "people demanded my ban" and what not, it's not a good look after your arguments failed.....I have changed my avatar a few times, but I remember when people here demanded a ban for you. Because you have upvoted my posts in regards to input lag problems on xbox x so I have defended you then.
But I'm no longer going to defend you in the future, because I can see now other people were right and you are indeed the worst playstation fanboy on this entire site who only provokes xbox owners on daily basis.
A RX580 generally outperforms the one x if it isnt matching it. Even a 970 comes very close.
The number one reason to have a console nowadays are its exclusives, which are getting less and less. PS2 had much more exclusives and thus a better value.

What's your point here sunshine, i think most people accept the 580 is very simalar to the X Gpu. Everyone knows you can ajust settings on PC. This is a price comparison.https://www.google.com/amp/s/gaming...-of-real-world-performance-voofoo-studios/amp
Really, One X is on par with a RX580 for the most according to devs. With dx12/vulkan optimization is good on both.
I would prefer the 580 though as it contains 8gb just for vram. Probably more then one x has left for vram.
Also with that 580, most are oced factory, one can push abit higher too. With the 580 you can choose to have 60fps/lower settings/resolution.

Sell it on, sorry i forget about that.Tryna get some context here. I'm from the states so is the phrase "fuck it off" mean you play something then get rid of it? Or you forget about it? Cuz in US culture fuckit off can mean something super sexual. I'm not judging I'm just saying...there's a slang barrier here and I want to understand what you guys are saying here. I'm assuming "fuck it off" is a bad thing, regardless.
Oh literally means to sell the game after you're done with it. Gotcha. So interesting that "fuck" can be synonymous with "sell"Sell it on, sorry i forget about that.
Just look at this video with a 1060, and people want to compare XBONEX with a 1070.........And they are adamant about it too...In most situations it performs way better than a radeon 580, I wouldn't attempt to play that many games at 4k with a 580 in my PC (I have a 1070ti and a ps4 pro... No Xbox in my home, but this has nothing to do with the specs of the X).
