A series X that removes what makes it good, ie disc drive for delisted and non digital backwards compatible games?

Digital only right?
If so the current XBSX value could increase.

Nah.
When a mark ass mark like myself (every console blah blah blah) doesn't even care about these consoles shit looks BLEAK.

Another missed opportunity. 2tb XSX has its merits, but not for £550 and a MS store only purchase option. Even worse when know you could go digital PS5 today for £386. And a Pro just around the corner.
I like my XSX as a backwards compatible machine. But this is out of touch and half arsed at best from MS.

The fact that they think someone cares about these, is unbelievable
Probably the most pointless launch ever.....

Actually those black ones were pretty rough to get for a little while…
White ones with less storage were easy.

^This would have been the smarter move.
But it will never happen because that console is designed to get people locked into game pass or at least buying from their digital store. The low price is the bait.
they must have a shit ton of unsold xboxes and re purposing them. think the same explanation could be had for all the controller colors.
either that, or there must be some major disconnect between the marketing dept or whatever team is in charge of what their next hardware offerings are, and whoever it is aren't in touch with gaming trends. MS is kind of too big for their own good and theres a lack of cohesion in the approach. clearly a better idea would be a new model to compete with ps5 pro but you can't do that with a bunch of rehashed hardware unfortch.
that said i probably would skip again, i never bought series x but i did gift one to someone not lucky enough to secure a pre order. ready to pull the trigger on 5090 myself

$599 just for an extra 1TB for a console that was released in 2020? WTF?
Does Microsoft not want to sell Xbox consoles? It should have been the same price as the previous Series X.

MS is just a complete circus at this point.

1000 doliroos for the 2TB version (AUD200 more expensive than the 1Tb PS5 Slim) and 700 for the Digital one (AUD20 more than the 1Tb Slim Digital).

Picked up a disk SX in Target Australia for about $330 US a few weeks ago (think it might have been a price error tbf). Really don't see the appeal of these new models.

Verizon had them for $150 for mobile customers back in March 2023.
The Xbox Series S just dropped to a lowest-ever $150 for Verizon customers | CNN Underscored
If you’re a Verizon customer and happen to be in the market for a next-gen gaming console, you’re in luck. The carrier is currently offering the Xbox Series S to its subscribers for an absurdly cheap $150, dropping our favorite affordable console down to its lowest-ever price at 50% off.

High price of entry is not the problem with the series generation.
Microsoft learnt their lesson after the $250 HD-DVD adventure.
Make sure to keep them factory sealed the value will rise to the moon!All 3 will be mine, cant wait.

Plenty of point if you have Gamepass and prefer to have a console in your living rather than a PC.

Same old same old. Can’t believe we’re watching Xbox punt their console business. Crazy times.

I don't get why they're producing a dickless Series X. Is MS really done with physical media?

It’s weird how every Xbox console thread becomes a “Xbox console won’t exist anymore” thread. SonyGAF is real.
i buy every console every generation, and I’ve been hearing this every gen but Xbox 360.

I've been saying that they over engineered this thing a bit and now they are "simplifying" it
shame
They should have released a smaller, redesigned Series S “lite” that would be 1/3rd smaller, has a more efficient SoC and perhaps a small stealth bump in RAM to 12GB. Cut the price down to $279.99.
