Xbox Series S and X price drops!
- Thread starter Phenom
- Start date
Nice speaker! Lol, but glad they finally put this out. Alright Sony, your turn!
Do you think Sony will have two different versions or just the base model PS5 to start with?
I totally dig the new X-Box X look. I imagine they're making price cuts on the old X-BONE to quickly sell and cut down on the bulk of them. After all once the new future console /model comes out. No one will be interested in the XBONE anymore.
I disagree. I'm a huge fan of the Xbox and have been since the original one. The problem with the newer console is that all of the games for the newest Xbox console are also coming out on the PC so people could simply say why waste money on a console when they could spend those money on parts to upgrade their gaming desktop or laptop
Sony has already confirmed a disc and discless PS5 much like what MS is doing above. We just need a price and date at this point. Which I dare Sony to have the same lunch day as the Xbox.
I grew up with consoles, one of my first memories was Super Mario World and gosh in my teen days i wouldn't think of anything but PlayStation games or Gamecube titles.. but those days are over, PCs are far more stronger and far more useful, so why would you spend 500$ 600$ in buying expensive games while you can get the same on PC?
Console days are over for me, it was a great era but now everything looks desperatedly ridiculous. The only thing that would make sense for me are portable systems.. but those are replaced by smartphones.. so i don't really know..
On-topic, i like the aspect and the controller.. my gosh Xbox always had the best ones for me

I always thought the same. The Xbox controller always felt more comfortable and easier to use than the PS. The touch screen in the middle of the controller, between the joysticks always felt like a strange design choice/flaw to me. I'm probably going to wait till the second gen version since the first generation usually have a myriad of problems and flaws that Microsoft isn't always willing to fix or repay.
This line of thought as long as it's logical denotes a lot of knowledge about a brand making bad products just to "tone" to the other competitors. Reminds me of those days of Sega releasing CD games but sucked massively compared to the good ol' cartridges by nintendo by FAR.
I still feel nostalgia having one of those controllers in my hands.. so maybe i'll get one and play some PC ports of the old era, that's as far as i'll go from now on
Save bucks and build a powerful pc!
I have a decent desktop build; but, I also like having the console. There's something about being able to play FPS on my big screen in my living room.
I disagree. The S does not have the disc tray and is probably intended to be pushing their 'cloud' game play idea. It also does not have the capability to play 4K
It was definitely created as a way for them to push the streaming angle on gamers. The 4k factor is quite huge as well.
I'm not a huge fan of the grill. It's weird that they couldn't at least put the Xbox logo as part of it so that it looked a bit better.

I said not much of a difference. I'm aware of the disc tray and 4K features of the X. I don't have a 4K TV so that's not an issue for me. The X also has superior storage and processing power however the S will perform perfectly well. I don't have much in the way of physical media any longer so discs ain't an issue. The only drawback is not being able to sell games once complete.
As long as digital pricing reflects that it is cheaper to download a game than purchase a physical disc I'd go for the S.
Truth be told I probably won't get either, of the PS5. I'm a PC Gamer.
I think they plan to increase the price of games, don't know if that translates into digital as well though.
Well. I'm considering getting one now after getting news that Microsoft bought Bethesda. I pretty much play all of their games. No point in getting a PS5 in the future if all of my favorite game franchises will only be exclusive to the X-Box franchise.
I feel like Microsoft is trying to force players like myself, who originally didn't like their game system, into buying it. So if I can't have the next Fallout game or the next Elder Scrolls on PlayStation. I have to go buy an XBOX because those games are only on XBOX now. Not what I want to do. But I will if that means I can play those games.
But it also means that they can take what used to have 10 people working on it and spread it out over 50 or more. It's merely become one of over 20 other publishing companies they've acquired
