[Xbox One] Price reveal

So, e3 just happened and to be honest, this time I was actually OKAY with Microsoft's press release. They kept hold to their promise to actually have GAMES.

Sunset Overdrice
Dead Rising 3 (now an open world)
KILLER INSTINCT (Holy **** hype)
Quantum Break
Forza (already knew, but it's there)
And a couple others I am forgetting

This was good...... only until the end.

They made their official price announcement.

FOUR HUNDRED AND NINETY-NINE USD.

That's right, you read that correctly. $499 for this new console.

I don't know about you, but that alone is making me stay away from the XBONE. Sure they have cool games, but why should I have to pay HALF A GRAND TO PLAY EXCLUSIVE GAMES? This is ridiculous. It's gonna be a repeat to what happened to sony except this time MICROSOFT will be the victim. Like really, they not only shot themselves in the foot and dug their own grave, but now they expect people to actually BUY this, expecting total combined roundup sales of both 360 and XBONE to reach ONE BILLION?

Seriously though, what are your thoughts?

Agreed :p

heh. I guess it'll be 500euro in Holland then eh.

ps. the 499$ might be pre-taxes since they have different taxes in different states right? ;)

I can't disagree. Sunset Overdrive looks amazing and Killer Instinct (long time favorite on both Arcade and SNES) is finally back.

It's just. That god damn price. I'd still much prefer a Wii U. A little bit bias since I've long been with them since the NES, but the games everyone was looking for are finally coming out for it.

Just gonna have to wait and see what Sony has to offer tonight.

even though i have ps3 because everyone else has it here in portugal i always preffered the xbox because of the voice chat and design was awesome too but now im 100% sure im going for the ps4

Isn't there an online all the time DRM thing?

499 is relatively cheap compared to a desktop / laptop that'd have to run all those games. :').

LOL no thanks jeff

XBL is shit. It's not even worth it. I'd much sooner spent 60$ on GunZ than XBL.

The xbox 360 was 399.99 when it was released, add inflation in and it is $480. It really is basically the same freaking price lol.

Price is cheap tbh. I expected it to be between 600-800$, since it comes with its own verson of the kinect.

that titanfall game seems to be pretty cool!

Not that bad for a new release, planning on getting that :)

Lol that is retarded.

I guess I'll have to compare later about the pros & cons of xbox/playstation. I'm getting one of them anyways.
Both seem cool so far.

f&^k xboxone, keeping my 360 and buying the new GTA5.

Thats all im needing lol
