Seriously doubt, we'll get that $50 price cut for the XSS

Good day for gamers, great day for Xbox fans, I'm stoked, but this Bathesda news completely overshadowed that Rumor. I'm not sure how much more MS is willing to put on the table(or how much more$$ they can afford to bleed) after a 7.5 billion dollar deal

And you needed to open another thread on top of the 323143534532 we already have because?
 
Yep, they already have All-Access which is practically giving the S (and X) away for like $25/$35 Day 1 on monthly payments with 0% APR. That's about as cheap as you can already get, at least on the frontend.

Why would you doubt it? The source seemed solid.
At this point it seems too good to be true. Feel very satisfied with the value already after such a large Acquisition that Gamepass should sell itself.
and it's $100 cheaper than ADPS5...seems like overkill to me

It wasn't a realistic rumor anyhow. You don't announce a console's price, then put it on sale before you've even released the thing. That reeks of desperation/weakness. They wouldn't have done that.

I'll bite, what am I "Concerned over"?
I woke up to some amazing news and feel even better about Xbox future, but can't see them dropping the price after today. Hell I hope I'm wrong

I’d argue it’s not a good day for gamers. Good for Xbox yes. But gamers as a whole. No. Having massive corporations own everything doesn’t serve anyone but fanboys. When you own everything you don’t need to compete anymore.

It’s scary enough having Disney own damn near everything. Having any game company start buying up everyoe isn’t any good either.

I think most same people agree with you. These threads are obviously just to gloat, but they're very short sighted.

This is better than a Sony monopoly. Microsoft needed a huge move to keep the division afloat after halo and other set backs. This was going to be white wash. This gives Microsoft some momentum and its fans hope to still buy in besides gamepass. This is great for the industry. Thank Jim money hat Ryan for this. Microsoft could not buy any exclusives to get out of this mess they had to buy the whole thing.

It was mostly a joke, but since you bit......

Creating a thread regarding a potential negative (also a duplicate thread) on a day there has been so much positivity gives the impression that you are more concerned with the potential rumor, that if wrong might be slightly negative for Xbox and making sure that is a topic of discussion. Compare that to a number of threads you could have creatied around something more positive.

Mostly though, it was a joke and an excuse for me to use the Craig meme for the first time.

I'm curious to see how effective this really is, as the low income individuals who need to finance a $300/500 console are likely the ones that will least be able to due to credit issues.

That’s the clown ass fanboy response I expected from you. I at least do own a pretty good rig. Not a monster but she’ll be ok.
Calm dowwwwwn fam no one is shaming your rig, hell I can't even build one myself without a youtube tutorial. But I'll always be here to point out the hypocrisy, keep the same energy

This monopoly is better than the other monopoly is a really shit argument.

I’m calm as can be. Just like to point out silly fanboys. And don’t worry about my pc. It’s mid range by design. I’m quite happy with it.

Bro there are only 3 big names in consoles, and we all treat nintendo like an afterthought. If MS became a completely subscription based division, or went like Sega and dropped thier console would you hate Sony for becoming a monopoly ?

Also (replying to ur latest comment) I don't PC shame, or even console shame. I'm half joking with most of these post an am just hyped that MS will finally have a collosal library in the next few yrs. I couldn't afford most consoles growing up, had to get a job very young and buy everything myself so I'll never shit on what someone builds with thier own hands, esp in gaming
