What are the chances a Xbone S will be on sale for $200 next week for Black Friday?

Probably at least in an unofficial capacity, I think they were like $180/$190 last year, maybe just as a Gamestop refurb though. Sony's officially putting out a PS4 Slim 1TB with a Spider-Man disc bundle for $199 so there's bound to be something along those lines on the Xbox side.

EDIT I just checked and the Minecraft Creator's Bundle (1TB, comes with digital code for Minecraft and some cosmetics for it) should be $199.99 through the Microsoft Store starting tomorrow for Xbox Live Gold Members (I think the sale will be opened to nongoldailures later).

why pick mediocre when you could get the most powerful console on the market?

The Xbox One X plays games at 6x the graphical fidelity of the Xbox One S, and it's only 2x the price. Honestly it's a freaking steal.

Yeah but for that money you can have two Xbox One Ses or an Xbox One S and a PS4 and really cover everything.

then why not just buy a base Xbox One for $50 from some rando on craigslist with cigarette ash coating the fans

you get what you pay for with the X - Quality

If you are on a budget, the S is fine. Don't listen to people who say if you play <insert game here> on anything but an X, it will look like poo poo. It won't. They are incorrect.

Some people just like to play games and don't care about all the pixels being more.

The X will look better if your TV and set up allows it. The S will play the games just fine.

It's still the same games. Not everyone wants or can spend the extra money. Why some people cannot understand that I will never know.

edit: I seriously cannot believe some people are going all console warrior while still talking about the same console.

I've been dog and cat sitting for my mom and playing RDR2 over at her place on a 65" tv and her og Xbone and for all the fuss digital foundry made over the x version being so much better than any other version, it looks and plays just fine. The difference is so slight between it and playing on the x at home that anyone who gets that worked up about it is an idiot.

e: Although I have a hard time telling if people who say the s is a waste of money and to buy an x (200 more god drat dollars) are like, joking or if people are really that goony in 2018.

As a person who wasn’t planning on getting an Xbox this generation, maybe I’ll get an S for $200 just to play forza4h and a couple other exclusives

I had a PS3, 360 and Wii just because I got all of them on sale/used, maybe doing the same for this gen eventually

Yay, budget gaming

You should be encouraging half generation upgrades because the OG One was trash and it brings a lot of new people into the Xbox ecosystem like myself who didn't want to buy the One despite owning an original Xbox and Xbox 360 at launch. As soon as the X came out I sold my PS4 Pro and came back. Well... after God of War.

Not everyone needs the top of the line system. Some people are buying for their literal kids and don't want to spend the money on an X.

Some people really only play like 3 games and don't want to invest in the X.

I get it.

Sure but the S is fine as a half generation upgrade and there's no need to push people into getting the X because of a couple pixels. I'm happy with the X but it's definitely a splurge rather than a must have over a perfectly good S.

Oh yeah grabbing the budget gamers is good too. Xbox needs everyone at this point. But idiots like me will spend 10 times more per year on games.

That would have been nice, but it's time for a refresh anyway. Five years is more than enough for a generation imo.

The S isn't a half gen upgrade lmao. It's a kludge on the existing Xbone to add in support for the 4k output/those UHD Blu-Ray very few people buy. Like the slim revisions of the ps3/360 it's essentially a little faster by accident as a result of fixing other issues.


Nobody should be spending full price on an S by now, flat out.
