Made for those who don’t have 4K TV and just use gamepass

That will sell better than the Switch for 2 months at the most, presuming Microsoft decides to reveal their awful hardware sales at any point

Meanwhile Sony is selling you a mini fridge

You can make memes for both systems. In the end, most people aren't going to care about what they look like, but the exclusives and gaming experience.

Microsoft needs to go ahead and make a portable gaming system it would be so awesome

Smart move Microsoft...

I wonder how this works though, do they have different games for the S vs the X since one has an optical drive vs the other doesnt?


I'm prob not going to get a console anyways since I havent bought one since the PS2 but 299 is pretty tempting just to have for a rainy day.

Since it doesn't have an optical drive, it will just be a software download which means it can be the same as the X series, just that the settings would be different. Kind of like a PC game, you buy it and set the settings according to the hardware of your PC.

Or they can be greedy bastards and sell a S and X version of the game, limiting you to your hardware. So if you buy the S version, good luck if you ever upgrade to am X console. (This is probably the route they will go).

They have the same games, think high end PC and low end PC for it

Yeah it’ll support next gen games, just medium settings w/o RTX and higher fidelity

No that I think about it this is not bad

The performance is basically the same as the series X but the resolution is only slightly lower (1440p) at a bargain price

A shame Xbox don't have any enticing exclusives compared to Sony

Xbox Series X launches Nov 10 for $499. Pre orders start Sep 22nd



I'll guess PS5 will be $449 digital - $499 disc drive

Does the 499 read blu rays?
