What ever the case may be I still won't spend any money on game pass they got enough of my money over the years the last straw for was when they raised the prices on 6 year old hardware and then create a story that there is a chip shortage, create a crisis then raise prices.
Well anyway even if I was to buy one I would wait a year anyway I doubt if I would spend money like that on a game console I guess I will be keeping my Xbox series x for a awhile
Needs to have a disc drive and the price needs to be realistic and not based on the fake hardware shortage that all those company's are complaining about, create a crisis and raise prices !
You mean the made up component crisis there is no reason why why there would be a a component crisis it's just another way for companies to make more and more money create a fake crisis and raise prices.
Anyone who pays Scalper prices is a complete fool the only way to deal with scalpers is not to buy from them but you will always have those desperate people who are willing spend 2000 dollars on in reality a 499 dollar hardware but then again the scalpers just just going off the thief price of 899 so I guess you can look at it as Microsoft being the biggest scalper of them all.
Just went on eBay to see what the scalpers were selling the 25th anniversary Xbox series X for some were 2500 and a few were 3000 anyone who is desperate enough to pay that kind of price is a total fool I made a offer for this one scum bag who was selling it for 3,000.00 of 299.00 because it's just about 7 year old hardware now and it's not even worth it's original price of 499.00
@Kloppo hopefully people show restraint and don't bow to those scalpers no one should be that desperate to pay that kind of money especially when we all know it's only worth 499 or less because that hardware is just about 7 years old the greed from all those companies is astonishing.
The only way to deal scalpers just don't buy from them I mean the price in the first place is outrageous at 899 but to buy from a scalper is just very foolish personally I had no intention of paying that kind of money in the first place especially when I already have an Xbox series X that I paid the original price for I'll wait to see what the helix will be.
I doubt very much if I will buy another console and if there is the slightest possibility then I'll just wait for the project helix to come out I already have the series x right now I hve much more important things to spend 899 on like bills 🤣
The controller is sold out already but still have my 20th anniversary controller so the hell with it I am sure Xbox did not do a thing to control the scalpers buying them up
@Sindayl yes went to pre-order and it's out of stock most likely scalpers grabbed a lot of them I went to look on eBay and sure enough they are already there for twice the price.
That's a ridiculous price of 899 for a Xbox that's just a green color everything else is the same on the inside I will not even consider buying that unless they lower the price to what it is worth 499 and that's all it worth.
The prices are a joke they are 6 year old hardware one thing for sure I will stick with my Xbox series x it will be a cold day in hell when I let Microsoft or any other company rip me off I paid the original price for my Xbox series x and even then I was hesitant to buy it but now the prices are outrageous and forget about the next generation coming out they will be even more if I didn't know any better I would say Microsoft and Sony are trying to put themselves out of Business.
I'm 71 years old now been playing video games for a long time and to tell the truth I don't care what Sony or Microsoft do anymore I have a big Library of games both physical and digital one thing for sure won't be buying anymore consoles I have a Xbox series x and a Xbox one x and that's good enough for me.
No disk drive then I am not interested anyway I can't see myself spending anymore money on any console I'll just stick with my Xbox series x I sure very much missed the Xbox 360 days.
I'm sure Phil and Sarah were pushed out in a respectable way but never the less pushed out because they didn't agree with the heck with gamers we need to make more money culture that Microsoft and Xbox turned into I have no delusions in thinking there will be any changes for the good.
29.99 a month what a joke but I cancelled my game pass months ago I have a big library of games both Physical and digital looks like Microsoft is trying to push everyone away and if they are their doing a good job of it !
It will be a cold day in hell when i would pay more money for 5 year old consoles in fact those consoles should be down in price not up the xbox series x should be no more then 299.00 now and the s should be 199.00
I cancel my game-pass no more giving Microsoft 240 dollars a year but I do buy games when there is a big discount but it has to be a big discount anyway I have a big game library that will keep me going for a long time both digital and hardcopies
I'll keep my Xbox series x, I still have my Xbox one x and it can still play a lot of game in my big Library also so as far as I'm concerned no more spending money on new consoles
I'm at the point now where I don't worry about all this stuff with Microsoft I just play games don't get me wrong I feel for the people that are losing their jobs but I'll just keep playing and have fun definitely not gonna lose any sleep over !
