Roland Of Gilead Great! The price hike situation is the gift that keeps on giving! It's like, 'lets just kick 'em as hard as possible when they're down'! Bloody hell! Reply

txfeinbergs You would have to be an idiot to buy an out-of-date XBOX at that price. Reply

ezst036 But people keep saying that there won't be any price hikes on anything but except for the Steam Machine? 🤔 Reply

Obsolete is probably going to have to be re-examined as a concept given RAMpocalypse. However, the "cheaper" moniker is not exactly something to be proud of. Microsoft has lowered the console so cheaply that they're losing billions trying in desperation to get people to buy it. That smacks of a very sick, very decrepit product line/weak product offering. 2B02xE9jczY View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B02xE9jczY Reply

emike09 Gotta take advantage and scalp all the new buyers who are only buying for GTA VI. Which will be many. At that price, pay $100 more and get the PS5 Pro, which is far superior to the Series X. And while the controller takes a little getting used to (This is not the X button you are looking for), the controller tech is also superior and kinda cool. Plus, cheaper subscription and Sony's fine exclusives. Reply

Michael Pun Given how sloppy GTA6 is in many ways I may sell my PS5 pro at that time for like $800. I will just play it on PC later. Reply
