The brute memes went viral in a matter of hours. I cannot scroll down my Twitter feed without seeing someone's (Brilliant) phtotoshops of this guy... It is quite hilarious. Even more hilarious and embarrassing is this Halo Infinite reaction thing that Xbox is literally boasting about.
Who the fuck reacts like this from a FUCKING MAP SCREEN. I'm so tired of these fake, over-the-top reactions to save a game that looks absolutely subpar after 5 years of development.

OTOH - WB has 'confirmed' a release date for Tenet how many times?

Official Price for the smaller "digital only" Xbox Series S is...
$299!
Microsoft have made the first move...Sony's turn.
FATUM NOS IUNGET
I'd definitely go for a Series S if:
1. I didn't ever sell physical games when finished with them (other than Batman and BioShock discs, I have maybe like two?)
2. I didn't have $600 worth of BestBuy gift cards sitting here.
GIVE ME A SERIES X NOW, KTHX.
tempus est umbra in mente
can you buy older 360 etc games via the Xbox digital marketplace for the Series S? If you can, I might get one. There's enough games in the back catalogue now that I would like to give a shot at. It's all about the backwards compatibility for me... which is something that Sony is completely dropping the ball on.

It still blows my mind that we don't have concrete pricing for both (now just the Series S). It's two months away!

I cannot confirm but i assumed this was part of the backwards compatibility...at least that's what i was thinking. Much like yourself that might actually get me to pick on one up...that and it's £250 in the UK and...that's cheaper then a freaking Switch! A next gen console!
This Cannot Continue
This price point has, for the first time in YEARS, got me actually thinking about getting an xbox!
Of course there are some caveats to that. Firstly i'm big on physical media, i like having a physical game in hand so i can play whenever i want (and i like to keep all my fav games on display) so i wouldn't be able to do this unless i just used it as a wayback machine for old xbox games and just get a Game Pass with it to give stuff a try.
Second...JRPG's, or just Japaneses games in general. Xbox doesn't have many (i remember this being a big deal when i had a 360) Unless there's a push to port JRPG's onto the xbox it'll be a big draw back for me.
...but at that price, and it being only £250 in the UK, for a next gen console that can play old games with no restrictions...that's REALLY fucking tempting! Also i could buy Cyberpunk physically on xboxone (to have my physical fill and steel case) and upgrade for free. I'm tempted, really tempted!

£449 is actually a very good price...i'm honestly tempted!

Yeah word is on the same day, EA Play is being brought into the Game Pass family (still available on its own). I reached out to my friend at EA to confirm the date but he hasn't answered my text yet.

Wait...so they just anncoued the plans for All Access. For $24.99 a month for 24 months, you get your choice of net gen console (S or X) Game Pass Ultimate and EA play is now included...that's...that's a fucking outrageous deal!
Only By Night
The price is good, but I am still waiting for a next gen game to be running on any next gen Xbox console. People see price and immediately lose their shit. Besides the bw compat schtick, what are you playing on this thing?

34.99 is for the Series X. 24.99 for the S.
House Always Wins
Same camp. Neither console has any attractive launch game and I don't expect most games to be of value on these systems until at least next summer the earliest, but those will still be accommodating the current gen. Probably will until 2022 if we're honest.
tempus est umbra in mente
If you're generally a fan of Japanese games, and you have to pick only ONE console to play on, the Xbox isn't it. There's a ton of great games on it, and their policy towards backwards compatibility should really be lighting a fire under Sony's feet... but even then, I've played most of the older games on Sony consoles... There's very little I haven't that I want to check out.
That's not the case w/ the Xbox back catalogue. I really want to play Alan Wake, the Ori games, Lost Odyssey, Sea of Thieves, Killer Instinct, D4, other stuff... it's not much but it's worth it at that price point.
Only By Night
I'm only interested in Ratchet and Spider-man, but PS5 definitely has the more intriguing line up. I mean, I have a lot of games in my PS4 backlog that I need to get to, so knowing I'll be able to play those on PS5 I guess is a plus. Depending on how much better the games will look on whatever boost option or whatever they want to call it, but you're absolutely right.
For me, I think even the people that are making the backwards compat a selling point will come to realize how much they really won't play older games on a next gen console once Xbox starts pumping out these games. But having to wait until 2022 for most of what they showed...this can completely kill Xbox if they don't have anything up their sleeve since Halo Infinite is no longer a launch title. The fact that I can play half of these games on my Intel core 5 Lenovo laptop kind of makes me laugh.
I still have all of my consoles and I think people forget that PS1 games play on any PS3. PS2 is bit more annoying but you can buy one for literally nothing these days; I find them almost all the time for about 20 bucks at pawn shops so the defense that older consoles cost too much money is bullshit.
Everyone has their thing, but I want to play new games on my new console **Shrugs**.

Ah my bad...that's still a good price though

Honestly i'm only tempted to get a next gen JUST for cyberpunk...i want it at 60fps, and rebuilding my PC will cost significantly more then just plumbing for a S. And with EA play i'll get 2 Fifa's in the mix. And i would like to give Forza a look. Tempting.

Absolutely, a hell of a deal. I'm still wondering if that will have taxes added to it...
