Should cost between 100 to 150
I get that Microsoft wants digital sales, but from the customers perspective why would anyone want an all digital platform unless they have to like the eternal PCuk?
sad
>heh we'll make a console where we take away physical collection and BC
>we'll call it the SAD edition and sell it for the same price!
Fucking idiots. They really can't get their heads out of their ass this gen.
Imagine the disappointment if you told a kid 10 years ago consoles will look like shoeboxes
>tries to brag about the UHD when releasing the S models years ago
>Yea Forums tries to shit on sony for not including a UHD into the slim saying 4k streaming is where it matters
>Microsoft realizes sony was right and decides to just remove the entire thing all together to one up sony
>ends up making themselves the joke in the end
FUCKING
LEAF
Imagine telling kids from 20 years ago that games would still run at 30fps
>What's an fps? Oh you mean like Doom?
>removing the disc drive from a UHD Blu Ray player
Nice paperweight there.
Someone mentioned in a previous thread about the Xbox SAD that Microsoft is not forcing them to buy the SAD, while that may be true for now. It's certainly a forshadowing of Microsoft's intentions. They will inevitably force their customers to buy all digital games from their store, and basically tie them to their Gamepass subcription service, in order to compete with Google and Sony. They think game streaming is the next step, so the SAD is an indication of their direction probably for the next gen. Just my guess
Why didn't they make it physically smaller?

(you)
Wrong thread there bub.
>being this new
Jackpot! but did you honestly think M$ was that smart?
not gonna lie, thats one sexy looking console
>30fps gaming
people knew what the fuck FPS was back then you idiot.
PC games didn't run at a locked 30fps either.
>Metaphorical tape over the CD slot is actually true.
Half-life didn't exactly ran smoothly on 97-98 cards. Same for Doom 3 and farcry 1 when they first launched.
Its literally just a white, plastic rectangle.
Is that that thing from Charlie's Angels?
What's Yea Forums's obsession with plastic circles? Are you really that young that you can't remember how everyone saw them as a cheap replacement to vynil?
>XBox S all digital
>has two analog sticks
nice try, Microsoft
and you are literally a waste of oxygen
Physical media is physical media. It's about ownership you zoomer.
>alive when vynil was big
>zoomer
Nice meme retard
>digital only
> 1TB HDD
Vinyl's big now you fucking fool. They sell record players and vinyl at goddamn Whole Foods now.
the One S is literally sold as a UHD bluray player in Japan, imagine how well this is going to sell over there
Just as an example, you can buy a pre-owned copy of Halo 3 (which runs on the Xbox One with backwards compatibility) for just 50p ($0.65 USD), while it costs £15 ($19.50 USD) to download it from Microsoft.
So basically you pay THIRTY TIMES the cost if you get the download, versus the physical version.
That's why physical is better. Not to mention that the normal console can play Ultra HD Blu Rays (which me and my family already have quite a few of). And also even for brand new games, the disc on Amazon is almost always cheaper than the download from Microsoft, and sometimes by significant amounts.
Downloading would only make sense if the games were cheaper than physical games. But they're literally more expensive than physical games. And they're ABSURDLY more expensive when it comes to older games. So it makes no sense whatsoever.
Ah yes, as big as when there were stores full of vynils and people used them almost exclusively, retard.
It costs the same as the non-plastic version, but I don't have to waste time and electricity downloading it.
keep moving the goal post, idiot. vinyl is still big and just reached a 30 year high. your original statement of >was alive when vinyl was big
is still true today
What goalpost retard, read my post. Just stop posting.
>create digital-only Xbone graphic
>just remove the disc slot
So they're just going to leave a huge space where the optical drive was, OP? Fucking think about it.
Learn how to communicate. It will cut down on some of your frustrations in your life.
Sure.
they already did that you fucking faggot
the sata port for the disc drive and even the eject button can still be found inside the machine with a huge open space inside where the disc drive used to be, they literally removed the thing and printed a new case without the disc sleeve and called it a day
Why would they waste money redesigning the casing and re-engineering everything to fit into it? As well as spend even more money printing new PCBs without the SATA port and eject button. What they're doing is fine, I just wonder how expensive it'll be.
it's pretty cute desu
>no disc drive
>costs more than one with disc drive
you can attach external drives user so it's acxhually unlimited storage space
Xbone "Live" Gold and Gaympass are included
I will get one of these as a secondary xbox
THEY LITERALLY ALREADY TRIED THIS WHEN XBONE WAS ANNOUNCED
THEY SAID IT WOULD NEED A CONSTANT ONLINE CONNECTION AND YOU COULDN'T BUY SECOND HAND GAME DISCS\
EVERYONE IS JUST COOL WITH IT NOW BECAUSE CURRENT YEAR MMMMMM CORPORATIONS SLURP SLURP
FUCK ZOOMERS
At least they confirmed their next gen xbox's will come with a disk drive so there's nothing to worry about
if the xbone has no software limitations to keep you from replacing the hard drive why didn't they make the hard drive bay easily accessible without disassembling it
The thing is Microsoft has been slowly feeding them what they wanted the Xbone to be in the first place. Just as a reminder, you need to have an email address to make an account on the Xbone, even to play offline.
>Well then just don't make an account and just play your games offline!
Oh but here's the thing, you can't save games unless you have an account. Microsoft already successfully pulled this "soft always online drm" and they're just slowly trying to get everyone to accept it.
This doesn't need an always online connection dumbass.
they literally just remove the disc drive
how lazy can they be?
>you can't save games without registering for an online account
is this shit for real? seriously, is this documented anywhere?
hurr
>so it's acxhually unlimited storage space
Yeah, assuming you have unlimited money to buy those external drives.
And the whole point of a console is no-hassle, self-contained. If you're going out buying extra parts, why not just buy a PC?
SAD!
I only own 2 physical games for my xbox.
of course you can save
and even unlock achievements
it's called local gamertag
it's the OP bumping his thread desu
the xbox one s is the best looking console ever made tho
poorfag
This though, the Xbone S is the cheapest UHD player on the market and is also a fucking videogame console
I just don't fucking understand why they'd do this and not drop the price accordingly
literally no one cares
Why is everyone ignoring this genius of a man
250$
literally 20$ more expensive than the regular S with 1 new actual game
Halo 3 was free tho. not microsofts fault you missed it
this shows just how much people care about 4K playback
you still have to waste time installing games, and then switching them out when you want to play another one
the 50p copy is limited, supply and demand will adjust that price so your point is retarded
i have no mouth and i must scream
you don't need a constant internet connection to play digital games, user
halo 3 sold over 10 million copies. it's never going to be hard to find a copy of halo 3.
Sucks because I was actually going to buy one if it was under $200 just for the few Microsoft exclusives. Totally not worth it when I can just wait a year and get one for $100 or less.
No but my father used to own an Xbone and it's real.
>it's called local gamertag
Which you can't fucking have unless you make an account with an email tied to it. Offline profiles aren't actually a thing like they were on the 360, shill.
? I have over 500 digital games for it
You can find OG Xbones really, really cheap if you don't care about graphics
If you look up "how to create an offline account on Xbox One" you'll see plenty of people trying to do it and they're all being told they can't. They have to have an email tied to it.
is a shill
Xbox One, SAD!
Just get the S
is a resetera trannie
>proved wrong
>T-TRANNIE!!!
Might not wanna use that kind of language, your boss might get mad at you for using that word. Go ahead and shill up another thread.
irrelevant
>boss
don't have one
I'm rich :^)

Eco friendly.
post more hideous fake renders
i love these
You guys must really want this pile of shit, you should be really happy about this, because of the horrible pricing, Microsoft killed an all-digital future, what you stupid faggots want a console to be all digital or something? Please don't tell me you're all this retarded?
who are you mad at
>mad
Nah, I'm just calling you guys idiots for wanting this, I rather this not become popular that gaming can stay physical as it should.
nobody in this thread wants this
SAD lmfao... LOL SAD!!! LMFAO IT'S SAD!!!
hhmmm
even the psp go was better than this because it at least had more storage than most psps
xbone sad is a straight downgrade
It comes with 3 pack in games instead of the usual 1. Take the $250 - 2x $60 of the two extra games gives you $130
Then why talk about it, it was sent out to die, that's its purpose.
This 150, maybe 200
if you haven't noticed, we're all pointing and laughing
because it's fun
join the party, man
I don't really care too much about it since the Scarlett will make this forgettable anyway. I'm just happy that when this fails (and it will fail) it will kill any chances of there ever being an Xbox Scarlett version of this.
finally it looks like a box
Minecraft does not cost 60, sea of thieves is shit and Forza might be fun
don't post pictures of my wife from such angles
The fuck is wrong with man thumbnail?
it comes with minecraft, a game practically everyone has
not even the latest forza horizon game
and fucking sea of thieves
on top of this it doesn't even have a 4k bluray player
even $200 would have been asking for to much
I dig the console desu, but a glass controller is probably the most retarded thing imaginable.
Still think the Slim has a nice simple and clean design, even moreso without the disc drive.
Shame it literally has no games.
$200 MSRP/ full retail
$80 on sale
$160 Black Friday, or $180 bundled
No exclusives though, so that's an expensive paper weight.
How's the hacking scene going--might make a neat low-end computer.
>You can't replace the drive
Oh wait, nevermind
Reminder that the Xbone does not function without internet. The console can't even boot and load into the dashboard without connecting to Microsoft's servers. Xbox services went down for a few hours a month or two ago and people thought their consoles were bricked because they booted to a black screen and Microsoft tried to pass it off as a "bug". windowscentral.com
XBONE SAD :(
i haven't connected my xbox to the internet for ages and i can play rdr2 just fine
backwards compability? games you already own physically?
all bc games are in the store (which is why they're having issues with og xbox games with licensing problems) so this is most likely targeted at people who are new to the platform and don't buy disks.
How did we go from this...
4ever?
it probably depends on whether it's actually hooked up or not. windows is like that too. if the network port is just dead it will skip it, but if you boot with a live cable that has no connectivity past the local gateway, it will wait for a timeout
>all bc games are in the store
just for hueg, there are compatible 360 games that aren't available digitally.
should have been at least $200 but bundled with a year of live and gamepass
That would have been pretty smart. Gamepass and Gold for a year for those "free" games would be the perfect trojan horse to get people sucked into their digital ecosystem too because afterward they'd need to pay money or they'd have a useless box.
Because an external and the Xbox are about $300. Unless plugging in a USB is a lot of work for you.
from this to that?
