£449 and £249. Those are great prices, and I was preparing for higher.

I think both the Series S and X will be new additions to the household shortly!

Same here, i was thinking the XSX is going to be at least £500 with 3 times the GPU, Blu ray drive and 1TB SSd. I thought the S was a bargain but the X is even better. Me and my Son's Xmas presents sorted.

 

[longdi]

Expecting 599, so 499 is a mic drop imo.
Most powerful console at most value price.
Very aggressive, very...
All in bhoys!

 

[splattered]

anyone ordering direct from microsoft?

I will be as long as they dont bave a one per household rule.

If availability is good, I will probably be getting x2 series X and x2 series S. (For me, wife, and kids)

 

[n0razi]

Solid value for the hardware IMHO... but still not even remotely interested. I will probably pick up a PS5 initially and a Series-S during a holiday sale ($150-200 bundle)

 

[DigitalScars]

Surprised at the prices. I'm a PS5 guy, not been xbox since 360 but with the attractive prices and game pass i can see me picking one of these up as well.

There really is no excuse for sony being silent now though, MS have revealed all what's the hold up? Only reason i can think of is that it's way more than £449 and they're now scrambling to figure out how to bring it down a bit.

 

[mckmas8808]

Honestly surprised at the price, they must be losing some money on this.

Did you really expect it to be $600 or something?

 

[reinking]

I have been expecting $499 so I am glad it was finally confirmed. Now if Sony will do the same. Also, just open preorders now. Why wait?

 

[Flintty]

£449 is a great price. I am there day 1

Yup, £30 more than the X at launch, which was the price I was hoping for but still happy with this. Let me pre order now though ffs.

Same here - day 1. X upstairs and S downstairs in the living room

 

[Zuzu]

I'm ready for my dreams to be powered. Series X Day One!

 

[CouzinD]

I think people have been massively over estimating the cost of these next gen consoles.

 

[salva]

RIP my mates from Australia
Xbox Series X $749 (RRP).
Xbox Series S $499 (RRP).

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

Bravo to Team Xbox for nailing the god damn prices of these next gen consoles. You deserve every bit of praise Xbox, feels like it's been eons since Xbox nailed the pricing at the start of a new generation!

 

[Evilms]

Imagine Sony announce the PS5 at 399$

 

[fermcr]

Frightened Sony can now announce their prices... embarrassing for Sony that they always have to wait for others to go first.

 

[Jayjayhd34]

I'm in two minds about S on if its going to sell well on one hand 250 its a steal for the average gamer. Just got wait and see how much it holds back next gen multiplats, personally think It will depend on the developers and will really struggle later in the generation, interesting times ahead.

As an Australian, let me be the first to say: ouch... that’s about $100 higher than I was expecting. A $500 budget console?

 

[BlackProdigy]

Oh man that S is going to sell a TON!

 

[Tell_men]

Series X, day one for me.

 

[iorek21]

Now it's up to you, Sony.

Are they going to pull a 2013?

 

[Hotty Botty]

I can see Sony going $399 for PS5.

 

[DigitalScars]

Just saw that their 2 year payment plan options for the S & X also includes 2 years worth of Game Pass Ultimate, seems like more of an absolute steal now and will be great for families on a tighter budget.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Absolutely phenomenal value at $499.

 

[pesaddict]

ffs i want a 3080ti aswell

 

[namekuseijin]

on Sony's side it'll probably be: 400 full, 300 digital, 200 Pro

More expensive than the PS3 at launch here. Interesting how people had prepared themselves for a higher price and so the £449 price seems good!

 

[ManaByte]

on Sony's side it'll probably be: 400 full, 300 digital, 200 Pro

$600 full, $400 digital, $300 Pro

 

[DonkeyKong]

Happy with £449, think MS have done a good job with the S announcement and EA access+gamepass, will be interesting to see the PS5 pricing, surely the PS5DE has to undercut the X, would be shocked if it didn't

 

[Redlancet]

Did you really expect it to be $600 or something?

a lot of peope including me and all the devs i know with internal memos,so this price must been decided in the past month

 

[Tbone3336]

Gears Tactics releasing on console same day.

 

[Mattyp]

RIP my mates from Australia
Xbox Series X $749 (RRP).
Xbox Series S $499 (RRP).

Expected more, paid over $1,000 for the PS2 & PS3. $750 is fuck all in Australia for anyone working, even though our dollar is weaker ending in high conversions like this our wages are still a lot higher.

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

I can see Sony going $399 for PS5.

$399 is insane value for PS5.

 

[jshackles]

Definitely picking up a Series X at that price. Hopefully Sony matches and I can get all of next-gen for a grand.

 

[ManaByte]

LOL today is the 25th anniversary of the PSX in the US. This is a Genesis-era Sega move to announce pre-orders today.

 

[TLZ]

Oof finally we have a pre-order date and price. Felt like an eternity.

 

[Andodalf]

you got a link for that please

Thats literally just what all access is, a console + GPU

 

[pesaddict]

I mean it only includes it because you are paying for it. Over 2 years you pay $600 in total for the Series S and $840 for the Series X.

 

[Elginer]

Where the fuck you at Sony?

 

[ManaByte]

Where the fuck you at Sony?

 

[TigerKnee]

Dead on arrival. $499 is exorbitant for having no games

I'm getting it day one and with EA Play now joining Game Pass, I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a shit ton of games to play.

 

[Unknown?]

I fucking hope it is lmao £499 is insane considering basically half of that gets you a Series S

S is only 1/3 the power though.

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

I wonder if Nvidia sucked the air out of the $600 market. Though I dont think either console would do well until the costs came down, they might have been happy collecting money from fan boys until it was time mass market next year.

 

[Rossco EZ]

i’ve never pre ordered a console before i’ve always got it like a month later, does anyone know when they usually start pre orders? is it exactly after midnight or will it be a set time during the day?

Nah, that’s not really too bad, at least for the X. Works out at US$545 at current exchange rate and includes our 10% GST. The S not so good at US$363.

Good on them for just going all in after the S leak. Didn't keep people waiting too long at all.
