Looks like Microsoft decided to also keep the price of their new controllers same as last gen and not up the price unlike Sony. Good move. This is New Zealand pricing.

Yeah, they changed it. I mean on paper XSX is more powerful than the PS5, while the PS5 has a faster SSD. We'll have to wait to see how it pans out come launch but what they said isn't exactly wrong.

EB games site has shit the bed again for the 3pm pre-orders lol.
Yep I was able to put my card details in once and it failed so I've given up. We will see in the coming weeks if they allocate more stock to Aus.
I just tried and it's working for me. Went all the way to the pay $200 deposit page.

This is for later 2020 shipment though.

Have you managed to preorder yet?

Nice! Yeah I got one through JB at like 8.30 this morning, but they don't tell you if you'll get it at launch or in a later shipment unfortunately. 2 of my friends that were trying on EB just both got theirs about 2 mins ago.

Not buying either system this year. Neither of them are releasing anything worth a damn this year so why would I buy now? I fully expect to get both next year though.

To play devils advocate, you'll still probably pay the same price a year from now and in the meantime miss out on superior performance for the remaining current gen releases.

True. But you never know. There could be Small deals. Free gift card, free controller, etc, Or problems with the first run that need to be ironed out, or just not putting wear and tear into a machine until I need to.

Neither, I’m afraid. No games exclusive to Microsoft have wowed me at all, and those that I’m mildly interested in I could always play on my laptop.

Not having any XBox exclusives is the single biggest mistake they have made going into this generation.

I know, right. If someone else is playing the same game as me, I just can't enjoy it at all.

I tried on my laptop on the train ride home 5 times nothing way to many problems and gave up. came to my stop and tried on my phone as it was a long walk home. Got it, Money came out, confirmed by EB via email and I just Wow. The Gods were smiling on me

No mate I just gave up, couldn't be fucked anymore.. plus I was working and couldn't find the time to try. Just had a look then and they're pre sold.. oh well I'll get one eventually. Probably just spend the money on my little bloke instead..

I will be interested to see when they send out the late 2020 stock as I did call EB earlier today and he had no clue when they'd get it in and even said it may come early 2021..

Will be waiting for comparisons, reviews, and games that might interest me.

If it's only a reduction in resolution with the same IQ, I will get a Series S.

Just wanted to sus out eBay to see how much the scalpers are trying and found this beauty.. what the actual fuck.

Some of the other listings are upto 10 G's people can't be seriously paying for them?, Has to be the buying inflating the price even more by self bidding.
