Switzerland seems to be clearing stock. There have been a lot of crazy sales lately, like Xbox One + a recent-ish game for $200.

Keep in my mind everything here is generally a bit more expensive. (it launched at ~$630 here)

 

[Menitta]

They're getting closer. If Scorpio comes out and the OG Xbox One gets another price cut, I'll pick it up, but there's not a lot I want to play on that console. There's KI, Sunset Overdrive, Scalebound, and maybe Rare Replay.

 

[Sulik2]

Crap, should have sold mine faster.

 

[barneystuta83]

And here. We. Go.

 

[Dreamgazer]

Crap, should have sold mine faster.

Tradr in value at most places already tanked by a good 50 bucks a few weeks ago

 

[Duxxy3]

I'm so tempted! I really want to play Forza Horizon 2 but can't get myself to bite knowing that E3 is around the corner.

I say...

Complete guess work:

XB1 ----------- $299
XB1-S -------- $349
XB-2017 ----- $599

 

[ElNino]

I just got the choose your game console with 500 gigs at bestbuy a few days ago for 350...

Well, Bestbuy is good for price matching so just bring your receipt into the store and get them to refund the difference. Problem solved.

 

[Chinese Cartoons]

I dont get these RRP you can get an xbox 1 and games bundles from £250.

 

[brickarts295]

This is good. It means I could find a used Xbox One for $200 in the near future. Just want to play all the Halo games and Gears before I die XD

 

[CoG]

Complete guess work:

XB1 ----------- $299
XB1-S -------- $349
XB-2017 ----- $599

No way the next Xbox (or any console) can sell for a penny more than $399.

 

[tiredheadcrab]

Yeah looks like they are trying to empty some stock of this model to make way for the slim that is rumored.

 

[dragonyeuw]

XB1 ----------- $299
XB1-S -------- $349
XB-2017 ----- $599

Good luck on getting people to buy into a $349 XB1 once you've established a $299 price.

 

[Nzyme32]

That's what I'd think if it wasn't 6TF. Don't think that is going to come in at $399 unless they loss lead, which I doubt

There is a reason why I specifically wrote "complete guess work" prior to that.

Refurbs on ebay are under $200 already.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

You are very late Microsoft. You should have done this by end of last year.

Well, now i'll wait a 250€ pricedrop.

 

[Skele7on]

Elite still £399 the wait continues...

 

[brawly]

That would be quite the bomba.

 

[brickarts295]

Even better, a lower price in the near future. I would bite now, but I just got a Wii U and buying games for it have already made me broke T_T

 

[Shiggy]

The system has been available for 250€, surprised that the official price was that much higher.

 

[CoG]

Nobody gives a shit about teraflops when it comes to price. PS3 tanked at $599 and so will any console that comes out the gate at > $399.

 

[Phillips455]

Complete guess work:

XB1 ----------- $299
XB1-S -------- $349
XB-2017 ----- $599

FIVE NINE NINE!!!

yeah, i dont think ANY game company is going to fall into that mistake again, no matter what their console has under the hood.

 

[jelly]

Complete guess work:

XB1 ----------- $299
XB1-S -------- $349
XB-2017 ----- $599

XB1 - 299
XB1-S - 299
Scorpio- 399

I only say that because the old Xbox One will be sold for much cheaper behind the scenes but not listed officially cheaper and 349 is a bit ridiculous for a Slim after all this time and would not gain a new consumer base.

 

[Mass Effect]

Complete guess work:

XB1 ----------- $299
XB1-S -------- $349
XB-2017 ----- $599

not a chance

 

[DannyDanger]

wasnt it already 299?

 

[demigod]

Both systems have been going for 299 or thereabouts for months. I expect Sony to set an official price to 299 within the month.

No it hasn't, PS4 has been back up to $349 for a while now.

 

[SuperSah]

You can find XBone still cheaper than the £279 anyways in the UK.

 

[Purest 78]

Why do people think a slim model would be more expensive than the original?

 

[Duxxy3]

wasnt it already 299?

"Temporary" price drop.

At least they didn't do what they did last year and end the temporary price drop for a couple weeks. Idiotic move that was.

 

[Havik]

Why do people think a slim model would be more expensive than the original?

I think console revisions have gone up in price in the past. Plus it probably has more storage (2gb)

 

[Boke1879]

Hmm, I think I'll still wait for another price drop or the more powerful one. Still doesn't feel like either console has a whole lot of exclusives I want.

Wait for the fall, Black Friday. Should be some insane deals

 

[Z3M0G]

Same price as WiiU is shocking.

Maybe WiiU will get a $100 cut during E3...

 

[Pankratous]

I've been seeing Xbox One's for less than £200 for months.

 

[dragonyeuw]

There is a reason why I specifically wrote "complete guess work" prior to that.

My response doesn't imply that I omitted that part of your post.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

You have been able to get an Xbox one for £220 ish with a game for months now.

Unless this means retailer deals drop even further, it's pretty much nothing.gif

 

[Sassen]

I feel like I've seen it at 299.99 all year.

 

[Moonstone]

XboxOne price in germany:

 

[dragonyeuw]

I feel like I've seen it at 299.99 all year.

It kinda feels like being able to get the system at that price, or $349 bundled with a shit-ton of games and accessories, has been par for the course for some time now. The prospective consumer has basically been conditioned to not pay MSRP.

 

[chubigans]

I honestly thought it was $250 this whole time.

 

[Theonik]

No it hasn't, PS4 has been back up to $349 for a while now.

I don't know I'm only looking at German prices mostly. but it seems the PS4 is up for deals for 299 or less since the start of the year with it hitting 260 earlier this year.

 

[MastaKilla]

Well GAF, I bought a refurbished Xbox One with Kinect, halo 5, Sunset Overdrive, Ryse, Kinect Sports and Forza 6 last week off of eBay for $279.

I feared there would be a price drop cause of looming e3. But I think it's safe to say my deal is still pretty solid yeah?

 

[KingWool]

$250 by Thanksgiving?

 

[Unknown?]

Unofficially

They literally JUST had an official spring sale at this price(in the US anyway).

Why would you buy any console right now? Is there something you want to play RIGHT NOW?

The games and kinect are probably worth, what, $150 or so? That means you basically got the XB1 for $129.

 

[SpecX]

Nice, I might bite after seeing the slim and if it's priced the same. I hope this drives down the price for the WiiU since I want to get one for my kids.

 

[Liamario]

Xbox One has some games I'd like to play, but I can't justify (even if I had the money) owning it and a PS4.

 

[Duxxy3]

$250 by Thanksgiving?

I'd bet a dollar on that.

 

[duhmetree]

I don't care for Halo or Forza..

There's little incentive to pickup an XBO... no matter the price.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Would probably impulse buy one if it came with a couple of games but still seems to be 350 on the Irish store.
