I'll predict lots available at release day. Releasing a limited edition version and having it sell out creates press.


And MS needs some positive press coverage.

 

[Syrus]

I see it here too http://www.gamestop.com/trade

Anyone know how much a 500GB Xbox One S will net me? Says ask store associate but there is no way in hell I'm talking to one of those leeches (not their fault I know) until I absolutely have to :X

Should be at least 150, was 150 for OG to Xbox S

 

[That Damn Kid]

edit...sorry about that. it meant to be a joke but perhaps it's too early to mention scalpers.

 

[RoninChaos]

I figure the trade in bonus has to be 150 for an OG. You can get 150 now for an OG if you trade it towards a switch.

 

[guitarguy316]

Yeah but it will keep popping up and go away until launch

meh, i guess amazon and microsoft is good enough. funds aren't the issue, it's just annoying to keep seeing it pop up and off for 3 months.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Had a lot of GameStop credit from their trade in deal last month so out of pocket it's costing me $200. Not bad!

 

[gamz]

Too soon?

Most expensive console? Okay....

 

[Toki767]

Too soon?

Nintendo quantities but not Nintendo demand.

These things aren't going to be scalped the way the SNES Classic will be.

 

[borges]

Too soon?

Welcome to Gamefaqs!

 

[watdaeff4]

Too soon?

I laughed


EDIT: I see the joke went over some heads in addition to at least one Sony fanboy having to be negative

Do you have to pay tax if you order with credits? I assume the answer is yes.

 

[Podge293]

Finally gone live on the Irish MS store. Got myself one. Seems I can easily cancel if I so desire.

Fun times ahead

I haven't been charged yet

 

[Spasm]

Most expensive console? Okay....

I have a 3DO. Edit: And a phat PS3.

To OP, Why are they pissing off the gaming community?

 

[MrJames]

Best Buy charges now and then authorization goes away?

 

[TrojanAg]

I was sold on this console after playing Forza at E3. It looks CLEAN

 

[Bsigg12]

What if neither are a factor?

EA Access nets you 10 hours of playing the game before launch on Xbox and 10% of a digital purchase.

 

[SimpleCRIPPLE]

GameStop app shows $100 trade in already for og Xbox one 500 gb, doesn't look like any bonus for us on the old original.

Amazon giving $127 for the OG. Making me swing back to keeping my Amazon preorder since Gamestop isn't doing any kind of bonus.

Dude you and the guy you quoted need to actually read the image.

you should have seen how cranky CheapAssGamer got when NES Classic sold out because scalpers were buying so many

 

[BradWardFight]

Preordered 1 at EB and 1 at Best Buy online. Need to preorder in store at both next.

 

[Hawk269]

I have to say this has been exciting. Decided to drive to a GameStop even after calling them and them not knowing, figured I would take a chance and go to the Store directly. As I walk in there are 4 people in line, 3 clerks behind the counter with 1 on the phone talking about the pre-order. I walked up and asked and they said it just started. 4 guys in front of me all pre-ordering. When I get to the register another 3 walk in and the guy in charge of answering the phone had about 6 calls all in a row asking about it. This particular store has 24, I was number 6 with another 3 that were behind me giving them 9 within it going live within 30 minutes.

I needed one for my Wife and they would not allow me to do another one, so drove to another GS. Apparently they have linked their systems and it blocked me, but the guy said they could just put my Wife in the system and since we are moving I had them use our new address. That Store only had 12 units and sold through 6 already with my wife having the 7th unit.

It was fun and exciting, talked with a few guys outside that were in front of me and it had that new console generation feel or excitement.

Four units? Scalping?

 

[Hawk269]

Too soon?

Umm...WTF dude? I mean, I know you are trying to be funny, but fuck man, this is pre-order thread for people that want to pre-order and we really don't need this kind of shit in every Xbox One thread.

Sorry for the rant, but it is just getting fucking old now.

 

[Spasm]

OK, I get it now. But is it really that limited, though? I can still add to cart from BB.

 

[Shil Pencer]

I don't think 150-175 from GameStop for an og xbone is out of reach. I think it will be a thing where only if you have a preorder will you get the promotion. GameStop have done some crazy deals like that in the past

 

[RedRum]

This is part of the flyer I got.

Don't care for EA Access and I'm physical only =)

 

[BradWardFight]

Don't trust retailers to not have consoles available. Preordered before and got screwed with Wii U and PS4. My hope is I can get one locally so I dont have to wait for it to ship.

 

[The Elite]

On One X hardware?

It is quite exciting - a lot of people said that it's just the hardcore that would want this, but I think today is proving just how tempting the prospect of power is to us all, especially when it's been touted for over a year in front of us. Xbox is my favourite ecosystem to play multiplatforms on. It'll be nice to no longer have performance concessions while playing and to be near the top of the DF food chain for a bit too haha!

 

[ViciousDS]

Man not even $200 for the S

My OG bone got me $200 towards the S if I remember on a promo

 

[Duchess O'Death]

Too soon?

HDR = High Dynamic Revenue?

Yeah it was. For me, me and my Wife just moved to Boise, Idaho and we really don't know anyone, meet 4 people at the first GS, exchanged GT's etc. Really nice people. But yeah, it did have that excitement level to it that is normally when a new generation starts.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Is it even a consideration?

Yep, for me my X1X will get Xbox only console stuff anything else is still going on the Pro.

 

[SimpleCRIPPLE]

On One X hardware?

Yes. The for a demos at e3 were on x hardware and 4k screens. Looked fantastic.

 

[twinturbo2]

So the GameStop trade in deal, can I keep my S until launch, then trade it in for the X and get the deal? I have a 2TB S, should get $150 from that.

 

[RedRum]

Man not even $200 for the S

My OG bone got me $200 towards the S if I remember on a promo

Yup. The S was extremely cheap for me. I guess I'm getting back something at least. *sigh* I might be able to hit $200 with a few game trade-ins as well, but only $150 for an S is robbery, lol.

 

[BradWardFight]

I am still some what skeptical on how well these games will run on Xbox One X vs PS4 Pro vs PC was hoping we'd get some type of performance or graphics comparison video

 

[gamz]

Yes. The for a demos at e3 were on x hardware and 4k screens. Looked fantastic.

Did you play Gears 4? I heard that looked fantastic.

 

[Duchess O'Death]

Here's GameStop deal.

 

[Syrus]

Og was 150.

 

[vatstep]

Same, unless multi-platform games are dramatically better on X1X. I'm not going to assume anything until I see it myself.

 

[tapedeck]

$150 credit for the One S is a joke.

EXACTLY!!!


When the Pro released we went from a solid console to just a minor bump/revision. While it was great, it wasn't needed as badly, you could still play horizon zero dawn in 1080p perfectly locked in at 30fps.

Some Xbox exclusives we've had to deal with some blurry ass looking quality because of 720p and other stuff.

FFXV while I wanted to badly play on my Xbox ended up being played on my Pro to completion because of how bad XV looks blown up on the big screen.

Now enters the X and we are guaranteed at LEAST 1080p with most titles much higher. I even sent it to my friend we finally got a fucking console we have deserved for a long time. No longer must I read a DF thread insanely disappointed about how shitty the Xbox version is.

I love my Pro

But all my friends game on the X and that's where I want the best experience

 

[Syrus]

Here's GameStop deal.

......you have to be power up reward for these?

 

[That Damn Kid]

HDR = High Dynamic Revenue?

damn wish I would have thought of that

 

[Weevilone]

Would it be a terrible idea to switch a Best Buy order from shipping to in-store pickup?

 

[Lima]

$150 credit for the One S is a joke.

It's Gamestop lol.

And MS needs some positive press coverage.

It's anecdotal, but I didn't preorder the original XB1 and I was able to buy a Day One Edition from the MS Store website a few weeks post-release.

 

[Duchess O'Death]

......you have to be power up reward for these?

I guess but I don't know what's the difference between the free and paid memberships.
