Hmm with Xbox All Access. Was this always available in your country? Thought this was a US only thingI just a received a SMS from my ISP. I'm guessing this means we're getting a pre-order announcement very soon. I thought this was thread worthy.
Here's a screenshot I took of the SMS I received:
Hyped!
Edit: I want to make clear that I signed up for updates ages ago.
Do you really think Lockhart is still happening?Now I’m even more hyped for the price war.
PS5 DE vs Lockhart
PS5 vs XSX
Choose your fighters.
Do you really think Lockhart is still happening?
Because if preorder is happening soon, that means Xbox has basically ran out of time to reveal the thing.
You think Series X can beat $399? Because that is my prediction for PS5.I still think Lockhart being nothing more than the diversion tactics to throw Sony off the projected price/performance goal. The real blow will come in the form of Series X price. I think they will try to undercut Sony.
I dont think they would of discontinued the OneX and diskless XB1 if Lockhart wasnt happening. I wouldnt be surprised if Lockhart comes a bit later, but i'm certain its happening.I still think Lockhart being nothing more than the diversion tactics to throw Sony off the projected price/performance goal.

Microsoft wasn't afraid to price Xbox One X at $499 when it released, so I wouldn't be surprised if Series X was at least that price. I expect PS5 to be around $499 as well, with digital edition being $449 maybe, or $499 with some digital code for something.You think Series X can beat $399? Because that is my prediction for PS5.
For me, i think the point of Lockhart is for the more causal gamer, that doesnt care about 4k. And people on 1080p tv's and have no intention of upgrading anytime soon. And for parents who can buy a new Xbox for little Timmy without breaking the bank, or the parents that will be like 'No we are not getting you that new Xbox, you dont eevn have a 4ktv!'.Yeah. Perhaps. I am just trying to figure out the purpose of Lockhart where Seriex X costs the same as PS5.

Loads of potential outcomes where a much cheaper next gen console, that can produce the same visuals as its bigger brother but at a lower resolution, would be a potential money winner.

What you are really saying, is that Series X would be sold at a price that would be unpalatable for the masses. And that a hypothetical Series S is the only way to salvage it.For me, i think the point of Lockhart is for the more causal gamer, that doesnt care about 4k.

Well i dont think Lockhart will be available at the XSX launch, i think it will come later, a few months or a year. If Microsoft are real serious about next gen, and i mean REAL serious, they could go $400 for XSX and $200-250 for Lockhart.TBH. This only makes sense if you are trying to sandwich your competition. If Lockhart was real, Sony and MS would have announced the pricing. Sony initially tried to sell two versions of PS3. Guess which one sold better (much better). If SeriesX is same or cheaper than PS5 why would you want to take on the additional risks of having two consoles on the release?
Edit: If MS comes out with two SKU's they will probably be variations of HD space and/or disk/diskless.
A Lockhart launch 1 year later would be unprecedented. But it is more realistic now that we still haven't head a word about the damn thing.Well i dont think Lockhart will be available at the XSX launch, i think it will come later, a few months or a year.

Well i just think we would have had more concrete details by now if it was coming at launch with XSX. Not a load of Twitter rumours that we have had so far. You may be right and it doesnt come at all, but i just cant see why they would discontinue the OneX and diskless XB1 if it wasnt cming at all.A Lockhart launch 1 year later would be unprecedented.

Yes it started last year if I'm not mistaken. And from what I remember you can easily upgrade to the Series X.Hmm with Xbox All Access. Was this always available in your country? Thought this was a US only thing
Of course I believe it’s coming soon. At this point I think the Xbox division has lost any reason behind their strategy.Do you really think Lockhart is still happening?
Because if preorder is happening soon, that means Xbox has basically ran out of time to reveal the thing.
Oof sweet, hope they'll do something similar in Europe (outside of the UK)Yes it started last year if I'm not mistaken. And from what I remember you can easily upgrade to the Series X.

I think xbox will launch sooner than we think, i expect an apple style one more thing and launch it with in a week at some point. I am thinking September

Well they manufacture these things quick, the design has been locked for a good while now. We did see the digital foundry breakdown of the parts so i would be fairly confident they could have it rolled out by end of September if they wish toYeah there was some discussion about this a while back. Initially it was in plans to release in August before that changed. I really wonder if they can pull off September.

They will always have something to show. The only downside to launching in September would be no series X games would launch along side it i guess.Yeah I like this idea. I don't know if Xbox has anything else to show. Supposedly they do.
They are still selling the One S and that can remain as their low entry gamepass platform. I agree though, I think they will likely release Lockhart when supply is greater than demand for the Series X and they need next gen only games begin to show.I dont think they would of discontinued the OneX and diskless XB1 if Lockhart wasnt happening. I wouldnt be surprised if Lockhart comes a bit later, but i'm certain its happening.

I think Sony's marketshare is just too big, and unless they massively screw up I don't see that changing.The world's most powerful console at $399 with free online? I think they'll be neck and neck with Sony in the US & UK.
But all their moves the last few years shows they're not too interested in taking market share from Sony (which business wise is a smart move)
