It's never been so over.
have you guys actually ever met anyone that owns an xbox series x?
>>722559910Aaaaaah, so the price hike was just a preemptive bump so they could just squeeze a little more revenue(not even profit) from the clearance sales
>>722559910Call me when it's 100 bucks and maybe I'll consider it.
Can GTA 6 save this?
>>722559974i had one for about 3 years but traded it at a pawn shop for some silver coins.
>>722560080Allegedly they've stopped manufacturing consoles. You won't be able to buy one with GTA 6.
>>722560169But that would only make the Xbox price spike, as GTA 6 is a timed console exclusive again.
>>722559910>raise price of xbox>sells so poorly that it goes on clearance
>>722559974A lot of normie gamers do. I have a friend who refuses to get a PC because he has an xbox
>>722560226Yeah but they probably won’t even be on the market when gta 6 comes out. Ps5 is going to eat good
>>722559974I don't, but it still sold better than Gamecube and Wii U
>>722559910I kind of want one just for original xbox crap. That and maybe sonic unleashed.
>>722559910hoooold
>mfw when indian nepo problem solves itself via bankruptcy
>>722560614Aren't jeets the main viewership of vtubers?
>>722559910The series x is 5 years old at this point. Honestly, that's long enough for a console.
>>722559974That window of time 5 years ago when scalpers hoarded the PS5, crypto niggers ade GPU prices incredibly retarded and Halo Infinite beta was deceivingly good sold a good amount of them since in that brief moment the Xbaws Shit | Piss looked like a good idea.Now I realize they went an entire gen without a new single Gears of War game.Literally NO GAEMS.
>>722560641As someone who's gone to japan many times recently you wouldn't know it. There's an unspoken rule to speak only in nip to an indian clerk. I had one get so mad and started shouting, YOU ARE NOT JAPANESE, SAAAR SPEAK ENGLISH, HELLO!. Because they just can't learn the language. It's funny, yet sad.Here's hoping the new lady actually goes through with her plans on going back to abe era immigration. At the very least the "indian-japan high school/college prep" school is being re-evaluated which is a nice way to say cancelled.
>>722560658That's the thing, the console is nearing EOL but the next one isn't even in the concept phase yet. Writing is on the wall.If they go the way of Sega then the next thing to watch is where all the hardware people go once they're out of a job. Last time they went from Sega of America to Microsoft and helped make the Xbox. Xbox shat the bed overall but the consoles themselves are quite well-made.
>>722559910Fuck I wish I was at the states
>>722560529>I kind of want one just for original xbox crap. That and maybe sonic unleashed.You are too late fucko.Unleashed is also on PC, one of those what do they call them, um, yes decompiled versions which is better than the console version.The Xbox store for ONE and X|S does not have the full catalogue of the Xbox 360.Damn, I realize they will be shutting down the store.So many stolen games when they go out like Blue Dragon and Burnout 3, the best version of Ninja Gaiden Black.Oh well.
>>722559974I don't meet people.
>>722560941I see. I have a jtag 360 and a ps3 modded for games already. I prefer to console game and only play older things. It'd be nice just to use my disc to play in 4k. The decompile thing sounds nice though.
>>722560641Pretty sure it's SEA
>>722560941You know you can hack a 360 with a USB now right?
Wonder how much the ps6 is going to cost now.
>>722559910>didn't sell it when I had the chanceGrim
>>722561213$1200 like the PS3 back in the day. $1500 if you really want to fuck the poors into the dirt.
>>722559910This is fucking insane.We're witnessing gaming history.
>>722561213I was gonna say with no competition they could easily price it $700, then I looked up the PS5 pro and it's $750 right now, what the fuck lmaoYeah we're getting the first four-digit price console next gen 100%
>>722561350Wait until you see how much pc parts cost
consoles are finethey do what they doif price bad people move to pcif price good then good
>bread and circuses going to shit in real time>low quality luxuries heading the way of the Dodo>broccoli heads losing their shit in the streets>wages stagnant>war soonStarting to notice a pattern here
>>722561432They're a better value than consoles, easily You can build a system that's comparable in power for roughly the same price.
>>722560118>silver coinswere you trying to hunt a Jewish werewolf?
>>722561432Well yeah, but consoles charge a monthly subscription for use. even the most basic version of PS+ just to use your own internet costs $18 a month. The point of a console is to be cheap up-front and draw consumers in to make them pay over time, reaping value through fees and other locked-down shit like peripherals, store fees/MTX, etc. PC OEMs make all their money up-front (unless you count nvidia cloud gaming shit I guess)That's what makes the price hikes worrying for consoles, their whole use-case is a low bar to entry. If they're turning the screws this hard on new users, then they must really be in bad shape vs. other forms of entertainment they're competing with.
>>722561562What about Windows 11 and how retarded the sars running it have been? Paying a few thousand on a new gaming rig just to have it bricked by a wild update doesn't sound like a recipe for a good time.
>>722561510>>722561562People will just move to mobile and gacha.
>>722559974My brother does. He's really devoted to the Xbox brand. I don't know why.
>>722561631Better to have solid mint over paper currency at this point desu. At least gold and silver will always remain consistent. Paper dosh won't even be good enough for toilet paper and your social credits will be revoked long before you can even say oy vey.
>>722561653Unfortunately this is the most likely outcome. Console users generally do not want to research "The best way to play games" and just want to download the game and play without checking any wikis. PC gaming tends to involve troubleshooting and some (most) people have very little patience for it.>Capcha: 2JANY
>>722559974I jumped ship after 360 but I'm thinking about getting a Series S for emulation when it drops around $150.
>>722561653The mobile audience is unrelated to "premium" gaming that happens on consoles and PCs. The fact that some people play gacha games on a PC or a console is a footnote, and happens purely because they already happened to own said device.That's the thing, consoles are supposed to be cheap to get you to buy them, then use them for everything because you already own it, and the console maker gets their money back in fees from your usage. e.g. Gachaslop player buys gacha currency through PS' store, PS makes money. Instead everyone wants to be like Apple and charge luxury prices, but it turns out xboxes and playstations are not indispensable goods like a smartphone is. You can simply not have a console. Whereas not having a phone is retarded.
>>722559974I myself owned the first Xbox. Played Halo 2, Crimson Skies and NG Black on it. Never went with another Xbox after it and became a full on PC player.
>$650 to $280 in just dayssignificant if verifiable
>>722559974Yeah me and it's been collecting dust ever since I ditched those money grubbing faggots for the mustard race. I doubt GTA6 is going to be releasing on this piece of shit the way these morons are going about it.
>>722561636That’s not true at all. The cheapest version of psn is 80 dollars a year>>722561562Try doing it for 499.
>Meanwhile Pajeetsoft saying its all baseless rumors
>>7225599741 guy, and he's a dindu that knocked up 4 white girls, and bitches he can't see his kids because he won't pay child support.
>>722561984>there are people that still fall for this song and danceTo call them people at this point would be a truckload of porkies.
>>722561984As a corporation you deny that shit until the very last moment.
>>722559974I never met anyone who knows the name of the current gen Microsoft console.
>>722562076I never met anyone who thought their retarded naming convention was a good idea. Someone got paid good money to spit that stupid bullshit onto a piece of paper with the accompanying wax stamp.
>>722559910If that genuinely is on clearance and the other things burger anons have said, that other big shop in burgerville has stopped selling them, well burgerland is xbox one and only market.If they have stopped selling them there, they are defo going under and out.
>price drops after 5 yearswtf
>>722562435PS5 is literally more expensive than it was on release.
>>722562435Prices don't drop anymore. I just bought manure the other day and only got a good deal because the manager did a 2-for-1 on clearance. Even LITERAL SHIT doesn't drop in price unless they're trying to get rid of it right this second for shelf space.
>>722562701The absolute fucking state
>>722559974I own one. I regret it even more than my PS3.
>>722560226imagine making game for dead console
>>722562928The ps5 is alive though to be fair. The Xbox will just provide a lot of gta 6 sales even with the units out there as it is
>>722561984Sega said they're staying in the console market 1 week before they announced they're quitting
>>722559910not even for $200 they can get rid of it and MS think it will sell for $700. lmao
Phil Spencer could literally knock on my front door and hand me a free Xbox console and I would still leave it on the curb and wash my hands because I wouldn't want to catch anything
>>722560304>raises the gamepass price so it's even less appealing to buy in and people are pulling out on record speedWhat is their game plan
>>722563489The order came from the top that Xbox as a console is ending, so that they can focus entirely on the Everything Is An Xbox angle. Game Pass needs to prove that it can sustain itself without any of the traditional console revenue. Meanwhile, they will deny that the ending is coming until they absolutely have to disclose it during an investor's meeting.Retailers are dumping stock probably because they received notification that "future orders for Xbox products are indefinitely suspended" and someone in their team was wise enough to understand what it meant.
>>722563489When the harvest is poor, you eat the seed corn.
similar clearance sales happened at big stores a few years ago when phil spencer said during the activision merger that they would no longer make exclusive games.i think some stores just tap out every time there's a big wave of negativity like the current one over the game pass price hike (lol). consoles aren't endind production yet.
>>722559974my uncle, he owns a series x and only plays stuff that's on gamepass, he used to be a gears of war dudebro but now plays only fortnite
>>722562842Why? Get one, I mean.
I haven't had a Sams Club here in 8 years
>>722563489Banking on slurpers still subbing for game pass even with the price hike because they fell for the best value in gaming meme instead of buying games on steam.
>>722560529>sonic unleashedYou can literally play that for free right now on PC with improved graphics, actually stable framerates, and an option to remove the gay battle music. How are you interesting in unleashed and not know about the decomp
>>722563743>consoles aren't endind production yetI can see why people would still believe this. I mean, looking at the numbers, output, public opinion....it looked like Xbox was ready to pull the plug at any moment between now and halfay into the XBOne's lifespan. People have been saying IT'S FUCKING OGRE for so long that it's basically entirely meaningless. Why would the boy crying wolf actually be a wolf this time?I mean, it's entirely possible that Microsoft will continue to fund the Xbox division and we'll get to see a Gen 10 Xbox console with an even sillier name and it will continue to sell like shit. Companies like Microsoft are too big to fail, they can just keep paying the cost purely for the market presence, even if their actual market share is less than 10%.>>722562842>>722563851NTA but personally, I almost bought an Xbox One back in the day because I was actually excited to play Scalebound. I don't care that it looked stupid, it looked like the fun type of stupid. I'm so glad I decided that I liked weeb games instead, I could even enjoy them for a short while before Sony passed around the censorship mandate.
>>722561757I'm curious why you preppers think silver would matter if fiat collapses.Let's say I have like a hundred lobsters and you are incapable of taking one by force. You want a lobster, you offer me, a lobster guy, useless silver coins for it and I say no thanks.Now what the fuck do you do with the silver? look at it while you starve to death? Instead of hoarding silver you should hoard shit you can trade like medicine or cigarettes
>>722559974I've got oneThere was like a 3 year period where you could abuse regional pricing to get games and gamepads dirt cheap.MS closed the last of the workarounds recently so this shit is now a paperweight
>>722563489Game Pass IS the console now. That's why they raised the price. The whole "Everything is an Xbox" campaign is to get people used to the idea that Game Pass is the way to go, that having a specific Xbox console isn't needed to play Xbox games. This is why they want Game Pass on Switch 2 & PS5, so they have a "Console" inside the competition's console.This is why they are also going All In on the ROG Ally X, because it's just a Windows PC Handheld.
>>722564094Yes you should buy crypto and invest in the stock market
>>722564094Preppers think society will collapse but not that it will collapse so far to the point where the basic rules of commerce will cease to be valid. Meaning that, in the future that they are expecting, humanity will still have a need for valuable materials like silver and gold.Alternatively, even if you're not a prepper, rare metals are about the safest thing you can invest in. Those things do not fluctuate in price and consistently go up. They are also very easy to understand and trade. There's also the benefit that you can actually buy and store it in your own home. It's also untraceable. Lots of benefits.
>>722564094FIAT Won't collapse. It's the big game the tribe has been playing on us and how it controls the world.However, their numbered paper is utterly worthless and get worth less each day.Gold are stocks for retards to hedge a little bit against the games they are playing on us.
>>722559910can you install linux/steamos on the series x?
>>722559974Cousins a devote Xbox fag since the original. He has been seething over the news. All the issues he has had with the XseX (random games simply don't work in multiplayer) should have clued him in its beyond fucked
>>722564267You should tell these mulattos to buy crypto
>>722564267Well then they should read that blog post about the collapse of yugoslavia and the following SHTF scenario survived by the author. People traded chocolates, liquor, tobacco, medical supplies, and cigarette lighters, toilet paper, clean water.Literally nobody will want silver during any kind of turmoil.
>>722564317Like all Xboxs since the 360, you can purchase a Dev Mode permission to install whatever you want. It's like $10 to install emulators and homebrew and shit on Xbox.
>>722564295I know it won't. Even if the jews were gone fiat is too flexible and everything is too reliant on it now. To change to a new global monetary system would take a hundred years, or an apocalypse.
>>722564317you can install anything that is a UWP in dev mode, someone tried to compile their own shit in UWP, but they abandoned it. xbox had lots of freedom but no incentive for devs to give two shits. the most you can do is windows XP at the moment.https://github.com/Empyreal96/x86Emulator-UWP
>>722559910>wait til it's dirt cheap>buy rectangle box>jailbreak>watch MS burn as I play Doritos Crash Course on my modded rectangle
>>722559974the only Xbox user I know still uses an Xbox 360.
>>722564420Buy canned food and crypto
>>722559974My normalfag friend to play Minecraft and COD even though he just bought a gaming PC?
I got a Xbox One S All Digital for 99€ with some Fortnite Vbucks, Rocket League and Sea of Thieves. My PC was pretty shit at the time so it helped me survive the confinement. The only game I bought for it was Mortal Kombat 11, but thanks to it I was able to discover Ninja Gaiden 2 and play some retrocompatible games with Gold :D
>>722564492>or an apocalypse.The browning of the world ensures this to happen in the next 1000 years at best.I wish I could see the future. I'm so curious how this will play out. How far back will it all go? The middle ages? The copper age? The stone age?Gaming rigs, best games, minecraft god game.
>>722559974Yes, multipleI've never met someone with a ps5
>>722559974I own one. I got one when scalping was so bad you got put on a wait list and had to be emailed when your opportunity to buy one came. I still use it pretty frequently, but it's best use is playing my 360 games at higher resolutions and streaming games to my phone. I barely even use Game Pass. I used to be an idort who bought every console every generation but Series X was my last console purchase and I don't foresee ever buying a new one. Never bought a PS5, which paid off since all of its exclusives just got ported anyway, and Switch 2 seems too pointless of an "upgrade" to retire my Switch. PC won the console wars by simply not completely committing suicide.
>>722559910Without competition Sony will become even shittier now, It will accelerate the demise of the console market.In the end there will be only Nintendo slowly becoming more decadent and more retarded.
>>722559974I think we all own series s instead, wish it had the disk drive. They effectively killed the physical scene by not including it in the version everyone bought
>>722564407Crypto is kind of the opposite. You have to believe that the system will remain and function for it to make sense to you.>>722564420Falling back onto bartering is only the most immediate response. If you can weather that part, the next thing humans will want will be something that is easy to trade, hard to obtain and has intrinsic value, to make continued trade easier.Humanity solved that problem thousands of years ago. Rare metals.
>>722560831>box shat the bed overall but the consoles themselves are quite well-made.RROD?
>>722564906Exactly, money printer solves all problems crowd deserve crypto
>>722563851I already had gamepass for my pc and i never owned an xbox so i was thinking about playing all the old xbox games i never got to play and also playing some of my gamepass games on my couch. In the end i just play everything on my pc anyways and with the recent price increase i'm also not gonna be subbed to gamepass a lot longer.
>>722562842Why? I love the games since I was a 360 kid. The performance is impressive. Also dev license turns it into a very cool emulation box. Pretty much the only way to get friends to play an emulation game together.
>>722564906>the system will remainIf by the system you mean the internet. >Rare metals.And how am I going to check if your shiny rock is real gold or not without "the system"?
>>722564847Even on the x, the drive only reads 50GB discs and basically any AAA game is larger than that so they were already at the game key card phase. I have a series x and gave up physical when even Elden Ring and Stranger of Paradise weren't on the disc.Sony will be in the same position next gen when games routinely go over 100GB, which is probably why they're planning on selling a disc drive separately just to get access to old stuff you already own.
>>722564094The simple answer is they were successfully marketed to. There's a reason boomer TV is jam-packed with ads to buy/sell gold. They trick financially secure people into converting their real, useful money into useless metal that sits around doing nothing. Then they charge desperate poor people a fee to convert their jewelry etc. into collateral for loans. Moving value from one place to another and taking a cut, that's what merchants do.
>>722565171The system relies a lot on the internet, yes.>how do you know?You can confirm if something is made of metal in a lot of different ways. You don't need to ask ChatGPT everything you idiot, you should have learned this at school.
>>722565361>You can confirm if something is made of metal in a lot of different waysSuch as? How do I figure out if the gold you're giving me is real or if it's a realistic fake? We're much better now at faking gold/silver than we were in Ancient flipping Egypt when people were trading gold without having to double check it. That's what makes it unfeasible in an apocalyptic scenario today. That fake gold isn't just going to go away because the civ collapsed
>>722565143I mainly play on PC. Initially i tough i would enjoy playing some of my Gamepass games on the couch more but in the end i just play everything on my PC anyway.

>>722563489Cloud gaming
when internet connectivity inevitably dies for this consolewhat could it be used for offline?
>>722565620Nothing you couldn't use a PC for, for less money, without the locked down OS. The sad truth of every home console made after the Wii.
>>722565620shit needs internet connection to verify, they need to keep servers forever or else we sue
>>722563489Line go up, shareholders demand. All corpos must bow to shareholder demands, no matter how big and monopolizing, so long as they are publicly traded.
>>722562019i will now buy your console
>>722565729they'll just patch your consoles to not require servers, give you a chance to download and save your games to your own HDDs that you'll pay for and shut down, they don't really care about you even this little
>>722566481>they'll just patch your consoles to not require serversnot possible for all the consoles that are being sold. So people would be buying bricks
>>722560831I hope they go the way of sega, and pc gaming returns to numbers as the standard for controller input (or the nintendo style returns to being the 'standard' rather than xbox's cut sega layout).
>>722559974My friend has one. He's had every Xbox since the original so I guess he just doesn't feel like changing at all.
>>722565246>want to play game>dont have it>look up physical copy>it's still going for 70 euros after 4 years!!!!>insanity>go on local second hand website>find physical game>10km from my place>it's 15 euros>get it down to 10 eurosI won.
>>722565807>BlackRock demandftfyActual private shareholders get the ass end like everyone else
>>722566596what game
>>722560080the ONLY way it could if GTA 6 was on gamepass if not fuck no lmao
>>722559974I can never tell which one is the latest xbox console
>>722566596The only appeal of a console to me. I regularly buy/sell/trade games with people, while I sit on my Steam with 600+ games that I can shove up my ass or gift to someone because they are locked to my account and after I'm done with them I can't do anything else with them anymore. I haven't played a single Steam game in years, and most of my favorites are now pachinko parlors with loot boxes and other zoomer mechanics.
>>722566695Any game, really. They are all eternally stuck on 60-70 euros because NPCs buy digital copies. So now even physical ones stay there and don't move ever.My last game was Dark Souls 1 Remastered.Motherfuckers are asking 60 euros for a 14 year old game!>i-it's remasteredI don't care.>>722566790Yeah, it's kinda sad how PC don't have disc drives anymore.
>>722561653Sadly this. Mobile gaming especially gacha are fucking eating Consoles alive PC gaming will always have the niche of having shit like Factorio and Rimworld on it but the reason for owning a console dwindles each day
>>722561948>650 dollars for a consoleI would rather spend it on drugs and then flush them down the toilet in the hopes of saving some junkie from ODing
>>722565246Aren't there already a couple of PS5 games that aren't fully on disc? I still can't believe they discontinued the PS5 with the disc drive included. I couldn't imagine buying any console that's digital only.
>>722567021more PS5 games are on disc than Xbox
>>722559974I'm Russian and consoles here were always much less popular than PC. And even for those hipsters who choose consoles Playstation was always the way to go. That being said there was actually a brief period of time in the late 00's when Xbox 360 became pretty popular among certain audience thanks to it being jailbroken before PS3. So a bunch of teenagers bought 360, were constantly burning their own DVDs and formed community around 360. Later some of them pursuing online multiplayer moved away from piracy and start buying games. You'd be surprised considering how Xbox One generation went, but some of those people are still "team Xbox". I myself moved to PC and Switch 2 these days, but I see people in my friendlist play on Series X. But yes, all of them are driven by nostalgia of those 360 days, they just refuse to move on.
>>722567021It's a total of 63 games, and most of them are 2K sports games and online multiplayer games. By "not fully on disc" I assume you mean that it's mandatory to have an online connection to even start the game, despite the fact that it is "mostly" on disc. For instance you need a patch to play The Plucky Squire, otherwise you can't progress past a certain point. Balatro is so full of bugs you can't reliably play it without a patch. Hogwarts Legacy needs a 40GB patch, otherwise you can't get past the tutorial. So while you could chalk up most of the single player games needing an online connection due to developer incompetence, you do get the shaft in the end. Majority of games do not have this problem, though, and you need to have a at least a try in making a playable game on disc if you want your game to have a physical copy for the PS5. Not a single box was just a code like for PC and Xbox.
>>722567504why did you buy switch 2 when nintendo left your country. You are supporting the people that hate you
link to store that has them on clearance to buy online?
>>722560226>>722560484There's also the matter that plenty who already own an XSex will buy a PS5 just so they have more people to play online with.
>>722567504Russia always preferred PCs because you never spent money on games anyway, and its easier to pirate for PC
>>722567632gaming is universalif devs put out a game it's for everyone to play not an exclusionary political game
>>722567632Nobody really give that much of a shit. Most people will jump through flaming hoops to punch money into corpos face regardless of their stance on russia.
>>722567623>Microsoft rushes killing the XBox so Stop Killing Games won't affect a large amount of their gamesI can see it
where can i buy one right now online? i only see regular prices. is this an instore only thing?
>>722560641>>722561030Pretty sure it's the Japanese
>>722559910Is there anything interesting that can be done with them? Can they play previous gen games that aren't available anywhere else?
>>722568032It's by store in store. I went to my local Sam's and it was long gone. Already setting up for the Ally X release with preorders.
>>722560492That's not really a high bar, anon>>722564670>PS5 mention out of nowhereHoly rentfree
How long until they close their store and i lose access to my games?
>>722568346Not any time soon. They'll be using Game Pass from now on as their service.
>>722560641no it's Indonesians (fun fact the name basically means sea jeet)
>>722568342I just found that funny considering I know it sold much betterPersonally I have neither
>>722566596thisthey just want to destroy the secondhand market because THEY dont get any sales from it. R&D could very easily (if they havent already) make some 1tb read/write disc that holds all content off the game and downloads onto it any patches or DLC. i can easily pick up secondhand new games already 10-20 bucks cheaper a DAY after release, a month later theyre usually already at half.
>>722568346See >>722568409Xbox is not going away, neither is Microsoft's gaming division. They'll just stop making consoles, but you'll still be able to run games on other devices.
>>722567632Everyone left our country: Xbox, Playstation, Steam too. And I don't support my country either, everyone in the government who's making decisions should go to frontlines themselves and die there as far as I'm concerned. But answering your question, I bought the Switch precisely for the reason it supports physical copies. Cartridges don't give a fuck where my physical location is. They just work.
>meanwhile the Xbox is still 1000$ in my 3rd world countryUS niggers don't know how good they have it
>>722569103whenever i see a cyrillic username on my team i start rambling about SMO, ukraine, putin and WWII to try and see what sticks so I can hear them sperg out on the mic
>>722569632The nerve of a fucking ROMANI to call anyone a nigger.You are below even Irish. Even English. The pajeets of Europe.
It's a shame, the XSX is an impressive piece of hardware for the price point. All they needed to do was release good games, but that's been beyond Microsoft since 2012.
>>722559974My idiot brother who buys the dumbest shit all the time with money I can't explain since he's been unemployed for ages
>>722564094gold/silver horders arent hording the silver to pay for stuff during 'the collapse' (these sorts of people have their own bunkers and stuff), the gold and silver is to prepare for the collapse ending and civilisation returning, then they have money on the other side of history
>>722569103Sorry you gotta deal with your shit-ass country russiabro. I've played a lot of milsim games so through exposure I think most of you are gigantic cock smoking faggots with gigantic glass egos, but if they're not that they're real cool guys, you seem like the second type so I hope you make it out of this whole kerfuffle unscathed.
>>722559974My older brother had one so he could keep playing certain games with his online friends. Finally convinced him to switch to PC since said games have crossplay and he ended up selling the thing.I ended up with a Series S because one of my friends moved out of the country and just gave it to me for free since he didn't really use it. Same for me, only thing I really did with it was play some Xbox Classics and College Football. Sold it after I moved out of the country myself.Shame to see the state of the console, I was a big Xboxfag during the Original and 360 days and then it just fell off a cliff.
I still don't understand what the xbox generations are past One. I still have no idea what an xbox s or series x even are. Are they two generations or is one a different model of the same basic thing?
>>722559974I have one. Bought it is a backwards compatibility box/shit PC port player for the TV.
>>722571291It's retarded but when it launched it made sense. The Series X was the flagship with a disc drive, the Series S was a 1440p budget console without the disc drive. But it was retarded because people confused it with the Xbox One S(lim) and the Xbox One X. Now I legitimately have no idea what the difference in models is, because they have the big version of the console without a disc drive. Is it the Series S but scaled to the Series X so you don't have to have 2 different production lines? Is it a Series X without a disc drive? Can you still buy the Series X with a disc drive? Can you still buy a Series S? I have no fucking clue what is going on over there.
>>722571779They still have Series S vs Series X to differentiate power levels. It's just the cheaper new Series X is Series X all digital.
>>722559910cheap series x just might be worth it IF you really can't wait to play GTA VI on PC. other than that i guess it's a good 4k blu-ray player??
Microsoft is likely to downplay or deny any plans for Xbox to exit the market to avoid negative reactions from investors, while carefully managing communications to comply with SEC disclosure requirements.
xbros. it was an honor.
>>722559910I bet no clearance price for the peripherals (elite controllers), still full price if not still price increased even.
Kill and maim twitter screencap posters.
>>722559910I just know Nintendo is behind this somehow.
>>722564974Iirc thats because they were rushed in production or they had to use an inferior part due to some reason?Actually I don't think I remember the reason at all
>>722559974My cousin. He's a gamepass junkie who only plays like an hour or 2 of a game and then moves onto another. He also loves AI slop and NFTs fwiw.
>>722559974My friend, but he also had an Xbox One and Xbox 360I've never owned any Xbox, but I find the first one particularly fascinating, there are some region-locked Japanese games I'm interested in. But the brand is mostly dead outside America.

This isnt bad if you just want to play GTA6 while they work on the PC port
>>722559910That price for a Series X is a fucking steal if you don't have a powerful PC. Its an emulation powerhouse, theres lots of Xbox games that cant be emulated that you can play on that in 4k 60fps. Also runs PCSX2 flawlessly in 4k.I bought one in Covid when my gaming PC died and I couldnt afford the crazy PC prices. Didnt ever regret my purchase and played a fuck ton of PS2 games and OG Xbox games on it and had tons of fun. The emulated port of Gears of War 2 looks absolutely phenomenal and runs in 60 fps
>>722560042It’s not the 00s anymore.
>>722561550How many more weeks? Two?
>>722579652Oh shit srsly? I knew you could hook up a keyboard and mouse but not all that
>>722579467>buy in would be a $280 console and what's likely to be a $100 retail priced game for a total of $380+tax for a single GTAI will never understand the obsession with this series. I got GTAV for $10 during a steam sale and played for maybe 5 hours before uninstalling.
>>722579897Xbox Dev mode is completely free now. You just put the Series X in dev mode, download emulator apps, then upload them over your IP address. Then you just keep your roms in a external SSD and game away. Then just boot back into normal to play 360 and OG Xbox games
>>722579203Whatever you say, Cletus-JaTavious del Hiropo de Maiz
>>722561956me but with my ps5. Seriously haven't turned this pos on in a year. Everyday I hope sony raises the price of the ps5 so I can sell it online for more money than what people are currently offering me
>Whatever you say, Cletus-JaTavious del Hiropo de Maiz
this is great for GTA 6 bros. they get a cheap ass console right before launch.
>>722559974I have…Original360OneSeries SAll used and cheap. It really went downhill after the 360 NXE update.
>>722559910>stores are taking a loss to clear this shit out of their inventorylmao
I bet in 5 years everyone is talking how series was a hidden gem or something gay like that.
>console playing normie neighbor wants me to build him a pc next monthHahahaha and more to follow!
>>722582958For pay, right?
>>722583002Maybe like $50 if he doesn't want to help and learn, free if he brings beer and helps.
>>722559974I bought one back before I upgraded my 1080 PC because the series X unironically ran games better at the time but now that I have a 4070 super its juat gathering dust.
>>722583168That's fair, at least he's not a "lawn mower" borrower.
>>722559974I have a cousin who owns a Series X and mostly plays COD/NBA with the concessional Fromsoft or DBZ game, I knew it was over for the Xbox brand when even he bought a PC a couple years ago.
>>722584000*occasionalno idea how I typed concessional
