Why is crappy spiderman telling someone to lawyer up?

Thats from the social network.

 

[Delpij]

As if an early price leak had anything to do with the short/mid/long term success of the machine. Crybabies.

 

[Van Bur3n]

Why is crappy spiderman telling someone to lawyer up?

It's from the film, The Social Network. Probably the best scene.

 

[Altairre]

Of course it's a rumour as long as it's not official. Holy shit the anger in this thread.

 

[fantomena]

That's why I said it could change, it's not official until it is announced. But based on what I've heard since I tweeted, they are rolling ahead with $499. Any price change would be very last minute, and no way, they trim $100 off.

Honestly given the tech in there I understand the $499. But open question on if the games/experience will justify that pricetag, we will see today.

I've also heard final name is in the Twitter poll I put up.

[Erimriv]

Pretty sure Phil, Penello, Mayor Nelson and the resto of the Xbox guys are closely monitoring this thread, 64 pages more than 3180 posts in threee hours. Backpedalling incoming...

 

[HubbaBubba]

If this was a "leak" to enhance $399 reaction, would have made more sense to me to leak $499 much earlier and then let people believe they listened to gamers and made it $399.

We have a system for you in Canada.

This is why it's a rumor folks, it's not official yet. There's no back pedaling, lol.

People are losing their minds.

 

[Hexa]

All of this feels really off to me. The only reason I feel this isn't a marketing stunt is that that would be really out of character for Geoff and I don't think he would do something like that. If it turns out to be a marketing stunt with it being $399 in the end I'll lose considerable respect for Geoff, but as it is I'll take him at his word and be really confused by why this would be leaked in such a way in the first place.

 

[KalBalboa]

Pro is the right price at $399, four years into the generation as a premium model.

$499 feels... hefty.

 

[AkimboChainz]

It wouldn't surprise me if Microsoft put $499 in rehearsal to avoid leaks like last year, but some of you need to calm down. Legal action lmao

 

[Chasetopher]

I hope Keighley posts the entire Xbox Conference schedule in about ten minutes.

DOA

Here you go.

Until its confirmed its still just rumour even if he does know for sure.

Pretty much. This is a legendary thread for sure.

Thr desperation for this to be false is remarkable.

I love how this keeps getting posted and the "likes" keeps getting way bigger.

 

[ZeoVGM]

I've lost all respect for Geoff. Also, I would t be surprised if this ended up in legal action.

Some very poor choices being made.

Embarrassing.

 

[Detective]

I hope Keighley posts the entire Xbox Conference schedule in about ten minutes.

Why?

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Sony will come out tomorrow and say "Two great consoles, great games, at affordable prices". And make MS look silly again. What happened to Xbox being the ones to show how it's done lol?

 

[Mrbob]

So I guess this is a purposefully controlled leak by MS then.

Say the price is $499, state it's from rehearsal, and then say let's talk about this rumor on my E3 show.

Well ok then.

 

[Azull]

Holy shit my sides.

 

[AfterTheFall]

Why is Geoff now saying "scorpio price rumours" when he was so confident about the price in his first tweet?

I don't know what to believe :O

 

[LukasTaves]

Geoff doesn't work for MS, or have strong personal feelings of attachment for them like you do.

He doesn't work for Ms but works with them, and many other publishers.

This isn't about personal feelings, it's about profissional credibility. If this is actually a leak he put a lot to lose. (In my opinion of course, I can't tell how every company will react)

They already justified the price by having a 1.8TF stronger gpu, 4 more gigs of ram, a UHD drive, and a faster hard drive.

For a potential $150 dollar upgrade if Sony slashes the Pro price. A $50 off on the Slim would also put pro at just a 150$ upgrade on top of that.

So, no Ms will have to do a lot more than just show some specs to make that price justifiable.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Maybe it comes with an improved elite controller? I would buy that up.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

That's not what people thought in the other thread.

What are you talking about? The Scorpio has been a known quantity for a long time. Being surprised by this price is, well, abdolutely goddamn ludicrous. I'm learning not to expect anything more from yall for fucks sake

 

[Dash_Riprock]

If this was a "leak" to enhance $399 reaction, would have made more sense to me to leak $499 much earlier and then let people believe they listened to gamers and made it $399.

You realize how big of an asshole MS would look if it did that?

 

[Shiggy]

With this petition we want Microsoft to take legal action against Geoff Keighley. Keighley leaked the price of an updated Xbox One, the all-in-one entertainment system, just hours before its official unveiling.

We also demand an official apology from Keighley and his sponsors.

[ThirstiestGamer 2.0]

if NDAs were involved Geoff wouldn't be leaking this. C'mon son.

Without an NDA, Geoff is under no obligation (especially not legal lmao) to keep MS secrets for them. Get real people.

This.

 

[Super Havoc]

Because as long is not official it will always be rumor/ expeculation.

Nah, it's him trying to save face or whatever little trust he has left if anything lol

You all are cracking me up btw acting as if true on the price point that it wasn't an unprofessional move by him having overheard it during rehearsals.

The price is fine with me as I expected that or more but stop trying to excuse that.

 

[MrBenchmark]

I've got $1000 set aside for 2. $399 would be great but $ 499 is ok for me I have spent far more on single PC parts.

 

[ZeoVGM]

That back pedal tho

How the fuck is it a rumour when he said that's what he was rehearsing? What the fuck, Geoff?

It's not officially announced, which makes it a rumor.

You guys are absolutely ridiculous.

Lol. I always thought it was Micheal C. Hall.. Ow stupid me

 

[MisterR]

Seems like a work. I doubt Geoff would leak anything cosidering his professional credibility would be ruined. It really feels like a swerve to make the $399 price even more appealing.

Doing actual reporting doesn't ruin your credibility, except with fanboys. Actually leaking the price now is doing MS a favor so people are prepared for it when it comes during the conference.

[brianmcdoogle]

So, Keighley got told a piece of information, and he passed it on, so if he's wrong, he's a marketing shill and if he's right he should be sued because he's spoiling the surprise?

We're rapidly approaching a meltdown along the lines of "Square just shot themselves in the foot" or "The age of Sony is done!" This is getting embarrassing.

 

[McMoneyman]

https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/sue-geoff-keighley

That's just sad, but that just proves that even the die-hard Xbox fans think the 499 price point is too much. If it was the price they were happy with, they wouldn't care about Geoff's leak lol.
