People actually believe this will be $499?

Lol

 

[Mooreberg]

Is that a deliberate misdirection?

No, I was in the wrong week on Google Calendar. My bad.

 

[AlexFlame116]

If it's $399, it's $399. If it's $499, it's $499.

That's how it is for me.

And who is this?

 

[nekkid]

If it's $499, anger at the price.

If it's $399, anger at the tactics.

*Kissing of teeth*

If they just rehearsed with a different price, then that's up to them. Nobody can honestly cry foul that they misled anybody by using a number which was meant to be behind closed doors.

 

[Tahnit]

yeah i already have a pc that blows scorpio out of the water. And all their games are on both so...no.

 

[Bergerac]

I can't find the Punished Keighley pic anymore. Would someone be so kind and link it for me?

It's at the top of page 68.

 

[Raitosaito]

I actually think this price is reasonable....

 

[Huge Succeeded]

People actually believe this will be $499?

Lol

People actually believe otherwise?

 

[friskykillface]

$499 standard
$399 with Xbox one s trade in

Both huge rip offs ;p

I wanted $399

 

[Mediking]

I... I....

....


$399.00

 

[Ninja Scooter]

At the end of the day, people bought PS3's for $599 and Xbox Ones for $499. If the price is $499 I'm sure it will still do fine. The hardcore it is aimed at will still be on board.

Maybe $499 is the early adopter model like the Xbox S launch.

Look a little deeper at those two examples if you think it will do "fine". Both PS3 and XboxOne struggled mightily at those price points.

 

[EventHorizon]

If it's $499, anger at the price.

If it's $399, anger at the tactics.

*Kissing of teeth*

What if it's $449?
1) Confused anger?
2) Reluctant acceptance?

 

[DangerMouse]

Can we get Geoff under oath that Scorpio will be $499?

ROFL!

 

[Alebrije]

 

[Pastry]

Are there actually people that think this isn't a controlled leak by MS? They wanted to get the price out of the way for GAF, they just didn't account for the mass levels of delusion.

 

[Hoo-doo]

And who is this?

Patrick from GiantBomb, Polygon and Waypoint fame.

 

[Septic360]

Lmao!

[ShadowKingpin]

Guys, the price is $499 and that is what has been rehearsed.

Ouch.

 

[Bucca]

Just you wait and see

quoting this post for possible crow eating

 

[Sheroking]

That's like fucking 600 Canadian, goddamn. I'll still buy it

More like $675.

 

[Agnostic Priest]

His most recent tweet about Scorpio says "We will talk about Scorpio price rumors at the top of #YouTubeE3"

I don't believe it's going to be $499.

 

[Bergerac]

If they just rehearsed with a different price, then that's up to them. Nobody can honestly cry foul that they misled anybody by using a number which was meant to be behind closed doors.

But if they are that concerned about it why are they even using a placeholder for the price in the first place?

They can't do a rehearsal with a blank space? Like they don't know?

DESTINY 2 XBOX ONE VERSION CANCELLED BY MICROSOFT!

 

[Disxo]

Loool, this will be like 1200 here hahha

 

[Goose_Se7en]

Wtf lol

 

[Vitor711]

And who is this?

An excellent reporter who's broken numerous major stories before. He's legit.

Maybe multiple skus?

 

[zackmorris]

Im curious what people expected. This is like when people wanted the Switch to cost 199. Yeah, 299 for the scorpio would be great, but at the same time people need to be a little realistic. If this is capable of what they claim then it isn't cheap to make. Selling it at a loss makes very little sense for them as far as Im concerned.

Not that I think it will great at that price point, I think it could find a place in the market as an "elite" gaming console.

 

[Alucrid]

If it's $499, anger at the price.

If it's $399, anger at the tactics.

*Kissing of teeth*

do you mean gnashing?

 

[mave198]

LMAO this E3 is going to be GLORIOUS with all the incoming meltdowns and associated gifs.

Let's go

 

[gatti-man]

Good god Microsoft should have started this show at 3pm. We've got 2 more hours of fuck shit to go.

I love it.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Wonder if this will translate 1:1 for £500 or if it will be £500+

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

And who is this?

Co-Captain of the Press Sneak Fuck team

 

[nekkid]

But if they are that concerned about it why are they even using a placeholder for the price in the first place?

You're proving my point. What would it matter to you what they use to practice their rehearsals? That's up to them, nobody else.

On a side note, CEO Kaz Hirai is doing it again lmao

Luke smith of destiny:

Interesting

 

[Hydrus]

Goddammit these gifs are killing me lol

 

[Aomber]

This is really interesting reading this thread, because I thought the whole point of console gaming wasn't necessarily to get the very best graphics, I mean everyone knows that's what PC gaming is for. I guess these corporations figured out a lot of people still weren't comfortable messing around with PC's, because people are clearly willing to spend hundreds of dollars to buy a console twice for a slight graphics upgrade.

EDIT: This is on the basis/assumption that this is just an Xbox One upgrade, not a new gen.

 

[JobenNC]

What if this goes even deeper, and this has all been a front for a surprise Zune relaunch?

 

[gamz]

LMAO this E3 is going to be GLORIOUS with all the incoming meltdowns and associated gifs.

Let's go

LOL! It'll be epic has hell!

 

[jbug617]

And who is this?

Patrick Klepek. Reporter who worked for G4, Giantbomb, Kotaku and now Waypoint. Broke a lot of big stories. Last big one was probably about Neo.

 

[Marmaladefire]

This is what I expected. Sure, it's DOA in every Non-US country at this price, but so is the Xbox brand in general right now.

 

[Pancakes R Us]

Nice try Geoff, how much MS pay you to say that for shocking news micdrop omg $399?

Hah.

 

[KaiserBecks]

Now that I think about it, this seems like an intentional "leak" so the $400 price tag will be a WOAH OMG moment.

I don't think that's necessary given how many people here all of a sudden seem to be so sure that $399 would be such an unrealistic price tag.

 

[Slayer-33]

Watch it be $299 with a $399 top tier one lol.

 

[Insane Metal]

Guys, the price is $499 and that is what has been rehearsed.

Fuuuuuuuu----

Fucking GOLD

 

[tuco11]

Don't kid yourself if u think Microsoft doesn't want to be number one
console seller. Question: what was last console to be number one that
launched at $499? Thanks.
