Why wouldn't they just leave the slide BLANK

You know like for some reason I never even thought of that, and it's killing me 😂😂😂😂😂

 

[ZeoVGM]

Uh, you see how easy this "leak" happened? That's all the reason you need for why they'd put the wrong number in the slide deck.

It's going to be less than $500.

Yes, that's correct.

It's going to be $499.99. I'm glad you agree.

 

[Elfstruck]

Didn't Geoff tweet that he is going to talk about price on his pre-show thing? It is kind of the elephant in the room right now, I am surprised he has not addressed/talked about it yet.

He did.

 

[scream]

Why wouldn't they just leave the slide BLANK

People talking about taking advantage of expectations still have to realize that at the end of the day the thing is still $499! Good luck with that

To make everyone shit themselves and then go HOLY SHIT 399 THATS A BARGAIN!.. (?)
Just a thought.

 

[oti]

So there are three options:

1) This was just a rehearsal, it's 499
2) IT'S ALL A SETUP MAN AND GEOFF IS PART OF IT 399 #WITNESSDAPOWA
3) IT'S ALL A SETUP MAN AND GEOFF IS NOT PART OF IT 399 #LUL #IBELIEVEINPHIL

He did, he confirmed it's going to be $499

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Me neither.

As tone deaf as they can be, anything more doesn't make a goddamned ounce of sense.

I mean it does. But OK.

 

[MisterXDTV]

That would be.. ouch. 500 is a lot for that hardware unless they are holding back and it also has an ssd or something. Gah.. why must it be so hard to get a 4k blue ray player console! Sony not supporting it in the pro and MS maybe coming late with an expensive option.

Would have jumped on the $200 One S Minecraft bundle deal a couple weeks ago.

Xbox is a poor UHD BD player. Buy a standalone and get better picture quality (Sony or Oppo)

Nuu

Yuuh?

People thought the PS4 Pro was going to be $500. It was heavily rumored and suggested, but when they announced it at $399, everyone was "blown away" and that rumor faded into obscurity. This is no different.

Very happy to eat crow, if I'm wrong Kev, but I'm a cynical old man and I know a work when I see one.

So MS just basically playing with themselves. When Sony did the 399 announcement, it was to on up MS. But now, who is MS trying to impress?

 

[ChrisInCali]

lol, post like these man, post like these.

lol @ my honest opinion as a consumer man, my honest opinion as a consumer.

 

[Bricky]

needs geoffs face instead of ledgers though

please fix that

Sure, if it would not be a bitch to edit and be irrelevant by the time it is done ;-)

 

[Hawk269]

He did, he confirmed it's going to be $499

I must of missed it. Sorry. Was messing with my gaming rig and for some reason could not handle the 4k stream, so switched to my laptop for the 1080p feed.

 

[Maxim726X]

I mean it does. But OK.

Really.

Okay, allow me to rephrase: I doesn't make any goddamn sense if you actually want to sell consoles.

Why would you release a console $100 more than your competitor, with virtually no library to sell it? That sounds intelligent to you?

 

[panda-zebra]

Sage is sat there right now with one of those t shirts on nursing a semi. lmao

Oh you **** I almost swallowed my own tongue laughing at that.

 

[Lupercal]

Lol at people thinking it's a bait and switch.

It's like the election all over again.

 

[fireflame]

Does Geoff have a neogaf account?

 

[Ristifer]

I remember when people thought the Switch was going to be $299 and not a penny more.

It's like poetry.

gotta keep you tuned in

He's posted numerous times in this thread.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

Yikes. This thing is gonna get crushed this holiday.

I actually disagree. I think XBOX has a huge crowd of price-insensitive fans. Just look at XBOX One's day 1 sales and the success of the XBOX Elite controller.

MS is going to sell quite a lot of Scorpios to those. Skimming those early adopters isn't that unusal anyhow... That said "a lot" isn't anywhere near XBOX One's day one sales. Especially during holiday, price is king, as we know, and Sony will for sure offer some amazing deals for both SKUs.

 

[De_Legend]

Does Geoff have a neogaf account?

Yeah he posted in this thread.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

This is definitely a bait and switch thing.

It will be 399.

 

[DangerMouse]

LOL

 

[AlphaDump]

I could see two versions of the scorpio sold. The more feature rich version being $499.

I don't know why Geoff would come out the gate with the price and be incorrect. That'd be kind of weird.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Just need Geoff's face on Joker.

Otherwise, 10/10.

 

[Inuhanyou]

I do not believe MS will price themselves out of the marketplace by going with 499.

I fully expect 399 and for MS to eat the loss, 499 rumors are just a dodge to get people super excited for the bait and switch

 

[F0rneus]

Joker took out Geoff and took over his Twitter and GAF accounts.

Dont underestimate the wow factor, perception is everything and it translate to more units sold.

 

[daffy]

3 years of taking L's and they're lining up to take another 3 years worth? Color me surprised

 

[LurkingFear]

Dear god... the hits keep on coming!

 

[Eria]

LMAO

 

[Majukun]

My remarks regarding exclusives were about internal 1st party 2nd party studios. Not big 3rd party games like GTA, FF and the such the PS2 had on lock.

Yes, a lot of WORK was done to reposition the console - but the magic bullets came from ND, SSM, SP, PD, Sony Japan, GG, MM and others - they created content that gamers couldn't ignore. Not sure MS has that, now that FIFA, SW, D2, CODand RDR are meant to get exclusive marketing deals.

the restructuring was done to first and second party too.. I remember a period where many games from Sony studios were canceled and the funds were directed to some particular ones.. Sony needed to be more efficient in delivery first and second party content because the this party support was way less than before, and they did that.
Microsoft doesn't have the portfolio of studios but it has the money to pay for those exclusives or to create more studios... but what they really need is to diversify their offer... they cover like 3 or 4 genres and that's it fps, tps, fighting games and racing.. if like me you don't particularly like any of those genres, you are not gonna buy a xbone.. That's IMHO what they should focus on.

Ok so it is not just me

Same here. Had to use the PS4 web browser to watch the stream since app won't load it.

Wouldn't work for me through the app either.
Webrowser works fine though, just not through YouTube Gaming.

Not sure if you have this option, but I just loaded it up on my laptop, and chromecast it to my TV. Works great.

Well at least I know it wasn't a fault on my end. Opened the link with my tablet and I'm just gonna use chrome cast lol

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

GAF can't even stay up during minor streams, let alone E3.

 

[cjp]

This is definitely a bait and switch thing.

It will be 399.

Quoted for posterity.
