Goukosan 2,460 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) Remember the lay-away program MS tested our last year, the one that slow Jonny and Autistic Cop thought would push Xbox1 to the top... well it's back. This is the hardware version of hobo pass.... What way to devalue your next gen system a year before launch MS. Edited October 28, 2019 by Goukosan Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,318 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Don't get cheeto stains on your Xbox, or you'll lose your security deposit. I'm surprised Phil Spencer doesn't give out free discs of Sea of Thieves like AOL used to do with their installation discs. Give crappy games away in mailers, and hope they get enticed into getting an Xbox. Link to post Share on other sites
Long Ball Larry 1,385 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I’m confused, how would you upgrade to Scarlett for $20 a month? Link to post Share on other sites
DynamiteCop 2,169 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I don't see how giving people an optional way to get a console is somehow a bad thing.

I'm assuming they take your X or whatever back as a trade in, refurbish it and resell it while giving you a big discount on Scarlett while continuing your payments. Link to post Share on other sites

Getting a discount =/= free upgrade. How odd. Link to post Share on other sites

The model is basically saying you can get this console in the interim, and when Scarlett comes you can trade in your existing system towards that for a reduction in price and resume paying.

Devalues your Next gen console.... same thing GP is doing. Devalues MS first party games. These two programs only work if you have a constant stream of great games. Unfortunately MS doesn't have that constant stream of 1st content. Link to post Share on other sites

Long Ball Larry 1,385 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 So let me get this straight ..$19.99 for a S includes the gameplass and Xbox live gold? That is not a bad price, the worst part being you have to get the S though. that is $5 a month for the console? Link to post Share on other sites

So does this include Xbox live & gamepass? If so, you’re getting a Xbox one s (digital only) for $120, which is a nice discount. Tho this is clearly for poor people who haven’t bought these consoles yet Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,884 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 The XBox's problem is not price. It the value of the console. They can give it away with poptarts, increase value with actual fucking exclusives. Link to post Share on other sites

If so, you’re getting a Xbox one s (digital only) for $120, which is a nice discount. Tho this is clearly for poor people who haven’t bought these consoles yet You can get two years of Gamepass Ultimate for $120 by taking advantage of Microsoft converting Gold into Gamepass Ultimate. At $200 for an S digital, you'll save $160 off the $480 MS is charging. Even if somebody couldn't afford the $320 up front and needed to pay monthly, they'd still be better off just getting the line of credit elsewhere since $160 in interest on a $320 loan over 24 months is an APR of 42.5%.
