If you are referring to the Gears 5 Console Bundle than that actually gives you 5 games as it comes with the entire mainline collection of Gears of War from 1 to 5 plus you get one of the best looking X consoles ever made.
But yes its very expensive for a console. Depends how much you love Gears of War I guess. |
yep that one, but I have played the others :) I had game pass for a month so already played Forza Horizon 4, the other reason I wanted an xbox. $1 for the game, $30 for a wired 360 controller since FH4 simply refuses to work with a DS4. Was worth it though!
Anyway don't love it enough to spend CAD 600 on, especially not at the end of the gen. This is the time it should be cheap to pick up 'the other console'. Considering I payed CAD 400 at launch for the ps4 this is just ridiculous. It's half the exchange rate, half the pro's fault. It is a nice looking console if I was still in my 20's :) The standard version is 540 here, plus 80 for the game, more expensive than the bundle with all 5. That's not end of gen pricing.
The question is also did the pro versions help or hurt console sales in the end. They make the base consoles look old and also get much less polish like with Control for example. Plus it makes upgrading look better than getting the other consoles. The fact that xbox is not able to gain any momentum anymore like the ps3 managed last gen, despite doing everything right atm, makes me think mid gen upgrades were a bad idea. Although in my case it's also game pass / cross play with PC that made it unnecessary / less interesting to buy an xbox or its games.
