Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Xbox ONE $399 (Kinectless) GOLD services confirmed Lots of info inside.

Microsoft is gearing up to win the holidays.. This is big news for gamers. Congrats folks.



Praise the One.

id rather have a Xone with kinect than one without. Seriously 399 for less power than the PS4 is still not a good offer especially because there is not much left to make the xone different.

399 with kinect on the other hand would be brilliant.



So, we are back with the "Better with Kinect" stamp on the game covers?



Now the competition can really start.

I'm kinda inclined to search for all the people that said they'd never drop kinect.



Yeah I'm happy with my Kinect, use it for the console all the time. I do worry that this means less of a focus on it from developers in the future, but I know at least Spencer will make sure MS takes care of those with it. I'm good with a couple games a year that utilize it. KSR was an awesome start.

What a disaster the launch of the XBO has turned out to be in terms of PR/Features and overall how they launched it. Don't think i've ever seen a product so badly launched in my life in terms of making all the wrong moves and being so out of touch.

Surprising they are going to sell it as £349 in the UK, don't think it will have a massive impact on increase of sales, may prevent them sliding further down though.



Making an indie game : Dead of Day!

Did they say that before or after a totally different guy was responsible for the Xbox brand?

to play devils advocate.
what excuse will xbox fans have now if the ps4 continues to outsell the xbox one without the good old "100$ more" line?

fun arguments ahead, i cant wait

Mainland Europe and Japan....it is no secret they worship the brand name regardless of what MS does.

But im glad Xbox will go back to English speaking world domination! ;)



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Looks like there going down the PS+ route with the ONE atleast.

I'm waiting for all the people saying "I'd rather keep my games. I don't like to rent" to come out of the woodwork.
