XBox one pricecut confirmed? And please MS, give me the discless console!

Price cut or "unbundling", whatever you want to call it, if you wanted a Xbox one 22 months ago, you had to spend $500. 

Now today, if you want an Xbox one, you only have to spend $349. 

So from 2013 to 2015, it IS $150 less than since it originally launched. 

There's no getting around that. 

PS4 was $399 when it launched. And it's still $399. No price cut or "unbundling". Still $399. 

That's what ppl see. And I'm sure to most ppl, they also see a price cut. 

Calling it something else doesn't change the fact it's still $150 cheaper than it was when it first launched. 

It amazes me the mental gymnastics some Xbox fans go through to claim Xbox never gets a price cut. They did it last gen with the "just replacing SKUs" argument, and they're doing it this gen with the "unbundling of Kinect" excuse. The XBO has had a $150 price cut since launch, just get over it. Just like if the more desired SKU gets a price cut, while the most bare bones SKU remains $199, that's still a price cut.

Did Sony call it a "feature removal" when they dropped the price back then by removing BC for ps2 games, or memory card slots, or usb ports? 

Cause I remember the term "price cut" being used. 

I guess "unbundling" is the new word for price cut and we missed the memo. 

Why do so many people say that the Xbox One was $499 but can now be bought for $349? Everyone knows this, lol, there's nothing to get around. What I don't get is the people who support the term "$150 price cut" even though we've proven that term doesn't apply here. Nobody is saying the Xbox One can't be purchased for $150 cheaper than originally launched so is there any way we can stop the redundant "But its $150 cheaper" arguement?

I don't know why this bugs me so much but could you and the others at least pretend like you are smart enough to understand the concept? Pretty please?

PS - Yes they should remaster the SSX series, that series was amazing on the PS2.

I'm a PS fan and I claim that Xbox One never got a $150 price cut. If I did say Xbox One got a $150 price cut I would be using improper terminology. Its not an excuse or mental gymnastics lol, its called using proper terminology. If you want to take the time to understand this (apparently difficult) concept then go ahead but ignorance shouldn't have a voice...or a keyboard. Its kind of funny to tell people something over and over again and have them still not get it.

Unless you guys are being sarcastic and I just look like a fool haha...but this is the internet and some people DO have a hard time understanding certain things so if you guys are being serious then...that's pretty unfortunate, good luck in life.

If PS4 does have a price cut on holidays xb1 will be in serious trouble unless they also have price cut, they need to keep that price advantage to keep competitive. But still, with all of sony's 3rd party marketing deals I still think they have the advantage this coming holiday season, this year wont be the same as last year that is for sure.

BC was the only thing removed from the PS3. It still has usb ports and memory card slots. 

If you wanted an "Xboxone with Kinect" at launch, it would have cost you $499.00

Now, if you want an "Xboxone with Kinect", then it will cost you $449.00

If you want an "Xboxone without kinect", you can get one for $349.00

Big difference there.

You're comparing one SKU that has more accessories (the Kinect), to another SKU which has less acessories (no kinect).

Its like comparing apples and oranges.

Or, a better comparison would be a 16oz drink vs a 12oz drink. their the same drink, but the 16oz cup has more in it, hence the higher price. 

Now i'm not arguing that you can't get an xone for a helllotcheaper now than at launch, but it is wrong to say that there was a $150.00 price cut as that is not the case. 

wrong.

this is getting old.

does Xboxone with Kinect = Xboxone without kinect?

Nope.

with kinect = $449.00

without kinect = $349.00

original xboxone with kinect at launch price = $499.00

see the difference?

just $50 less than at launch for the sku with kinect. 

one new sku at a new pric point.

just one price cut.

the difference then and now is that they introduced another SKU, the one without a kinect and priced it at $399.00. A new price point and a new SKU with new configuration (no kinect) while still retaining the original one with the kinect included.

It is wrong to say that it has gotten a $150.00 price cut.
