They'll be "cheap" as in $200 probably, the XBox one S will be cheaper in a year too .... probably like $250 ... for $50 more might as well just get the XBox. 

MS basically is going to get anyone who wants to play actual 4K movie content by default including even Playstation buyers. I just think it's a stupid way to run the Playstation business. 

And for what? So Sony could save like $10. Whoopity doo. 

Guess I get to check ou that XBox ecosystem now though. The new XBox controller is pretty awesome too, best console controller on the market, tried it out yesterday at GameStop. Like butter. And there are a few XBox games that I've wanted to try which I will be able to, so I guess that's a nice silver lining, but still this whole situation has left a bad taste in my mouth. 

I'm buying a console I basically shouldn't have to get. 

Wait you're buying an Xbox slim instead of a scorpio?  But the slim plays games at just the standard level.  Not talking much advantage of your big expensive 4k set at all.  This makes no sense.  Are you in this for the 4k games or 4k movies? 

Well I'm going to have to have a 4K player no matter what, if I'm paying $2000+ for that new shiny 4KTV I damn well want some kick ass real 4K content to show people when they come over to the house on top of the fact that I kinda (gasp!) like movies. So I'm basically forced into the XBox One S. No one else is offering anything better for a lower price. Sony's not giving me any kind of better option.  

I think I'm just going to make a clean break for the Playstation ecosystem entirely. Keep the XBox One S for a year and then trade it for $120 or whatever in a year's time for a Scorpio and my XBox games/controllers will all be forwards compatible with that and I'll get in the long term a better 4K console gaming experience with the Scorpio too. 

I don't think there's going to be a ton of games that really take advantage of the PS4 Pro over the next year anyway and it isn't really the perfect 4K console anyway, specs are a little on the low side, though the the upscaling or whatever technology sounds decent enough. 

It's a shame I won't get to finish my copy of Uncharted 4, but that's the breaks I guess. I am upset that it's basically all because Sony can save $10-$15 a system that I'm being forced into going this route.
