I don't doubt it's worth it specs wise, but at $649 AUD it's just too expensive. And without a killer app I can't help but ask what the point of it is (so essentially what my questions about the Pro were).

At least with the Pro at the moment you can get the console, three games and remote control for $539.

$650 is alot however when you take into account the system is also a 4k Blu Ray player and just about everything on the X1X is superior to the S model even the load times. We paid $550 for a day one XB1 so for what your getting its sounds right. Plus its a 3 for 1 console that plays all Xbox games better than there originals. 

There are 6 Xbox Exclusives coming out in 2017, Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves, Cuphead, Ori 2, State of Decay 2 and Forza 7 all great looking games that will look amazing in true 4k.

Dont listen to those saying there arent any games coming out either. There is plenty. For me most of them will be played on my GTX 1080 however that was a $1000 GPU. For almost half the price plus all the features the X1X has, i wont be complaining.

True. The 4k blu ray I don't see as that big of a deal. Personally, I own 0 4k dvds and all my movie watching is done via streams or my old school dvds.

Those games tickle my fancy but again I'm wary of throwing $650 at a console that 1) isn't my preferred (I game on PS4), 2) will be outdated in 18 months when the next gen starts.
