How Are people saying $300 is a good price? That's crazy high for what it offers. People are expecting a $400 ps5 digital. If that's the case this console is ridiculously overpriced. The only way I see this as a good price is if the ps5 digital is $500 and the series x and regular ps5 are $600, which I very much doubt that would be the case.

Agreed on the price. $300 is too much for a diskless 4 TFLOP machine. It better at least run games at $1440p 60 FPS! The 3080 will drop in a couple of weeks, and set the bar for graphics so high that this thing will be regarded as ultra-low end in a year's time. Both Series X and PS5 will be regarded as mid-tier a year from today.

So the Xbox Series S all in one package is overprice at $300 when compared to the $699 RTX 3080 GPU. Most current gaming rigs can't just drop in an RTX 3080, or will it be worth the upgrade. Why even compare high-end PC gaming to entry-level Xbox? 

This machine is for the casual, but just look at all the components in it 512GB SDD, 10GB GDDR6, 8 core AMD Zen2 processor with RDNA 2.0, CPU, and controller. Considering the cost of each component $300 is a really good deal.
