Do you guys think MS will raise the X1's price back to $399 ever again? They keep saying that its a promotion and the price will go back up, but it would be really stupid for them to do that.

The theory is that they're just calling it a promotion so that more people will buy it now because they think the price cut is limited time. I highly doubt that they plan to go back up to $399 again, Xbox One really wasn't selling all that well at $399. 

Yeah that's true. Maybe they will have $399 bundles with a free game in the future. As long as X1 is $50 cheaper than the PS4, I think X1 should do fine.

Yeah, Xbox One has been just behind PS4 on Amazon since the 2nd promotion. Now they just need to do something about the price outside of the US.

They better do it soon. In Europe they are being destroyed, and its the same case in many other countries. If they don't drop the price soon, then X1 will become a device that no one games on in many of those countries just like the first Xbox was.

You mentioned once that even a 100 euro price cut wouldn't help compete with the PS4 right?



Today is the day of the MS event! Can't wait, should be a good'un.

I'm super pumped for the MS event!

Also, monthly Amazon charts updated. PS4 at #9, XB1 at #10

Yeah should be great! Do you have any idea how long it is? Can't seem to find that info anywhere...

That's mighty impressive for the XB1 as well. Really glad that things have picked up for it, it's a great system (think I prefer it to the PS4 in terms of exclusives currently) and it deserves the sales.

I have no idea, probably an hour? They don't like these things to drag on, but I always hope for longer!

Yeah I was thinking about the same, maybe 90 minutes would be cool. The good thing about MS is that they tend to be very to-the-point and get it over with, rather than filling it with nonsense for the duration of the time.

Anyway it's only five hours away (I think), so we'll see soon! Will you be doing a thread for it today by any chance?
