With the S model dropping to $200, this seems like a lot. $500 is 150% more than $200, or 2.5 times the price.

Cheapest new Xbox One S is still 249$ right? right now its not 200$.

It would be double the price of the Xbox One S currently.

If this is true, that means $670 Canadian.

Yikes.

if it woud come from a guy like shinobi, i would believe it but i never heard of that guy leaking something, so i dont really believe it and why would Microsoft "ruin" a what seems to be like, an insane press conference by announcing a price of 499 Dollar!?!? And like i said, a 300 Dollar price difference i just dont believe that, 399 Dollar will be a perfect competitive price but we will see.

He's not a random online guy like shinobi. And he doesn't make a name for himself leaking things. He's the one who is up on stage hosting game award shows. He's the one who gets to interview world famous developers and get exclusive information, etc.

This is not in the same league as random online leakers.

As for why Microsoft would "announce" the price? Their conference is 5 hoursd away. There's only so much they can do to avoid information spreading at E3.
Things like this get out. Final Fantasy 7 Remake got out around a day before it was announced. Silikonera staked their reputation on it saying they knew for sure that it will happen. And it did.

Well ok, we will find out everything in a few hours anyway if hes right, i still believe in 399 Dollar but that can be totally wrong of course.

It's about what some of us were thinking, but higher than what we were hoping.

Also, we now have Geoff saying $500 and Pachter saying $400. Who will be right?

Pachter also predicted a $249 PS4Pro, which would be a $150 cut. Don't take his predictions seriously in the slightest.

My fear was that it would have been announced at $600-$700.

It was bound to be somewhere between $400-$500.

499 is not between 400 - 500, its 500.

Makes no sense for them to actually drop the price of the Xbox one S tomorrow, it surely devalues the Scorpio at this price. They should have bundled 3 games with it instead, to add value to both, not take it away.

That means $600 here, and that is one sale less for MS. They really were hinting at $399, but if this is true, well it is a massive mistake on the part of the Xbox team...

Sorry to bring you the bad news, but with the current exchange rate $499.99=C$673.26 so you're probably looking at C$649.99 or C$699.99 in Canada.

12GB GDDR5, large APU and exotic cooling. Realistic expectations people...

DOA everywhere but the US and UK at that price tbh.
