$300 is a fantastic price, god damn

This is it. Im actually tempted by the $35 per month Xbox All Access subscription, but at this moment there is just nothing exclusive i care for bar Halo that actually has release date in sight

I think this will be good as a second console for PS only people like myself. It's a cheap way to play stuff like Gears and Fable. Bit this will all depend on how well the next gen games perform. If they take a massive hit, a Ps5 digital might be better if it's only 50 odd quid more. Here is to hoping.

the price is killing it.

1440p upscaled to 4k should be enough for most people.
299€ / 249 GBP is a steal.

The XSX is said to be sold at a loss which means that PS5 at around a similar price would be sold at a loss so the chance of the DE being £300 is very slim as that would require a large loss per unit sold it'd be a hard enough task for it target £350 as not only does removing disc drive not reduce the cost by much it has an expensive SSD in it. Mind share and such are things that shift on the fly PS had it back with the PS2 it still didn't stop the 360 giving the PS3 all sorts of problems fact is very few people are embedded into any platform the majority go with where ever the tide is flowing, affordability was one of the major factors back with the 360 as well.

upto 1440p / and upto 120fps.

Just like the Xbox series X, can do upto 8k (doesnt mean all games will run 8k on it, most of them wont).

The vast majority of (next gen) games on the Xbox Series S, will be 1080p or below, and 60fps or below.
Its a entry point to next gen gameing.

Something like Ori and the blind forrest / battletoads will probably be 1440p on the S.
However if you run the next gears it will likely be 900-1080p on the S.

Not really. MS made it sound like 1080p and 6x FPS is going to be the minimum for this machine, which is perfectly possible. I don't think they are going to go back to sub 1080p land. 

I mean, most people and gamers don't own 4K displays, so why would they want anything over 1080p? I honestly think the Series S is going to be the one that sells a ton, with the Series X being there for any needing "gamer speed". 

So its true. And $300 price is insane. Going full competitive here, also SX is going to be $499 from the same guy.

The 500GB SSD puts a dampener on things. Since is its all digital people will be wanting that extra SSD expansion sooner rather than later. I think the SX is a steal tbh, this sku does look okay though for those who can't fork out the extra monies and don't have a 4K TV.

Or the space premium. I will be honest here, I'm looking to get the S over the X now. I was already more interested in a smaller 1080p console because I simply have no use for the enhanced resolution when all my TVs are 1080p. Better that with high frame rates than 4K with lower ones. 

I think I'm definitely getting this one. 

Also, the official Xbox account did Tweet an update, so either they are trolling us or it's official (like for real) now. Also, they might still come up with a controller-less SKU. We can't say anything for certain right now. 

I wouldn't put too much weight in this. This is what the GPU is capable off, how developers actually use when they have a technically demanding game is another thing. Im curious what the upscalling technique is.
