the point was outside the US people dont just use credit cards for everything or even own them a lot of the time and we get full protection on our debit cards anyway. also casual debt for stuff you can just afford is righthly seen as stupid.

This thread is like a fever dream of an otherwise normal thread. An Xbox thread somehow got diverted to credit and debit cards for a whole two pages. And people have strong opinions about all of it.

There's also a white box that, if you currently have an X, is less powerful.

That guy was some idiot YouTuber and not a tech guy and was comparing ram of different speeds so it's not fully known if it will actually be less powerful than the One X but Microsoft has already shown video of it running Gears 5 at 120fps so I think it should be fine.

For poorer people like ethanol and stux, you can just buy the console without worrying about the finance options you know?

Do people have these same types of existential crisis when taking out a phone contract? My phone's +50% more expensive each month than the S + All Access deal.

Think a lot of people will take advantage of the no-upfront costs, pretty damned cheap for the series S if you wanted to buy outright too (cheapest new gen console ever?). Will be interesting to see if Sony offer some sort of zero % finance option.

Probably for PC Game Pass at least. EA Play on Steam still has some Origin components, if I recall correctly.

Not even remotely correct. There have actually been very few consoles that launched higher than $299 (with many below that, like $199, or even $189 for the Genesis). This is literally the entire list.

Neo Geo MVS
Philips CD-i
3DO
Sega Saturn
PS3
Xbox One (the third)
PS4 (the fourth)

It's the first time a next gen console has launched hamstrung, though.

You won't through Xbox because EA access is its own app. You probably will on at least some games on PC, though, because they literally baked the origin launcher as a DRM check into many of their titles.

Speculation at this point so nothing confirmed, but would be lol if the Series S can't play One X titles with the X enhancements. So no 4k RDR2 on Series S? That would be a huge drawback. The One X was available for $299 often in the states so if you have a One S and 'upgrade' to the S you could potentially not get the same experience as a previous gen console no longer being manufactured.

Again, speculation - MS could do something with memory management and the SSD for back compat or through virtualization force the game to be rendered in 1440p, who knows. But the memory constraints in it more than I was expecting, even with RDNA2 improvements going from 330+ GB to 224, and of that only 8 is at that speed is kinda yikes

In Australia I can trade in my one X (which I traded my Xbone OG in against, paying only $300) against a series X and pay $399 instead of $749.

guess I will be upgrading on day one then.
