Microsoft is getting really good at making bad deals so they appear good.

unfortunately for them people are not dumb as they wished.

So when u get the scarlett your tied in for 24 months worth of payments ?

But if Xbox One X is $400 and Scarlett is $500 or more, then it makes sense.

 

[Journey]

I thought this thread was about an upgrade to Scarlett hardware specs.

Initially me too hahaha

 

[shenmue mugen]

I just wanted MS to continue their backwards compatibility program.

They can spin it anyway but announcing a BC initiative knowing full well that would be a selling point for the Xbox One family and leaving users in the dust more than 1,5 years before the arrival of next gen was an extremely dishonest move.

 

[TeamGhobad]

That's kinda cool but no use to me. I can afford to buy my consoles outright and not need a payment plan.

No i'm pretty sure there are dumb people out there. Such as the OP thinking this is a good deal.

 

[Strider Highwind]

Seriously fam dont do this.

Yikes...

£24.99 over 24 months =
599 US DOLLARS I mean GB POUNDS.
And for a midgen console that will become obsolete soon.

Actually it's not bad. You're basically pre-paying for the Scarlet. If you look at it not as an overpriced Xbox, but a console to tide you over until Scarlet arrives, then its a good deal. A previous poster reported that the console is about $399. Instead of buying the console at that price then buying a scarlet and perhaps selling the old console, you can straight upgrade it.

The bonus information we now know is that the Scarlet seems to be in the ballpark of $600-$700 range.

It mentions nothing about upgrade cost. Just that you have the option to 'upgrade' the contract likely to a more expensive one 12 months into the 24 month contract.

 

[Shambala]

Lmao yo Microsoft just doing anything to try to get 1st place next gen

 

[Negotiator]

I'm a bit confused. How much does it cost it to get Scarlett with this program? (assuming it's a $499 console)

12 months * £25 = £300 (Scarlett is gonna cost more than that I reckon, especially if Brexit comes to fruition).

But if you have to pay a total of 36 months (£900) and also return XB1X to Microsoft, then it's not worth it that much.

I know people who got 36 months of Game Pass Ultimate for only $1, as long as they had 3 years of XBL Gold (which costs around $100-120).
