We can confirm via our sources that the entry-level Xbox Series S will cost $299 at retail, with a $25 per month Xbox All Access financing option, which Microsoft is planning to push hard via various retailers and a large global roll out. The more powerful Xbox Series X will cost $499, with a $35 per month Xbox All Access financing option.

Both consoles will launch on November 10, 2020.

Seem to be £249.99 in the UK.

 

[Jon Neu]

499 it's an amazing price.

 

[Shambala]

Let’s go baby. Sony bout to go $299 and $399

 

[quest]

[Entroyp]

Now open preorders... not because I want one but so Sony can start preorders too...

 

[DonJuanSchlong]

It's cool that they have a financing option. This will probably bode well, and allow more people to go high end than entree level this time around.

 

[Thugnificient]

Worst-kept secrets ever.

 

[Jon Neu]

Let’s go baby. Sony bout to go $299 and $399

I wish that was true, but it's probably going to be 599 & 499

 

[Cert.in.Death]

This is how it's getting announced?

FFS.

 

[Chiggs]

That’s decent pricing. Glad to see the XSX is not going for $600.

All eyes on Sony’s pricing.

 

[Quantum253]

Dang out of nowhere.
299.99
499.99
Sounds like most people's predictions

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

RIP Sony

 

[DonF]

Wow the series s is like half the volume of the series x. I hate the two tone but I like the overall design, in fact I like it more than the sx

 

[Blitzmangoman]

Well there it is. Let's see if this will make Sony move.
300$/€ sure isn't expensive.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

That means:

PS5 Digital = $399
PS5 = $599 (FIVE HUNDRED AND NINGTHY NINEE YU X DOLLARUS)

EDIT: meant $499 for Digital,

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

No way Sony goes for $399 right?

 

[Stuart360]

So the prices that pretty much what 90% of us guessed at months ago. There really was no need for all this cloak and dagger bullshit.

 

[onQ123]

I remember when Sega tried this with the Dreamcast but now more people are online & this is also how most people get their phones so maybe it will work out.

 

[Entroyp]

This is how it's getting announced?

FFS.

Weird, isn’t it?

 

[fersnake]

ps5 $399.99
ps5 digital $349.99

let's go!

 

[saintjules]

Smart of them to release on the 10th.

 

[Chiggs]

That means:

PS5 Digital = $399
PS5 = $599 (FIVE HUNDRED AND NINGTHY NINEE YU X DOLLARUS)

That doesn’t make any sense, though. $200 discount for no disc? Doesn’t add up.

 

[decisions]

Seemingly great prices.

I wonder if Sony will undercut them now that the prices leaked early.

 

[baberunisei]

Microsoft going all in, Sony won't be able to compete

 

[Pallas]

Glad to see it’s not going to cost more than the launch Xbox One X.

That means:

PS5 Digital = $399
PS5 = $599 (FIVE HUNDRED AND NINGTHY NINEE YU X DOLLARUS)

I think at most you’ll see a $100 difference between the two. Since both consoles are pretty much the same, only difference being the disc drive. I hope the PS5 is also $499, though.

 

[dorkimoe]

This is how it's getting announced?

FFS.

It’s what they and Sony deserve at this point

 

[ZehDon]

Definitely heating up. Worth noting, their article on the earlier Series S leak, which has the estimated retail price clearly listed as "estimated retail price", reads "A leaked render has revealed the design and price of Microsoft's unnanounced and upcoming Xbox Series S" and they're just quoting that price here... despite it being listed as "estimated retail price" in the leak they're quoting. Early leaks of the Series S listed a target of USD$249.00 and the Series X at USD$499.00. I'll continue to wait for official confirmation.

 

[jshackles]

Was planning on $599 so at $499 I'm definitely in Day 1.

Might even pick up Series S for the other room.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Weird, isn’t it?

Asinine.

There's no good reason to have waited this long to let it happen like this. See you in the morning Phil, can't imagine they're going to wait very long to cut the ribbons and all that jazz.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Can you please show us games running on the console next event. An update on Scorn would be nice as well.

 

[saintjules]

Curious, is the financing option subject to a credit check?

 

[BlackTron]

Holy shit, they did the cell phone move and offer financing the hardware when you sign up for the service. That is huge, it's why people who complain about a $400 game console will use a $1000 phone without even thinking about it.

 

[RayHell]

Xbox All Access

Curious, is the financing option subject to a credit check?

With approval of Citizens One Line of Credit at 0% APR and 24-month term. Subject to individual credit approval.
So yes

 

[mortal]

Finally!

Your move, Sony.

That means:

PS5 Digital = $399
PS5 = $599 (FIVE HUNDRED AND NINGTHY NINEE YU X DOLLARUS)

lol that doesn't make any sense. Why would a disc drive make a $200 difference when both SKUs will have the same specs?

I like to see games running on a retail Sony unit. The dev kit can turn off variable clocks. All the game play demos could be full gpu full cpu and on retail units have slow down and micro studder.

 

[Quantum253]

Ps5 DE: 499.99
PS5: 549.99-599.99 (1yr ps+)
I can't see Sony matching 399 with the current tech

 

[Soltype]

So one targets 1080p and the other is 4k?

 

[sainraja]

If the Series X will be $499.99, then like in the past, why wouldn't people just get that?

 

[Self High Five]

 

[kingwingin]

So one targets 1080p and the other is 4k?

More 1440p and 4k

 

[bender]

Thinking Sony goes $449/499.

 

[-Arcadia-]

$499 and $299 is the best (potential) news out of Microsoft in months. $499 for those specs is

Now show a lot of games that really show that the Series X is all it’s cracked up to be, and you might just have a comeback.

 

[DForce]

Likely just a controlled leak lol

 

[Jon Neu]

More 1440p and 4k

The people buying the Series S are going to be -for the most part- people without 4K tv's.

There's no point in targeting 1440p when most of their tv's are 1080p.

 

[semicool]

PS5 at 599, digital 549

 

[Entroyp]

PS5 at 599, digital 549

Why would the PS5 cost more?

 

[CD'S BAR]

pretty much confirms ps5 disc 499 and digital 399 (the sweet spot combo of tech and price imo).

 

[quest]

If the Series X will be $499.99, then like in the past, why wouldn't people just get that?

Family with 2 kids. The price of 2 series s 599.99 vs 2 series x 999.99. That is a lot of money for many families right now. People who don't have a 4k tv or someone who does not care just wants to keep playing new gamepass games cheap as possible.
