£500 still feels like a lot of money for a game console

Undoubtedly. I still think the ~£250 XBOS is the better deal, but thought this would appeal to the folks that want one. I'm tempted but on the fence.

It's not just a games console though is it....

It's not just a games console though is it....

I know but that's what is the target audience. World's most powerful console. Why wouldn't I just buy a full fledged PC for this price or may be £100 more which can run all games at 4K anyway and will be quite productive as well.

Gradually over the years, the line between consoles and PCs have blurred.

Same here.... On the fence and just need to be pushed. Tempted to wait for black friday now.
But heat on this deal.... Very good.
Xbox one x is expensive, but it's for gamers that want the best out of their console and have the money to treat themselves.

I am on the fence too. Have original xbox one and samsung 55 SU8500 4k TV

Cant decide if i should take the jump or not.

Just got the Xbox one and games really do look very nice but there just not enough games yet

If I was buying a system right now I would go for the X, its over 4 times the resolution on alot of games, It makes the S look ice age

Great deal man.

Great deal. S only make sense as a doorstop and M$ dumping stock by giving them away for free with some games like the new COD.

Tempted to buy the X but i need to buy a 4K oled tv first... I will wait for Black Friday to get the X.

Because not everyone wants a pc? Not many people like pcs as they
1)spend all day on one at work/school

2) hate all the updates of drivers etc and

3) don't like using mouse and keyboard.. also

4) you can't beat plug and play and also game share on the xbox consoles is a massive Incentive.

I have a pc and ps4 that I use also for gaming but I didn't hesitate or have to think about buying an X. The 4k br player is also brilliant.

Ps. Please stop the pc vs console thing it's so annoying and it's everywhere from ign to neogaf and now here ‌

Not enough games? You mean exclusives I guess... but so? 3rd party games get much more play time than any exclusives across all current consoles.

I went and bought 8 enhanced games today from Forza 7 (stunning) to Diablo 3 and they all look amazing and for me that is a massive thing.
it helps the immersion so much.. all 3rd party games will be bought for the X from now while I'll keep the ps4 as I love it and the exclusives are amazing (although i can't get into horizon!)

Also Phil said that next year MS have some surprises up their sleeve regarding exclusives (console)

Xbox One X is essentially a PC now with Windows 10 interface and loads of updates etc. For someone who will be using a Xbox One X, he/she could definitely use a PC in today's world
I understand the simplicity of using a console but as i said before, the lines between consoles and PC are blurry and i cant see the value in the cost of an X being £500 for a game console irrespective.

I actually heard some games might even run better on the X vs pc as developers might give it more attention. Don't know if its fully true.

Damn, clicked on the link thinking I saw £48 - now that would have been a good price. But it is 10 times that much....At nearly £500 it is bordering on PC territory.

I have a gaming PC and will be getting an Xbox one X. It isn't one or the other. I'll be buying a 4k oled TV at the same time to make it worth it.

No way your can get a pc to perform at this level for £600. PC fan boys are crazy

World has changed a lot in the last few years buddy Go to part picker and choose a high end card like the RX580 and that will give you better performance than the Xbox One X

Performance doesn’t automatically mean the games will be more impressive, the Xbox games are designed with the Xbox in mind, pcs are a minefield of customisation and conflicts.

Lots of reviewers and experts are in agreement that the Xbox one x will outperform any pc at this price point purely because of this. However a bigger investment in a pc will leave the one x in the dust.

Personally, I will stick to my one s. Being able to just turn it on and go is a bonus. (When there’s no updates)

Same with me. I will stick to my One S and get a PC later if i feel like playing at 4K.

You're telling me that if I spend £250 on just a graphics card plus the rest of a PC, including an OS (so £750 plus) I'll get better performance? Wow, incredible, who'd have thought it possible.Now tell me, and use PC part picker if you like, what comparable PC can you build for £450?Read lessRead more

There you go a custom build for around 600 that will give you a equivalent performance to a Xbox One X.
Click for the PC Config
No need to be aggressive buddy

I guess my point in all this is not to start a war between both of them but just to say that £500 for a console is too much as the target audience will always be gamers and most of them will be young who will have no idea of differentiating a Xbox One S vs Xbox One X. And for those gamers who are old enough, they can easily get and use a PC. So its a lost cause.

I know the value of a console, coming from PC gaming and spending last so many years on consoles, but just the jump in pricing from £200 for the One S to £500 for the One X is too much.

No great surprise due to the platform's hardware parity. The arrival of the X is nothing but a good thing for PC gamers, developers are more likely to use high quality assets (e.g. textures) and will be on the look out for frame rate crippling effects at high resolutions (2160p).

On the downside, the X has a fixed specification whilst PC hardware will continue progressing.
It also lacks the same freedom with regard to visual effects such as DOF, motion blur and FOV. Plus the fact 4k/60fps is not possible on every title.

The X has launched at a reasonable price and will gradually drop over time, though it desperately needs some interesting exclusives to tempt Playstation owners.

(Edit: I'm almost certain my fellow PC gamers will be considering an X in 2018 just to play RDR2..... )

PS3 was 430, in what 2009? Xbox one was 425. 450 for a console that contains the specs the X has is a bargain. The fact you can't build a PC for similar money proves that, and also renders any "get a PC instead" arguments null and void. So I don't understand the need for people to come into threads about consoles spouting the usual get a PC. Especially when you are required to spend more for the same results.

Edited to also say your PC is going to need an OS there buddy. And also factor in time to build it. The short and simple is, there's no direct comparison to PC at the moment for the money.

Forget ps4 pro, forget x box one x, forget pc. Best to go back to Nintendo game and watch. No subscription fees, long battery life, fits in your pocket. 😁

Man... Feel like a kid again. Want this one really bad. Do you it's worth waiting few days for black Friday? 🤔

There's something about this one that feels good isn't there? The deals aren't going to get worse, so maybe....

Look, can we just agree that it's a damn impressive set of specs for the price and stop the bloody pc / xbox war discussions? We all know the pros and cons for each, we've been spewing and hearing the same crap for years. Bottom line, this console is excellent for the price and the fact that it can actually rival a PC at a similar price point is pretty damn good achievement. I'm jealous of whoever gets to pick one up!

I have a PC with i7 2600k and rx480 red devil overclocked to 580 level, 16gb RAM. I have a 1440p monitor and my pc does not give the same performance as the x.
