I don't think that's ever gonna happen

it depends

Google did give them a small kick in the ass

but it only helps areas that have at least one fiber optic internet provider

because Google did their Google Fiber shit, and in towns where they coexisted with Verizon, Verizon suddenly started offering gigabit internet for the same price

in my area, we have verizon, so that means I get cheap gigabit internet now

wondering how this is gonna workout for MS

if the PS5 digital edition is even $400, I don't see MS winning this one

$300 is very competitive

but digi only?

not for me

I'm okay with digital only

but what stands out to me is that $300 is a good value until you consider that if the PS5 digital edition is $400, you're getting a much better system for your money

not even in the "only nerds care about specs sense"

in the "I have enough space to install a single Call of Duty game on my $300 console" sense

nah man, you're overestimating normoids

oh ok

ye, that 512 GB SSD is gonna fuck them so hard the second 200 GB installs become standard

lol

if I was a regular joe

if I was a good joe

I would buy a console for 300

it depends on how much money they have to work with

poor families will definitely get the $300 Xbox

assuming they don't get the $200 Switch Lite

yeah

like I know my sister and she'll definitely go for the $300 Xbox for my one nephew

which to be fair, aside from the storage space problem

that's all he needs

I don't think they care

they sort of do but it depends

they go, "$360 for an xbox with call of duty!??" UHHH YEAH IM THERE

New console

my nephew cares more about whether the console works than how good the games look because he grew up playing a half-broken wii on a 27" SD CRT so it all looks good

"WHAT THE NEW CONSOLE IS $300!?"

my other nephew cares more about exclusive games

That's a Christmas explosion

but my nephew who's like super into xbox and all of his friends are on xbox and so on and so forth, unless his friends switch to PS5 he'll end up with that $300 Xbox

because it's not like he has a TV that needs a series X

he's on one of those """1080p""" TVs they'd sell back in the mid 2010s that were actually 1360x768

good deal
