The Xbox One - Part 8

[Thundercrack85]

Halo bundle. But that seems too simple.

Perhaps Microsoft's answer to PS Now?

 

[CapedCrusader14]

I ordered a White Xbone with Sunset Overdrive and the MCC on its own. Pretty much set now.

 

[Benstamania]

I don't think we're getting a Halo bundle until Halo 5. Then MS will go all out and I'll want to buy another Xbone.

 

[Benstamania]

How much do you think 2x4 or 1x8 TB might cost? When I fill up what I have I'll look at getting something like a 10TB or whatever I think at that point will last me the generation. Only want to buy one external and never have to delete anything.

8TB seem pretty expensive. On Amazon they range anywhere from 4-600 dollars. Not sure if I can get them cheaper anywhere else. 4TB's are a bit less expensive on Amazon than say Best Buy or Walmart. I'd probably be content with just two of these guys.

4TB Western Digital

I don't think that's a terrible way to go. Though I would wait for Black Friday with MCC. Sure someone will have it on sale.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Guys what the hell are you going to do with a 8 TB HDD for just the Xbone?

 

[CapedCrusader14]

Yeah there are a lot of console bundles going on in Australia right now but I decided to go with what option would work out cheaper for me so I could save more money for the bigger releases in November I will be already paying for. And I want to continue the tradition I have now of owning white Xboxs in contrast to my black Playstations

eh......the white console versions just don't look appealing to me. black tends to go better with other things.

and I think 1TB would probably be more than sufficient for my gaming needs. that's why I'm trying my hardest to hold out until they release a standard 1TB model.

unless there's a really good deal on a 2TB external drive this BF. then I guess could get that + the AC bundle.

but still.....I think I want to wait for a standard 1TB model/bundle. I'm willing to wait for I and spend a little more. then I won't have to worry about storage for a long time. and if I need more, then can get an external drive. and by then, the prices should have dropped some.

The only way you personally will need more storage is if you pretty much dump your PS4, or use it the way I have been which is just for its exclusive games.

You must really be thinking you're going to end up going full on X1 in the future as concerned about storage as you are.

 

[CapedCrusader14]

The way I'm using my consoles is pretty simple; Xbox One for their exclusives and PS4 for exclusives and multi-platform games.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

I'm still waiting for that perfect bundle.

You'll always be waiting for that perfect bundle. As soon as you get yours, something else even better will come along.

that's what I'm planning to do actually. make the X1 my primary console and use the PS4 for exclusives.

tell me about it.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Actually I just want a good physical game.

And white. But I'll settle for a physical game.

Halo, really.

based on their history, don't think the X1 bundles will include physical games.

but then you essentially get the games for free in the bundles.......so......

 

[Thundercrack85]

Ebay has a deal right now, an Xbox One (sans Kinect), Destiny, and a year of Xbox live for 429.

I can't wait until Black Friday.

new console or used?

are you going to get it?

Oh, well then, that makes sense.

tell me about it.

Thats one of the draw backs of being a launch supporter. You get to see ALL of the great new bundles and deals without ever having the chance to take advantage of them. But I don't regret my choice, I enjoyed being there at launch.

Im thinking of getting that white SO bundle myself. I was gonna sell my old iPhone to Gazelle, but GameStop is willing to offer me like 40 dollars more. So Id be able to put my phone and my current console towards the white SO bundle and come out without having to pay any out of pocket.

I guess, but I can get it for 360 without trying too hard. In hindsight I kind of regret not picking up a Xbone with Kinect for like 420.

All these bundles really do is enforce the idea that the Xbox isn't really worth sticker price, and that digital games at 60 dollars are a rip off.

 

[Thundercrack85]

New.

Because I'm your friend, I'm not going to give you the link. You don't want to spend that on Destiny.

 

[Tron Bonne]

and that's why I wouldn't be shocked if they also announced a standard 1tb black console.

it may not happen in time for Holidays, but I wouldn't be shocked if we saw it in a few months.

That's a pretty different thing. That really would shock me. I mean, maybe next year, but priced higher along with the models we have now.

 

[Thundercrack85]

I could perhaps see a 1 TB Xbone with Kinect for 499.

I would find that tempting.

and that's one reason why I kind of do want to wait for a standard black 1TB console. even if it means waiting until early next year.

For example, say I get impatient and get one of the current bundles by BF or XMAS. then, a few months later, they announce a standard 1TB model. you can bet I'll be kicking myself over that for not waiting a bit longer.

Thats always a risk you take, what if you wait for a standard 1TB console then a few months later they release a special 2 TB console with a free game or something? I mean like I said, something better is always around the corner, particularly when it comes to this industry.
