    Have PS4 Pro and XB1S (and PC), I hardly play XB1S, mostly play PS4 Pro or PC. Most XB1 games have PC equivalent.

    I know XB1X is more powerful than PS4 Pro, but for some reason, not that interested (unless there is a bargain deal).

      I am kinda the opposite.
      Have had Playstations since the original, the xbox x has my interest though and maybe the next console istead of the PS Pro.

        I have them all. My PC is for multi-platform titles, PS4 Pro is for Naughty Dog/Santa Monica Studios/Guerrilla Games, Switch is for Mario/Zelda games and XB1S is a 4K Bluray player.

      Coming from someone who has played Xbox/Playstation/PC for the last 16 or so years, here is what I recommend (money willing, in order of priority) pick bases on game interests.

      1: Mid-high end PC. Nearly everyone will spend 500-700 on a regular PC, might as well put that towards a gaming PC. Since you already have a PC, play your muliplat games on there (unless friends are on console). A PC can play all games, no need to rely on backcompat. What about a switch to play that Zelda game? Emulator my friend, 4k 60fps. oh…and mods.

      2: Standard Xbox/Ps4: This is to see which you prefer. Also to sample the exclusive games. Most PS4 exclusives are third person cinematic action games as well as my favorites ratchet and clank, and crash bandicoot ( I love those games). Xbox has Halo (which sucks now) Gears 4 (which is good) and Forza…which is getting repetitive (they arent innovating, why not allow us to make our own GT cars??) and way too expensive with DLC. IMO, xbox has the better multimedia/online system, exclusives are up to taste (Ps4 higher in number), but as a PC gamer Xbox has more unique games (there are many games similar to or better than the sony exclusives on steam imo) but less of them. Halo 5 was meant to be a console seller but flopped. Gears and forza cant carry xbox on their own, however with the "play anywhere" makes it perfect for family sharing (which is what I do, I play on PC, and share my game and gold with my brothers who play on same digital copy on console, we then play horder together in gears 4).

      3: From the above, you can decide if it is worth "upgrading" your console, or sticking to pc. If you were to chose between PS4 Pro and Xbox one X. IMO? Xbox one X is not worth it at the moment. The Pro is because there are a lot of exclusives enhanced by it. For Xbox, there is no point as the exclusives are few in number and wont be worth the $600 investment on a single console as opposed to a PC upgrade which will benefit all your games.

      Apologies for the very long post, but wanted to ensure it was detailed so it can benefit as many people as possible who are scratching their head.

        Your advice just plain sucks.

        1. Emulators for recent consoles are non-existent, or not very capable. Good luck getting a Wii U emulator never mind the Switch, but by all means give the scammers your email address and payment details. That won't end badly at all will it.
          https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/5z4si0/beware_of…

        2. Buy a standard just to find out which one you like?!? Why not work it out by having a play at a mates house, looking at some Youtube videos etc. If you're after a higher end console, buying the standard then upgrading to what you like is a waste of money. Just do your research, pick one and buy the damned thing if you're after a high end one. If you're not interested in the exclusives either console will do.

        Better advice would be to get a PC if you have a lot of money and care about that last 10% of detail. Or you're into serious simulation. Or you have other uses for a high end PC than playing games.

        Personally I just wish I still had time for gaming.

          Yeh…no. There literally is an emulator that runs breath of the wild at 4K 60, and that is the only game that most PC gamers would want to buy a console for. Further, do you seriously believe that garbage in the post you linked? Do real research next time.

          Next, you do not need a lot of money for PC's, that is just you being ill informed. Did you even read my main point there?

          Finally, I am advising to buy the standard versions as the "upgraded" (not "high end consoles" lol) are expensive. Internet research won't help as it's about experience, and most people are biased one way or the other so won't give you a proper rundown. I did not say to try it at a friends house as not everyone has friends that game, and if they did they may not have the games said person is interested in trying.

          You only claim my advice "sucks" because you do not agree with it.

          …and that's before we start talking about the legality of running an emulator which would need software you could only get from Nintendo.

          The irony of you telling me to do research is breath-taking.

          A high end graphics card for a PC is going to cost you more than a console and a middle of the road graphics card isn't going to give you enough advantage over console to justify the spend.

          I'm not going to bother arguing with you. You basically suggested someone buy a PS4 and Xbox One to see if they wanted a Pro or a One X because people might not having gaming friends. Well even then you can literally walk into a target or Big W and try out the console if there's one near by.

          You're right about one thing: I disagree with your advice.

          Yes, the can emulators run better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDva0u0nZhk vid here shows fix/patch for 60fps. Considering it is still in early stages, this is pretty good compared to other emulators ive seen.

          You are making claims without anything to back them up, and you are getting worked up for no reason at all. How about you re-read everything and see how wrong you've been from the start?

          WHAT COMPLETE GARBAGE. There is no such thing as a machine that will play all games. Have you ever heard of a compatibility list? Have you looked at the compatibility list for Cemu?

          Emphasis mine this time. What the hell is unclear about that? Why do I have to keep repeating that you did in fact state it. It's very clear that you said an emulator to replace Zelda on the Switch. The Wii U was not mentioned AT ALL. Let me guess. That's not what you meant to say. To save time, why don't you actually say what you meant to say so that I can actually respond to that.

          Yes so much for me letting you have the last word. I didn't expect it to be so absurd.

        • Ahbal on 23/09/2017 - 09:49

          @syousef:

          If a game does not work on PC, most of the time there are guides showing you how to fix it. Games like the one you used are one of them. Found one in a minute of google searching. Either way, it is better than a console in that regard, as you don't have to wait for devs to give the sign off. For example, I still play classic NFS games (like Underground 2) on the pc, with mods and high res patches, as well as other classics like KoTor 1 and 2. Can your Xbox One and PS4 do that? No? That's my point. PCs have access to a wider an older game library…games as old as the classic dooM. Sure, a few minority of games may not work, however that does not discount the rest of them.

          Again, the point of the emulator was emphasising you did not need a switch. Because you can use the Wii emulator to play it at better performance than the switch, I explained that already. Not that there is a specific switch emulator.

          You still seem to be approaching this with an angry vibe.

      Yeah, main reason for getting XB1S is for 4K Blu-ray support.

      The biggest issue for me with XB1X is that it is going to compete with my PC (which has SSD and better graphics card). I have more PC games than XB1 + PS4 games combined.

      I did buy XB1 exclusive games (ones only available on XB1, not available on PC), but there aren't that many and most of them are old games.

      Some people feel that this is XB1X vs PS4 Pro. However, for me, it is XB1X vs PC.

    How much faster will the X be for load times I wonder? Maybe it will be smoother even at lower resolutions because of how many teraflops it has. Just thinking of reasons that I'd need to upgrade from the S.

    • albert0pia on 21/09/2017 - 23:56

      Load times wouldn’t be anything to write home about, unless the storage controller has been upgraded to SATA III. I’d suggest that you sit this one out. It is bound to get cheaper around Xmas anyway. The One S is still a very capable console.

      Not worth the $ to go from a s to an X. I personally can't even see the reason to go from a standard to the X unless it halves in price, maybe if an s is insanely cheap like 150-200 I'll make a jump for 4k, the X just falls short in vàlue imo.

      • Trickey on 22/09/2017 - 14:12

        It really depends. As newer games come out utilising newer engines you'll start to see a larger gap.

        I'm hoping the introduction of more powerful consoles in the same generation ends the whole console game library replacement routine. Firmware updates will keep the operating software in the game for as long as required and it also means developers don't need to constantly reinvest in whole new system API's.

        So much of this makes sense rather than launching a new next-gen console. It's a great move by both Sony and Microsoft. Hopefully they continue the tech refreshes coming over time.

      • sallan75 on 22/09/2017 - 22:47

        Double the price and 4 times as powerful. Seems pretty good in my book.

        • Slippery Fish on 23/09/2017 - 07:09

    One consideration some people are over looking here is that although the One X is designed with 4k in mind, it will render graphics at 1080p better/faster. This means you won't drop frames anymore when there is a lot of action happening in-game.

    This would be similar to upgrading to a better graphics card in a PC but keeping the same screen for now and running at the same resolution (eg 1080p).

    There is a huge price difference here if you have a 4k screen it's a no brainer, if you don't, a One S is more than adequate.

    However if you are like me and want to future proof, and/or take advantage of the improved handling of in game graphics now, spend the extra.

      Seems to be selling very well. Good luck with your next salty troll.

    To be fair..i highly doubt you will get cheaper as a pre order.

    My Xbox One just died and I've been meaning to pre order this so good deal for me. As a bonus I had $100 Xbox credit from the g2g deal posted on ozbargain years ago I totally forgot about. Bonsa

    Ps4 has the best exclusives but microsoft try harder

    Sorry I fail to see any deal here.

    • Clear on 22/09/2017 - 07:56

      It's $612.70 with Cashrewards increased cashback? Did you forget to read the post? That's cheaper than the other retailers.

    • fattyboombatty on 22/09/2017 - 08:38

      trouble is Cashrewards is not a given - I can see the hesitation
      personally I wouldn't bank on CR - it's a nice bonus but it's too flakey to be dependable

        They have a cashback guarantee meaning that as long as you've clicked on the store through Cashrewards, you will get the cashback.

        Knowing affiliate networks - adblock, AVs clearing cookies and clicking on OzBargain links without being signed in are the usual culprits.

  • MattyAu on 22/09/2017 - 12:08

    Just a note OP, the MS payout for Cashrewards is based on the net price (excluding GST), so the cash back will be $33.04 ($590 x 5.6%). Therefore the total cost = $615.96.

    Major difference between microsoft and playstation is digital receipting.

    With playstation I always get a receipt- with microsoft sometimes.

    You wanna argue with Microsoft without a receipt - that's funny.

    How do microsoft pay tax properly without giving receipts anyway? Curious

      you should contact Microsoft helpdesk because that's not right. When I digitally purchase a game I get emailed a receipt and its added to the purchase history tally in my Microsoft account too.

    But do you get a receipt for every digital code you input because I don't?

    Purchasing from your account with money gives you a receipt, but not codes like with playstation - there is only direct purchase history with xbxox

    indirect is treated differently. And what about games with gold? My playstation email is full of digital receipts - my microsft account isn't.

    Look at those negs for confirmation of a factual difference.

    You can enter codes on xbox, have them accepted, and the content later disappear. The only way to get anywhere with microsft is to keep the code cause you don't always get a receipt.

    Microst are always in your account tinkering groove music fallout 4 are well known here and there are many others. Microsoft are indifferent to customer care, if a licence disappears by mistake you have to prove it.

      I have no idea what you are talking about. MS always email a record of your purchase. I have never noticed anything go missing and never noticed people talking about things like this on any forum I participate in.

    Anyone got a link to the actual deal? It isn't showing up for me on the Amex site

  • alexcanton on 29/10/2017 - 01:07

    Did this offer expire?

    • skatoz on 04/11/2017 - 00:43

      It still seems to be active. There is also a cashrewards offer of up to 5% cashback on XB1X preorders: https://www.cashrewards.com.au/coupons/xbox-one-x-pre-orders…
      This could bring the price down to $649-(590*0.05)CR-$100AMEX=$520.

      • alexcanton on 04/11/2017 - 13:08

        It doesn't show up on my Amex account? I have an essentials card from them..

        • skatoz on 04/11/2017 - 15:44

          Not sure about that particular Amex or maybe the Amex offer limit has been met since I signed up for the offer.

          Apologies for the 5% cashback, I was wrong, I've just checked my CR account and got only 1.4% cashback ($8). The CR link is confusing as it shows XB1X preorder and up to 5% cashback. Did not realise the offer was actually just about the XBX1 preorder while "up to 5%" refers to their generic Microsoft cashback which amounts to 1.4% for game consoles at the moment.
