with size of many games being 40gb+ , and with fre games from gold, the 500gb units fill up very quick, and you don't delete due to time and hassle of downloading again. even with the 1tb you will get an external drive, i got a seagate 2.5" 3tb from office works for $110, and 2tb are often $99, so value in the extra 500gb is limited as it is so easy to add an external drive.
Agree. I got the 500gb recently. 1tb at this price is a no brainer.
If your gold membership expires do you retain these freebie games?
I believe on the PS3 these games would disappear without a valid PSN subscription.you get to keep them BUT without membership you can't authenticate so they don't work…. so membership isn't just about free games …. you need to keep subscribing to play ………
we also have a ps4, and was looking at ps plus but before you know it even with bargain subscriptions it's $110 pa to feed 2 consoles.
@garage sale: Are you sure about that? (Asking as someone who hasn't had a console for about 8 years but was thinking of getting one). The ad says "Xbox Live Gold subscription required for online play." Which almost implies that without gold you can keep playing just not playing online.
@nzcoops: At the snail's pace that I get through my video game collection it is more cost effective to pickup the old games for $5 each on ebay as opposed to maintaining a premium subscription service that I invariably won't (have time to) use.
Good price, just the bundle games isn't that good. CDkeys has fifa 17 for $17 and AC Unity for $3. I just wish they swap the fifa with Forza.
Well, the deals start coming and they won't stop coming
Place your bets for scorpio pricing.
$599 with 1 game
$449 U.S Dollars
after the Australian tax that will be, $10000 AUD
'Xbox One X'.
They should've pissid on SONY and Nintendo, and just gone ahead and made the Xbox Two:
CPU: 4 Core/8 Thread, 3.0GHz (based on Ryzen 1500X)
Memory: 6GB DDR4-2400
Memory (Video): 6GB GDDR5-2000 (8GHz)
GPU Specs: "Fake 10TFlops" rating, Actual 5TFlops (FP32), 1,200MHz, RX 580-based
Storage (OS/Game Engine/User Settings): Non-removable SSD, 128GB, M.3-NVME 500MBps
Storage (User Media/Game Assets): Removable HDD, 1TB, 2.5" SATA3 5200rpm
PSU: 240W (actual draw 40W-180W)
Features: USB-C ports, a 4K-BR player
Retail: US$499 (priced equal or slight loss)Performance?
Less noise, heat, and consumption than PS4 Pro.
Whilst hitting 60fps (unlike PS4 Pro's 30fps).
Actually running native 2160p resolution (unlike PS4 Pro's 1440p).
And at a small modification to Graphical Settings to High, HDR and FXAA (unlike PS4 Pro's Very High, Checkboard, MLAA).
…
…basically rivalling a mid-range Gaming PC as opposed to PS4 Pro's low-end performance. These are consoles both companies expect to serve this target quality for at least until 2022, meaning SONY comes up quite short.**may have been wise to sell the Xbox One S in even smaller form-factor (smaller than PS4 Slim), get rid of the BR drive, replace the 2.5" HDD bay with a 3.5" HDD bay, and market it for Download/Online only console. Perhaps keep the pricing but include a 6month free XBL Gold membership with each unit, or make it $50 cheaper US$249.
better still just get steam games, much cheaper, we have the console for multiplayer when kids come around, when it's just my son it's the PC and steam.
Only a matter of time until "Xbox Triple X"
Pricing was just revealed at $499 USD. Direct conversion is about $660AUD. So… might be a little pricey at launch
(profanity). that.
Australian pricing is AU$649.
It's actually slightly cheaper than expected.If you wanted more, blame the exchange rate and GST.
Btw, it's been known for a year by some of us that it was going to be named the Xbox One X, retail for US$499, and release in November 2017. It's just now become official/embargo lifted at E3. The hardware is still a let-down though, they're definitely making profits from each unit.
@Kangal: $649 AUD is actually better than I was expecting and pretty reasonable considering the exchange rate. Now we see how long I make do with my One S before I crack under pressure and upgrade lol
There is literally no reason to buy an X, it's going to have next to no exclusive games so I struggle to see many picking it over the ps4 especially considering the price difference.
@bloobat: I can see plenty of reasons to buy an X since I have a back-catalogue of Xbox games both digital and physical, a few controllers and I love Halo and Forza - so being able to play them in 4k HDR is a pretty big incentive to me. Also one of the main reasons I got an S was for the 4k drive since my area is terrible internet wise and NBN is only slated to maybe come here at the end of 2018
@nytrojen: you do realise it's only certain games that support 4k HDR not every game and certainly not BC games
@bloobat: Yes I do. My points are still valid though aren't they? Forza 7 and Halo Wars 2 both confirmed to be 4k and HDR and it's a pretty safe bet that upcoming Halo games will support it.
You do realise that not everyone else wants a PS4?
@nytrojen: I'm not saying you need a ps4 I'm saying the One X is dead on arrival as it's got no unique selling point.
If you want the most and highest rated exclusive m games you go playstation, if you want portability as well as great exclusives you go Nintendo, if you want Halo or Gears you get the One S which is a fraction of the price.
I appreciate you specifically may want it but I'm just saying as a whole I think it's to sell pretty horrendously.
@bloobat: Why do people buy consoles based on exclusives only? What if you don't even play any of those exlcusives?
I like Xbox mainly for its controller and I found in the past the online community is better
@Danstar: the online community varies by game. That said the xbox community seems younger as whenever I've played online it's been alot of kids whereas when I play ps online it's been mostly adults though ofc like I said it deoends on the game too
Woah AC unity, now that's a bundle
Black Flag didn't do it for you already?
yeah $3.50 value as download code on g2a.com.
Wow, that's like triple what I paid!!
True ozbargain spirit! Lol
I dislike all of those games :(
This is a great deal, I'm almost out of room on my 500gb Xbox one so I've been looking at ssd drives but it's probably better to get this deal and just give my old Xbox one to someone in my family.
Hi Cousin
hi dad
Just a thought though, why size of 500GB or 1TB gives an extra?? I mean, why should I need 1TB ??
Better to have more space to store games and not need it than to need the extra space and not have it, wouldn't you agree?
most games seem to be 40 GB +, some are 60GB. the time to download and patch is longggg, even with disc needs to update and patch. So you probably don't want to delete and have to download again…. especially if you have slow internet connection or metered e.g. rural satellite .
You can copy games off the 500GB drive onto an external drive, so use it like an archive with your current stuff on the 500GB…. so you have the AC3 40GB on the archive drive.
wish xbox was like ps4 …. pull out old drive, put in new drive format and presto ….2TB ps4 with a $90 upgrade. ….. xbox ….. forget it ….. too hard to swap internal drive…. use external.
This is what scares me about gaming in 2017; The file sizes are positively enormous!
I remember when you could fit a whole game on a single 1.4mb floppy disk.
Internet bandwidth and storage capacity must keep up with gaming advancements or it will be all for nothing if you can't even get the darn thing running.
Lol my xbox s chewed the 500g in no time now i have the external 2tb no more deleting games as it takes ages to install not mentioning the updates even with nbn
XBox One X announced, release date Nov 7th at $649 AU.
That's twice the price for being able to play the same games but on a 3 to 4 times more powerful console, with UHD player and liquid cooling.
If you have a 4K TV, I'd suggest waiting.
You can always sell the s though, when the x launches. Surely you couldn't lose anymore than $50-$75.
True, assuming you can sell it with tons of other people doing the same.
don't think it will be tons selling to upgrade, need compelling games to justify dropping $300 on an upgrade, and if they remaster the games, will you need yo buy new version of the disc to get better graphics, or if code, will it just patch …… lots of things to consider if you already have a console, unless you have cash to splash or don't have a console yet.
True, though things I guess to consider:
- Microsoft said they are launching with 22 exclusive games, which is a fair amount I reckon. All capable of True 4k, with HDR and at 60fps. 1080p screen will benefit from Super Sampling.
- Microsoft stated over 35 older games will be patched to support the new hardware and offer True 4k. They expect more will be patched too.
- All the games that aren't patched but have frame drops should now run silky smooth at whatever they are locked at. It'll also remove frame tearing, so V-Sync will be enabled and forced on.
- Those games not patched but utilise dynamic resolutions should benefit as those games lower resolution when fps drop, with extra power they won't drop frames so highest resolution available will be utilised.
- Xbox One X will force on Antistropic Filtering at 16x, to improve image quality. So games with Bilenear, Trilenear or Antistropic filtering of just 4x will now be forced at 16x. This includes 360 games.
- It'll boost 360 emulated games appparently too. So if any 360 games have frame rate drops, they shouldn't now.
- Games will load faster due to faster CPU, higher bandwidth Hard Drive and if any game doesn't utilise the faster 8GB of RAM available (previously 5GB) the extra 3GB spare will be used as a IO cache, storing files so the HDD doesn't need to keep being accessed.
As such, this console, if it lives up to it's claims will be awesome. Even for those with an XBox One.
Don't care about 4k, save $350.
Yep, there are advantages but not $350 worth of advantages in my eyes.
I wished the Xbox One X had the library that PS4 has… I'm in need of another PS4 and I can't get myself to buying the PS4 Pro.
Hold on until Sony have their e3 briefing.. I smell a price drop on the cards!
Yeh will definitely be dropping the pro's price though I'd imagine not a huge amount seeing as the X is so expensive, they really have no need to.
You're right, they don't need to but it would definitely help sway consumers when November 7th rolls around. Or better yet, do the price drop from the end of September
Microsoft Store has some 1TB bundles for $349 with 2 games but the battlefield bundle is out of stock
https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/store/collections/xboxdeals?… _2FreeGames_12062017
Run out sale on the S, the X was just released.
Is this unit wifi ? Or you need a. Adapter ?
Wifi is built in.
hmmm thats nice, pretty tempting, can i pick this up tommrow? i work next to jb :-)
Sold my xbox one s and forza 6 games just before the announcement. Xbox one s vakue will be in a freefall now. Lucky me!
Question then ramble.
Q: Does anyone know what the day one update download size is for the xbone S?
I'm confused why there is so much hype over the one X. From what I read it plays the same games as the S, just some will have better graphics at 4K.
Does the one S have bad graphics?
Will there be games it cannot play that the one X will?The design is beautiful and price very good.
For reference I still use my x360 on a HD TV or game with a nvidia 635m laptop :) I presume this would be better, yes?Does the one S have bad graphics?
No, the X will have better graphicsWill there be games it cannot play that the one X will?
NoI presume this would be better, yes?
Yes
is this deal still on?? i couldnt find it on JB website. it says only $329 but no FREE Games
Halo Wars 2 has the expansion Flood game coming out, so that might be a good bundle.
Seems to be expired, went on today and the staff had no clue, the link does not work either.
It seems it was taken offline early. Interestingly if you add an xbox one 1TB console to the cart and add the Halo Wars 2 game, it is added as a free game.
These deals don't stop coming. I think for an extra $60 this is better than the BIGW deal - extra 500gb + 2 additional games.
Edit: This deal also has the 3 months Stan which is nice bonus. However, shipping costs are not included with this bundle as it is online only. More like $339?
