            No you cant get it cheaper elsewhere, thats the point its RRP. So using your logic we can also have a Microsoft store, Amazon, Telstra and Harvey Norman post as well - all charging the same price.. Why not eh

            • I Smell Pennies on 21/09/2020 - 13:03

              @garvani: All preorders or new releases have been considered a deal post on OzB, since there will most likely be no stores that are offering any lower. That being said, should a price drop, a new deal will be posted. These deal posts allow all of us to see current prices and compare. It's not like it's going to clog up the OzB feed

        Speculative scalpers.
        It's a preorder so they can just cancel if it doesn't go out of stock instantly, but if the demand is there they can be relatively sure to make a profit.
        The preorder system is basically being used as a way to reduce the risk of scalping.

        preorders went live 6am. Was taken down within 10 minutes of trying to put purchase through. Changed preorder to 3pm AEST after that. Again had some issue. Took me 20 minutes to finally get it confirmed and invoice sent.

          Xbox and PC are the same for MS - they don't care where you play. They said years ago they're committed to PC gaming and it shows when they bring all their first party titles to PC on day one.

          Most hardcore PC gamers will never buy a console anyway so they might as well bring the game to PC and get your money either way.

        Demon's Souls, but that was revealed to come to PC in their bungled trailer. So the whole Xbox is irrelevant because it has no true exclusives narrative won't last when PS games are going to PC too. I'm an Xbox and PS gamer (no PC), but the hypocrisy on the PS side really irks me. Just like how people shat on Microsoft for making their exclusives also available on Xbox One. People complained it'd just hold next get back, but turns out Sony were doing the exact same thing but basically lied saying they weren't. Let's be fair people.

          Yeah Sony has been lying a lot lately. But Demon's Souls was always exclusive to PlayStation and the "coming to PC" was a mistake. However, I wonder if other older exclusives will be on PC I'm hoping for Bloodborne.

            @Bissy: There is no way that was a mistake. How can they say 'also available on PC' on their own trailer if they have no intentions of bringing it to PC? So they have no intentions of bringing it to PC but just happened to write it in there? They're only saying it is a PS5 exclusive and won't be available anywhere else because they want the PS5 sales. Their only mistake was revealing it now. They will announce it for PC later down the line. It's pretty disingenuous.

            If you really want to play Bloodborne on PC, you can play it through PS Now. It will be through the cloud though.

              @manbearpig: You are thinking too deep into this. The tag line was for Deathloop, but who ever was writing the trailer tagline didn't change it. That's why the 4K upload on their YouTube channel was delayed because of this mistake. Demon's Souls was never released on other platforms it was only on the PS3 and now on PS5.

              Yes Sony is thinking of opening up more of their games to PC and I won't be surprised if in 2-3 years Demon's Souls is on PC. I won't call this disingenuous, it was just a mistake.

              @ozb88: Death Stranding was always going to be on PC as Kojima stated when he agreed to make the game with Sony. As I've said Sony will likely move more of their games to PC in the future. So most likely Demon's Souls will be on PC, but not right now.

                @Bissy: Kojima might have stated it, but Sony denied it which is why I don't trust when they say Demon Souls isn't coming to PC. DS and FFXVI will be timed exclusives, they're not going to miss out on millions of potential sales keeping it on a single platform. These companies want your money at the end of the day.

                  @ozb88: Sony never denied Kojima to release Death Stranding to PC. It was in his contract with Sony that Death Stranding would be on PC. Demon's Souls won't be a timed exclusive Sony never said it would be. For FFXVI that is a timed exclusive it, just like FFVII remake. Also Demon's Souls ip is owned by Sony so why would the release it on PC. Sony wants to sell both software and hardware. Unlike Xbox who wants everyone to be on gamepass.

                  Your logic here doesn't work. If it was the case, why isn't Demon Souls already on PC? Its 11 years old at this point. Why isn't Mario Kart of PS/Xbox/PC? They'd sell another 20 million copies easily. These companies know there is a hell of a lot of value in keeping content exclusive to their own platform.

                  Demon Souls will be Playstation exclusive. Its not heading to PC sorry. It was a bungled copy-paste on the YT video.

                    • Nintendo relies on hardware sales far more to make money which they actually make a big profit on. Sony and MS do not make much profit from hardware.
                    • Sony exclusives will be coming to PC, perhaps not day 1 but they will eventually land on the platform. HZD has sold ~500K copies & Death Stranding between 500K-1M on Steam, they are not going to leave that kind of money on the table - this is precisely why Miles Morales & Horizon Forbidden West are cross-gen because it will make more money in software sales.

                    After Sony saying DS was not coming to PC, and then it came to PC, not to mention all the other deceptive marketing around Miles Morales & Horizon being cross-gen, I do not trust anything they say on the matter.

                    It's not like now with PS4// Xbox one and next generation consoles which are x86 architecture . and easier to port from cuz essentially they're PC's

                    So it wasn't in Sony's interest at the time to invest money and time into that port until now to give it an exclusive for PS5.
                    Cuz enough time has passed for it to be " a fresh " take on it . And it can easily port it to PC, now that it's been made with similar hardware.

GTA IV, COD, Resident Evil 5, Bioshock Infinite, The Batman series, Skyrim, FIFA, NBA2k, Fallout. The list could go on and on. If all those games managed it, it can't be that difficult to port to/from cell architecture can it? And what about the second part of my point. If missing out on sales from multiple consoles is so bad, why are Nintendo so happy to do it? Because they know the value of exclusive content to their brand of course.

    • AlanHB on 21/09/2020 - 13:24

      For all the posturing, from a tech level they are likely to be very similar, or at least the games will perform similarly between the systems.

      With that out of the way, the question is whether you are more interested in PS exclusive games or XBOX exclusive games. That answer will dictate which system you buy.

          Is a console able to be upgraded?

          Does a console have access to the massive range of games a pc has?

          Can an console be used to do other computing?

          Does a console allow you to play online with no subscription?

          Can a console accept high end peripherals?

          That's s what I thought.

          You're a "shiny thing" person. The marketing is just too much for you to resist. You're the target market.

          Add the cost of the console and subscriptions plus games and you'll soon see that pc is far better value.

        "You will be able to pre-order Xbox All Access if:
        You already have a month-to-month mobile or fixed broadband plan.
        You take up a new month-to-month mobile or fixed broadband plan.
        (New customers must take up the new plan first. Then pre-order Xbox All Access.)"

          It's 4tflops vs 12tflops, 16gb RAM vs 10gb RAM. There will be games with enhanced graphics for X model. It will be like the PS4 vs PS4 PRO, get extra draw distance etc + 4k output. Pretty significant if you ask me!

          You have to weight it up though, as if you are aiming to keep it for a while and might get a 4k tv etc it might be worth it to spend that little bit more.

          Scroll down a bit and you will see even MS website shows the difference: https://www.xbox.com/en-AU/consoles/xbox-one

            @onlinepred: The ONLY difference between the two consoles is rendering resolution. Every graphical feature in a Series X game will be present on the Series S version of the game, only at 1440p instead of 4k.

            The link you mention isn't even for the new generation of consoles, it's the current generation.

            If you want to see the actual differences, here's the information video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYtJWIxt3-M&ab_channel=Xbox

              @bobmonkey17: I don't think you can make this much of a broad sweeping statement given that, ultimately, it's up to each individual game developers own decision as to how the capabilities of each console are utilised. One developer may decide to remove depth of blur on the Xbox Series S, in favor of hitting 120Hz at 1440p, and another developer may decide to use reduced reflection map resolution on the Series S in order to obtain better dynamic resolution.

              At the end of the day, the Series S is not simply a 1440p version of the Series X, trade offs will be made, and they won't just be in terms of render resolution. If you want a good example of this, watch Digital Foundry's interview with Codemasters about the technical decisions behind Dirt 5, and how they plan to have different quality presets for the Series S and X, it clearly goes a lot further than just resolution.

              If you want to ensure the highest quality, and graphical feature set, even if you only have a 1440p or 1080p monitor/TV, the logical choice is to go with the Series X.

        No difference in performance, only resolution dropped to 1440p. They've already shown Gears 5/Dirt 5 running at 120fps so its very capable for a $500 box.

        • onlinepred on 21/09/2020 - 13:38

          See my reply above, there is a difference in hardware performance even at 1440p

            @onlinepred: Your link goes to Xbox One?

            Digital Foundry and Microsoft have said numerous times that it's just a scaled down Series X, 1440p requires significantly less processing power, RAM, memory bandwidth etc compared to native 4K which is why 4TF & 10GB RAM is enough.

            • ycatlive on 21/09/2020 - 14:55

              @ozb88: in the US, the price difference between Series X and S is only USD $100. Can't understand why in Australia it suddenly became AUD$250.

              For extra USD $100, I think it is almost no brainer to go for Seriex X (USD $100 for extra 6 GB DDR6 ram, extra 400G of SSD storage, capable of using a physical Disc, much more powerful GPU, 4K capability, better heat dissipation case, much more potential in future VR/AR games/gears at later stage of this gen's console game development). Even if no performance difference in 1440p, USD $100 for peace of mind is worth it. Yet AUD $250 can be a different story.

                  @ozb88: oh sorry my bad. USD 200 difference make more sense..

                  i will still go for series x through…bidding there could be a major development in VR games in certain stage of this gen's console's life cycle…by then the gpu capability of series s is likely to be constrainted.

            • joshau on 21/09/2020 - 15:09

              @ozb88: I mentioned this above, but if you watch Digital Foundry's latest interview with Codemasters about the technical decisions behind Dirt 5, and how they plan to have different quality presets for the Series S and X, it clearly goes a lot further than just resolution.

              At the end of the day, it's up to each developer to decide how they want to use the graphics capabilities of each console, and I highly doubt Microsoft has a contract with each one of them saying "YOU MUST NOT DISABLE ANY GRAPHICAL FEATURES FROM THE SERIES X, ONLY REDUCE THE RESOLUTION!". More realistically, developers will be disabling features that would have otherwise been enabled on the Series X to hit frame rate and game play targets.

              As a comparison, the 5600XT is a 7TFLOP/s graphics card, and whilst I understand you can't 1:1 compare RDNA with RDNA2, it gives a good benchmark for what the Series S can optimistically deliver. Looking at a heap of benchmarks for the 5600XT, we repeatedly see that even on current gen games on high settings, it's unable to provide a consistent 60fps experience at 1440p. How you expect game developers to deliver 1440p at 120fps without any graphical sacrifices over the Series X (beyond resolution) is personally beyond me, especially given the Series S GPU is (theoretically) almost 2x slower than the 5600XT (TFLOP for TFLOP).

              I suspect the the Series S to be a largely 60fps console, with developers reserving the 120fps capabilities for the Series X. For what it's worth, the demo footage of Dirt 5 released recently on Series S (which is the only footage we've seen of it on the Series S as far as I'm aware) was only running at 60fps.

              • ozb88 on 21/09/2020 - 15:20

                @joshau: Because native 4K is absolutely brutal on GPU's? Even on current top end PC GPU's it's not worth it imo.

                You can make cases for comparing console and PC specs, but you will ALWAYS get more performance out of a console for an equivalent spec. The Xbox One X ran Gears 5 at dynamic 4K/60fps, which has a bunch of underpowered tablet CPU's and an RX580 equivalent. You would need alteast a GTX1080Ti on the PC side to be able to do that.

                Ofcourse, there will be differences and some sacrifices made with the Series S aside from resolution - that just makes sense. There's no reason to render 4K textures on the Series S when it will output 1440p, and that will reduce the required RAM, storage and memory bandwidth requirements on the system. I wonder if casual gamers would even notice or care.

                What I'm interested in is how RDNA2's DLSS 2.0 equivalent will allow for AI upscaling on the Series S and X. Playground Game have already been testing this with Forza Horizon with some great results so far, I think that will be a gamechanger like it will be on PC once more games support it.

        That's terrible value. You're basically paying $293 for 2 years worth of game pass that is like $70 elsewhere. I guess it's monthly installments vs upfront, but at a 35% premium. No deal.

      Think about this for a second… The Xbox Series S comes with a 500GB hard drive VS 1TB hard drive on the Xbox Series X

      Xbox Series S + 500GB Seagate Expandable storage = $749
      VS
      Xbox Series X = $749

      With the Xbox Series X you also get more ram, a faster GPU a 4k UHD-bluray, dvd disk drive and better resale if you do sell it off.
