Also have one in my cart for best buy but cant get to enter payment details page. I spend so many thousands of dollars at Best Buy every year that I’m legit upset I got 5 consoles in total, ALL through other sites. It’s like Best Buy was trying to protect me from myself now all of a sudden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3rd gen xbox is called xbox one? What do we call the actual xbox one? Oh ok, I guess I can get used to saying "original xbox". Sure whatever. Ok so now there's an xbox one S, cool. And now an xbox one X? Whatever just bring on the next gen already! Oh sweet it's finally here! Awesome, what's it called? The xbox series X and the xbox series S? Alright, GFY Microsoft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been in a difficult naming position because they didn't want xbox 2, when playstation 3 was out. Xbox 3 when playstation 4 was out, etc. But it really could have been better then it is.

The should of went with roman numerals less basic then playstation and slightly less confusing. No slight on xbox I think they did a good job so far with this generation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of potential issues though, I can see people buying the wrong console. I can see parents buying games along with digital edition consoles, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say "ONE" is discontinued, you mean the standalone "ONE" in the name. Example: Does not exist... XBox One DOES exist... XBox One S; XBox One X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if people want to game on XBox, the ONLY option they have is to buy one of the new "Series" consoles... that will be scarce availability (along with PS5 and Switch) for the next 2ish years.... lovely.

Didn't sound right to me either and would be unprecedented so I looked it up and it turns out he was wrong after all. The One S will still continue to be manufactured... https://www.theverge.com/2020/7/16/21327330/microsoft-xbox-one-x-s-digital-edition-discontinued 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize it was just the digital edition. It'll probably be like 149.99-199.99 now I imagine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should list that, my unopened controller, and unopened/unscratched 1 year Gold membership for at least $300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be astronomically stupid for someone to buy the one s at 300. Guess the price drop wouldn't go into effect until like November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
