Xbox new 'starter bundle'

[historia]

Changed a few things around and got this:

5500 XT 8 GB GDDR6 ($105) (similar pixel fillrate, texture fillrate of Series S GPU, higher TF, more RAM bandwidth for GPU)​

​

Veineda 8 GB DDR4 ($27)​

​

Samsung 980 500 GB SSD ($45)​

​

AsRock A520M-HDV Micro-ATX AM4 ($69)​

​

AMD Ryzen 3700 8C/16T ($105)​

Those are the main components...a bit around $350. With casing, fan, PSU, cooler and controller would probably be around $450 for something somewhat above Series S in performance (more RAM, more GPU RAM, faster SSD, better CPU, more capable GPU).

The benefit with this approach being, you'd have a true PC gaming box, will full Windows (or Linux) driver support, full freedom for various storefronts, and if you want it, VR compatibility. Something Microsoft still won't offer to its own Xbox customers.

to be fair you could say the same thing for the ps5 too. At the same day, it is the ease of use that matter...

I think the Potato is a big compromise for console experience, will prob gimp the whole experience for other consoles too.

Just search around, I think it should be around approximately 350USD.

I think PC price is cheaper in US so....

Solid build. I'd get this PC over a console any day. Maybe a better PSU and case to accomodate for a better GPU in a couple of years.

You can already see where they're going with that picture, showing first party games and some trash tier third parties.

Their subscription service will be first party only in no time.

Series S is trash! But it's their biggest seller so good move on them.

No its not, people only bought the s when the x was not in stock. Series S is the xbox 360 tard pack all over again. Noone wants it.

Its trash and the split is that S has sold more than X although sakes are shifting. It is what it is, the X being limited in stock was tremendous bs and Microsoft kept running with tht narrative to make it seem like it wasnt tht ppl didn't give a fuck about the X. Ppl don't gaf about neither with their low hardware sales.

Xbox has now announced a new bundle starting October 31st this is obviously to get rid of all their old 512gb series S models & includes the 512 GB series S 3 months of gamepass & a wireless controller for $299

Really, really odd to announce a controller which is in the box by default

They want to make it sound like there's an extra controller probably I mean everyone knows when you get a console it comes with a controller no one's going to buy a console that doesn't come with a controller

 

[Alabtrosmyster]

It would need 10 years of gamepass for me to consider it.... maybe, if it was 299$ Canadian dollars, including all taxes.

 

[arvfab]

It's still 400$ too much.


I have a better Xbox starter pack for you:
