Hendo Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 This might be the time that they finally pull the trigger on following the phone model. Pay a little bit more a month than a GamePass subscription to get that and the Xbox on contract for a year and then when the contract runs out, encourage you to keep your sub. It's not like it'll be worth much to sell on if you have no physical games to sell with it, nor can they be used on it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 They've done the phone contract model in America @Hendo no idea how it did for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Yeah I remember that happening and wondering how it went. I don’t think this will be that, but that’s the smarter way to sell a disc-less console, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboxy Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Price dependent I can see this doing well. I'd be tempted at the £125-150 mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much is one with a drive nowadays, can't be much more than that 2nd hand can it? Also I was thinking like £70. Yours is probably more realistic though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboxy Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 @DANGERMAN at £70 it would fly off the shelves. If it comes with a 1tb hd and a controller, that's probably £70 worth of stuff there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not expecting that, that's just where I think it needs to be to sell well, sub £100 at least. That said, what do I know, I'm not a financial analyst it could fly out at £130, for me though that's too close to something that offers you more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I'd totally do the phone contract thing for one. £15 a month with Gamepass, Gold and the box (I dunno how much that stuff costs separately btw)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Obviously the price overall goes down if you pay a year, but currently it’s something like 8 quid a month for each. I could see a minimum of 25 a month for the first year. Then hike the price up (minus the cost of the machine) once the contract runs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see a sub £100 pounds price point being doable but, like you say, what do we know. I think we're just coming at it from different angles. I'd sell it cheap to encourage subs, a bit like Amazon do with their Fire stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Master Chief Collection is coming to PC, available on Steam, which is surprising. Adding the games one by one, so they must still be struggling to make it work. Also they're adding Reach to the collection. This makes things a little awkward for someone. Reach campaign will be paid DLC if you bought the game on Xbox, multiplayer will be on there for free. GamePass version will have everything, as will the PC version. Also, Minecaft coming to GamePass on the 4th of April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 It's not the simplest of solutions. If you have the game on download or disc, Reach multiplayer will available. Campaign will be DLC. GamePass version will have everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Reflex Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 No. It's based around Noble 6. Same with ODST, you just play a Orbital Drop Ship Trooper there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
