Xbox One 500GB consoles price drops to $249
Microsoft has just announced that all Xbox One 500GB consoles are priced at just $249 in the U.S. The discount is available for a "limited time". This move is likely due to Microsoft wanting to clear the inventory of all the older 500GB Xbox One consoles before the upcoming smaller Xbox One S launches.
The 2TB version of the Xbox One S is scheduled to launch in early August for $399, but the launch dates for the $299 500GB version and the $349 1TB version have not been revealed.
Treat yourself to a great deal this summer! Xbox One 500GB consoles are now only $249 while supplies last.
This means any 500GB Xbox One console is $249, including the Gears of War: Ultimate Edition bundle, the Special Edition Quantum Break bundle with white console, and the Name your Game bundle, which allows you to choose a full game download of one of four blockbuster titles: Forza Motorsport 6, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, or Rare Replay.
With blockbusters like Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3, ReCore, and Madden NFL 17 on the way, a growing number of Xbox 360 classics playable on Xbox One, and Xbox Live, the most advanced multiplayer network, everything you love about summer is even better with Xbox One.

I don´t understand why ppl are so anti console.
LOL still cheaper then a ****ing GPU.
For a good gaming u need to spend atleast 800 Bucks or Euros...
I love my PS4 and as former PC Gamer I don´t regred to go to Console. More fun, less problems, less expensives overall and better "gaming feeling" like playing FPS in a Controler, Vibration feedback is another level...
I miss the old days of good PC gaming... it was a way better the a Console but today that isn´t anymore true and most gamers know that the diferences between Console and PC are slim at best!
XBOX One is kinda a fail but for 249 Euros with 2 Games (atlest here in Portugal) its for sure a good investment... better then spend all alone in a GPU LOL!

I'm just going to stop you right there....
...you, i just...i can't. You hear the thing about the world being flat? But you know it's not? Now try having someone try and convince you that it is flat. They fully 100% believe the world is flat, and there are edges that you can fall off on.
Your statement, right there? Yup, you just said the world is flat.

Nah.It's obvious that he saw the light.
CS pros should hear him and limit their PC graphical performance to remain sub 30 FPS and use a game pad instead of a mouse+keyboard.
An usb (or BT)controlled massage chair could add the vibration to round the experience.
Finally the fabled "next gaming level" only reachable on consoles could be somewhat (badly) emulated on a inferior platform like the PC.
LOL
Seriously, FPS played ON Consoles?
Markus Persson said it all so i can only link to my previous post quoting his tweet comment about DOOM played on consoles:

I wouldn't pay 2.49 let alone 249!
I would literally buy 100 if they were $2.49
You have no idea what you're missing.
In case this is news to anyone, there is room in the average household for both a PC ( or many) AND an xbox ( or more!). Crazy!

I'm not really a fanboy I don't think, the last console I owned was an NES and a second hand Genesis in '99 - well past it's real use. I've had a PC though from '88 to present.
Anyways, loving what the Xbox One has brought me and it even makes my PS4 friends want to trade-in for "one" of their own.
I fully intend to swap it out for a "scorpio" once they're out. There's the living room, and there's MY space.. with the PC.

Does the $249 include the money you need to pay to play the multiplayer portion of video games?

And turn on aim assist.

Making gaming more accessible can't be a bad thing. BC just sweetens the deal.

That stuff is insane. I tried BO3 beta and was wondering why am I bothering at all. It was aiming for me as long as I pointed in the general direction of an enemy :-|

I'm currently speccing a new box for work and play, and want to play 2 games MXGP2 and UFC 2.
But UFC 2 is PS4 and XBox only.
I'm not a pro or hard core gamer. If that price cut also makes it to Europe, I'm tempted. For the cost of RX 480 8GB or GTX 1060 that I planned on buying, I can play both games and take all gaming away from my work PC.
Too bad that it's only the 500GB model.
And when are the new gen XBox and PS due?
