I hope so, but there is no point in one. If MS continues with the trend of PC releases (personally all I miss to sell my X1 is Gears 4) there is no reason to own an Xbox for any PC gamers. I will be getting PS4 Neo and whatever comes next and every new PlayStation, but Sony offers me games that I cant play on my PC. MS has Windows, all they need now is some sort of Xbox service, imagine paying for Xbox Gold on your PC and that allows you to play every X1 game on your PC! I believe that xbox is going to be a service in future and Xbox consoles just something for people to use their living room ala Steam Box.

now what is this supposed to mean. not funny, cruel and a bit offensive, if the xbox one price ever drops to 300$ in Syria it would be a 3 month salary for an over average Syrian not to forget the price of games and the DRM activation which requires internet broadband, another luxury very few may enjoy :3eyes: so those who wanna can't buy it, those who can are way tooo smart want to buy one, most are PC hardcore Gamers 🤓

Well it leaves option for people without gaming pcs 🙂 And truth is MS makes all the money on the software not the hardware.

You just said that Internet is a luxury and most people make 100$ a month, so how do you have broadband and money for 980Ti? (And i know how stuff priced in the ME, 980Ti is at least 1K USD) Let me guess, your family works for the "government"?

Keep your stupid politics out of this, you are not raising the conversation quality one bit.

Honestly, there's exactly zero reason to bring up Syria in a Xbone thread. $299 is decent, I wonder what it'll cost in the UK. I'll go check now. If it's £249, I might even be tempted for the odd exclusive. Just checked. Seems like some places are selling it for £239. There's some good 3 game bundles for £279 (Forza, Halo 5 and TR). Not bad at all.
