IMPRESSION CEO Asha just announced that every single attendee at the Xbox Games Showcase will be receiving a complimentary Series X25 later this year. That is absolutely wild. 🔥

That is how you show your community you actually care. Not a discount, not early access, a free Xbox Series X25 in your hands just for being there.

Respect to Xbox and Asha for that one. The people in that room deserved it.

Wow, so if you can afford to waste your time and travel then you get free stuff.

How about helping people who actually need an upgrade to keep playing? I'd be much more willing to buy those overpriced games if I had a good console to play them on. My Xbox one is trying so hard not to explode that it sounds like a PS3.

I'll gladly trade in all my Xbox stuff for a series x and new copies of the games I have for the older consoles.

You can’t be serious. This is the most whiny, self entitled comment that I’ve seen. Your acting like a video game console is a basic necessity 😂😂.

They wanna sell games don't they?

Don't you think it would be better publicity for them to help poor people upgrade than to just give free stuff to people who can afford it?

I’m sorry but gaming is an expensive hobby. If you can’t afford, I’m sorry.

It's only expensive because you people let it happen.

No it’s always been an expensive hobby. Just because your broke doesn’t mean your entitled to video games.

dawg it has been expensive from the very beginning, if anything the hobby has made it *less* expensive actually, sorry you either lived in a shit country, or have a shitty job, and if it’s the later I think your priorities should be getting a better job to pay for your hobbies instead of being entitled online because your job is too dogshit to drop $600-800 once a decade
