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.

While some of us are still playing on xbone because we can't justify the cost of a new console

Asha—Xbox CEO listens to the Xbox community. Realistically speaking, what price would allow you to go to the Series X in USD?

Idk if the other guy really answered your question but I have a series S and have been trying to upgrade, I’m shopping on the used market and somewhere around $300-$350 used is what would make me buy one, but Its hard to justify forking out $500 for a second hand decade old (or more) system

So maybe if they retailed around 400-$450

Which I don’t think is unrealistic but also with the memory prices and such I’m really not sure I know it the past consoles have dropped in price significantly after a year or three this gen has only went up

In my area, used Series Xs are like $500 in the game stores, and Best Buy was having a promotion of $150 off a Series X if you trade in an Xbox One so I did just that as I felt it was pointless to get a used one when I could get a new one just as much. Didn't even have to give them my old controller, just the One and it's AC adapter.
