There's gonna be a lot of SAD kids in Spain this Christmas.
Pretty good price to be honest.
Yes sure, and will still be below other systems by a lot.
Great price, but releasing the normal Xbox One S for this much would make it fly off the shelves. A $149 console with backwards compatibility and a 4K Blu-ray player? Sign everyone up. To be fair, a $149 Xbox One S would probably be sold at a loss. At the very least, it would barely make a profit from the hardware sale alone.
Just wonder how many people just see the deal of a price and won't realize until later that it is an all digital system and won't take a physical game disc. Great deal though.
I'd only consider it a good price if I already considered the product good. And I don't think I can bring myself to see this machine that way.
Well, looks like that is the sweet spot. I really hope MS decides to drop the price permanently at the beginning of next year.
Whilst $199.99 ps4 with 3 games is sold out at most of big retailers (target, amazon, Best Buy and Walmart), there plenty of SAD Edition available everywhere.
But yeah it will increase the Xbox one Sales dramatically.
