Xbox One to Cost $399.00 says Patcher - Banadmin - 06-04-2013
Quote:Xbox One will retail at $399 at launch, while PS4 will run you $349, according to Wedbush Morgan Analyst Michael Pachter.
GI.biz reports that Pachter made his predictions in a pre-E3 address to investors today, during which the analyst placed the PS4′s build cost per console at $275, and added that the Xbox One will cost $325 per unit.
Pachter added that Microsoft may still consider a subscription-based Xbox One model at cheaper cost, which backs up rumours of a $299 version.
In the address, Pachter added, “We believe the ability to watch live TV from a cable, telco, or satellite set-top box through Xbox One could entice an MSO to drive subscriptions through a subsidised box in exchange for a multi-year contract. The ‘always connected’ requirement for the Xbox One likely means that a broadband connection will be required, suggesting to us that ISPs may have an incentive to offer a subsidy as well.
“In addition, Microsoft could conceivably subsidise the Xbox One through prepaid Xbox Live Gold subscriptions (as it has done on a limited basis in the past) or premium Skype functionality as well. Similarly, Sony could subsidise the PS4 through prepaid PlayStation Network subscriptions, but unlike Microsoft, it does not have a history of doing so.”
What do you make of the prices above? Do they make sense or are they too expensive? Let us know below.

Pounds: Roughly the new Xbox One will cost £260.65 (probably dearer).

Thankfully, this is right in my price range, but I heard the PS4 will be cheaper. If the PS4 is free online, and has party chat, I think my gaming future resides with Sony. Though, Xbox do have certain deals with other gaming companies, which also makes me consider getting the Xbox One. They would have called it something other than the Xbox One, because now I don't know what to refer the first Xbox to. I guess "The Classic Xbox" could be a thought.

To be honest, that is quite an average price. Most consoles like PS3 Wii are quite similar to Xbox One's price.
Really willing to get the Xbox One, should be flawless.

Why not? it's quite a decent price man. You can't just let an offer like that go away. You're such a scammer :/

I would call it a con more than a offer.
Xbox One is terrible.
Stick to the thread topic

Oh damn, that's the price of the GTX 680!

If it were any higher it would be overpriced. I think this is just right for the release price. Still not buying it though.
