it's 2 more than PS4 Pro

[Violent Delights]

50%, nice.

[GardenSirens]

it should be awesome. I'll be eager to see what it looks like, a firm release date and of course, its pricing.

[Violent Delights]

$500, they seem to think.

[GardenSirens]

I don't think it'll be that much. Powerful as it may be, the key is affordability. If not everyone can afford it, it's not going to sell.

[Violent Delights]

well unless they want to make a loss, the components suggest that.

Scorpio made simple: the next Xbox's tech explained; Eurogamer.net

What's it called? When's it out? What does it look like? How much will it cost? We either weren't told, or can't tell you. Sorry. This was a tech reveal. We assume those details are being saved for E3. There's some good stuff in here though, promise. Come on, give us a hint! The form factor of the console will pleasantly surprise you. As for cost, Microsoft told us absolutely nothing - but looking at what's in it, it ain't going to be cheap. Our guess, and it is just a guess, is $499, the same launch price as the original Xbox One.

$499 is the regular price for an XB1 here in Australia! So it'll be something more like $699 or more for us considering that my Nintendo Switch was $499 new as is without a game without the pro controller without accessories at all and without an SD card in it...yeah, we are WAY overcharged for tech for no real reason!

[GardenSirens]

Xbox One is $249-$349 here.

[Violent Delights]

£250 here for the 500Gb One-S, with at least one game.

[GardenSirens]

so same here, ish, though my money is worth less lol

[Camibra]

I got mine on a special for $299 down from $449 for a 500gb xb1-s.

[GardenSirens]

nice!

[Violent Delights]

much more reasonable!

[GardenSirens]

no need to double it

[Camibra]

That special was an unadvertised one and only lasted 7 days so they were trying to keep it very low key so as to not lose much money as not many people would know about it before they put it back up to the regular $499....

Speaking of expensive tech, the new Samsung Galaxy S8 is $1400 here when it comes out next week!!! Now that is expensive! It looks like an amazing phone with gorgeous design and artful GUI plus that infinity display screen is I love that it has an 'explode-proof' battery after the Note 7 issue last year! It will bloat up and get warm but it will not smoke, it will not have flames come out of it and even after the hissing a damaged battery does if you cut it with a knife or something flames normally still comes out of the battery - not with the GS8 battery! ALL phones should get this battery then everyone will be MUCH safer! Iphones have had a fair few batteries exploded in recent months too, so it matters not what brand they are - they have the same battery tech, until now with the GS8 explode proof battery - next gen battery it is. But Samsung NEEDS to find a way to be able to mass produce their patented Solid State lithium-ion batteries!! Those ones are LITERALLY un-killable, you cut it and it will still work without issue, it will never bloat or explode or leak as its contents are not liquid as ALL lithium-ion batteries currently are. Their solid state li-on batteries are also very long lasting in their charge, total capacity, safety (of course) and how long the battery can last before it needs to be replaced is about 20 years vs 3 to 6 years with current li-on dangerous batteries!

I wonder how volatile the Nintendo Switch battery is?! It is a VERY powerful battery of 4500mah which is more powerful than all smartphones ever made and most tablets ever made in total capacity. But is it safe?
