Stormy2k Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) So with the next Xbox looking likely to be a late realease in 2013, maybe Q4, how much would you be prepeared to pay for the new console, either at launch or post launch? Please use the poll above (Whoops, forgot $'s, sorry). I'd be happy paying anything upto £499.99 personally.

Tatanko Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I would say a maximum of $500, so I voted £299.99 to £399.99. Anything above that is ludicrous in my opinion, and Sony learned that lesson the hard way charging $600+ for the PS3 when it first came out. Obviously they'd be stupid to set the price low to begin with because it would be harder to make a profit, but there's a limit to how much people are willing to pay even for the newest and greatest thing. Stormy, I can't believe you'd be willing to pay almost $800 for a new Xbox! That's crazy. EDIT: Careful with that poll. I know you can't edit it, but I have to imagine plenty of Americans are going to vote on your poll thinking it's $ instead of £. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otaking live Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yeah in dollars I would pay 399.99. Anything higher then I'll be waiting for a price drop. They take losses on their systems anyway (supposedly). So they better price it reasonably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamerKing97 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I'd pay anything from $300-$350, but less is always appreciated. Might pay for it if it's $400, depending on if I think it's worth it, but I won't even be getting it when it comes out. Also, not having anything like the red rings is nice, too, ya know.

Gackt Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I expect the next xbox to be filled with more useless non game related crap, so I wouldn't be willing to pay much for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrochaos Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Depends on a few things. -Full B/C with all 360 games and ALL digital content. -Huge HDD (I'd like 1TB, but would settle for anything 500gb or more) Those are my two huge concerns. There is talk about a blu-ray, which would help justify the purchase as well. Most I'd pay for a launch day system is $500 if it meets those requirement, and includes a kinect 2.0.

StillTIPPIN187 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Will depend on a few things.. I know for fact i will NOT buy another console in this day and age with a DVD9 drive installed.. if they come up with a format outta their ass that can hold at least 25GBs.. then we might be in business. +Needs a Blu Ray Drive +Good Quality Hardware +Rechargeable Battery in Remotes +Simultaneous Release of Digital and Retail Games +ANY 1TB hard drives can be installed (not bought from MS) The last 2 may or may not determine me buying the next MS console.. but i certainly want them! But if everything i want is met.. id certainly give 400 dollars.. probably more.. I know i can get alot of money on ebay for all these shitty Xbox 360 consoles i own..

Opiate42 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Market research? =P I would be willing to bug the hell out of my family to get it for me for my birthday/xmas present. Bonus sometimes to being a December kid. As to dollars.... Can't say, depends on life circumstances and mood. Timing is everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickinOnaChain Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Here's a conversion... http://www.dollars2pounds.com/ but I'd pay up to $400 but that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arenazombie Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Up to 400€ but I'll get the cheaper version without Kinect anyway ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HabsCen10ial Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I would only pay up to $400.00. Although I'm sure it will cost more then that and I'll cave and buy in anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAW LV Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I'd pay no more then... http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ8WdoVwaBm4R7mPhDSKVZII5HUiBX_HM_ceff65r4pyEmcSTktzGmc1ruX Seriously though- probably no more then $400.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickhhh Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Willing to pay up to $500 but needs a few thing listed below: All Games on the 360 need to be backwards compatible same with DLC. Needs to have a large hard drive. Blu ray. Depends on the games when the console comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberPunch83 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I put in the £299- £399 range. Seems about accurate. I could stomach paying a bit more than I did for my 360, but only as long as a few things happen: -Backwards compatibility that actually works -Blu-Ray -Removing the need to format USB drives just to use them for storage This can all be packed in for around £350. I'm sure of it. Now it's up to Microsoft to do it, though I can wait until 2014 easily. The Kinect was supposed to extend the life of the 360 by five years; those 5 should be without a new console coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercianix Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I'd like it to come in at £300, more than enough for the console itself. I'll stick with the 360 or go back to PC gaming before I'd pay more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarcastro Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Tough to say. The only people who would vote are basically buying an Xbox because it's an Xbox. I'm going to wait and see what the PS4 (presumably named) has to offer, versus the next Xbox. I'm keeping my options open. If Microsoft really pushes more Kinect garbage, it will steer me more towards the PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodlessprout2 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Sorry £199-£299 range is all I'm willing to pay at the minute. With the economy the way it is I couldn't justify paying anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulson Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 $300-$350 would be my absolute top dollar. If its more than that on release, I will be waiting till it receives a price drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamerKing97 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Forgot to say what I want to see: Blu-Ray (If it doesn't have it than that's fine, but it probably will) No RROD or anything similar (probably will) Disk drive similar to Wii(U)/PS3 (Just a personal preference on my part) Huge Harddrive (Seriously, why put 4GB on some of the Slim Models this late? I'm expecting a lot of space on the hard drive if it's B/C with 360, WHICH IT BETTER BE) Transfer Gamertag/data No batteries on controllers, only rechargeable (like PS3) Bundled with a good headset/Able to use current 360 headset (that would be great) Bundled with 2 controllers (most people end up buying a separate one, anyway) All of this could easily make it no more than $400. Also, I got my Xbox in December 2010, so no rush for me to buy a new Xbox. I'd say the end of 2013/Early 2014 would be a good time to release it. If there was no Kinect/Slim than this year would be a good time, but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfmv lfc Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I voted for £199.99 - £299.99 mainly because I will probably wait for awhile and get it cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildmn34 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hmmm, I really don't know. It depends on a lot of things I guess. What does it come with, are there different models available, what can be transferred from the 360, etc. I think MS learned (or should have learned) a valuable lesson from Sony having such a high price on the initial release of the PS3. That was way to expensive. My gut says right around the $400-$450 range in USD. But even then I would really have to justify that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepydumbdude Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 $600 US. I'm not sure if I'm getting whatever microsoft puts out though. I usually pick one system as my main one and get the other when it drops in price. I'll wait and see when it gets closer to launch. If microsoft does another proprietary and doesn't let me purchase things without having to do points then I'll probably lean towards whatever sony puts out. Also if my arcade games are compatible with the new system then that will give me less of a reason to get the next one. I don't care about backwards compatibility for the disc just the arcade games.

cjdavies Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) I wouldn't buy it right away, probably 2-3 years after so I can get it for £100-£150, so can't vote, living on my own is hard Only had the 360 2 years ago.
