That's the worst timing ever for Assassin's Creed Valhalla which looks pretty dang good too

It looks good, but will probably end up a grindy-as-fuck MTX delivery system just like Odyssey became after they decided to raise the level cap for no reason other than to sell more xp boosts.

Yakuza's timing really sucks though. No way I'll be able to all the way through it in 6 days before Cyberpunk so I'll just get it in few months at 33-50% off.

Xbox Series X will be $499, release Nov 10th

preorders for X go live Sept 22

AC Valhalla will be 4k 60 fps. Gears 5 has been confirmed to be 120fps (presumably 1080p) on xbox series S

huh xbox was supposed to put out info next week but the leaks monday forced their hands a bit early

Guess I have to find a time when the local Gamestop is actually open and ask how they're handling pre-orders for people who want to trade in a X1X. I suspect it's not going to be easy this year, if even possible at all.

I just want to trade my X in and pay cash, but my concern is that most days when I drive past the one a half mile from my house the security gate is shut during normal business hours (not always though, it isn't one of the ones they're closing down). Supposedly Gamestop in general has started taking trades again, but I kind of doubt we'll see them offer almost the same price as they sell the used consoles for ever again.

they take trades but they are only offering $175 on an X, irregardless of whether you are trading in or not. Its possible Microsoft may offer some incentives to boost trades but we probably won't find out till closer to release, and I suspect there will not be any incentive really - Microsoft does not care if you run an X or series X, and they lose money on every unit manufactured.

Sony definitely won't have any incentives, they probably are gonna be understocked on PS5s.

The all access program mentioned above is microsofts lease program, its like a phone you pay $25 (S) or $35 (X) a month and you get a console and gamepass ultimate. You can trade in your console every big upgrade (X to series X) and you keep it at the end of your 2 year payment cycle. They won't take your existing xbox, you'd be signing up a new lease plan for a series S/X.

If PS5 says they'll patch FF7R to run 4K60 that would be more incentive to buy one over any of their launch titles.

R6 Siege on consoles getting free next gen upgrades and 4k 120fps by end of year.
