Pretty sure both will be $499, if one or the other is more expensive than it will have a much harder time beating its competition.

Not surprised PS5 controllers are adopting more of an Xbox look, Xbox has had the more comfortable feel forever. I give the Xbox controller a 9.5/10 over all, it really has everything you’d need without the extra fluff that just ends up draining battery life. Allow the controller itself to recharge rechargeable AA and it’s a perfect 10.

I’d only imagine in sequel to Minecraft would be a crazy hard act to follow. Updates/upgrades to the current game would probably be best. Will be interesting to see which way they go.

I use it on rdr online to talk with random blue berries. Once enough friends get on I’ll switch over to a party. @Captain_Chao5 watched cannonball run 2 again just the other day. Great movies.

@SuperNintendoMii I worry about the boarder LEDs draining the batteries again, don’t understand why Sony keeps putting them on their controllers as they serve no purpose.

@gingataisen with what I’ve seen with the Xbox series x I’m very happy with (as long as it hits that $499 price point which I’m confident it will). Additionally, I’d be very happy if additional controllers for the series x were $5 cheaper than the PS5 controller (like the current Xbox controllers are right now) but if they are the same price as PS5 controllers (and PS5 controllers come with a rechargeable option) than I would like Xbox to include something rechargeable as well (but ultimately it’s fine and my money is already set aside for it). I feel if Sony can charge $5 more for controllers, I would happily pay the same for Xbox controllers that came with the rechargeable AA batteries and a way to charge them. I really believe that Microsoft could incorporate a way to do it and still make it the same price as a PS5 controller though it’s really alright with the way they decided to go.

@gingataisen some way to charge them, perhaps a cable that can be plugged from the controller to the system to charge them. Would have to set up the Xbox controller to be able to recharge AA. Could also just make the controller a little cheaper than the competition and that would also be fine (which is the case currently around me with the Xbox one controller right now, just want them to continue that onto the series x controller). Addition: the advantage of having AA rechargeables over a battery pack would be the ability to still use nonrechargeable AA batteries. Let’s say your chargeable AA died, then you could put in your regular AA and keep playing cordless. When done playing, you could put back in the chargeables and plug the controller to the system via cable. You may be thinking cost, but from what I found a AA battery charger that charges two batteries can run $5. If incorporated into the controller and mass produced, that price can be driven way down and perhaps some of the components are already present in the existing controller to begin with.

I’m expecting $499, anything lower would be amazing.

I think the choice is fine but should come with rechargeable AA batteries in the box.

I don’t mind it, need something to use this monster pack of AA batteries I bought at Costco on. When those run out (perhaps after a few years) I’ll check on getting something rechargeable. With that said, I do feel like it’s a bit odd, manufacturing should be able to absorb the cost of adding rechargeable AA with each controller or better yet additional new ones should cost a little less to buy than competitors since other features in the device are the same as the competition. If that the case, bravo Xbox.

I’ve been expecting $499.99. Any less than that is just icing on the cake.

although I have the OG Xbox up I still feel it’s an amazing option if for nothing else to help keep wear and tear off my old systems. Also, really like the enhancements the series x is bring to these old titles.

And for all intensive purposes this may as well be the official story and the game would still be brilliant. Talented claymation artist, I’ll have to check out their other stuff.

120 FPS? That’s just madness!

Thank goodness for modern entertainment in times like these. Hope you and yours stay well.

Red Dead Online, can’t wait for the update on April 6th. May also try to finish the achievements in story mode.

@Gamer83 that’s a good point, most likely the bulk of the games that cant be played are Kinect based, that would make sense.

Folks are telling me it’s harder than the 2016 Doom. Of course difficulty settings makes this a none issue but most wouldn’t want to tell their friends they are playing on easy.

No ambiguity to that statement unlike what’s coming out of Sony, awesome job Xbox. (Update) the change of wording doesn’t make me happy to be frank. Need to release a list of what it doesn’t play, Will no doubt be a short list.

Looks like the Xbox has it on power and Xbox has me with sub incentives. just want to know the price point and games at this point and I’ll be sold. (Update) as many have pointed out, the series x is fully backwards compatible, something I wasn’t even thinking about. Heck, I got a massive backlog of Xbox game’s I’d love to pick up and play so to play them on the series X sounds perfect. Games covered for me, just price point and they can take my money.

Red dead redemption 2, already a beautiful game could be made to look even better.
