One argument I could make is that it would be easier to save the $100 and buy a faster external drive for that money (if not cheaper) then the presumably slower 5400 rpm internal drive. And as a UHD player, being able to come in at a lower overall price point isn't bad at all.

That's what I've done with my current One, nothing on the internal drive except apps which cannot be moved to the external.

That's what I did. I bought the 500 GB One back in November when it hit 299. Got Gears Remastered, Sunset Overdrive and a 60 dollar credit that became Doom for free. Bought a 1TB external drive on Amazon Prime Now for 40 bucks using their promotion credit for first time users and now I have plenty of space.
The external drive is faster and I figure I can just upgrade again when the time comes and the technology will be even better than what's built in.

Sucks there isn't a black one. I don't want white one when all my other electronics are black.

I think changing the color and the size at the same is going to be confusing to joe six pack.

So this is streeting in 2 weeks? I'm guessing Amazon will update the default 12/32/16 date? Looking forward to this.

EDIT: Nevermind, the launch edition pre-order now shows 08/02.

Sgtsnake

Yea I got an email today saying the date has been changed and that its expected to ship the 29th

So - 11 minutes of Cuphead gameplay and I'm out. Looks boring as hell, which is a shame because it's stunning in action.

Urban Dictionary: Cuphead [kuhp-hed] - The opposite of "butterface".

Dan

Reminds me of the first level in Contra.

Michael Corvin

Yep, looks like Contra. The game is gorgeous as hell.

edstein

I love to play that in an old school cocktail cabinet.

RichC2

Looks fun to me

fumanstan

Looks good to me too, seems like any other side scroller.

pinata242

If the "Run n Gun" stages are full auto-fire like that video, how is it fun? It's just busy work. Now, if the preview had a cheat or rapid-fire controller and that's not indicative of the game, sure, okay, maybe I'm back in.

The boss battle looked okay and clearly that person knew exactly what to do to survive whereas we'll have a learning curve.

fumanstan

Auto-fire doesn't bother me, but I then again I personally don't think mashing a button would make it more fun for me.

pinata242

I'll still at least try it, but there's got to be something between auto-fire and button-mash, doesn't there?

fumanstan

I don't know, but given the footage of boss battles in this game i'd rather just hold down a button. Which I guess is what I do in games like Contra or Meta Slug anyway.

Deftones

Change the title again. Down to $249. Looks like they are clearing out inventory: http://www.theverge.com/2016/7/24/12...e-price-to-249

fumanstan

Wow, they must really be trying to clear out the old models for the S. That's a pretty great deal for anyone that just wants to play exclusives.

Michael Corvin

Yep. I feel stupid for picking one up last fall now.

Dan

My brother bought the Kinect bundle for his kids... last Christmas. :/

nickdawgy

I almost bought another one last month. Glad I waited.

I'm not sure why anyone would buy the last one, since you're getting two codes of the same game, unless you want to gift one to a friend or something.

Decker

VERY solid month for Xbox One!
