Series X for myself, just trying to work out whether it's worth giving my daughter my Xbox One X or trading it and her normal S in against a Series S for her.
Also just checked my Gamepass and thats paid up until the July 2022 so in theory for the one off £450 that works out as £9 per month for us each for the next two years of gaming. Bargain!

I was expecting one of them to be £5-600 so to be able to get both, albeit slightly cut down, for the same money is a win for me. I mean I’ve still got both original XB1 and PS4 without going to the 1.5 versions, I can probably do the same again.

Quick question as I'm a bit confused.
With the All Acess Xbox package do you get to keep the xbox at the end of the 24 months?

Not trying to teach people how to suck eggs but you are reading the info correctly I assume? The all access plan works out as a saving of £10 over 2 years. It's great that it's interest free, but it's not hard to believe that it won't be yours once paid off and I wouldn't call it a 'killer deal'....

It is yours after the 24 months....
You are buying it, not renting it.

Yes, the way I understand it is that you own the console after 2 years and then your subscription drops to £10.99 a month for Games Pass Ultimate (unless you cancel or downgrade to a lower subscription plan). Either way, the console is yours after the two years.

Now we need an Uber digital foundry overview/analysis 
What about both? I'll be getting a PS5 and XsX for me, and a XsS for the kids room.

So if the rumours are true regarding the Xbox series x launching at £449 then it’s really a no brainer.
I was expecting it to be around 500-600 at the very least.
Now to convince the missus that I need a new Xbox lol even though my Xbox one x is perfectly fine

Its not a rumour. Its a fact.So if the rumours are true regarding the Xbox series x launching at £449 then it’s really a no brainer.

Yes, I know. That's the point I'm making...
Doing the maths of buying the console outright and having a Game Pass subscription for 2 years is £10 more expensive. So I can't see why anyone would assume you're renting it adding the fact it's interest free.
Waiting to see what games are available at launch. Nothing is really selling me on the system so far?
I reckon Sony's PS5 will be £350-400 for the digital version and £450-500 for the Blu-ray variant.
Given all Sony's consoles are the same ~10 Teraflop CPU/GPU there's no way they'll get close to the £250 Series S pricing.

Why are people saying the S is faster than the X
Amazed at the price of the series X though. I really thought it would be £599. £449 is a steal.

Ahh fair enough, never really take anything as fact on the net lol.
Actually might go for the all access pass monthly sub as makes the cost a bit more easier to swallow.
So far only Game and Smyth are doing it but only for the series one s. Not seeing anything about the series X.

The One X, not Series X
The land of Xbox naming confusion has already started!
