I wonder if game will do a trade in deal like the one last year where you could get a ps4 pro for £175 + ps4 & 4 games

More likely to do an offer with a 10bit Premium Certified HDR 4K TV imo.

Hmm, I guess console owners are different from PC owners as the PC market is thriving and that is mostly digital. I don't even know if you can buy games on disc for PC anymore?

I think digital distribution thrived on PC because of the growing popularity of console gaming, PC games were being pushed out of retail space and everyone had their PC connected to the internet anyway, so it just became the norm. With consoles it's a bit different, retail space is important for selling the hardware, accessories and the games because Sony, MS etc have a huge stake in that.

Xbox One X Preorders are COMING! Watch our Gamescom broadcast on Sunday for details and a cool surprise!

I wonder what that's all about. What is the surprise? Price reduction? Free game? Early launch?

Or... and this might seem completely daft... what about there being NO pre-order period. Because the console will be available TO BUY immediately? (Online at least.)

Oh boy, I'm ready to order! Hope see some news too on PUBG!

What time Sunday?

They won’t include PUBG, it’s a game where you shoot people in a realistic setting.

I'll be pre ordering Monday I think

hopefully there will be a nice little extra with the day one edition

Thanks for the heads-up on the Gamescom broadcast.

I don't have a great PC rig anymore thus haven't played PUBG, is it good then?

Any ideas what price these will come in at? Close to buying a GPU for my PC for some couch gaming at 4k but I can probably get a whole console for the same cost as a GPU that will give me acceptable 4k performance.

£449. Unless they alter it on Sunday night in their presentation.

So there's going to be an equivalent to the Xbone's Day One Edition called Project Scorpio Edition...
