    I haven’t had an Xbox since the 360 and Jesus fuck I’m glad I never continued with them. They really just need to get out of the console market at this point, good lord.

    Really, a high end Xbox? Who in the sweet hell asked for that?

    Is this all some convoluted plan to increase the demand for regular PC’s? After everyone flocks to them once realizing it will be legitimately cheaper and an overall smarter option to get one over the “Xbox OneTwoThree Series XXX Tricky 720 Noseblunt” or whatever the fuck it’s gonna be called?

      I have exactly one reason why I own an Xbox One S: Gamestop went out of business in Germany at the exact moment I made plans to buy a cheap 4k BluRay player for my bedroom TV and they sold me one (used) for 60€.

      I remember before covid, i thought about buying a xbox, as a cheap media center to play some games maybe. I haven’t had a console since the 360 and didn’t keep up at all. So the new xbox launched and i went to get an older cheaper one. I was absolutely stunned, and felt like the grandma who has to buy his son a nintendo playstation for christmas. I had no idea what’s what, the naming conventions are fucking insane. I didn’t buy one and i’m so glad i didn’t

        Yeah I hate their naming conventions with a passion. This article made me go on a 15 minute rant to my gf about how stupid they are.

        And now you can’t forget their new system to fuck around with names on. The godforsaken “ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X.” Fucking christ, these names.
