cant see it being that expensive, its just a place holder price i think it will be more like 299
I hope your right for your sake mate :)
The original 360 launched at £280. The original Kinect (far simpler technology than the new one) launched at over £100 and is still the best part of that much today, so that would put a reasonable estimate of the price at around £400, excluding 7 years worth of inflation on the main console.
The pricing is completely dependent on how much they plan on subsidising the device though. I imagine they'll look at their market reseach, see the typical gamer is in their 20s or 30s, has spent a good chunk of money on an HDTV, surround sound and loads of gizmos. They can save £500-600 if they need to, but because there's competition with the launch of the PS4 the price will likely be lower, maybe £450 subscription free. I imagine they'll do a subsidised version for less if you sign up to a monthly payment, locking in younger gamers with less disposable cash. Paying for online play seems a bit old hat with other platforms and presumably the PS4 offering it free. If they want a subscription I imagine it'll be DLC/extra content and games available for gamers, and netflix style content for media consumers. Pay £20 a month get a console for £250 and access to all the latest tv shows and films on demand, I imagine that would be quite popular, it's a year of "free" content.
I'm just completely guessing, I just don't see why they would launch a subscription free version around the £300 mark. The device probably costs around £500 to make.

looks like you will need a live gold membership to use game DVR, skype etc
i think 90% of xbox owners have gold memberships
Yep i know a lot of Xboxers and the gold seems a prerequisite for getting the most out of the console, multiplayer, chat, media stuff etc.
I just sold my xbox and traded all my games in at game. Which if you get steam vouchers for the moment will get you a extra 25%

My ps3 is essentially now a blue ray player with various "smart TV" streaming services. Which is what i wanted it for. That and gt5... Ironically it doesn't do live iPlayer so I am setting up a raspberry pi for that...
gonna be giving the xbox one a good look at eurogamer then i'll see which 1 i pre order but tbh i'm liking the features xbox has skype,iplayer ,hdmi pass thru, i do like the idea of basically having my tv guide voice activated.
