Just reiterating this as it's 100% true. Get 'em while they're hot boys!Most of the ebay auctions are going close to what the original MSRP was...
I see $440 and up.Most of the ebay auctions are going close to what the original MSRP was...
399.99 plus tax would be the original MSRP. The $299 price is overI see $440 and up.
Difficult to project with series X consoles timing & pricing TBD.How much do we think these will be worth on the open market used but complete with game already redeemed by October/November? $300 still or less?
There is no way that the system doesn't go up in value. Cyberpunk is going to be a huge brand after the game release as they have an anime launching in 2 years. At this stage I could see a PS5 or XSX get a branded console for the inevitable expansion but if the Xbox One console stays the only Cyberpunk one or ends up the best of the bunch I see it at minimum staying above MSRP.I think it will hold out for $300 at least because it's a LE... hell stand alone UHD players are still around $250 and that's with out DV support in most cases.
I would be kind of curious how the value fares on this one. Microsoft is fully on board with backwards compatibility for now, so that usually depresses the market for the old systems (even LE ones) when the new ones can do all the same stuff plus more.There is no way that the system doesn't go up in value.

I believe the dev announced digital owners of the 1x version will get the next gen version free, so there's that.and then there is the oddity that there will be an advanced series X version of the game in the future so this system won't even be the best way to play it's own game.
I didn't get in on this system so I'll be occasionally checking prices on it to snag one if the market ever falls out on it.
Yeah the eBay listings aren't ending crazy high that I could grab one if I really wanted. Not willing to overpay too much as I had it in my cart before it sold out and had a chance to overpay for the GameStop bundles already. I'll hold out for close to the original price or else roll the unspent funds into grabbing a series X earlier. It's hard to feel bad about missing out on it this close to next gen.I believe the dev announced digital owners of the 1x version will get the next gen version free, so there's that.
Honestly the biggest market fallout you will see is probably right now with resellers trying to shed consoles that aren't moving.
I’d bet the physical owners for both systems (Series X and PS5) will get the upgraded versions as well since the systems will play the disc based versions of the game. Or at least I’m hoping so as this looks like a game that I could easily double dip on.I believe the dev announced digital owners of the 1x version will get the next gen version free, so there's that.

I think it could ultimately sit around the $400 mark for reasons you mentioned (folks ready to move to next gen, impending obsolescence, etc.). I think it will also come down to availability over time if there really was a more limited run of the system. It means for most people if they really wanted one it wouldn't be a ridiculous purchase.Yeah the eBay listings aren't ending crazy high that I could grab one if I really wanted.

People are buying current gen consoles because they still are mostly staying at home and have nothing else to do. Both next gen consoles have not even gotten a release date yet but are probably coming out in November. Do you really expect people to wait 5 months before buying a video game system? You think everyone is just going to keep playing their 360 or PS3 or Wii? Older systems? You might not buy a current gen but 5 months is not exactly right around the corner. I see no problem with someone getting a Switch, or PS4 or Xbox One right now. You probably already have a current gen system so of course you wouldn't buy one. If someone doesn't have one and they don't want to wait 5 months for a MORE expensive system, why shouldn't they buy a cheaper one with hundreds of games they can be playing right now?I would not but a current gen console with the new one right around the corner.
I kind of figure MS will flood the market with cheap 1Xs so they can push GP hard...makes sense to get hardware in as many households as possible and market it as the most affordable 4k bd player or something...get people subscribing and investing in digital content on their platform until they can push xcloud as the hardware alternative, etc.People are buying current gen consoles because they still are mostly staying at home and have nothing else to do.

Was it something other than a money issue?I had one in my cart at Microsoft the night it went live at $300. Ordered then immediately canceled. I also recently canceled my Animal Crossing Switch that was waiting for me at Best Buy.
I just make terrible decisions.
Money is always an issue, but besides that: I t was half wanting to keep both consoles when I don’t really need them and half reselling but not having enough time to do so. I figure I just save myself the headache thinking about if I really should have bought it and instead live with the regret of missing out, haha.Was it something other than a money issue?
I only opened my Cyberpunk console after I sold my black One X. Took me a week to get what I wanted for it. If I wasn't able to pay for the Cyberpunk bundle with my One X, I would have sold it instead. I still need to sell the figure and Direct delivery game. I'll actually end up making money on it.
I never thought about getting an animal crossing Switch although if I did it would just be to sell it for a profit. I like to think the majority of the ones purchased went to people that actually kept them.
Anyway, my point is if it was a money issue, it's better to have that extra $600 for bills or things more important than video game consoles. Not Everyone likes to post an ad on OfferUp or Craigslist and then meet someone and sell it for a profit or send it through the mail off eBay or whatever.
So assuming he bought it when Gamestop had it for $299, he probably was charged like 30 bucks in tax so he made around a hundred bucks selling it to you. I haven't been keeping track of what the consoles are going for now but cool you were finally able to get one. I still have the game and figure that I'm going to sell.I was finally able to score one the other night off Facebook Marketplace. Found a guy selling a system for $425, so it was basically existing pricing plus tax. He even provided a copy of the receipt.
Yeah he ordered it June 5, so he made a little profit and I ended up paying what I would at retail anyways. There are still a ton in my area going for $500+.So assuming he bought it when Gamestop had it for $299, he probably was charged like 30 bucks in tax so he made around a hundred bucks selling it to you.

Not a bad deal. He could have pulled a GameStop and bundled some other crap with it and sold it for more. Exclusive random person bundle includes 10 limited edition artwork scribbles I made while waiting for cyberpunk to release - MSRP $899.Yeah he ordered it June 5, so he made a little profit and I ended up paying what I would at retail anyways.

Guy was in his late 60s, early 70s and got it from Walmart. He was listed as $599 for weeks before dropping probably because the demand was so low.Not a bad deal.

I just wish the next gen pricing would get announced soon so I know how bad of a mistake I made not getting this when it was still available.
Damn, a 70 year old man hustling consoles. You know the interest rate has to be bad when it comes to this.Guy was in his late 60s, early 70s and got it from Walmart. He was listed as $599 for weeks before dropping probably because the demand was so low.
And I felt the same way, I have an 8 month old Gears 5 system and felt like I’d kick myself for not getting this one. I’ll probably sell the Gears system as we get closer to Series X.
