Xbox One getting cheaper model in 2014: report

Cheaper Xbox One launching in 2014: report

More trusted sources confirm that a cheaper model of the Xbox One is coming

Lol, Xbox slim already :rolleyes:

Most likely this would be the rumoured "discless" model? How else would they be able to drop the price so quickly?

For us, in SA.. probably only 2015.. sigh.

Who knows, maybe SA skips out on the initial model and goes for the "slim" But then again, it's been awhile since I've seen pigs fly.

Knowing SA, we will not even see the Slim models anytime soon.. Still like 7 months left before the initial model hits our shores! Recently bought myself an xbox 360 250gb slim that sits under my PS3 :love:

It makes sense, because the cheaper console is selling a lot more units at the moment. I understand that they have additional hardware costs...but that is giving the opposition a sizeable advantage in terms of pricing.

i would say redesign of the pcb, but that already looks like its efficient in its design. i agree probably the drive being phased or a reduction in ports, removal of wifi or the hdmi pass through etc.

Judging by the PS3's legacy, it appears that the Xbox One is not very attractive.

Then again, at the moment the PS4 isn't either. Charge R2999.00 and then I will be interested.
