I was really excited for Xbox Scorpio to be released but now with the Nintendo Switch that excitment has switched over to Nintendo's side. Still, I'm very eager to see what Xbox Scorpio will end up be. Microsoft is making it sound like it'll be the most powerful console ever made and the price will be "premium".
The original fat PS3s originally went for like £599.99 or so, so I can see the Xbox Scorpio being somewhere between £499.99 and £599.99. However, despite how powerful it may be what matters is that it has a quality library of games and Xbox One does but it's also games you can play on PC and PlayStation 4.
Nintendo's smart. Nintendo has locked their franchises exclusive to Nintendo consoles/handhelds so if you want to play their games you need to buy their devices. OK yeah, there are emulators but they take their sweet time to become stable.
Btw, Super Mario Run will be on iOS/Android but honestly, it doesn't compare to a traditional Super Mario game as you just tap on the screen rather than control the character as you please and without constantly running (it's not a never-ending runner as it has a finish line).
Dread That's what makes Xbox Scorpio seem incredibly amazing for a video game console but when you consider that Nintendo makes underpowered consoles yet the games are awesome, the hardware isn't as important, imo.
you guys need to download this now.... mines downloading now as we speak!
It is rumoured to be a free weekend. Worth downloading just in case. Last time when I claimed Fallout 4 for free they gave me $10 credit for the mistake 
EDIT: Just confirmed. Part of the free play days. Game will lock up after Sunday.
EA ditched releasing a Remaster collection and went with BC? Works out fine. PlayStation gamers who didn't play Mass Effect before were left in the dust, though.
Sony seems to be more into financial reasons and not caring for its audience than listening to the gamers like Microsoft's Phil Spencer has been doing.
Skate 3 added to backwards compatibility. It is also on sale on the Xbox store for £7.50.
Tom For a second I read "I got Xbox One for £15" which would be ridiculously cheap but not impossible. Amazon has sold refurbished Xbox Ones for £30ish.
The Division is a great game but there's that it's online-only. When a game is restricted to being online-only it means the game won't be playable years after.
I never played MAG (PS3) when it was available and now I can't either. :( NFS 2015 has a single player mode but needs to have an internet connection. :(
Oh well. There's plenty more games.
Tom Sometimes the only way to 'enjoy' these now-dead games is by watching gameplay videos but even then, it doesn't do much good. It reminds me of Goldeneye 64 remake for the Xbox 360.. such a tease to watch that and not be able to play it!
Having played The Division for a few hours, I was very confused why it was so hard. Enemies taking a thousand shots etc. Only after dying a thousand times did I realise it had put me into some group of hardcore pros and we were playing on hard mode, and I only had the basic load out 
Still kicked arse though.
You should have tried it before the patches. Shotgunners one shotting you from right across the room.
