Are You Sold on the Xbox Series S For $299? - Episode 63

Join the Bonus Accessory crew every Friday as they dive head first into  all things Xbox, Xbox Game Pass, and PC gaming. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s finally happened: we finally know how much and when we’ll get our hands on both of Microsoft’s next gen systems. And yes, I said both because the Xbox Series S is now officially a real, actual, not made up thing, that will launch at $299 alongside the Xbox Series X at $499 on November 10th. So this week, we examine how the Series S’s very consumer friendly price point given its technical specs could really be the perfect sale in gaming for 2020, having the potential to own the holiday shopping season, and the impact this could have on Sony’s pricing strategy. Plus, EA’s on demand game subscription service, EA Play, has found its way to another platform: Xbox Game Pass, meaning for no additional cost Game Pass subscribers will get all the benefits to EA’s premium service. Is this consumer friendly initiative helping EA set a new trajectory heading into next gen with gamer’s faith, and could we see the publisher pivots the service to be a supplementary add-on service to other gaming subscriptions? Also, the newest installment of Ubisoft Forward has arrived and thrown a surprise or two as we loom closer to the launch of the family of Xbox systems. We discuss what we’re most excited for (and not) from their newest digital event. Be sure to subscribe and turn on notifications to be the first to  listen to new  episodes as soon as they drop every Friday!
