>and controller will not work while simply from the USB power when plugged in

what's it like lying on the internet?

oops, i forgot to add up the total xbox live costs over the last 5 years since late 2013 into what just passed of late 2017

$300.00

$1400 (rounded) - for actual total "investment" into being a next-gen console owner (PS4 online also costs the same)

there is no point getting a computer less than 1k

xbox one controller does not work if you remove the batteries and simply plug it in

if it does, its only because of a VERY recent firmware that had to have come out within the last 6 months or so but did not exist for the last 5 years in total

you forgot to include the price of a computer monitor

thats the same for the console user, your memes will not work

And operating system

nigger i've been playing on my brothers xbox one since release day in 2013 and the controller has supported usb only connection without batteries since then.
i also have a gen 1 controller i've been using on my pc since 2014 (limited edition white controller) and it has also supported usb connection without batteries since then.
what makes you lie on the internet?

>xbox one controller does not work if you remove the batteries and simply plug it in
is this only on xbox one? I've used an xbox one controller on my computer wired for years without any batteries in it

>xbox one consoles forbid hardwired controllers and controller will not work while simply from the USB power when plugged in
one one-hundredth of a cent has been deposited into your Steam wallet.

>thats the same for the console user, your memes will not work
Everyone has a TV you idiot, or are you saying you go to a sports bar every time there's a game?

You could include the price of a 4k TV for the console user if you'd like to too, since only idiots would buy an xbox one X without a 4k TV

yes, the xbox one will straight up not power the controller if batteries arent in it.

also nobody would purchase a controller that costs 2x as much when the 360 wired still exists and is still being manufactured new

>owning a tv
Good goy.

You’re an idiot.

A ps4 pro can be had for about 360 right now, always promos going on.
Ps plus 50.
Game 40-50, plenty of deals

Build a PC capable of 4K at 60 FPS for 550 bucks. Spoilers: you can’t

the fucking cost of a display is the same across the board, a "pc monitor" isnt some fancy fucking technology

its a screen with an HDMI port just like a TV, you can connect a fucking PC to either

that cost is not fucking different for either gaming purpose, thus its not factored in

You know you can plug a computer into a TV right?

>also nobody would purchase a controller that costs 2x as much when the 360 wired still exists and is still being manufactured new
why don't you just stick with cheap chinese controllers for $10 if price is the only reason you're using a specific controller

Yeah this is by far the stupidest comment I've read here in years. Congratz to that user.

But if you wanted PC parts as powerful as the ones you listed back in 2013 you would have to give way more than 1k.

>have xbox one
>£175 from argos
>£30 12 months xbox live
>4 or 5 games for about £100 in total
>~£300 altogether

i have both an xbox and pc and i use them equally as much to play with different sets of friends. there is no bad buy if you have a use for something and £300 is basically nothing. hell, my gtx 1070 evga acx 3.0 cost me £430. that investment of a single component for more than the price of my xbox is justified just like my xbox is justified because i use it to play nearly all my single player games. my xbox is used mainly as an online console for friends.

i will never understand the rivalry between console and pc because i've been brought up to use both and have an equal love for both. you sound asshurt OP. did you ask your mum for a titan V and she bought you an xbox?

You can get a perfectly usable 720p tv with no input delay for 40 dollars, or less if you don't care about used. The cheapest computer monitor I found online in my area was $120. A fresh copy of Windows will run you between 30 and $200, unless you want to deal with the 'trial version', buying CD keys, or pirating your OS.

Fuck off faggot, go make a thread about SOnY. Those retards will believe the lies you make up.

>or are you saying you go to a sports bar every time there's a game?
>Watching sports

Is there anything more boring than sports?

>these old ass 2013 consoles are now only....
>goes on to then talk about 4k which NONE of the 2013 consoles could do implying he got cucked twice by this "next generation"

learn to read dumbass

Xbox One X with TV, Live and a game, you can get all that for under the price of a single 1070.

Fuck off. There has never been a worse time to get into PC gaming.

>yes, the xbox one will straight up not power the controller if batteries arent in it.
why are you lying? nice to see you ignored my previous post stating this. i'll even record a video if anons want it

>check recent local prices
>GTX 1070 already $600
what's the fastest way to kms?

why would we use a cheap controller when the fucking universally agreed upon perfection that is the 360 controller is available brand new for $20-30

I'd like to see what desk you're using for PC gaming so that you can comfortably use kb + m with your TV.

GPUs price increased recently because of shitty miners buying all of them

Okay retard, if I can't find a video on youtube of it working, I've been playing all morning with my controller plugged in with no batteries, I'll just take a video and make it a webm

t. never used an xbox one controller

wrong, the $200 i5-2500 is still relevant today and the $300 900 series GTX's are as well, all of the costs for PC parts have gone up about $100

true, but blame miners for that. i don't know how fellow pc gamers can defend miners when they're in effect killing adoption rates in favour of consoles

what about the price of owning a home?what about the price of getting electricity?what about the price of food?what about the price of clothing and shelter?what about the price of being raised in current year?what about the price of being born?what about the price of having ancestors successfully having children?what about the price of existing in a universe with a functioning 3rd dimension?what about the price ofwhat about the price ofwhat about the price ofwhat about the price ofwhat about the price ofwhat about the price ofwhat about the price ofwhat about the price ofwhat about the price ofwhat about the price of

>look at me, i stumbled across this xbox one in a garage sale so that's indicative of the MSRP at launch

Fuck off reddit

Actually here's the real cost

$250 for a PS4
$60 for PS PLUS
$30 for PUBG

Total = $340

Sony always wins baby

>Ps4
>pubg
>running good

what the fuck are you even arguing?

you can fucking plug that into a fucking console or tv

who the fuck is playing at 720p anyways, the cost is the same for the pc or console user, you clearly have a comprehension issue

>argos
>garage sale

this was 2 years ago. argos is equivalent to best buy. the new consoles weren't even out then.

Why would you need an xbox one and an xbox one x? So you can take $500 off your total you dumb fuck.

consoles cost $250
meaning that 250 + 30 pubg +60 1 year xbox live = $340
>your logic is flawed op

why are we using PUBG as an example when it's clear to everybody that it's one of the worst optimized games in the history of video games?

Nigger I recently figured out that you can play the shit without batteries through USB and now I don’t have to contribute to the waste that is batteries and never get DCs on my controller anymore.

>i have been playing PS3 and 360 for the last 5 years and only JUST purchased a xbox one

$250 for a PS4
$30 for Bloodborne

$100 towards Xbox One X for PS4 + BB at gamestop
$499 for Xbox One X
$60 for Xbox Live
$30 for PUBG

Total = $769

who are you quoting?

Not the point, and I'd take a picture but I just moved and don't have my shit set up. My current monitor is a 32 inch TV. TV's aren't great for gaming but it's doable, which is the point.

see this talking about plugging it INTO THE XBOX

>>LOL paying for an operating system.
Only cucked back bent PC fats would do this. Even Apple friends get that for free which makes the most sense.

>$499.00 to 399.00 - Xbox One/PS4*
Did anyone buy those things at full price. I got my PS4 when they were down to 200 but even then it was a free gift

>$499.00 - Xbox One X
I don't know how many people buy the new console if they already have the old one, and again at launch price

Might as well get a console cheaper if you have no standards dude.

ok cool i have both though, enjoy playing bloodborne in your dreams cuck

Here's the Xbox support page telling mouthbreathers like OP how to connect a USB.
support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/accessories/connect-charge-cable-to-controller
OP forgot to mention that the batteries the controller doesn't recharge weren't designed to be recharged with anything except one of the wall outlet chargers, or maybe he's the kind of kid that would cry and scream when he tried to play his friend's copy of Final Fantasy X for PS2 in his DVD player.
Here's an Aussie retard explaining how to do it in a six-minute video, so your little brain has time to absorb it.
youtube.com/watch?v=datsDQJibhc

that pc is gonna run like shit unless you invest in a better case/cooling.

the $80 price does not justify it

also for everyone continuing on with this "pc actually powers the xbox one controller" (which as i stated teh XBOX CONSOLE ITSELF DOES NOT)

either way the fucking mini usb port is flimsy as fuck and moving it at all can cause it to lose connection, even if you're using the blutooth connection it still needs constant power since you're not using batteries...if you have batteries then it weighs a fucking ton just like the 360 wireless did

and you're still introducing latency vs the ACTUAL wired 360

Who gives a fuck, its not like people who only own the xbone exist on Sup Forums

>You can't do thing
>Hey user you can do thing
>Haha you do thing you have no standards
What did you mean by this

900's didn't cost that back then and also just on paper the cheaper models are just worse than even the base consoles.

im sorry, was 2013 when the consoles came out, two years ago?

learn to fucking read

yes, i have an xbox in my household and as i previously stated you could use it as a wired usb controller without batteries since day 1. how hard is that to understand? there are loads of videos and posts from within a few months to a year explaining this, which is contrary to your claim stating it was a "firmware" update from a few months ago.

Why would I play chinkgrounds?

I play on PC but still admit that it's a p shit time to buy PC parts. RAM, SSD, and GPUs are all at historic highs.

Fuck off back to eddit with your baby level 'le trol xD' attempts

I wish these faggots would just lurk

>purchasing a standard xbox now

also i didnt even bring up the fact that all xbox games are now cross PC playable making the costs even less justifiable on console

No but it's year when he got his console, which decides the final price. Do people actually buy consoles at launch

>the $80 price does not justify it
$80 ??? I paid $40 for mine on sale and even now they're $55 on amazon

So you're saying consoles are for people that have no standards?

did you even fucking read the 2nd sentence you replied to?

and then go back and look into the fucking context of this conversation in which it fucking doesnt matter at this point in swaying the topic

>all Xbox games
Nope

where in my post was i talking about the consoles coming out? why do you have a 3 year old graphics card on your list to buy in the current time if buying an xbox in the current time at a cheaper price is illegal according to your rhetoric?

>those graphics
>13 fps
b-but at least it’s fun with friends and my favorite ecelebs play it right?

Okay add $10 On then you probably spent more on your lunch you fat fuck

1/2

the person bringing a "cost of a single console purchase in 2017" into this topic

>are you saying you go to a sports bar every time there's a game?

Fuck off faggot, making up shit on the internet won't fill the void in your life.

>$60.00 - Xbox Live (on top of ISP cost)

>implying you don't pay ISP for PC gaming

I play on PC mostly but what the fuck even is this comparison?

2/2

Buy a console capable of 4k 60 fps you can't

>desk

i game on my 360 controller, my recliner is right at the foot-stool length from my 40 inch LCD screen, my keyboard and mouse rest on my lap and chair arm when shitposting

Millions PC players purshased it when it was like that on PC month agos redditor
and millions did it on Xbox right now & It runs at 30 fps on Xbox one X now: youtube.com/watch?v=3mU4EM4Wwbg

GTX 970 cost $330 at launch then quickly dropped, even after its 3.5 meme its on par with 1060s

>implying you don't pay ISP for PC gaming
it says on top of ISP cost, xbox live costs extra

>making the costs even less justifiable on console
making the costs even more justifiable you mean as you can the games on your laptop or on your TV with the Xbox.

Yes. Do you not agree? Just like a $800 dollar PC setup with a shitty $15 kb+m combo and a 32 inch TV is for someone who literally doesn't care and only wants to play games. Nothing wrong with that of course, but you can't really claim to be superior to a 3rd worlder playing fifa on his 7 year old tv when you're doing the same thing

Windows £200 lamo what the fuck are you smoking nigger

learn to fucking read the topic and fuck off with your single console purchase price 2 years after release

GTX 970 was 300 back when these consoles came out

Yeah but 970 has hard stutters in modern games because of the 3.5gb meme you literal retard.
Console versions ran better than on PC at highest settings because of this.

its the most popular game by a landslide and people legit purchased xbox one x's to play it thinking it would be a greater experience..on top of every other game that's come out and has found to be simply using 1080p upscale checkerboarder or not even close to a steady 30fps much less reach 60fps

I rather pay more to have a PC and use the wireless DS4 through BT, wireless keyboard (K800) and wireless mouse (MX Master) comfortable from my sofa.

I then get the "U can play from sofa durr" benefit, and I get the performance and usage benefits from a PC.

Xbox one X has a way better gpu than a 1060. This chink game is just poorly coded

>learn to fucking read the topic and fuck off with your single console purchase price 2 years after release
what even is the fucking topic? all i said is that i enjoy the fuck out of both my pc and xbox and that i don't understand how people can hate both.

>GTX 970 was 300 back when these consoles came out
what the fuck does this have to do with my post? if we're talking cost i bought a 980 for £450 in 2014 and i bought a gtx 1070 for £430 about 8 months ago. i could use the same argument about cost for pc gaming yet, and going back to my original point, i won't because i don't see the point in hating pc gaming or console gaming. my pc graphics cards over the last 3/4 years have cost me more than my xbox and switch put together + like 10 games each and xbox live in the same time.

Unless your PC is some beige tower from the 90s you can plug it in any modern TV.

>But it's heavy and I have to move it!

Stop being such a weak armed faggot then.

why did nobody pointed out that the price is due to buying 2 Xbox?
you don't need 2 console to run 1 game.
only idiots fall for this obvious bait.

>puchasing prebuilt packages

use fucking pcpartpicker

Yeah Deskptop PC 'gaming' is a meme.
Laptop or even the recent 2 in 1 PCs are much better for me for anything PC related.
