Amazon is selling an $80 Xbox bundle ... sort of

Who needs a real Xbox anyway?

[darthv72]

$40 fire stick and a $60 controller for $80... that's not bad. Obviously its geared towards those who have neither.

The fire stick is garbage. Get one of the Fire Cubes if you can.

Cubes? What's it do

[Christopher]

@PhillyDonJawn: It's a streaming box instead of just a dongle, has more power and capabilities. Streaming dongles are only good for streaming movies and even then it's crap because everything is very tight in its use and the quality of that is reliant on good developers who squeeze more out of less, and that just doesn't happen in today's app world from 99% of the sources out there. Especially when priority is still data collection.

Yeah that fire stick combo go brrr

[Hofstaderman]

*facepalm* Can't sell actual consoles so this now? Lol

[phoenixwing]

I only don't like it because it sets the precedent that you need fast internet which i don't have. I'll stick with my gaming pc and consoles.

Better not have a data cap

Thankyou lord phill

I definitely couldn’t do this before, by plugging my laptop into tv with an hdmi cable, definitely not

😏

[darthv72]

...but then you'd have a laptop plugged into your TV. This is more elegant yet simple. For that sophisticated you.

[purple101]

haha good one,

[PhillyDonJawn]

I hope this isn't the future of gaming. Nothing better than opening that box for the first time, setting up the consoles and pressing the power button and hear that noise.

[talocaca]

This is such a mess. Since the stick needs Cloud access....does that mean you have to get ultimate to stream to a TV? Even if you don't have or want a gaming PC? 🤔

Digital Foundry have already concluded it's a dogshit experience, so nothing to see here.
