I’ve been thinking about pre-ordering Halo Infinite and buying Xbox Scarlett when its released, but I was wondering if pre-order bonuses will be unavailable to Xbox Scarlett because of them being released years apart.
I think it’s a bit early to be thinking about this as we don’t have any realistic release dates for either, right now nobody knows either way
Wow someone is excited lol
Agree with stckrboy. It’s WAY too early to be thinking about/discussing such things. We know nothing about Halo 6 let alone the new Xbox lol
We don’t know anything about either Infinite or the next-gen Xbox. Both are likely coming in 2020, less than 2 years away, but we still won’t know anything about the console until mid 2020 and Infinite E3 2019.

But is it ever too early for the speculation hype to begin? I mean… it’s not like that’s ever let us or the devs down in the past… oh wait…
The description of the Halo Infinite trailer says Xbox One and Windows 10 exclusive. I understand that is subject to change but it’s probably the most official news we have regarding the platform.

This post honestly terrifies me as you come off as the kind of person who would’ve rushed into the Xbox One even when it was absolutely loaded with heavily-restrictive DRM. You’re already talking about spending hundreds of dollars on products you’ll likely not know a single thing about for the next year or two.
Get help. I’m not messing with you when I say that it sounds like you have a few serious issues regarding your spending habits.

Why, because he’s excited about the next generation of a console platform that he loves? Regarding the Xbox One, it also would be perfectly reasonable for someone to be excited about it even when it was announced. People can have different opinions than you or the majority/vocal minority. The Xbox One also didn’t have any of the “heavily-restrictive DRM” on release, and even the announced version wasn’t nearly as bad as people griped about (other than the 24-hour ping check in, which would only matter in a small amount of cases anyway, such as for military servicemen).

Because he’s excited for a product that he knows nothing about. Just because you liked the Xbox 360 that doesn’t change the fact that the Xbox One could’ve released with always-online DRM, used game fees, mandatory Kinect (which it actually did launch with for a while,) etc… Maybe the “Xbox Scarlett” will be even worse than that and require subscription fees to play any of your games. None of us know that yet so why get excited? Because of a brand name? Because “we have to beat PlayStation?”
Yes, the Xbox One had a lot of its DRM removed. However, pre-orders were up before those changes were made and I’m confident this guy was one of the few who bent over for Microsoft to pre-order it.

Again, its not your place to judge. Even the Xbox One launching the way it was announced would not have made it an objectively “bad spending choice”, it still would’ve been an opinion thing.
It didn’t launch with mandatory Kinect, depending on how you interpret “mandatory”. For the first bit you could only buy one that came with a Kinect but didn’t have to have it plugged in like was initially announced. It also never had announced game fees. It did announce no used games, but if people actually understood why it would’ve been fine. Looking at all the info when the Xbox One was announced, I thought and still think it would’ve been great. Other that the 24 hour check-in (what you refer to as “always online”), and to a lesser extent the mandatory Kinect connection, the announced version of the Xbox One was better than the one that launched and to an extent the one that we have today. Every console will one day be much like the announced version of the Xbox One anyway, just hasn’t happened yet. Microsoft tried to change too much to fast and people weren’t ready for it. It was just an example of people not actually understanding the details of the product, and bad PR from Microsoft not explaining it well and mainly focusing on the perceived “negatives”.
Some people can enjoy something because of its brand name. I know I for one will be buying Scarlett, maybe not when it launches, but I will buy one. I’ve always been an Xbox guy. I love Halo. I have so many digital games on Xbox. There’s honestly next to nothing that would make me switch at this point.
How could I answer this dude I’m not psychic
Should probably wait until we actually have dates for both before thinking about stuff like this lol

Might end up like Halo 4, built for 360 originally but runs well on one X. Built for One S/X but runs great on Scarlett. Who knows tho. As others have said I’d be waiting till 2020 probably so really excited to see what 343i will be doing for fans in between now and then!

. If enough people financially support something then that becomes the norm and we all have to deal with it so I can judge and will
. Always-online DRM making the Xbox One essentially useless in many countries, the killing of game preservation due to the console relying so heavily on servers that were destined to eventually be shut down forever, etc. are all objectively bad things
. I seem to recall there being an entire year where you had to buy the Kinect which raised the price
. I never said that the Xbox One had game fees; only the hypothetical console we could potentially get in the future
. No used games kills preservation and turns games into a service so, no, it would never have been fine just because your corporate overlords would make more money
. That check-in would kill the console the same way always-online DRM would so it’s no different
Though your admitted brand loyalty to a corporation who only views you as a dollar sign would cloud your judgement so why even argue? You openly admitted to being a fool.
Just so you know, it’s confirmed to be coming for Windows and Xbox One. Don’t really know where this “Xbox Scarlett” thing is coming from.
After Halo 5, I’m not pre-ordering Infinite. I’ll probably play it when it comes to Game Pass.

BOY I JUST BOUGHT AN XBOX ONE X TODAY HOPING THAT I COULD PLAY INFINITE IN 4K. DON’T GO TELLING ME IT’S NOT GONNA BE ON THE XBOX ONE

The reason there’s no point in arguing is because you’re blinded by being such a pessimist that you can’t comprehend that someone could still plan on buying something simply because they are loyal to the brand.
I never said the check in would’ve been a good thing. I never said “always on DRM” was a good thing. It would’ve sucked for a lot of people. But there are plenty of people that wouldn’t have been affected by it. I’m not the kind of person to boycott something. I still would’ve enjoyed the Xbox One had it had those features. I would acknowledge it would suck for some people, but I still would’ve bought it. However, I would’ve also enjoyed several features that our current Xbox One lacks. But whatever, just go ahead and see all the negative.
Calling people fools just because they don’t agree with you isn’t gonna get you far.
In the words of a great spacefarer:
“You are a sad, strange little man. Farewell my friend.”
after the amount of bad releases in recent years i’m surprised anyone is thinking of preordering anything without any information about it.
i’m just thinking of the MCC situation. or the “early access” state h5 was in content wise…
or recently (to look outside of halo): fallout 76. an empty sandbox.
yes you can still have fun with it, but less than 2 weeks after release it is already on sale…
you can even look at sea of thieves. i love that game, but i can understand every critisism about it and espescialy at release it was pretty empty.
thats just a few examples
or the amount of games which add MTs after release to avoid them being considered in reviews.
it baffles me that people still think of pre-ordering at all, but especialy with so little info about a game like we have of halo infinite.
the shady things gaming companies try are supported by this kind of behavior and like someone already mentioned: we all have to keep up with it, as long as enough people still support it.
Scarlett doesn’t release till 2020 and we don’t know an exact date lol. Infinite comes out probably around November like most halo games. You are jumping in head first on the one lol no offense tho but no point in buying a console and a game that it won’t come out on for another year.
