The retail price is still $300, but as mentioned above right now is THE best time unless you want to wait next year. It's on sale for $250 everywhere, actually $180 (for the non-S) off MS Store. I feel that Target's price is the best. $250 One S (Battlefield or Minecraft) + $30 gift card + 15% off (CartWheel coupon app) or $212 + $30 Target gift card.
Prices will probably plateau and remain steady after the Holidays. Unless sales really start to decline I doubt they will discount them much until maybe the next Black Friday.
By then people will be talking about the console that replaces the Xbox One S.
This past Black Friday / Cyber Monday was probably the best bundles we will see for this generation. I doubt they make much profit per unit so the incentive to make many more units is probably not there.
I think Xbox Live is a must have with Xbox... you get free games every month (and this month includes Burnout Paradise... GREAT game... although not all months are so hot...) and I think the multiplayer experience it provides is worth an entry price.Looks like Newegg's latest deal is the Xbox One S game bundle with an extra wireless controller and 12 months of Xbox Live Gold for $250... Hmm, should I bite?

I'm still seeing the XBL Gold included, at least for the BF1 bundle... Here is the Slickdeals link: https://slickdeals.net/f/9579648-50...ntroller-12-month-xbox-live-gold-250-free-s-h
Decided to bite, because why not...
For you personally yes but not all of us like playing games on a PC.Besides 4K BluRay, I personally can't think of a reason to buy XB1 after MS decided to release Forza Horizon 3, Gears games, Quantum Break, etc. on the PC. Halo 5 isn't even good. The minute MS announced that XB1 exclusives would be available on the PC, the console lost any value it had for me.

That is a fantastic deal. I wish we had something close to that up here in the Great White North. Merry Xmas!
To be clear, project Scorpio won't replace the S. It's in addition to. All games will function between both consoles.
That's not really true, although it depends on whether Scorpio does well or not (and I guess in some sense the Switch). Unlike the PS4, MS isn't mandating that games work on both consoles (although I do think Sony is waffling on this). So if Scorpio is a hit, I could see developers dropping the XBone.
