Xbox DOUBLES THE PRICE Of Xbox Live Gold! TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE & Very Anti-Consumer!!

Microsoft
has just announced a major PRICE INCREASE for Xbox Live Gold for Xbox
Series X, Series S and Xbox One effectively doubling the price from $60 a
year to $120 a year!! Whats your thoughts?

Do Scalpers matter more then in store gaming consumers?

It sure seems that both companies are catering way more to the
scalpers and internet bots instead of the in person gaming consumers
that go to a outlet store with the hopes of buying a console for $499.

If you go to a Walmart or Target, Best Buy or Gamestop on and on
etc the first thing you see or hear is please go online to purchase this
product and that throws you right back into the scalping scam.

There
are tons and tons of semi trucks on the road that could easily stock
the shelves at any or all stores that carry gaming consoles/games.

The masses are sick of both companies catering to internet scam that helps scalpers more then it does the in store consumer.

It
provides the scalpers the ability of buying hundreds of units under
various emails and scalping bots and taking a $499 product and selling
them for $650, $850 and $1000 or more while the consumer/gamer should be
using that extra money to buy the new games
and accessories for the new consoles they have waited for all year.

Meanwhile
the in person consumer is not getting a chance to buy a console at any
outlet store that sells gaming products and forces the gaming consumer
to read the sign at the store that says this can only be purchased
online and the gaming consumer is forced
to be pushed back into the internet scam that is designed for the
scalpers to rip off the gaming consumers who take the time to drive to a
store to get ripped off yet again.

Even if you sign up to
get notified with these outlet stores when a new shipment of consoles
arrive online they are already gone before anyone has a chance to
actually be notified to get a new console because of all the inside
hacker bots getting them and
other insider methods at work against the in store consumer.

Its
a shame that there are more Xbox X's series and PS5's gathering dust
and being hoarded by scalpers and being stupidly overpriced instead of
Gamers being able play and enjoy them after waiting so long for both
consoles to be released.

Microsoft and Sony are Billion
dollar companies that should step up to the plate and stock the shelves
for the in person consumer no matter what it takes to put a end to these
outrages prices on Ebay and other forums that are taking part in this!

Both companies have the units in stock to make this happen.

Its a massive RED FLAG when you see a single Xbox series x console on Walmarts main page for $1500.


Microsoft Corp and Sony Corp should say Enough is Enough and support
the in person gaming consumers put a end to this BS and load up the semi
trucks for two months straight and cut the head off of the scalpers

If
Samsung made the Xbox series x or the PS5 you could almost guarantee
that all outlet stores would have plenty of them for the public consumer
at the advertised price of $499.

This thread bothers them so much they chose to lock it.

I guess its the truth is to bothersome
