Legendary Drops calls a "$2,000 Xbox" college-fund money

A reported next-generation price range sparks first-console memories and a comment section five times busier than usual.

Why this story? The video drew 1,410 comments in its first day, 5 times a normal first day on this channel (280).

A $2,000 Xbox Isn't a Christmas presentA $2,000 Xbox Isn't a Christmas present

Legendary Drops has posted a gaming commentary clip that starts with a familiar question: who bought you your first console? The speaker's answer, usually your parents, becomes his argument against a much more expensive Xbox.

The Short, "A $2,000 Xbox Isn't a Christmas present", reacts to a CharlieIntel post citing Fortune. That post puts the projected price between $1,200 and $1,800 unless Microsoft subsidizes some of the cost. It is a reported projection, not an announced retail price.

"This isn't a Christmas present, this is the start of a kid's college fund," the speaker jokes in the clip on the highlights channel.

The views were ordinary for Legendary Drops, but the conversation wasn't: first-day comments came in at five times the channel's usual pace for Shorts. Viewers compare the title's price with their first cars, remember console bundles and question how subscriptions and games would fit into that budget.

Others challenge the speaker's recollection of what consoles used to cost, reaching back to cheaper Xbox 360 models and their own childhood purchases. The discussion also turns toward PCs: some suggest buying an upgradeable machine, while others make a case for building one together as the gift itself.

One particularly simple memory cuts through the hardware arguments: a viewer recalls their parents buying a PlayStation 2 bundled with Ratchet & Clank.

What viewers say

  • $2000 is way closer to my first car than my first PC.
  • For that money a better Christmas present would be the experience of building your pc with the ones you love.

  • "these used to cost $600" sir... A basic XBox 360 used to be $300.

  • For $2000 I expect all the games on there to be free and I don't have to pay ANY subscription.
  • that money would be better spent on a prebuilt or refurbished business PC (ive seen decent HP ones) that you gradually swap components out or save for a full rig. you can also do more than gaming on it as well
  • It wasn't that long ago that consoles were considered a big spend at $350
