    I’ve had one for years, it’s called a PC!

    No disc drive … Ouch

      Honestly if there was adequate storage most people would switch to digital like they did with PC. It’s sad that game preservation is becoming harder and DRM is taking over, inevitable though.

    So no cpu, memory, gpu upgrade? Pointless

      I think they release it’s pointless to put effort into real upgrades because the systems won’t sell well either way. Just doing the bare minimum to stay relevant.

    Well here’s my damn question I would like to know if I can be able to trade in my current Xbox series X for the two terabyte version of the series X just because I want to get a little bit more storage out of it I just recently got my Xbox series X for $400 on Amazon

    Greedy. They should have released a pro model at the price or have lowered the prices across the board. I will wait for the PS5 pro.

      Probaby excess inventory they have to get rid of. As they prepare for a new pro version

    June 9, 2024 at 7:45 pm

    I guess if you only play gamepass games then then the discless is probably worth it. Otherwise, I’d just go for the one with the disc drive or wait until the mid-gen series x upgrade (which is probably not far out now I imagine) .

  9. @Jiren0420

    June 9, 2024 at 7:47 pm

    Why not 8TB? Ugh!!!

    If they ever force no more disc’s I’m done. I use gamestop ALOT. Gotta have a disc.

  12. @NolanNolan-qe7re

    June 9, 2024 at 8:15 pm

    Is should be 400 not 450

    • @e3vL1

      June 9, 2024 at 9:15 pm

      No it should be 300, 350 tops

      You can get 1tb Xbox series x with disc for 400 most retailers

      You’re basically paying a premium for a white color console without a disc drive

    • @1080ilowres

      June 9, 2024 at 9:19 pm

      Agreed. I’m happy if they price it 450 for a 2tb version.

  13. @edwellmanyika5868

    June 9, 2024 at 8:24 pm

    Why did they remake the same white old series s which people were already fed up of when they recently launched a new black 1 tera ?

  14. @PVFriends_VCAM50

  17. @CA-tk8yn

    June 9, 2024 at 8:44 pm

    Sounds like like a 3 pitch strikeout to me. No faster processor, no better controllers, just color changes and the removal of the disc with more memory. I’d rather have the old one and just buy the extra memory.

  18. @SirCamWA

    June 9, 2024 at 8:55 pm

    Pushing towards digital only to people have no avenue for physical anymore. Lovely relying on a digital store, servers, and account licenses for my games instead of just popping a disc that I borrowed from a friend. So backwards.

  19. @e3vL1

    June 9, 2024 at 9:13 pm

    Xbox series x all digital is a ripp off at $450

    You can get a regular Xbox series x with disc for $400 most retailers

    So you’re basically paying for no disc and white color for $50

  20. @dwill658

    June 9, 2024 at 9:14 pm

    Is the new controller with haptics included?

  21. @MichaelBohemian

    June 9, 2024 at 9:15 pm

    It’s not a new console, but since y’all are consumers they’re selling you whatever you’ll buy. It’s just a new case and a few 1 more TB. Remember when new consoles were knew before the brainless bought anything that was sold to them.????????????

  22. @1080ilowres

    June 9, 2024 at 9:15 pm

    Actually this is an easy way to sell the xbox series x’s that have failed disk drives whichs is common. They just remove the faulty disk internally, refurbish the console and cover it with the “Robot white shell”.

    The dimensions, specs and everything else look identical to vanilla xbox series x.

    It would be worth it if they sold it at that price with a 2tb ssd to make it a 4k premium gamepass console.

  23. @dwill658

    June 9, 2024 at 9:16 pm

    So they want u to pay $600 then a extra $70 for the new controller smh

  24. @Suhadisgood

    June 9, 2024 at 9:20 pm

    Why would I pay $600 for a console that’s not next gen I’ll wait until the next gen Xbox comes out if that one has 2TB great I’ll pay $600 but for an extra TB storage no thanks Microsoft better continue with physical consoles every year digital I buy when the entire DLC is complete like tekken 7 ultimate no more new DLC coming that’s it that I bought for just $17.99 instead of $119

  25. @stuntmangabe

    June 9, 2024 at 9:23 pm

    This is exactly what I wanted – bigger storage! You’d have to be greedy and dumb to come out with a console with bigger specs, especially since we’re nearing the end of this current gen console!

There is no such thing as the perfect pitch. But you can get close by implementing a few research-backed methods to your delivery, deck, and message.

In this episode of Build Mode, host Isabelle Johannesen sits down with Dr. Eike Gerhardt, who has aPhD in pitching and spent nearly a decade studying the science of startup pitching before starting Autopoiesis Sciences. And he’s joined by Demetri Maxim, co-founder and CEO of Nephrogen, who came in second at TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 2025.

Together, they break down Demetri’s actual Startup Battlefield pitch to unpack what worked, what could be improved, and what research tells us about how investors respond to founders. Eike explains why credibility signals matter, how technical founders can simplify without oversimplifying, and why Q&A should be treated as a second pitch. Demetri shares how he learned to explain complex biotech to generalist investors, how redesigning his deck changed his confidence onstage, and what he would do differently today.
They also explore how body language and authenticity affect a pitch, how investor questions can reveal bias, and how founders can use AI to prepare for difficult Q&A.
