Sounds like a lot of fun actually, but I was hoping there would be competitive multiplayer with that kind of movement system. I'm still intrigued though, because the multi mode it does have still sounds like fun.

This price drop might be enough for me to pull the trigger though

So I'm pissed at them and waiting for black Friday sales. Hopefully a 3 for 2.

Anyone have the left stick start drifting? I might call and bitch and see if I can send it back to them for free repair. If not I'll start hacking

I'd like to kick this Xbox out forever because I hate the controller and feel like they took some major steps backwards from 360, but I want to see if ps4 drops first. At least wait til black Friday and see if I can get a bundle or something.

No need to

them things flying off the shelves all over the world. I think Xbox is just trying to make an attempt in regaining the U.S. with this price cut over the holidays combined with Halo and COD dropping.

So for $329, you get the Assassins Creed bundle plus a $50 gift card. I'm almost tempted to get an XOne for the bedroom.

I'd probably buy enough games for them to make their money back long term.

I get what you're saying though, a lot of other people already got it at that price and they're killing the Xbox in sales.

I just hope this pushes Xbox to keep developing their system as there's a lot of potential there that has been unfulfilled in the first year of the system.

and get another $100, so presumably you can score a X1 for $250:

to best buy, they just made sure it powered on. got $100 + $50 coupon towards XB1. came out to $250 + tax for the system. not bad, especially considering i had that ps3 lying around for almost a year gathering dust.

Seriously though

You'd be crazy NOT to do this. The bundles they have are pretty damn nice and you're looking at $250 for a system and a game, depending on the bundle two games.

C'mon man, you know you wanna do it. All the cool kids are doing it.

That white system with Sunset is an even better deal than the COD system in my opnion. $100 less and still getting a free game and white system. The 1TB drive on the COD bundle isn't a big deal to me since you can just hook an external drive up to the systems anyway. I kinda want to open up the white one. I got it hidden from my daughter in my closet till Christmas lol.

i think 360 did that, not sure if xb1 does. that'd be great. wonder if PS4 can also do this, i'm already thinking of upping my PS4 HDD to at least a TB

PS4 can't do that but since you can upgrade its internal, I'm not sure if they'll ever add external hard drive game storage support.

looking at the MS store the elibible bundles don't include the sunset bundle or the assassin's bundle. the only one is the COD bundle for $450 ($350 after trade in).

30. "best buy is better deal, only $189"
In response to Reply # 28


  

          

yo, just got the XB1 for $189 at best buy. till 11/15/2014 they are running a deal with guaranteed $100 gift card for trade in of 360 or PS3 plus and extra $50 if you put towards an XB1. here's the thing, they also give another $10 for each controller you turn in, including the one that comes with the system.

breakdown:
+ $349 XB1 bundle sale price (i got the AC Unity)
- $100 console trade in
- $10 controller trade in
- $50 extra trade in till 11/15/2014

= $189 for brand new XB1 bundle.
