The holidays are starting early this year as the Season of Xbox will begin on November 2, when Xbox One will be available for a special, limited-time promotional offer of $349 in the U.S. Special promotional pricing of $50 off the console of your choice applies to any Xbox One console, including special edition bundles, offering some of the year’s most anticipated games - Assassin’s Creed: Unity, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Sunset Overdrive. With Xbox One available at its best price yet, and savings up to $150 off select bundles, there’s never been a better time to own an Xbox One.

A few people were saying just yesterday to expect something like this. Good move as some of those bundles are nice.

 

[Cheesemeister]

I'm guessing "$50 off the console of your choice" doesn't include the PS4 or Wii U...

 

[Twin Tails]

Damn aggressive MS

 

[DryvBy]

I'm guessing "$50 off the console of your choice" doesn't include the PS4 or Wii U...

That's what I was thinking.

 

[Chobel]

MS are not fucking around this Holiday.

 

[R3TRO]

Must resist buying a white one.

 

[malfcn]

Going all in with promotions.
Deep pockets making it happen.

 

[DrM]

Sony will probably announce GTA V bundle for US

 

[V_Ben]

Whoa. That seems a little drastic, but let's hope it pays off.

 

[ZeroX03]

$349 for the AC and Sunset Overdrive console bundles? Shit MS, you bringing it.

 

[illmatic22]

I can hold out for a $300 bundle sometime next year

 

[Duxxy3]

Called it. Too much smoke for their not to be a fire.

I wouldn't expect the price to go back up in January. This is a price cut.

 

[Shyakugaun]

I'm guessing "$50 off the console of your choice" doesn't include the PS4 or Wii U...

so hilarious ............

 

[hagege_s]

Wonder if Sony will do the same.

 

[MThanded]

Promo should have started tommorow. I want my sunset overdrive bundle. Will need to wait now.

 

[Jburton]

Great value for consumers, but they need to be careful as it is constantly on different deals that are getting better each time.

Why buy one this week? They might give a away 3 games and put $80 in your bank account next week.


Also the continued lack of success against its rival while giving tonnes of stuff away starts to paint it in a bad light after awhile.

It's not far off fire sale status if this keeps up.

Then again, damned if you do and damned if you don't.

 

[Guymelef]

Called it. Too much smoke for their not to be a fire.

Yep.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Well they had to do something they are getting dominated.

 

[GeoramA]

They want the November NPD bad :lol

Good promotion, but I hope there's a better Black Friday deal than this.

 

[Bgamer90]

I wouldn't expect the price to go back up in January. This is a price cut.

I think you may be right.

 

[Sovereign]

Oh shit, that white one looks nice.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Why not start the promotion this week instead of next? Still, smart move MS. You should have went 100 off for the kill since 50 is chump change.

 

[Chobel]

I guess this what Pachter was talking about.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Called it. Too much smoke for their not to be a fire.

I wouldn't expect the price to go back up in January. This is a price cut.

Yup, they probably won't up this to 399$ again all of a sudden.

 

[Mugatu]

Yup, this really should be the regular price considering the price of the PS4.

 

[hagege_s]

Sony will probably announce GTA V bundle for US

This bundle is at 439€ (so probably $439). It's almost $100 more than an Xbox One bundle. What's going to happen ?

 

[slavesnyder]

microsoft playing price-limbo.

how low can you go?

 

[Doffen]

Yup, they probably won't up this to 399$ again all of a sudden.

..

$50 off any Xbox One console or bundle. Offer valid November 2, 2014 through January 3, 2015 at participating retailers.

 

[illmatic22]

From $500, to this (without kinect) 2nd place Xbox is best Xbox

 

[Duxxy3]

Promo should have started tommorow. I want my sunset overdrive bundle. Will need to wait now.

Do places like bestbuy have price protection?

 

[Asd202]

MS are not fucking around this Holiday.

There not afraid of taking a profit hit left and right.

 

[Chobel]

What about people who pre-ordered SO bundle? Are they going to have that $50 off promotion? Or is it too late for them?

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Going hard in the paint

 

[Jburton]

There not afraid of taking a profit hit left and right.

Profit is something they had to forgo quite a while ago.

 

[Atilac]

Too little, too late. Might as well wait another year, they'll knock another 150 off.

 

[MrCookiepants]

Price dropping $150 in less than a year. What a disaster!

 

[Bgamer90]

From $500, to this (without kinect) 2nd place Xbox is best Xbox

They've technically always been 2nd place in NA.

This deal also applies to the Xbox One Assassin's Creed bundle with Kinect too -- $450 (instead of $500). Three free games. Really good deal.

 

[derFeef]

Too little, too late. Might as well wait another year, they'll knock another 150 off.

Wouldn't that be even later?

 

[Asd202]

If this won't let them win against Sony in NPD I don't think anything will until some crazy Halo 5 bundle.

 

[Bgamer90]

Too little, too late.

So they shouldn't have done this to try and be more competitive? A whole lot of people will be jumping to current gen this Holiday season.

Might as well wait another year, they'll knock another 150 off.

Hey, might as well wait three years. I'm sure all consoles will be under $300 by then.

 

[GarciaHotspur]

So Xbox One + Kinect + AC IV and AC UNity for 349$ ?

What the fuck is happening ?

I love it !!

EDIT : 349$ is without kinect but still very good !

 

[SmokedMeat]

Throw in a free game or gift card retailers will be doing on BF, and this is quite a nice deal!

 

[Asd202]

Hey, might as well wait three years. I'm sure all consoles will be under $300 by then.

To be fair they did drop the price by $150 in less than a year.

 

[Nightengale]

I love it !!

No Kinect

 

[n!smo]

I'm guessing "$50 off the console of your choice" doesn't include the PS4 or Wii U...

lol

 

[GarciaHotspur]

No Kinect

Yes, misread thanks !

 

[Duxxy3]

Throw in a free game or gift card retailers will be doing on BF, and this is quite a nice deal!

I think that is exactly what the BF deals will be. Getting the last 2 AC games plus a gift card or another free game is an absurd deal.

 

[Chobel]

..

$400 in Jan 4th is kinda sudden.

 

[Bgamer90]

To be fair they did drop the price by $150 in less than a year.

People who aren't interested in kinect can definitely see it that way.
