Looks like they are making their push. Wonder if Sony will do anything.

Apologies if this is common knowledge, but is there going to be a Halo:MCC bundle?
Edit: Answered my own question, doesn't seem like there's going to be an official one.

Can't say they aren't trying. I'm this is just for the US?

I don't think so - I would have guessed there would be and I wanted one but it doesn't look like it. Maybe they'll do a Halo 5 one though in the future?

Isn't that only $50 more than what the Wii U bundles are going for now? Crazy.

I'd jump on the SO bundle for that price.

Love this. Bring the competion MS.
I doubt it. But I guess they'll still be satisfied with their fall revenue as Microsoft will be bleeding money this fall (but they can easily take those hits)
It's all about building that userbase and close the gap as much as possible, pretty good deal nonetheless.

Are we sure it isn't Desperate Dan heading Xbox up rather than Phil?
This will make things interesting.

They are doing this for months in Europe but effect is marginal, because X1 is getting so smashed by PS4 around here that is not even funny anymore..

The CoD bundle is $499, so it should be $449, not $349. Unless they're lumping it in, in which case that's by far the best deal given the 1TB HDD.
Wow, 349.99, bundles as well? Very interesting indeed.
EDIT: Actually, thinking more about it, I still say this is an interesting move, but I hope for MS this doesn't devalue Xbox One too much in the eyes of the customers, in the long run. Still, again, very interesting. And it'll probably bring results during the Holidays.

Those include a game, even two though. Still a commendable move on MS' part, hope it pays off. Gotta have that competition!

Sony will respond in some way, but I doubt they straight up match this deal.

huh? the deal is $50 off every SKU. the $349 is just the cheapest one.
Weve been getting some crazy unofficial deals since titanfall hit, online you could get titanfall bundle with kinect for £329 at the time. The leatest deals is two games for £349.

Being sold out doesn't mean great numbers.

Weren't they only sold out at Amazon? I thougth that was the case, in which case, perhaps Amazon had little faith in the XBO selling and didn't get a lot of them stocked.
Maybe the SO bundles were limited. If so, not suprise.
If Microsoft don't act now during this holiday season, they're accepting the L for the generation. And whatever people might say about being happy just making a profit off a decent install base, that's not why MS in the business. So this is good to see.
I always thought the XB1 was a fundamentally ugly box, but damn if that white one isn't trying to make me change my mind. And that's the Sunset Overdrive bundle, too. And those reviews...
Fair play to Microsoft, they've made a console I absolutely hated at launch into something very desirable. If money wasn't an issue I would pick one up.

I only see Sony announcing the GTA V bundle... for 449$.

With that attitude Sony will lose this holiday! They need to counter this with same price or even lower!
well you've had it one year earlier though...
OT, deal is crazy great, 350$ including a game? Sould sway some people....

Including bundles that's kinda nuts. But, sigh, it plays into the pessimistic narrative that's been developing the entire year. I... might bite at this price after some first-party stuff next year since I'm assuming this will turn into a permanent cut.
Awaiting the "What will Sony do?" threads. I'm not sure they have to do anything. Some people are wondering why there's no official GTAV bundle (and it's extremely, extremely late to offer one this close to release) so perhaps they're saving that as a pack-in for the holidays. That would also be competitive and have the biggest imaginable name recognition.
