Xbox One Available for $349 in the U.S. This Holiday Season
- Thread starter RedAssedApe
- Start date
Has there been any suggestion of a Canadian deal? The Kinectless SKU has always cost around $350 US here in Canada with our exchange.
Desperation price cuts = fiddle playing?

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
I'm getting tired of seeing people say this.
It's called being competitive and its a 100% win for consumers and I applaud MS for wanting to compete.
I am now excited to see how Sony will respond.
I wonder if perhaps MS is holding these for November 2nd, because right when Amazon ran out, so did Best Buy and MS' own store.

That's a pretty old deal, but the price is going to have to dip much lower for what's essentially going to be an exclusives machine for me.
A few more decent exclusives wouldn't hurt either. I can't just play Ryse and Dead Rising 3 after all.

Great to see MS rising to the competition. I honestly think Xbone has the superior year 1 games lineup. It was the price, forced Kinect bundle, and overall negative buzz that really hurt them.
MS does their best work when they are in panic mode. I hope this is just the beginning.

Yep me too, hoping it drops soon so I can lock in an order. Haven't played BF either, so it's a pretty good deal.

January is nowhere near the holiday season in terms of sales. I do hope Sony responds though so I can pick up a PS4 earlier than I expected. (I already own an XB1)

Is it worth it to hold out till black Friday? Is there a chance retailers will provide a bigger discount or bundle more games?
There's nothing desperate about a $50 price drop off a $400-$500 item. It's called being competitive. They know Sony can't match it because Sony itself is in such dire straits. It's smart business.
And Quantum Break, Scalebound, Ori, and Inside
They've got no reason to cut price when people are paying up regardless
And while their software is lacking this year it's coming soon, nothing you can really do about that, takes studios a year or two to ramp up on a new console.
They've been lazy on PS+ though, I'll say that

You're chum. Nothing more.
UK. If it's a bundle, please make it to the states as well.

isn't the PS4 selling at a small loss? I highly doubt they do anything drastic, since they are selling well at the current price point.

Dropping the effective price by 200$ in less than a year from launch is not desperation?
Has any other console ever come close to that?
Xbox One is 400 Dollars = Too expensive.
Xbox one price cut 50 Dollars = MS is desperate.
MS and Xbox will never catch a break around here.
Now now, lets not tell lies around here, the kinect bundle is not 300$

Man, this a good deal, no way around that. I also hope sony does something like this, I had the cash for my ps4 this past month, but opted to hold off one more month to wait for some black friday/holiday deals this month, hopefully they offer more than just a GTA5 bundle, while I enjoyed the game, I'd kind of rather have something new I haven't played as my first purchase.
Either way though, if you've been sitting on the fence, with the reviews for SO being so great and this excellent price, now's a good time to scoop up that X1.

Sony has a pre-order promotion with GTA5 that is encouraging people to pre-order before November 3rd. I wonder if they have their own surprise up their sleeve.

These are not contradictory, in spite what your Xbox persecution complex might tell you.

Much like the Wii U, I'll sit patiently and see how low they can go.

Again, in spite of what your persecution complex will tell you, I did not tell a lie.
The Xbox One went from strictly available for 500$, to 350$ + free game (effectively 290$).
Which part of that is a lie?
You think they are doing it out of the goodness of their hearts? It is what it is.
Removing Kinect, giving free games away, this price drop etc. are all as a result of the PS4 dominating. There's no ifs or buts about that.
The good part is that if you are interesting in the X1 then you can land some good deals as a result of the above.

That's a damn good deal. Very tempting, but I'm still going to hold off on next-gen for a while longer while I save money to eventually get both a PS4 and XBO.

I smell a shitpost
Yeah but they are competing at least. Which to me is perfect as I can get a brand new console cheap
What kind of twisted logic is this.. I don't even...
Who cares why they're doing it... It's good for consumers! Not everyone is rich.
They've lowered the entry price, it's very different to a price cut.
Xbox persecution complex? ohh boy, honestly, I dont care about console wars, but is funny to see people reaction over these things. and yes they are contradictory, as if you are complaining that something is too expensive and then proceed to complain if this item have a price cut that is just been hypocrite over the matter.

So if you release your system at a reasonable launch price its all good but if the "competition" starts using YOLO strats then you expect the winning company to go low just because or else they are lazy? Everyone should take a loss since MS is desperate? Not to say that this deal in and of itself isn't good because it is. Even I started itching at that $350 price tag and as someone who had a 360 last Gen who played Halo 3 like a fiend its even, dare I say, a little tempting. But this is desperate and they definitely are taking a loss on the system right now. If they sold the Xbone for s $100 would you expect Sony or Nintendo to play ball because they had to? If Sony responds it'll be because they want to, not have to. Its not lazy to know you are winning and not respond to desperation.
Besides, if the PS4 went for $350 or $300 it would still be king atm..
Agreed. It's a great console.

Pretty sure they are making a profit on each sale.
Damn that is aggressive as hell...I pretty much only really want Halo: MCC but good God that is a sweet deal. Sunset Overdrive is starting to be too interesting to be able to ignore...
This move definitely feels like a big charge, Microsoft has the better holiday line-up this year (besides Wii U at least) and they know it. $50 under the competition combined with more quality games = Microsoft's best chance of overtaking PS4.
Really curious how November and December's NPD's are going to be...

So the November 2nd date makes this really inconvenient for the Sunset Overdrive bundle. I had planned on using a 10% off coupon at Best Buy. However, if I use it at the time of purchase to bring the console down to $360, I'm no longer eligible for the price matching come Nov. 2, per Best buy policy.
If I wait until Nov. 2 to buy, I can buy it for $350 and use the 10% off coupon and get it for $315. However, they'll all be sold out by then.
Right now I'm thinking the best option is to go buy it tomorrow, don't open it, return it Sunday for a full refund, then repurchase it right then when it will ring up at the $350 price and I can use my coupon.

What is Inside?
I don't even have an Xbox one yet but I already ordered one.
So I guess I'm buying an Xbox one on black friday
