[Doug Heffernan]

No way this is true.

 

[SeanR1221]

Ahahahahahaha. That can't be right. Wtf?

 

[Kibbles]

 

[dealer-]

Oh dear, I can imagine all the one-star amazon reviews already when people get home and realise they need to buy one.

 

[LiK]

this is beyond silly

 

[Bitch Pudding]

I don't believe it.

 

[darkwing]

Is no one reading the bit where it DOES include the controller?

no one reads anymore

 

[Vandiger]

I want this to fail. Good job MS

 

[Stiler]

You got to be kidding me. Do they not realize how many paeople are going to buy these for gifts or something and then be upset when they can't even play it without buying a controller.

 

[Proxy]

Taking that Nintendo route. Bold choice.

 

[Loudninja]

Eh I think its juts a mistake.

 

[RibMan]

This makes zero sense. It has to be a mistake on the fine print or journalist's part.

 

[Purdy]

Damn some people in here gonna look pretty stupid

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

WAT

 

[warheat]

DOA if true

 

[RulkezX]

Also 500 GB HDD?

It even said in the ad "up to 2TB storage" some users just jumped the gun and decided it was 299 for 2TB

 

[Freeman]

Can't be true, the most stupid thing ever.

 

[Risk Breaker]

Microsoft gonna Microsoft. Lol

Not even themselves believe new customers will buy their console or what???

 

[Gaspard]

Nope. it does.

Product description from YouTube mentions this:

[Dominator]

If it's $299 with no controller and it's the 500GB, nevermind... Was gonna get it but not like that.

 

[SparkleMotion]

Everyone is too busy rushing to get reaction pictures and gifs instead of noticing the several corrections, and how is this is not true.

 

[DomsPlaying]

This cannot be true, can it?

Talk about confusing advertising, since all the pictures show this "new" controller alongside the Slim model!

 

[tskeeve]

This almost seems too absurd to be true.

 

[impact]

LMAO

So $360 + tax if you wanna actually be able to play games. Stay slimy MS.

 

[CHC]

yo dey shud call it xbox360 cuz thats gonna b the price once u get da controlelr

 

[Dunlop]

I want this to fail. Good job MS

Wtf?

 

[jmaine_ph]

Wow. Was this a last minute ditch to cut cost? This is some bullshit.

 

[franknbeans]

Read my mind

 

[Blanquito]

Wait, what?

 

[Kysuke]

I don't believe it.

this

 

[PMS341]

Decisions were made.

Why, and how, and by whom, I may never know, but it continues to puzzle me nonetheless.

 

[IcyRhythms]

All we have to do is give crazy feedback on Twitter. They'll feel pressure

 

[calder]

I can't imagine that's true.


... right?

 

[ProvenDeadly]

It's probably not true lmao

 

[ThanksVision]

no way this is true you fools, I'll eat 50 lbs of crow if so

 

[Camoxide]

Does it come with an HDMI lead?

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

This is crazy...

 

[somecrazymember]

Probably a bug. They cant be THAT stupid

 

[On Demand]

Come on guys, why wouldn't it include a controller.........

 

[Boke1879]

Seems like the $299 will be just for the box and they'll have another model that's more expensive?

 

[Steve McQueen]

Damn... Who made that decision?

 

[Shahadan]

That would basically be them admitting no one wants an xbox one and the only people buying the slim one would be upgrading their OG one, lol

 

[Little Mons†er]

never mind!

Can't read

 

[KingV]

People should read the part where it says the controller is included...

 

[Purdy]

Wtf?

Thats a pretty common opinion on here it seems lol

 

[idhindsight]

lol even when it looks like microsoft is going to something right, they still bone it all up.

slimmer? check
in-body power supply? check
upscaling? check
controller? lol no

 

[Cornbread78]

Really surprised they are marketing this as an "upgrade" rather than a "winback" product.....


EDIT, it's false...

 

[shotgunbob04]

What the fuck hahaha

Such a dumb move by Microsoft. They must figure the only people buying this already have an XBO.

Definitely not worth leaving a controller out in order to market it as $299.

Edit: looks like the controller actually does come with the console.

 

[kharma45]

Nope. it does.

Product description from YouTube mentions this:

And hyperbolic panic over.

 

[brawly]

Surely not? Worse than N3DS if so
