But let's be honest they make more money by not bundeling, everyone is still going to buy a system and then buy the MCC... then they don't have to discount MCC at all and make bankI'm really surprised they didn't do a MCC bundle. Would sell like hotcakes.
I already pre ordered unity bundle, now do I have to order again on november 2nd to get at the price of $350?Microsoft has announced that for the holiday season the Xbox One will be $350/$450 which is a $50 price cut. This includes all bundles including the Assassin's Creed Bundle, COD Bundle, and Sunset Overdrive Bundle.
Starts November 2nd and runs until January.

Shocked that in less then a year, the Xbox one has seen a $100 price cut!
Can I take my receipt to bestbuy next week and get them to give me $50 back on the sunset overddrive bundle? Or should I just be happy that my movers coupon worked? I'm really sick of waiting but $50 is $50I already pre ordered unity bundle, now do I have to order again on november 2nd to get at the price of $350?
as long as it is within the first 15 days... yea you can get the $50 back, but you may not be able to use the coupon.Can I take my receipt to bestbuy next week and get them to give me $50 back on the sunset overddrive bundle?

So they won't just put the $50 back on my card. $50 vs $40 is still $10 difference but, don't really feel like dealing with customer support over $10. I'll just email them and ask themas long as it is within the first 15 days... yea you can get the $50 back, but you may not be able to use the coupon.
Best bet, Honestly they would just do a return rebuy in store, so if you had another coupon... then it might work since it wouldn't actually be a pricematch, but return rebuySo they won't just put the $50 back on my card. $50 vs $40 is still $10 difference but, don't really feel like dealing with customer support over $10.

Like I said if they can get them to do a return re-buy it might work, and seeing as they are calling this a price cut and not a sale, he might be able to do that. I mean anyone can go in next week buy a bundle for $350 and use the movers coupon, no reason why doing it this week should hurt them.They'll probably give you $10 back since the coupon made the bundle $360. They probably won't give you 50$ back on top of the $40 you already got off for the system.
The movers coupon is invalidated the day you activate it online right? Is the in store code still good if I used the online code? Not sure I really want to go back to bestbuy but it would $85 off of retail if it worked right? But, my sunset overddrive comes with $10 gift card apparently making it roughly $350 anyway. Should I just leave well enough alone? This whole thing is driving me crazy if you're gonna offer a brand new limited bundle at least discount it the day of release and not 4 days later. Are you trying to make me insane microsoft?Best bet, Honestly they would just do a return rebuy in store, so if you had another coupon... then it might work since it wouldn't actually be a pricematch, but return rebuy
Very cool. Still probably not enough to push me over the edge this year. If there was a more attractive bundle, like with Dragon Age or something, that might have done it.Microsoft has announced that for the holiday season the Xbox One will be $350/$450 which is a $50 price cut.

Now that I've watched a couple of reviews, I'm feeling the Sunset Overdrive hype pretty strongly. :lol:You could always sell off the codes for either Sunset Overdrive, or Assassin's Creed Unity+Black Flags then buy Dragon Age or whatever game you want.
I hate to say this again, since it seems to constantly end up being proven wrong.I said it before, Microsoft is going to pull out all the stops to win November and this is only the beginning. If you haven't bought yet I suggest waiting until black Friday, I could see getting a free year of live and a retail game of choice with any bundle of choice for $300.
Me too budddy but, I've come to the point that $50 over the course of 5 years of enjoyment is a drop in the bucket I guess. I'm kinda coming into the whole sunset overdrive thing completely blind. All I know is that the artwork is awesome. Think I'll grab the hat in store tomorrow. Btw what kind of update time am I looking at when I finally get home tommorow? No chance the bundle has the latest firmware already on it right?Here's our Sunset Overdrive review, btw. Not written by me, but I'm getting the game tomorrow with the white console. Hope El Swordo and I can get a bit of money back when the $50 drop hits.
Stock appears to be limited on the white console though, if the online preorder sellouts are any indication. I was lucky that BestBuy still let me preorder in store after they sold out online.Yeah, best bet is to wait until Black Friday. This $50 off promo is good until next year so you really risk nothing at all if you wait until than. Unless you want to play those new titles right away.
It might be newer firmware but it won't be the October update. The console firmwares aren't too big though; mine downloads and installs them in 10 minutes or so.Btw what kind of update time am I looking at when I finally get home tommorow? No chance the bundle has the latest firmware already on it right?
Yeah unless you want the white Xbox one you should probably do the deal now rather than later.Stock appears to be limited on the white console though, if the online preorder sellouts are any indication. I was lucky that BestBuy still let me preorder in store after they sold out online.
Is that 12:01 a.m. EST on Day 1 (11/4) or 12:01 a.m. EST on Day Zero (11/3)?Call of Duty Advanced Warfare got its digital unlock time changed from 3:00AM Eastern to 12:01AM Eastern. I'll definitely be playing at midnight now.
My BestBuy isn't doing on or I'd totally be there at midnight.If there's a midnight release, I'm sure you can.
StopNo I mean right freaking now. Bestbuy shouldn't play with people like that and display ready for pickup if it's not ready for pickup
lol it says ready for pickup it should be ready for pickupStoping whining. Today is not the release date so wait a god damn day.
OK, go in the store and see how far it gets you.lol it says ready for pickup it should be ready for pickup
C'mon now. the guy is just excited to get his new machine, can you blame him?Stoping whining. Today is not the release date so wait a god damn day.
I agree this is confusing but I usually get 2 emails from them, one that says the order will be ready on Tuesday, and then the more confusing one that says the order is ready. Sadly they won't give it to you before the release date.lol it says ready for pickup it should be ready for pickup
Patience isn't one of my strong suitsOK, go in the store and see how far it gets you.
Im guessing you hardly deal with best buy because when you do an online pre-order for store pick up you almost always get an e-mail the day before saying its ready to pick up because they process it early to make sure its ready the next day at the start of business.
You seriously need to learn to be freaking patient. You've waited over a month you can't wait one more day?
I'm mostly irritated because hes been like this ever since the xbox one free game promo. He gets an answer to questions then asks the same question over and over again hoping someone will tell him what he wants to hear. He did this with the Xbox One free game promo, the GCU unlock promo, the $50 price cut today and other things across different threads. Its just starting to get old now.C'mon now. the guy is just excited to get his new machine, can you blame him?
Well I'm just impatient and angry because I feel like something I've been looking forward too for a long time is being ruined by the fact that I thought I was getting a good deal when I ordered the thing and now I feel like I'm getting a worse deal then everybody else. On top of that I had the day off and nothing better to do. So I'm sorry if I complained too much.I'm mostly irritated because hes been like this ever since the xbox one free game promo.

I told you already. If you have another movers coupon just go back in the store on sunday and do a return rebuy.Well I'm just impatient and angry because I feel like something I've been looking forward too for a long time is being ruined by the fact that I thought I was getting a good deal when I ordered the thing and now I feel like I'm getting a worse deal then everybody else.

Yes for him its been like that for 2 months lol.That time of the month, eh?
Grats man, I hope it works out for you getting that credit (save that email haha).Well that couldn't have gone better. Bestbuy creditied my account $50 preemptively.
Yeah, here's the link to download it:So can I load most recent os on a flash drive so I'm ready tommorow?
That just redirects to the home page of xbox.com for some reason. Edit I found the right page via google. Can you skip over updates or do you have to do one at a time?Yeah, here's the link to download it:
http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/system/offline-system-update-diagnostic-tool
You'll most likely need OSUDT1 and a 2GB flash drive.
They have to utilize the transparent tiles on the Xbox one. I don't see the sense of a custom background due to the screen being so heavily dominated by the tiles.The transparent tiles are on the new 8.1 update for windows phone and its pretty cool. I would like that on the Xbox one as well.
Shadow of Mordor? or do you mean exclusive? Because then you also have Resogun... Just saying other new Ip's have scored well and better than SSO. SSO looks to be a good game stillSunset Overdrive is getting a lot of good reviews. Probably the best reviews I have seen so far for a new ip this gen.
