Is it only me who only considers it as a bundle when the console is actually game themed?

jmaine_ph · Sep 28, 2015

I thought these would be themed. Microsoft does such a great job with the themed ones.

R3TRODYCE · Sep 28, 2015

They should have gave the console a theme.

You are getting the two games bundled at a discount when compared to buying the individual items separately.

Why does the console have to be game themed to be a bundle?
That would be a limited edition console

Yes? It has games bundled in with it, generally themed consoles are referred to as Limited/Special Editions or custom

mackaveli · Sep 28, 2015

Why no Canada?

Then ps4 only has one or two bundles as well so no.

Bundle means a pack in.

ThePliskin said:

Yes because this includes 2 games. They don't have to have a limited edition console to call it a bundle.

It's just you... This isn't a Collectors Edition console just a bundle.

Eggbok · Sep 28, 2015

1TB for 400? Not bad! I hope one of these bundles they're announcing is white.

I guess, why does the console need to have a special design? A bundle doesn't need to be a limited edition model. A standard model is fine because the main thing is that you get games bundled with it cheaper than it would be to buy them all separate.

Opus Angelorum · Sep 28, 2015

Definitely points to a $299 Xbox One 500GB + Tomb Raider.

Banjo-Kazooie · Sep 28, 2015

Looks like I was right on my first bundle prediction. Predicted Tomb Raider w/DE. Left out the 1TB part but I'm counting it

Let's see if my others stand true

Nightengale · Sep 28, 2015

The first of many.

JayWood2010 · Sep 28, 2015

1tb with two games for $400 is a very good deal. Considering the high quality of Tomb Raider as well is a big plus.

$350 bundles this holiday as well. Hoping to see a Fallout Limited Edition bundle.

kadotsu · Sep 28, 2015

So gamestop won't be selling this bundle.I wonder what marketshare they have in hardware sales.

Opus Angelorum · Sep 28, 2015

StaticJam said:

Well it was rumoured.

mrklaw · Sep 28, 2015

Not a great bundle. They are literally giving everyone with gold the first game anyway, so the added value of a 2013 remaster is minuscule.

Fallout and Tomb Raider already come out in the same day. I can't see them doing a bundle for both.

No, they won't, on account of them saying it is being sold at the MS store and Best Buy only right in the post.

metareferential · Sep 28, 2015

Well it's a good deal even if you're not interested in the game.

Sell the codes and shave off another 60/70 from the initial price.

burgerdog · Sep 28, 2015

What are the chances that we get a halo 5 / mcc bundle? Or at least mcc + gears or forza.

They are probably trying to sell this bundle to people who don't have an xbox or gold.

Guymelef · Sep 28, 2015

They have The Nathan Drake Collection PS4 bundle for pre order.

For those who didn't own a 360 or keep a live Gold account, they won't have TR2013 though.

And ultimately, two-game bundle is partly a marketing sweetener. A bundle with two games = more value than 1-game bundles.

burgerdog said:

Halo 5/MCC seems like a given, especially considering they probably have a bunch of the MCC console bundles laying around anyways

You think Soccer Mom 01 buying the console for her kids for the holidays knows that?

It's a good bundle for the general public either way.

Black Republican · Sep 28, 2015

amazing deal if i already didnt have one, damn

Oh, sure. I just think it has limited appeal above what a 1tb new tomb raider bundle would alone. Nice to have another game but that old game isn't going to push any the over the edge that wasn't already teetering.

Why would anyone who has an Xbox One and a gold membership ever consider buying this? This is clearly aimed at people interested at getting into the Xbox One, not those who already have it as the majority of bundles are.

thatJohann · Sep 28, 2015

I was hoping one of the bundles would be $299, but the press release says all the bundles start at $349.

I don't need 1TB since I will only be playing exclusives on XBO and multis on PS4. So I am hoping for a good $349 bundle announced and soon!

JORMBO · Sep 28, 2015

TR is my favorite franchise so this is tempting. Not sure if I want to buy an xbox though :/

Im not really sure how that would effect bundles in all honesty. Microsoft did partner with Bethesda for marketing rights and Microsoft still has three more bundles to announce this week.

The majority.

I wonder why this is not sold in all retailers? Are all the bundles going to be like this? Maybe since they have so much retailers don't want to carry all of them.

Is the tomb raider bundle a digital copy? That's why they won't carry it

extra hard drive space is always gonna be nice with backwards compatibility and games with gold. like 4 games for free a month i think?

Lavpa Jasai · Sep 28, 2015

I'm not QUITE ready for all digital yet, in the meantime I wish bundles still included physical copies

Dugna · Sep 28, 2015

EDIT: Nevermind I guess Gamestop isn't having this bundle?

Blackleg-sanji1 · Sep 28, 2015

Man i hate that Microsoft's bundles be digital only..I'll most likely be buying everything separate this holiday

Aren't bundles aimed at people who don't own your console rather than those that do?

Steverulez said:

360 owners do get to download TR2013 GwG, even if they don't own an XB1.

Just saying.

You can claim XB1 games with gold on the X360. Still, this is a good bundle regardless, and most who buy it won't likely have the remaster already.

No UK seems really strange. Isn't Tomb Raider especially popular in the UK? Maybe they are getting a LE bundle?

They are probably partnering with different retailers so they don't all get bombarded with a half dozen different skus.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
