They hope you'll be willing to pay for a year of Gold by then.

A download copy. Of course. That's going to be hell watching everybody flood their servers on day 1.

Why would you even buy a titanfall xbox with intention of not playing online?

Because switching between digital games is fast and convenient:

See all the times I had to say "cancel"? That's because those are games I own on disc, and they weren't in the drive at the time.

A wonderful pop-up box appears offering you to continue on your lovely xbox live gold journey for only $60 a year

not bad. if it's $499, of course.
What happens after you buy a subscription based MMO and the trial runs out?
I'm pretty sure if you were buying an XBO and Titanfall, you'll already have or be going to buy a gold sub. You may not like the requirement to pay for online but that has been the reality for Xbox ever since they introduced online play, seems a bit odd to complain 3 consoles in.

Well, with the early download pulled, everyone is going to hungry for it.
The amount of people who will rage about Destiny will be interesting. While you can play the game solo, you have to be connected to the internet. With both the PS4 and Xbox One versions, that requires a sub to their services.

Who pays $60?

No one will actually know any real percentages off course.
But when I look at my friends that occasionally game, none of them read up on anything game related.
They barely know that X1 and PS4 are out. So knowing that there is a clear difference is also not likely.
What they are responsive to is a ''killer app'' that gets a lot of (positive) attention by mainstream media.
If they had a X360 they are likely to go for X1. I would not be surprised that most gamers are like that.
I believe it is not unlikely to call ourselves ''game enthusiasts'' rather than the main audience.

You think the XB1 system is going to offer you live at a discounted price?
I'm well aware of the deals you can get on live a couple times a year but it was in answer to a fairly specific question

Nothing! I said nothing!
I don't understand why people think the console or controller should be reskinned. If this is $500 its perfect.

The same fools who bought the bundle then trying to play titanfall when their gold is gone.
If the Australian price of $599 in the OP is correct, then it'll be the same price as a Standard XB1 in USA. Standard XB1 in Aus is $599, so they're giving you a TitanFall d/l code and month of LIVE for free. Kind of like how D1 Editions got FIFA 14 over here.

It's not an requirement to play online. It's a requirement to play the game period. Count on one had how many games 3 consoles in that was ever the case with xbox
It's funny after SimCity-gate these decisions are getting a pass. The fact that there is no spitscreen in Titanfall makes local play unlikely. This is pretty much the same case of drm that SimCity had. Games tied too servers with no control by the payed customer. All which could have been avoided.
You really need an answer to that? lol

There been several One deals that include a $50 gift card etc. that you could put toward a physical copy of Titanfall.

$599 Australian Dollars... for the game you can't play in Australia.
And you don't even get a custom Xbone or controller... or even a physical disc.

Plenty of people said it played fine.

I honestly don't think people will pick up an Xbone just because they owned a 360.
From what I've seen on facebook, twitter, and general word of mouth. I hear PS4. My nephew even tells me all his friends want a PS4. This could really mean nothing lol I don't think people have to know the percentages, just know that "PS4 is more powerful" and if they check gaming media, well there's always headlines of PS4 doing something more powerful than the Xbone. I don't think the general consumer is THAT ignorant. Also, yeah Titanfall hype could push people to buy the Xbone.

Again I meant what the XB1 system would offer to someone whose sub ran out
I was thinking more of the $35 deals that appear maybe 3 or 4 times a year but neither that nor the $40 deal you linked would be the standard consistent market price. Really not what I meant by my original statement anyways

Was gonna say the same thing. How fucking pathetic can you get, MS?
They are obviously trying to keep the cost down.
The tweek isn't a physical change. It's a software change.Not reskinning the console is excusable but they definitely dropped the ball by not including the Titanfall controller
[Which was even tweaked at the request of Respawn no less!]

I know, Microsoft is so pathetic for not bundling a Controller that wouldn't match the design of the console, or Kinect. So pathetic. Bringing shame to our industry.
The reason they are getting a pass is because online can be argued by a sane human being to be superior to offline in a multiplayer FPS. I'm fairly confident the same can't be said of a city building game.

so, almost as every console + game bundle, disappointing because it would've been cool to see a customized XB1, but I don't see the problem here, specially if it's 499$/
You need to settle down. You really let yourself get upset about that? How can people get so mad over materialistic things? Your life that bad?

15gb is what was shown on the store page before it was taken down.

Hmm but then what XB1 are you supposed to use the available Titanfall SE XB1 controller for if not the standard edition XB1 which is the only one available?

Nice bundle. I wonder what the price is..
There were barely any issues at console launch, I'm sure it'll be fine.
Unless you're a collector of cases, the only con would be you can't sell it used.
