Have a PC but I bought the Xbone Titanfall controller.
Even though I can't use it.
Someday?

I am interested in how well the bundle does though. Retailers have already been offering a select free game or $50 gift cards, and titanfall is a game people would have already bought a Xbox one for.

Well, she got me a PS3 for xmas after I traded mine in towards a PS4, and, she plays some games, like Mass Effect, TLOU, and, Bioshock.
Her reasoning was a little more sound. She just said "what else is on XB1 that you want to play?" And I just kinda quietly said "uh...Forza, Dead Rising...umm."
Then she said "well, it's your money" which, of course, it totally isn't. I took that as a "don't get it, dummy."
My hand is literally hovering over the "pre-order" button.
Fable Legends, Quantum Break, Project Spark, Dead Rising 3, D4, and even Ryse are all tempting me. But I think I'll wait until E3 or when theres a concrete release schedule for those games.
Also OT, but anyone here using the mobile app on iOS and experiencing Gaf ads prompting the iOS App Store to automatically open up?

Spend money on what you want and like before you're married. You're going to wish you had not only catered to the women in your life by then, lol. I buy what I want even now that I am married. Early in our marriage that wasn't so..I didn't make nearly as much money, but now I make sure she is happy and gets things...and then I go all out.
If the girl loves/cares about you (and you're not spending yourself into a hole..which would be dumb)...then she might roll her eyes, or think it's unnecessary...but she'll be over it the next day.
Now if she's paying for everything and you're sitting at home on your tail all day....disregard the above advice and get a job you slacker....LOL
Edit** If there are kids (I have two)..make them a priority first too...then go all out again.
I know that you aren't arguing. I don't own either Xbox One/PS4 to me they don't have the built in value for me to drop the £399.99/£349.99 on either device.

I will be placing my order at GameStop very soon.
I was a 360 only owner last gen but having paid £429 for the PS4/Camera/Killzone/ExtraController bundle I wasn't prepared to pay the exact same price for an Xbox One when the PS4 bundle was better value.
So I was waiting for a price drop anyway but I still think it's overpriced at £399. £30 just isn't enough, the £369 price from Gamestop is better but I don't like the fact that it's a digital code and not an actual copy of the game. If they bundled in an extra new Titanfall controller I might have seen the value but to me it's still overpriced for what it is owning a PS4 and only needing an Xbox for exclusives this gen.
I would have jumped in at £350 but now I'll be waiting for £300 which I think it'll hit before Quantum Break comes out so I can wait. I also don't really have the room till I'm done with the 360 and can make space and as we're a week or two away from South Park I can't move it quite yet; if only it was backwards compatible...

Honestly, I'm waiting for games that I'm interested in playing to actually be released. Smash Bros. and Mario Kart are two games that could potentially press me to buy a Wii U. Halo, Gears, and Titanfall are a few games that might cause me to purchase an Xbox One. Someone needs to work on a different kind of game for Kinect. A kinect sports clone isn't going to wow anyone. And trying to make a first person shooter with kinect is never going to work. I can see more success by doing something like the curse of monkey island or something like Myst from a first person view, or perhaps an RTS with online matches.
I like to think I'm buying a way overpriced Titanfall digital copy for $500 and getting an xbox one for free.

in the US, it's only a price drop in that an xbone and titanfall costs 60 dollars less than it would have a week ago
UK has the bundle and a cheaper price than a week ago however, making it an actual price drop
I feel your pain man. I've been married for almost 12 years now. I'm good with money (no debt, etc.), but I am definitely the spender of the two of us. My wife was brought up in a very "frugal" home, hence she is very frugal.
I'm definitely one for spur of the moment purchases (e.g., not even remotely thinking about purchasing an Xbox One. See new Xbox One TitanFall bundle, there goes $500), so that has definitely created a lot of "friction" over the years.
All that said, I think our Ying and Yang positions on money is good for both of us. I make her spend money on things she wouldn't otherwise due to her frugal nature, and she keeps me in check from making as many stupid purchases as I might otherwise make on my own.
My advice is to pick your battles wisely. When there is something you really want, take it from me, be open and upfront about it, telling her what you are going to do and why. The key here isn't to ask for permission, but simply a proactive statement of what you are going to do before you do it and why.
My wife still doesn't like what I spend money on all the time, but taking the time to explain things to her in advance goes a long way. My younger self endured many arguments and fights explaining $500-$1,000 gadget purchases after they were already made.

Nope, I bought my Xbox One two Saturdays ago at Target and got the $50 gift card which I then used to pre-order Titanfall. So in a way I lost $10 but I also got to enjoy the Xbox for three or four extra weeks. I think it was a fair trade. If this had the Titanfall controller then I would probably regret my decision.

I want to, if it means I can get the game despite not really being a fan. I'm hoping GameStop gets it so I can drop the rest I owe on it. I'm down. I like the Kinect so it doesn't bother me.

still rather wait for reviews before doing anything. The lack of any info about the so called revolutionary 'multiplayer story mode' is worrying.

I wish I could but I just don't have the dough at the moment. Titanfall, Dead Rising 3, Killer Instinct, Peggle 2, PvZ Garden Warfare...this is a very nice line-up a few months in. I got fuck all on PS4 till Infamous. And if that sucks (doubt it will but ya never know) then I'll have nothing till like the Summer? Not sure

If early adopters feel slighted right now, I imagine the people buying the Titanfall bundle will only feel slighted again with the inevitable price cut in Summer or so. I'll just keep waiting it out till it's cheaper than PS4. As for Titanfall, I'll buy it when it hits $20 on PC.

Nope, still got my pc that will run the game better anyways.
Also not buying another console that I will have to pay online for to even play this game at all. To play Titanfall I'm forced to keep a Live subscription.... fuck that.

Killer Instinct is "free", right? At least the one character and ability to play him online. So with $499 you get Titanfall + KI basic. Then the $60 you saved from Titanfall could be used to get Peggle 2 and Garden Warfare. Dammit I hate being broke

Two friends of mine are getting it then. But not me, got it last month.

Nope. I played the beta of the game and I grew tired of it after a couple of matches. Not worth a $600 investment with tax and xbox live. Realize if you buy one that a price drop to $399 will probably happen within a few months.
So you're raising your hand to say your hand is down?
BoboBrazil

Nope I didn't raise my hand. I do want to play Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, and Ryse, but Titanfall is not for me.

This list is way off on both sides. If you plan on making lists make sure you actually know what's releasing.

I wonder why didn't package a special X1. Maybe they're just repacking X1's in a new Box, since they probably have so many piled up by now.
Mind correcting it? And I agree, if Titanfall is on there, PC/PS4 games should be there too.
That's the problem, I can't justify buying an Xbox One for so few titles when the majority of my gaming will be on PS4. Plus fuck paying for both XBLG and PS+.
If it was a first party game being given away in a bundle for free, I wouldn't see it as a price drop. But the most anticipated moneyhatted third party game so far this generation being thrown in the box for free due to sluggish console sales sounds like a price drop to me.

I do I'm working right now and can't bother checking to make sure I know all if them. Someone on a computer with time should make the list of confirmed. Its missing the biggest announced exclusive of year for MS at a quick glance and there are a shit ton of games announced for PS4 that aren't on Xbox mainly Indies right now.

I'm extremely tempted. Especially with the GameStop selling it for £370. I'm still planning on waiting it out to see if the game has a smooth launch and see how the Xbone version runs.
If the bundle sells out by then, oh well. PC version it is.

I think his point is: 'can I get the console for less than before?'. The answer to that, is no.
Your point: 'the price is still $499... but you'll now get Titanfall with it, so you basically save yourself $60'.
Obviously, anyone who was going to get an Xbox One for Titanfall will profit: they will save $60. But for a lot of people who were thinking "$499 is too much"... well, $499 is still too much for them - even with Titanfall included.

I preordered it on amazon, but I may cancel it. My PS4 has been collecting quite a bit of dust, but titianfall looks pretty sweet.

If MS is already giving out a free AAA game for free after 2 months imagine the deals this fall or next year
And a $100 drop is obviously on it's way

I though SO and QB (though that seems more 2015), along with probably a Halo and another Forza were MS big exclusives this year.
Well no. PS4 had more higher rated games than the Xbox 1. There's also more games to chose from period. I don't feel like posting Metacritic lists again, but the info is there with a simple platform search.
