Someone's really feeling the pressure.
Is this a retail copy of Titanfall or digital download?
If they were confident in TITANFAll boosting sells they would not have made a price cut. Stop deluding yourself.
So you're going on record saying that MS fears TitanFall won't move enough consoles? Cool story... I'll go on record as saying TitanFall will sell consoles. I've played the game. It's awesome.
That interviewer doesn't pull any punches. To be fair the guy has to tow the company line, but I'm fairly certain when he's at home and looking in the mirror he's shaking his head thinking Kinect is the biggest POS ever and is a good reason why people aren't buying XBOne (in the UK)
Is that the same Metro guy who was grilling MS before? If so...I like that guy. Amazing, considering Metro is a free paper. If this isn't a new thread yet, it should be.
digital download.
I'm guessing they just put a sleeve over the box and put the code card into the box and called it a day.
Also is this limited or are they gonna continue giving away titanfall for a while?

Locked down for 2nd place? I fully agree.#game-changer...
MS has UK and NA locked down imo...although i would have preferred they just made the One as powerful as possible and stayed at ₤429/US$499, going for the kill instead of being reactive since they will lose money anyhow. This move leaves things dangling, you still will have games being held back by a weaker console, but the increased sales means more bargaining power to undercut PS4 development.
bad times, sad times.
That isn't really the problem; you had GTA5 packed in with PS3s and that wasn't a bad deal. You had Sega pack in Sonic 1 with Genesis and that leaped it past SNES in the States for a long time.I'm inclined to read this discount as an indication that the Xbone is selling nowhere near as well in the UK as Microsoft wants.
Mass bundling of their killer app doesn't help this impression.
For comparison:
The 60GB PS3 launched at £425 here.
Wow so do us early people get anything!??

I'm sort of pissed off that I bought the Xbox One day one and then this shit happens.
Great move to get new customers, bad move to screw over your existing ones...

If you live in the UK, and you already bought an Xbox One, Microsoft just put a big knife in your back.
Tbh I think Microsoft is going to purchase the rights to future Titanfall titles after this. They seem very invested in the IP. Probably a similar deal to what they had with Epic and Gears.
Wont happen. EA doesnt own Respawn or the IP, and I doubt they want their game to be limited to one fan base for the entirety of its life. Titanfall 2 will no doubt be on PS4 as well.
While stocks last, but it seems the price cut is permanent.
I think that both of your views could easily happen and you'd both be correct despite going on the record with your disagreement.
Titanfall will sell consoles. Yes, I also believe that it will.
But will it sell enough consoles to begin to turn the tide for the Xbone against the PS4? Frankly no. I think MS are hoping for some kind of Gears still smash that will propel the Xbone into some new momentum with the buying public. I don't think it will.
As where do you go to put these points 'on record'? Do you have to PM a mod? Do they charge an administration fee?
Probably because it's an awesome move to make bundling one of your most anticipated games of the year. We've known and assumed for a while now that TF would have a pack in bundle with a console. Why wouldn't it? This is the new Halo for MS right now. This is putting Mario in every console you have so people play it and have the reaction almost all people playing it have had. That it is an awesome game and one of the best FPS games to grace consoles.If MS was confident it would move sales as much as they want then why would they give it away for free?
I hope not, I own all three and have just bought a 12 month subscription! TBH I could see that happening or nothing at all sadly.I reckon they will offer a launch retail title for free and 3 months of Gold. Ryse, Forza or Dead Rising.

Ah ok thanks, if that's the case, doubt retailers would send much back then

i dont think it works that way.respawn has to agree to sell it to MS.MS got gears because Epic games agreed to it.Tbh I think Microsoft is going to purchase the rights to future Titanfall titles after this.

The PS2 wasn't the most powerful console in the GC/Xbox era either but it managed to have a fantastic diverse range of titles and exclusives.
This is the generation where utter garbage like Knack outsold the new Super Mario 3D World so I'm not sure MS are very worried about Nintendo either.
Early adopters who complain about this are pretty bad at early adopting.

Indeed. I have never got (or expected) anything free after something I decided to buy early dropped in price sooner than expected..
sorry, i don't translate well to xbotYou made absolutely no sense.
Locked down ... for Sony? I'm not sure what you're saying. You know that the Playstation 4 has been outselling the Xbox One by 2-1 in the UK, right? And that January went 2-1 for Sony in the US?
Oh, never mind. I see you called the Xbox One "The One". Carry on.
Prices change, this is not new for those claiming foul.
Got two free N64 controllers after that price drop. Good times.
Now imagine if that was £349 without Kinect
