Wait

This bundle is £369 in UK?

You're joking me, right?

 

[dragonyeuw]

I can see them cutting the price of the regular system to 299. Don't see them cutting all by 50 again this year.

I think you can reasonably expect a $299 BF promotion for the $349 Gears and Lego bundles.

 

[NolbertoS]

So far all the bundles have been meh. Just hoping Amazon, BB and Target will add more games to those bundles and a free 1 yr Xbox Live Gold on BF with a $50 GF. Also those Kinect bundles need to be lowered more as the rumoured Kinect stand alone price cut during the holidays will make the Kinect bundles less tempting.

Definitely one of their better bundles despite no custom console. It will sell a lot, but at the $399 price point i'm unsure if they will be able to compete with a CoD PS4 (despite it being ugly) and the Star Wars PS4. This holiday will truly be interesting to observe from a WW perspective.

How so? Ps4 will win WW easily.

 

[gtj1092]

The bundles release the same day.

One comes with the critically acclaimed GOTY (Fallout 4)

Whilst the other one comes with an Uncharted rip off or something like that.

Doesn't the TR bundle only release at BB and MS store while FO4 is getting the full press WW release treatment.

 

[Chezzymann]

What did people expect? 299 3 TB fire sale with 5 games? Microsoft clearly saw its 1 TB bundle's did well enough that they should push them more. They have two 349 bundle's for people who want them, but I like what microsoft is doing. Sony is doing the same, only for 450.

A Halo bundle thats was less than $500. All I want is a good deal to jump into Halo 5 with and I'd imagine that's true for a lot of other people.

 

[eerik9000]

Can a game be critically-acclaimed before it's out?

E3 awards are all that matter these days.

 

[Chris1]

http://www.game.co.uk/en/xbox-one-1...Size=40&categoryIdentifier=906249&catGroupId=

no

Yep I just saw that... What the actual fuck? lol

So these 1tb bundles have a £69 ($105) price increase over the 500gbs.

Is MS trolling with these prices or what?

 

[GameWhisperer]

Halo usually does not have a regular bundle no? It sells by itself.

 

[prinz_valium]

A Halo bundle thats was less than $500

if still available, i think you can get the halo le bundle for less than $500 on black friday

Yep I just saw that... What the actual fuck? lol

uk is a very special market
what is the offical msrp for the 500gb bundles?

the clean 1tb xbox one without a game bundled is 349 at game. so just 20 less
the fifa 15 500gb bundle at amazon.co.uk is 279 right now. so 90 less


i suspect it's just game being very expensive...

GAME are a rip off, wait and see what other companies will be charging. Screwed if it is GAME exclusive though.

no

Doesn't sound too great when can buy a 1TB console + a copy of Fallout 4 separately for £362 from amazon uk

 

[xam3l]

Crtl + F "Portugal"

Thank You MS -.-'

 

[blakep267]

Halo usually does not have a regular bundle no? It sells by itself.

Yeah there's no reason for a halo bundle now. People will still buy A gears bundle and halo separately so your making more money. A halo bundle is better served in like March when there's nothing really out

 

[Chezzymann]

I'd imagine there's a lot of people (including me) who don't have an Xbox one yet and are looking to jump in because of Halo 5 and a good bundle would be perfect

 

[Chris1]

I know GAME are a rip off but that's besides the point, a £69 RRP increase over the 500gb versions is a joke.

Surely these must be just "placeholder" prices. Surely Microsoft is waiting for Sony to announce PS4 pricedrop for the western markets to counter that with a better deal. Surely Microsoft cannot be so confident with the currently announced prices?!

 

[Ricker]

Still getting the Tomb Raider bundle,even if they said not in Canada I think,I am sure it will be here,since TR is exclusive for a year...will get F4 retail copy for the PS4...

Great bundles by MS though,these things will sell like hotcakes...

The Tomb Raider bundle is Microsoft Store exclusive in Canada, they updated the article at the top to reflect that

Same here. Halo may not be king of the mountain anymore, but it's one of Microsoft's ACTUAL EXCLUSIVES.

Tomb Raider really isn't; Fallout isn't, LEGO movie isn't, Just Dance isn't...

The only other bundle that's really pushing their own games is the Ori, RARE, and Gears bundle. Which is actually the best one, I think.

The lack of Halo is very surprising.

It'll be boring and really predictable. Let's just keep those NPD goggles on if you want to have a wager that's actually interesting.

You mean WW sales? Xbox has no chance.

 

[JPS Kai]

I'm not looking forward to having to dedicate more of my back room to six more console SKU's...

(I already have to walk around the Kinect and GoW bundles to get to anything)

 

[Doug Heffernan]

I fully expect these 1TB bundles to drop to $349 on Black Friday and throughout the holidays. The 500GB bundles should drop to $299 as well. It'll be a great holiday for Microsoft, lots of options for consumers and back compat releasing around the same time.

Yeah I think my best bet is waiting for discounts on the gears bundle. I bet that will be available for $299 on black Friday. Getting Gears, Ori, Rare, and Halo 5 for $360 would be a great start for my Xbox One and would probably keep me busy for a while

Worldwide? I don't mean to be harsh, but the XB1 never stood a chance in other places besides US and UK before this gen even started. US will be really interesting, though.

 

[Ol No Bones]

No special design? That's a missed opportunity

Not everyone wants limited edition consoles but everyone wants fallout 4.

 

[Chobel]

The Tomb Raider bundle is Microsoft Store exclusive in Canada, they updated the article at the top to reflect that

Someone needs to make another correction: "Post edited **/**/** for accuracy – Bundle is available in UK..."

C'mon MS, TR bundle for UK is no-brainer.

 

[prinz_valium]

You mean WW sales? Xbox has no chance.

yes. nothing major will change

us and uk are still battlegrounds
mainland europe is sonyland
japan is a slaughter
china does still not sell to 1% of the population
and xbox will win brasil

.

Don't know why this is so hard to comprehend. A lot of people making themselves look foolish thinking these are the actual holiday prices. MS knows good value with their bundles. Come November, December and January these will all be marked down by $50.

That's my "bold prediction" (same as last holiday).

But that would still only be down to what the price of the x1 is now? Nothing foolish about it.

 

[Black Republican]

jealous of people getting this deal for the first time

There is a Halo 5 custom bundle
it includes the limited edition which doe for 99

Ah ok cool,thanks for the link...looks like Best Buy also,great.

I'm interested in knowing why do you think so (bold).

 

[blakep267]

I meant a $349-399 bundle that's mass produced . That's limited and wouldn't push sales either way.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

384GB or something actually. and yes its peanuts.

This cannot be stated enough, SMH @ MS.

 

[DannyDanger]

That xbox wire title makes it sound like fallout 4 is an x1 exclusive lol

 

[tiebreaker]

Looks like MS didn't learn their lesson at the $400 price point. Holidays people are gonna be looking at price not storage.

They will be lowered to sub $350 for holiday.

 

[cakely]

A Fallout Bundle? It almost seems like Microsoft really doesn't want to see Tomb Raider sell well.

 

[prinz_valium]

I'm interested in knowing why do you think so (bold).

because of brazillian tax laws
heavy taxes for electronics, that are not manufactured in the country
ms does that. sony not

the xbox one is way cheaper than the ps4
but if we take the greymarket and imports from Paraguay and whatever into account, they ps4 could sell more...


just let us give ms that country as winning

 

[Garlador]

They will be lowered to sub $350 for holiday.

Yeah. We can see that coming a mile away. Cut the price for Black Friday (and beyond...)

People probably shouldn't be buying any of these bundles before November.

A Fallout Bundle? It almost seems like Microsoft really doesn't want to see Tomb Raider sell well.

Yeah. I'm going to be following Tomb Raider's sales like a hawk.

Last time, 3.4 million in one month was "disappointing". And that was released during far less competition on multiple systems.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Ms wins holiday?

 

[Garlador]

Ms wins holiday?

They certainly win most number of bundles.

Sony manufacture the PS4 in Brazil.

 

[prinz_valium]

Ms wins holiday?

we will know on the 10th december

Sony manufacture the PS4 in Brazil.

that's new. initially at launch they did not
when did they start?

 

[Syrus]

$399? Pretty disappointing bundles from MS so far.

They are 1TB

Holidays will be 349$ with more stuff

 

[Chris R]

Of all the bundles this is the only one I'd consider getting, but I'm still waiting on a new model. Guess I'll be waiting until next E3 at the earliest.
