a custom fallout 4 console would probably sell out in an hour

that loot crate thing was getting 15000 requests PER SECOND
so yeah any custom fallout 4 console would sell very fast!!!
need to hit up my gamestop.. will put money on something and my manager will hold it for me, fallout 4 console
I really like my current gamestop manager
I already have the Halo 5 prebought, but I can always find use for a third xbox, somehow

 

[Xone9]

What time today?

 

[iBlue]

I just bought an Xbox one with gears of war!

Do you guys recommend alien isolation? It's 20 bucks for good members.

Of course! Alien Isolation is the best Alien game in ages and a real horror experience. Like the first movie.

 

[SolarMystic]

Im not getting it for the bigger hard drive..I already have a 4TB external drive that works just fine with it. I just figure with the new 1TB drives maybe it makes the system overall run faster. That is what I had read before, that the release XBOX ONE consoles do run slower than the consoles that have come out recently

The external drives will run faster than any internal drive microsoft has in the 1tb models. The usb3 inputs of the external drives are faster than the sata connection in the actual system.

Don't know where you read that but they are wrong. Your 4tb external is already faster than the stock 1tb internal models.

Does it run/looks good on Xbox one? I also have a ps4.

That's one:

What's interesting is the tweet says "out November the 3rd", while the game is coming out the 13th (at least in Europe). So I presume that's another early digital code like the one in the Halo 5 CE.

[dead monkey uk]

Was likely MS were going to release a tomb raider bundle, should do well. Has MS gone 100% download codes for their bundles?

 

[Green Yoshi]

A Xbox 360 500 GB + Lego Dimensions bundle for 199$ would be great.

A Xbox 360 500 GB + Lego Dimensions bundle for 199$ would be great.

Haha, what? That's $100 more than just the game. Would you like it to make cupcakes too, while we are in fantasy land?

 

[Miles X]

Haha, what? That's $100 more than just the game. Would you like it to make cupcakes too, while we are in fantasy land?

Eh? He said Xbox 360. Should be $99 not $199.

 

[jond76]

Eh? He said Xbox 360. Should be $99 not $199.

Haha, man, it's early. Thought it said Xbox One, since that's what the thread is about. My bad.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

Haha, what? That's $100 more than just the game. Would you like it to make cupcakes too, while we are in fantasy land?

Considering new 360s are $120 it's not that big of a leap.

 

[lighthouse777]

they did not say it but there are other tomb raider games that were on the 360
they would be backwards comp

 

[Thebeardofknowledge]

i don't see the tomb raider bundle doing to well

Game won't unlock until 12:01 on the 13th. They'll be sitting in-line like the rest of us who pre-loaded DD.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

Hopefully there will be another white xbone.

Been looking for one

 

[lighthouse777]

you could play Forza a week early, those that got the console
so I would assume the same for this one. I am asking about the Halo 5 bundle as we get that early as well, I assume I can play it early but trying to get that verified

 

[Conduit]

399$, 1 TB with 2 games.

Not bad.

[Hesemonni]

Digital game bundles deserve To burn in hell.

 

[lighthouse777]

I see 6 bundles

 

[Welfare]

I see 6 bundles

Major Nelson said each day this week, there will be a new bundle announced. So maybe 6? Seems excessive if so.

 

[LUXURY]

I also hate deals that give me more for my money. High five!

Hey, I'm all for a deal. My main comment was to designed consoles and controllers that have logos and other graphics plastered on them. Solid colors are cool but themed graphics aren't for me.

 

[Plywood]

Do a Halo 5 one instead of that bloated $499 LE one.

 

[Velikost]

No you can't play Halo 5 early, and I doubt you'll be able to play TR early as well

 

[Conduit]

Do a Halo 5 one instead of that bloated $499 LE one.

Maybe Halo 5 and MCC in one package with 1TB and 399$. After i saw 399$ for Tomb Raider, probably MS will not cut the price for 500GB to 299$

To many choices IMO. Is that good?

 

[texore]

The external drives will run faster than any internal drive microsoft has in the 1tb models. The usb3 inputs of the external drives are faster than the sata connection in the actual system.

Don't know where you read that but they are wrong. Your 4tb external is already faster than the stock 1tb internal models.

What about for navigating the OS such as view achievements or how long it takes to boot up the system?

 

[Steverulez]

To many choices IMO. Is that good?

It depends largely on whether any are region specific I guess?

The TR bundle is MS Store/Best Buy only and not available in the UK (which is increasingly strange), theres lots of choices but if they spread themselves between: Marketed games: Fallout 4, Rainbow 6, Just Cause 3(?) then exclusives: Halo 5, Tomb Raider and then something for the younger audiences - Minecraft/Lego or even Forza given its age rating, that could be a good spread of choice for them.

I think they must have a better/different Tomb Raider bundle available in the UK though

 

[Se_7_eN]

i don't see the tomb raider bundle doing to well

That makes two of us... With the great games out now, and continuously coming out into the beginning of next year. I don't see people being held up on great titles to play.

By the time they are, it sounds like it will be out on PS4.

They must have a better/different tomb raider bundle period. It's store exclusive and missing out on the biggest retailer in US, the very first announced bundle (they'll save the best for last) and it doesn't even seem to be worldwide. They didn't buy TR exclusivity to do a bundle like that, I can't see that bundle being a big seller at all.

Honestly that bundle just makes me think even more that Chobel is right and there will be a fallout 4 + rise of the tr bundle.

 

[schaft0620]

So many bundles.......

Theses are probably going to be discontinued SKUs.

 

[Steverulez]

Do they often do bundles with new games split across different publishers?

MS do it for their 360 bundles iirc, but they are usually games that are 6 months to 1 year old, I'm not sure they would do that for two new big releases

Technically that TR bundle is split across different publishers... Square Enix and Microsoft.

I know what you mean.. I just posted in the other topic maybe TR + Just cause 3 (pre order code of course), which may make more sense since they're both from SE but FO4 releases on the same date and is sure to be a big hit and move bundles so it's more likely imo. Including a pre order code seems really weird but who knows since both games are seemingly set out to die.

I don't think this is the end of the TR bundle though they have to have something bigger coming up, makes no sense if this is all they're going to do with it.

 

[Vinc]

Predictions for the next few bundles:

Halo MCC + Halo 5 - 1 TB - 399
Forza Horizon 2 + Forza 6 - 1 TB - 399
Fallout 3 + 4 - 1 TB - 399
Madden or another sports game + EA Access - 1 TB - 399

 

[Catdaddy]

In on the Tomb Raider bundle, nice it has a 1TB drive, but I'd be up for $50 less version for a 500 GB option.

 

[Bsigg12]

It would be crazy but I want to see a $500 bundle that has 1TB console, Halo 5, Fallout 4 and Tomb Raider and maybe a 3 month Xbox Live Gold card. Call it the Ultimate Xbox One Bundle or something.

 

[rhino4evr]

Predictions for the next few bundles:

Halo MCC + Halo 5 - 1 TB - 399
Forza Horizon 2 + Forza 6 - 1 TB - 399
Fallout 3 + 4 - 1 TB - 399
Madden or another sports game + EA Access - 1 TB - 399

The press statement said "starting at $349" so there will be a $349 option.

Anyone think gamestops recent "we will no longer sell bundles with digital codes" was directly related to this announcement? Notice it says this bundle is available at Best Buy.

No because it's also not available at Target or Walmart. I think rather than flooding all retailers with the same bundles, they're going to have 2 that go out to all, 1 unique at each specific retailer and then all of them from the various retailers plus another at the Microsoft Store.

 

[starchild excalibur]

Yeah... I'll probably go with whatever is the cheapest on Black Friday. I appreciate bundles as an option, but I'd still rather take an ultra cheap, no-frills, base model if given the option. Unless they want to include a bundle where I can choose any game I want.

 

[Vinc]

Does it run/looks good on Xbox one? I also have a ps4.

I have the same dilemma as you! Itchy finger on the trigger right now. I did some research and the Xbox One versions looks on par with PC Ultra and PS4 (1080p with all the bells and whistles), but it's the only version with framerate and tearing issues. Doesn't sound too bad from what I gather... pretty much just hesitating because I'm halfway expecting it to be on PS+ soonish.

 

[lighthouse777]

there will be 8 bundles
halo 5, elite-not sure they count,
tomb raider
so that leaves 5 or 7 more
the person will not tell me more than that

 

[rhino4evr]

A Xbox 360 500 GB + Lego Dimensions bundle for 199$ would be great.

I wouldn't expect any 360 bundles.
They are trying to phase that system out. Not encourage more sales. 360 had a huge base, the goal now is to get that base onto the One.

Also as I stated earlier. Press release says starting at $349

 

[Trogdor1123]

Not a single kinect bundle?

 

[Blablurn]

Not a single kinect bundle?

whats a kinect?

 

[10k]

whats a kinect?

A modern day ruin.

 

[DeadOnions]

Fallout has to be one of the bundles. Fallout 3 would be used as the second game.
