Would be better if it was on XBL

 

[Xamdou]

Really good deal, MS stepping their game up.

 

[LevityNYC]

thats pretty damn awesome.

 

[Psychoward]

Oh awesome, I was going to wait until next week to pre-order, but why not jump on this?

 

[shinobi602]

Dayum

 

[Prologue]

Best Buy is stil having their $10 preorder bonus as well. Think you might even get a bit more if you're a unlocked member.

 

[Kikarian]

Day 1 DLC.

That's pretty cool.

 

[jbug617]

They did these types of deals last year also.

 

[Robot Pants]

How long are the points good for again?

 

[Neverism]

How long are the points good for again?

I also thought MS points were finished on the 22nd?

*edit: thanks for the clarification!

 

[The Flash]

How long are the points good for again?

I'm not sure when the final transition date will be but any remaining MS points will be converted to your local currency at equal or greater value.

 

[Xamdou]

If your talking about the conversion to Xbox one, one year.

 

[AdamMPSP]

Gonna cancel my Amazon order and get it through MS. Anybody know how good their "free" shipping is? Will I get it on release day?

Ah ok. So no matter what they will still be useful.
I might do this then. I really want some more impressions on the better version though.

You can install the game on your 360, thus making load times much faster.

 

[Lunchbox]

canceled the amazon one for this

plus amazon took forever to ship my Saints row 4 copy recently and 5 days to ship my rayban wayfarers. somethings going on there. while every game from ms store i got day 1 for free

 

[Blearth]

No PSN equivalent?

 

[The Flash]

Correction. You HAVE to install the game on your 360.

[MikeE21286]

Ugh. Wanted to get on ps3. Hmm....

 

[Psychoward]

Are there any promo codes going on for this?

As good as anyone else's when you get free shipping. My Surface RT only took a few days to get to me.

$20 BB gift cerificate comes 30 days after you pick up your preorder. Ive done it with multiple titles.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

What if you preorder in a MS store? I'd like to have it at launch midnight.

 

[Montresor]

Probably US only.

Do you still get the Atomic Blimp with this?

 

[flyinpiranha]

Worthless to me, I am not purchasing anything else for current gen systems. GTA 5 will be the last game I play on my 360.

 

[MercuryLS]

I prefer pre-ordering at FS and getting $20 knocked off the price.

 

[Phire Phox]

I think I'll jump on this. I could use the MS points for this for getting KI for Xbox One.

 

[Finalizer]

Sheeeeyit. Can't personally get it for the 360 since I don't have space for the installation, but would definitely be interested in jumping on this if I did.

Have they confirmed that points/money would transfer over to the One?

 

[ArkkAngel007]

Don't see why they wouldn't if your profile carries over (which does I believe).

 

[MonkeyDot]

Well, technically, the PS3 version has the same (EDIT:even better) deal...

 

[Xamdou]

$20 BB gift cerificate comes 30 days after you pick up your preorder. Ive done it with multiple titles.

How are you getting $20 BB gift certificate? Isn't it just $10 for pre-ordering for being a BB Gamers club member?

 

[HawksWinStanley]

Sold.

I was planning on 360 version anyway since that's what my friends are getting. Thanks for the heads up, OP.

Oh, nevermind, going with this. Shadow Fall for $45 and in store, sweet.

 

[Xamdou]

Your current MS Points do carry over to the Xbox one, they are just converting to their U.S currency equivalent.

 

[Eaten By A Grue]

Hmmm I guess if there is a season pass I will get it with these points.

I believe that is the case, yep.

 

[Gadirok]

I thought this was the digital preorder and was going to say it blows Sonys deal on PSN out of the water.

That being said the idea of having 2 discs for the 360 copy sounds unappealing even if one is only reserved as a install.


I really don't want a physical copy unless I'm getting it for cheap, and would prefer to go for digital if it were cheaper.

PSN is giving the atomic blimp DLC,a exclusive theme and 75% off any rockstar game (which really doesn't concern me since RDR GoTY edition is the only game I'm interested in and I only wanted to purchase it so I can get rid of my physical copy, but since their is no GOTY edition on PSN looks like I'm keeping my physical copy).


Really just leaves me with EB Games, may as well preorder the special edition from them.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Getting $20 in points at Best Buy. Still the best way to go I think. Though you cant get the $20 anymore, only $10. The 20 was for those that preordered last year during the winter promotion.

 

[GhostRidah]

Be careful with this, their shipping is so bad, I pre ordered from them twice in the past and both times I received the items almost two weeks after launch.

Amazon has that release day shipping worth the extra price tag imo.

Buy at best buy and then return it to best buy when you get the copy shipped from Microsoft in.

Jesus where do you live? I'm not the biggest fan of theirs but I've always gotten my order in 3-4 days.

 

[Lunzio]

Still need more info on the ps3 vs. 360 version before ordering, but good deal

Pennsylvania, maybe I am just unlucky but their shipping department is notorious for screw ups, google it.

I don't doubt it one bit. I'm still fighting with them over $10 worth of Live points I bought during a sale they were having. It said one per customer (which is cool, I didn't see that) but they still charged my card for the multiple orders and never told me it was against their TOS til I called. And I STILL haven't gotten a hold of anyone who can help me. Everyone says they'll charge back the card and then it never happens.

Wow, yeah I am not going to give them anymore money until they change.

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

As long as it's release date (or earlier would be just as fine ;D) I'm down.

Anyone here have experience getting a game through the Microsoft Store on release day?
