Can you price match this at Target and then take 15% off that?

Nope. Target is halting price matching until Friday.

Sorry bro

Amazing deal but... and not to derail the thread, but what's up with not showing the price? I clicked Why? and it says the manufacturer won't allow Amazon to show the price? Why wouldn't MS want them to show a cheaper price?

This Reddit comment explains the concept of Minimum Advertised Price well

Basically there is an agreement in place between MS and Amazon in place to not "advertise" the product below a certain price (in this case showing the price before the customer's made the minimal commitment of interest represented by adding to cart) because they want to

A) Protect the perceived value of the product
B) Protect their own retail outlets which probably won't sell below that minimum advertised price anytime soon

It's a very "light" form of price fixing

Because although Amazon can set the price independently, companies like Microsoft place restrictions on how it is shown - especially if it's lower than the company's "lowest advertised price." So, red tape is the reason.

EDIT: I was beaten to it. =)

Ahh I see, interesting. Was a little confused when I clicked the link and couldn't see a price lol.

I just googled it and it's illegal in the UK, makes sense why I've never seen anything like this before.

Thanks

I learned something new today

 

[Mrbob]

The BF1 bundle is now 212 as well.

Can you price match this at Target and then take 15% off that?

Since Amazon is basically price matching the Target discount I don't think that will work.

 

[saelz8]

What the hell at that price. I might buy it just to play Skate 3 and watch Blu-Rays

I'm sick.

 

[statham]

Amazon is matching Targets price right now. Target has 15% off most stuff instore/online today and tomorrow.

 

[GulAtiCa]

I'm tempted...

 

[FloppyDelux]

tempted as well or get the BF1 500gb.. or the 1tb

 

[Lo-Volt]

We are getting so close to the mythical $200 price barrier with these deals. Excellent! Not a moment too soon.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Would've pulled the trigger had it been the battlefield bundle.

[Gusto]

Welp, with those prices Microsoft will have an easy Nov/Dec win. Dem prices...

 

[j0hnnix]

Ugh. I spent so much on psn.. I was going to pick an S up with Dell deal but I don't think I'd have time to use the S. Maybe for the 4k bluray.. Smh #reallifeproblems.

 

[Amagon]

You can't upgrade the hard drive without getting an external?

 

[Clockwork]

I did the Xbox One S 1TB with Gears 4 bundle for $270 on Wednesday.

If you don't care about the extra space this deal is pretty good though.

 

[NeOak]

No, but the OS manages everything making it seamless besides the box outside.

 

[Madness]

Damn, if you have a 4K tv and even consider yourself some sort of gamer, get this. $212 for a UHD player that also allows you to play one or two games you might not otherwise have gotten the chance to play as well. Such crazy pricing. The controller is much better as well, bluetooth, headphone jack etc.

 

[NeOak]

They reduced the price of the 1TB BF1 LE too to $254.99

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LI1ZUW2/?tag=neogaf0e-20

 

[Gusto]

Holy moly, Amazon has the PS4 slim w/ Uncharted 4 for $212.49 and the PS4pro for $339.99. Its the best time to be a gamer.

These deals are on C.A.G (cheapassgamer)

 

[RyudBoy]

Question before I trade my XB1 for a new S model - Can I just plug my external HD that has most of my games on it into the new XB1 S? Will there be any issues or will I have to download the games all over again?

edit: nvm, found the answer

 

[Chobel]

PS4 Uncharted bundle is also $212.

EDIT: nvm, there is a thread already.

Oops, I didn't see it XD

 

[webkatt]

Dang, how can I trade in my 500GB Phat Xbone towards this?

Do they need the box?

Dont think so..think it need to work and have everything *could be wrong so you might want to contact them *

 

[RBH]

nvm

 

[SwordStruck]

If you click the Cyber Monday offer you also get 3 months of Xbox Live for $0.01 more.

 

[JaggedSac]

Hmm, was going to wait until I got a 4k TV to grab one, but this is tempting.

Crazy.

Would Best Buy price match and give me the 3 months of live?

 

[jrush64]

Is the ****** installed or can i sell it?

I want to Trade in my old Xbox at Amazon. However I'm using a replacement power brick. Would they accept it?

 

[MastAndo]

The included games in both cases are digital download, correct? ...i.e. there's no way to sell them?

They should be codes, you can sell them on gaf.

 

[splattered]

Argh the battlefield 500gb wasn't available a few hours ago at that price. Wife wants the green color but I wouldn't have minded the white with battlefield. Could flip the download code for a decent price and made this a pretty good deal. Already have 5tb externals we use on our launch Xbox Ones. Oh well. Hopefully the 1tb model has a better resale value when the Scorpio comes out? Yeah I'll just go with that.

 

[Matticers]

I'd jump on that if I could trade in my OG Xbox One + Kinect. But I sold my controller from it so I'd have to buy a new one.

I always thought it was to fight against price matching/scanning bots

 

[DoomGyver]

If I didn't know about Scorpio I'd jump on that in a heartbeat. I plan on diving into 4k next fall.

 

[Thebeardofknowledge]

Lol

Because it was that price all month huh ?

 

[N-Forced]

Shit just bought the Gears 4 One S bundle Friday for $250 to use as a uhd bluray player for the ks8000 I just ordered. Knew I should of waited, least I got a $25 gift card and another free game with that one.

 

[AmuroChan]

Very tempting, but need to resist since Scorpio is only a year away.

 

[RR30]

Says $249 for me? Am I doing something wrong?

 

[joeygreco1985]

Still $379 CAD on Canadian Amazon. Damn you Yanks

 

[statham]

And Xbox One is traded in, used the credit for the battlefield 500gb bundle plus 3 month of live, for a difference of $99, I may sell BF1 so it could even be cheaper.
Note, they did try to charge me $4.49 for shipping even after I picked free shipping, because of the 3 months live code. chat support fixed it.

I am now a Xbox S owner. YA!

 

[Matticers]

Screw it, took the plunge. Trading in my old xbox one system to them and upgrading to the One S for $98 or so. Plus free one day shipping and BF1 and 3 months of xbox live is pretty sweet. I just need to find a cheap original Xbox One controller for the trade in.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Won't make it to Best Buy in time:/

Kind of feels like it's a sign I should wait. We'll see if it's available tomorrow.
