[djplaeskool]

Fix'd

Hope I get this Surface Pro 2

Hope you guys get some good news. lol

 

[StoopKid]

gotta win that march npd.

Spoiler

Bought a xbone yesterday

 

[PhatSaqs]

Dammit. Was just about to order a Surface Pro 2.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

As an early adopter this makes me feel bad.

 

[JinjoUnchained]

trying to prove three dog night wrong

I see what you did there, good one. At this point MS must be feeling like the lead singer from three dog night, if you know what happened to him and his, umm, medical issues...

 

[KOHIPEET]

If they actually ship those..boy! What if it's not a mistake?

 

[Takamura-San]

Anddddddd fixed. Invalid code now

edit: maybe it just doesnt work on games?

Tested on laptop.

Dream is ded.

 

[Nightengale]

@PlayXBLA, (I think?) the Microsoft Studios feed, re-tweeted the deal, so maybe it's legit?

Whoever's in charge of twitter accounts of large company fronts... are more often than not relatively clueless PR reps.

 

[Malo]

I just bought the titanfall bundle yesterday. You have to be fucking kidding me.

 

[jbug617]

seems like it's dead. I was trying to buy PvZ

 

[Audiospawn]

And everything returns to normal.

Enjoy the silver medal, Microsoft.

 

[w00zey]

promo code is invalid now.

 

[Dead Prince]

guys. it's just a 'test'

 

[SlaughterX]

Wow, added it to my cart with the promo code, went to change payment method from paypal to my debit card and now the fucking code doesn't work. I guess Microsoft doesn't want me to buy this shit, fuck.

 

[Glass Shark]

Crazy-but-maybe-not-crazy theory: Microsoft did this on purpose, never intended to fulfill the orders, but just used it as a way to test whether people would jump on an Xbox One for $100 cheaper.

 

[Barzul]

$100 off AND Titanfall included, less than *4 months* after release. Goddamn. Sony must be pounding that ass. With no lube!

wtf

 

[Jafku]

As an early adopter this makes me feel bad.

The price of being an early adopter my friend. Wish I wasn't broke, would've ordered.

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Picked up the 4shot.

 

[demosthenes]

wtf ms

I paid $500 on Day 1+ $60 for Titanfall yesterday. They better give me something for free. SHIT

It was a mistake. Calm down.

And they don't owe you anything.

 

[razgriz417]

Best Buy's return policy on consoles is 15 days I believe. So they would take back the original.

O really wow, didn't know they did that

 

[SeanHollister]

"The price of one of the products in your order has changed. To complete your purchase with the updated price, click "Place order"."

 

[Coolade]

I sat here wondering if i should continue checking out, and in that 5 minute span the promo code was disabled. SIGH. welp. No xbox purchase until an official price drop in 2016 I reckon.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

Eh, there goes my tablet

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

promo code is invalid now.

Well, shit. Was actually gonna bite.

 

[Takamura-San]

And everything returns to normal.

Enjoy the silver medal, Microsoft.

This is not a Xbox promo code, but a storewide promo code.

 

[Malio]

Now showing "Invalid promo code". Good luck to all those who had orders placed.

 

[Logash]

I would have bought one if I came in in time. Too late D:

 

[Jal]

They probably did it purposely to see if anyone actually wanted to buy one, $100 price drop incoming.

 

[Mass Effect]

Tell that to wallmart.

What about Walmart?

They probably did it purposely to see if anyone actually wanted to buy one, $100 price drop incoming.

Somehow I doubt that.

 

[Chris R]

It was a mistake. Calm down.

And they don't owe you anything.

Yet, they might do something like Nintendo did with the 3DS down the road?

 

[TS-08]

Crazy-but-maybe-not-crazy theory: Microsoft did this on purpose, never intended to fulfill the orders, but just used it as a way to test whether people would jump on an Xbox One for $100 cheaper.

That doesn't seem like a theory that needs testing. It also doesn't explain why the code worked for everything.

 

[DirtyLarry]

Invalid Promo Code now in the US. They must have figured it out.
Hope everyone who did take advantage gets it. If they do not that would be messed up.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

seems like it's dead. I was trying to buy PvZ

Same . I had a $100 gift card that it worked on before hand, but then went back to buy PVZ with it and it was invalid.

 

[nullpoynter]

I bought a PS4 a couple months ago. My wife coincidentally called me as soon as I saw this deal, and I was all like, "Ummm, you know that Titanfall game I've been talking about? Well..." She hung up on me. I ordered anyway. Sleeping on the couch tonight, boys.

Lol... At least you don't have to walk to the bed after you get done playing Titanfall now.

 

[Dreamgazer]

Well, if there's one thing I learned this generation - Microsoft is a push over, never early adopt.

 

[Sweep14]

Crazy-but-maybe-not-crazy theory: Microsoft did this on purpose, never intended to fulfill the orders, but just used it as a way to test whether people would jump on an Xbox One for $100 cheaper.

Except that this trick worked on all items of their store...

 

[shwimpy]

They probably did it purposely to see if anyone actually wanted to buy one, $100 price drop incoming.

Wouldn't they be taking a sizable loss on every console?

 

[PachinkoChampBruh]

$350 and Im in, I dont care for TF.

sell tf and 1 month live thats at least $60 back.

 

[PopcornMegaphone]

Damn... it died. I was ready

 

[Mrbob]

Except that this trick worked on all items of their store...

Yeah the best deal was on a surface pro 2. Crazy discount.

 

[dreamfall]

Had it good to go, hesitated while everything was in the cart and it changed!

Looks like I'll never get it. Not until Quantum Break I guess!

 

[Pillville]

I'm posting my victory here because GAF will be happy for me.
My wife is going to kill me though.

 

[purpletentacle]

Crazy-but-maybe-not-crazy theory: Microsoft did this on purpose, never intended to fulfill the orders, but just used it as a way to test whether people would jump on an Xbox One for $100 cheaper.

does one really need a test to prove people will buy something that's cheaper?

 

[Talamius]

Crazy-but-maybe-not-crazy theory: Microsoft did this on purpose, never intended to fulfill the orders, but just used it as a way to test whether people would jump on an Xbox One for $100 cheaper.

Your theory holds water. However, the counterpoint is that it works on everything, not just Xbox One.

I'm interested to see if these ship. At $399 it's tempting for a KI machine (I'd likely sell the Titanfall code).

 

[Audiospawn]

This is not a Xbox promo code, but a storewide promo code.

They should've ran with it, but we can't have positive PR getting in the way of profits, can we?

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

I was about to buy a Surface Pro 2! Dammit.

 

[Takamura-San]

Yeah the best deal was on a surface pro 2. Crazy discount.

It was because i was browsing for the surface that i missed out on the laptop

 

[Sean*O]

Seems like they really want to win the March NPD.

I think they are just desperate to move stock on all of their stuff. Do they even give their retail direct numbers to NPD?

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Well, if there's one thing I learned this generation - Microsoft is a push over, never early adopt.

You're aware that MS and the MS Store are seperate entities right...?
