Xbox One receives $50 price cut for the holidays
The holidays are coming up, and Microsoft wants you to seriously consider its console as your go-to gaming machine this season with its recently announced price cut.
The Xbox One will be receiving a price cut this holiday season, Microsoft has announced this morning.
The price cut is being referred to as a “special, limited-time promotional offer” which will price the console at $349 starting on November 2. The promotional offer will also include a $50 discount for any console of the consumers’ choice, which includes special edition bundles such as the Xbox One Assassin’s Creed Bundle, the Xbox One Special Edition Sunset Overdrive Bundle, and the Xbox One Limited Edition Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Bundle.
This special promotional offer will be valid for the majority of this holiday season as you’ll have between November 2, 2014 until January 3, 2015 to take advantage of it.
This promotion should certainly entice those who have been eyeing picking up an Xbox One for quite some time, and to be honest, it seems this holiday season Microsoft seems to have quite a few worthwhile exclusives when compared to Sony’s lineup.

$349 with a game is a pretty great price point.
-
-
The only one that comes with a Kinect is thh "Xbox One Assassin’s Creed Bundle with Kinect", and that'll cost $449. So it still gets the $50 price cut as well.
-
Do I need the Kinnect, or what?
-
-
I want to talk to my TV
-
-
nope, but this might do it!
-
-
This is one feature that I use on a regular basis. This is especially important when I'm feeding my baby.
-
its pretty much the only thing the original kinect is good for. voice navigation through netflix.
-
Are you telling me you didn't enjoy Kinect Adventures? Neither did anyone else over 10 years old.
-
the only kinect games that got any actual play time at our house was Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street TV. Everything else was just frustrating and dumb.
-
Agreed and agreed. It's a shame Fable: The Journey didn't perform as well as most would have liked. I really wanted to like that game, but the last-gen Kinect was so frustrating.

Also the COD bundle
-
That's the one I am eying. Basically for an extra $100 you get a game and a double capacity HDD.

With this price cut there should be some interesting Black Friday combo deals. I wonder if Sony will respond with a cut, or at least announce a holiday bundle for $400.
-
I have a feeling Sony will have a response to this. Sure - they're leading the current-gen pack, but they won't letting this holiday go by without a serious fight.
-
Where are all the holiday bundles? Is seems a few have leaked for Europe but nothing for the States.
GTA5 Bundle for $400 would be a huge seller.
Which is another thing where the heck is all the GTA5 marketing? Game comes out in 3 weeks.

At this point I'm more interested in an Xbox One than PS4. If I want ultra GRAFIX, I have a PC that I'll keep updated. And there's not much on PS4 now that I can't run at better settings on my computer. But the Xbone's library at the moment contains a lot more exclusive software that either won't be on PC ever, or for a long time. I don't care about 900p when I have a solid computer already.
-
-
Bloodborne is huge for me, as is whatever Naughty Dog and Sony Santa Monica pumps out, but those aren't for awhile. I think a 'Bone for a couple of years while the PS4's truly exclusive content cooks is a wise idea, for me.

Somebody will offer Forza Horizon on Black Friday for cheap, I'm sure.

I don't want to know what the sunk costs/opportunity costs are.

PS3 launched higher and took longer to drop, IIRC.
-
They were kind of riding the higher priced Bluray players in the market at the time too. Once those reached parity then PS3 dropped in price.
-
-
-
They released a non-Kinect version for $100 less (and the separate Kinect for $130). This is the real first price drop since it drops the high end down $50.
-
I don't know - I REALLY like some of the things they're doing with the xbone OS. Plex is a big win for them. I can't even play DLNA videos on my ps4 yet.
The PS4 OS sucks balls.-
They really need PLEX on the PS4 :/
