XBox One Gets Price Cut In UK

[C-Sword]

Not only is it £399 now, they're also including Titanfall with it. Are they in panic mode already? This is a middle finger to the early adopters like myself.

 

[Eldriken]

wtf? Really?

I don't live in the UK or anything, but holy shit. I'm glad I haven't bought a One yet. Maybe we'll see a price cut over here in the States soon.

Nice, that's good news for me cause I will get one at some point

UK, my friend

But it's in £ and not USD, you save $30, but you get a free game.

I wouldn't call that a "middle finger".

Pretty standard promo bundle.

Every company does something like this.

But isn't 3 months after the launch a bit early for a price cut?

 

[AssassiN]

It's not even out yet in Belgium and no release date has been announced.

 

[Relaxedstate]

Dude 399 pounds is about 500USD...

I bet they will also come out with a 500$ Titanfall Bundle in the US

It isn't a price drop

Edit: It does look to be a about a 30$ price difference you would be saving had you bought an original xbox then titanfall as opposed to this bundle

Xbox Go Home

Why are you offended that you bought a console on launch day and then had them drop the price, did you legit not think this was going to happen?

 

[PunkMafia83]

That's awesome news. Good move for ms.

Seriously... why do early adopters always treat price drops as insult?

Part of being an early adopter is you risk getting something buggy, or paying more than other people who buy it later.

Anyway, there's another console out with basically identical specs (PS4) and it's cheaper because the price isn't inflated by extraneous hardware (the Kinect). It makes sense for them to drop the price to be competitive. Smart move on MS's part. The best solution, of course, would be to just release a model that doesn't have the Kinect- which I'm sure they'll do eventually. Makes it cheaper to produce and can be sold cheaper.

have they fixed the pads yet?

Xbone....

There's an article about it here

It took the Vita almost 2 years before it got a price cut.

I still think £400 is pretty steep for a sandwich maker.

Lost a lot of faith in Microsoft after the awful policies they tried to push early on. Fuck Xbone.

 

[Dizzy]

This bundle is in the US too. Titanfall digital download with system, for $500, same as the console regular priced. I am surprised that they are doing it as well, normally you dont see price saving bundles until about a year after launch but they surely want to capitalize on the power of Titanfall, which is pretty smart.

I visited Germany about 9 years ago. I wanna go back some day for sure

Yeah, thats just unbelievable. I read on some sites that it might even be in september that holland/belgium/...will have xb1.
Its really dumb that they just release it already and update the kinect later, cause i didnt buy xb1 for kinect.

I just got a gamestop ad via email telling me to preorder the titanfall xbox one bundle
