lol.

God, $30 for a pizza? Insane.

Looked like two of their expensive stuffed crust pizzas. Plus I would assume tax and delivery.

I wonder if you can tip in MS spacebux.

This could have been spent on game development

Or they can just keep doing both.

Unless you have some factual proof of how much this cost to make, and how much of the bill each side paid?

I mean, was it a big deal when Nintendo did it? Sony? I believe Steam does it as well. Who cares, it's an app.

nope and nope. So why is this news?

(Also, those two didn't make apps for them, just routed to an ordering page in a simple way)

by big deal, i mean, were you upset that the money wasn't going to game development?

actually who cares, I learned from the recent Live thread there is no point with some.

maybe I'm overconcerned, maybe you're underconcerned. Who knows? We could always look at the past 2 years of first party dev by MS if you want to look at who's focusing a little too much on apps and not enough on games.

Then I dare you to look it up! =D

LARGE!

I have to admit, I am addicted to pizza. I probably eat pizza once a week on average, even more during my vacation/time off.
I think in my city we have over 20 pizza places to eat, and a new one opens every so many months.
Fact is It's cheap to make and is easy to profit on if you can get the right staff and customers to enjoy your business.
I can't imagine Pizza Hut losing any money on the pizza itself. I think a relative told me It only cost him around $3ish for a large pizza with one topping and a decent amount of cheese.

I used to deliver at Pizza Hut while in school, they do make an insane margin on each pizza sold.

I laughed at the "LARGE!!" part too. At first I thought he was shouting for Kinect, but the pizza already said large. Guess he was just that excited.

Major Nelson is like Jack Tretton to me. Just has a face you'd love to punch.

Looking at the app in the video, I can see this actually taking off with people who order online and have an Xbox. It looks way better than their website/mobile ordering.

This is just making more hungry and I have to go to work dammit.

Also I'm assuming he did get more then just that pizza. Last time I only paid $8 for a LARGE one topping pizza, and $10 for a LARGE ultimate cheese lovers pizza. Then again theres some decent deals on their website. I like their pasta to.



It's just that simple.

Not useful to me. I hate their pizza and it´s expensive.



VGKing on 23 April 2013

Its kinda sad Microsoft go this route with the Xbox brand. Doesn't do any favors to the "fat gamer" stereotypes either. No wall we need is a Doritos app.

I was at a friends apt awhile back and he ordered Pizza Hut. The dough wasn't even fully cooked so he called and complained. He took the semi half eaten pizza back (we were still hungry) and got another one. That pizza was a little more cooked but dough still looked undercooked to me. He still orders from them sometimes and says he chooses the option well done. Apparently, Pizza Hut cooks their pizzas like steaks and assumes people like medium rare dough.

I personally think this is a great idea. The good thing about ordering online is that you can prove that you didn't make a mistake if the order isn't what you thought it should be.
