Hey y'all,

Finally got my Xbox One. I have been only messing with the camera. It's too cool. Anyways, I just wanted your thoughts. When I picked it up I bought this bundle. Do you think it was worth the extra money? Or is it a rip-off. I did receive a 20% discount on the 3 games I bought and they said I'll be getting a $25 coupon through the mail. Thoughts?

Well it is a deal if you don't mind spending that much money at one time.



The 2 things I didn't care about the deal where the Gamer's Club (which does give me a discount on new games) and the 2 year protection. But I wonder if the discounts does make up for it and whether it's worth it.



Oh it definitely makes up for it. It would pay itself off quickly if you buy physical games often.



I'd call it a rip off due to the bestbuy membership thing and the extra warranty.

You've almost doubled the cost of the console. How is that a deal?

Well, the only plus is that for the next 2 years I get 20% off new games. That's the only area where I can see the money being recovered.



That 2 year geek squad thing is a huge rip off IMO.



I honestly don't think of that as a great deal, they're throwing in some insurance and member subscription and it's 880$+ ! And you'll be enjoying just two physical games.
But nice to know you're enjoying your XONE !!



I think geek squad is great personally. When I dropped my vita in a bowl of soup they replaced it without question. So I think that is definitely worth it. The gamers club? Meh... I haven't really seen a great reward for having that.
