Wrong, it was $449, with the code price dropped to $399!

Microsoft had nothing to do with the price cut.
--- Same link, Microsoft lowered the price to $449 themselves, on their online store.

That was a posting error at like 1am that was corrected in less than an hour. The list price always said 499 on Amazon. You had to get to checkout and either type "1" or after that just get all the way through checkout for the discount to come.

I have never seen this in gaming. Usually if a price goes down unless it is like a 3 days sale or black friday it stays down. Once people see it listed a certain price it will hard for them to pay a higher price.
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

Sony did it with PS3 in 07 dropping $100 until they sold out of their shipment of 60GB SKUs

As I said, you didn't need any code to get the Titanfall bundle for $449. It said so right on the page. Usually Amazon doesn't drop the price of a product for a whole month and then suddenly goes back to the previous price. That's just too long to be a special temporary offer.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Not really the same, clearing inventory is different than a promotion, but noted I had forgotten about that back in 07.

| shikamaru317 said: It was limited, we already knew that. I get the feeling they'll be announcing a permanent price drop before too long, either $450 soon or $400 at E3. |
400$ will not happen unless they drop Kinect. 450$ is pretty likely
Just noticed something.
XB1 Titanfall bundle on Amazon US is now ranked in between FIFA (PS4) and Mario Kart 8.
VGC USA, April 12 numbers:
- XB1 61,787
- FIFA (PS4)
- Mario Kart 8 pre-orders 6,384
Either VGC is under-tracking these games by a lot (unlikely), or there's been a huge drop in XB1 sales.
Here on Portland on Monday it was 450,00 on MS booth.

I wonder if that is why titanfall got such a big boost in last week's sales...
