Honestly couldn't care less what you think.  There's no debate here at all, really.  $329 is $329, doesn't matter what value a gift card has. 

That's a cool opinion, bro. The retail world disagrees with you. I wish you luck on getting them to change, though. God speed.


I'm not arguing with the philosophy of retail, I'm arguing that fungible cash is not = to a gift card you've already purchased.  I don't understand why I even have to explain this.

Because you get a gift card for $30 which you can then use to buy anything. Literally, anything. I cannot think of something I would need that Walmart does not have. It's no different than when someone advertises a cell phone as FREE* after mail in rebate. Only this is an instant rebate. I don't understand why I even have to explain this, especially to someone who supposedly already seen the ads anyway and is so annoyed about having clicked the thread and yet won't stop replying to complain about it.

I hope that helps, but the discussion is starting to derail the thread, so bye.

Is Halo a physical or digital copy? If physical, that's a great deal. I really wish it was available online, as the risk of being trampled outweighs the reward of thousands of hours of Halo.

Looks like it is available for $379.99 online on Thursday at Walmart.Com and it includes any other game of your choice and 1 year Xbox Live



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

Oh man, that will sell insanely good, MS is really pushing the US now. I think they are focused on winning the largest market, even though they might loose in the rest of the world.

Oh yeah, you're right! That might be my best bet. I just pray Halo is a physical copy. Based on recent bundles, I'm not very hopeful.



if i live in US i will definitely  buy that even if i have to borrow some money from my friend Lol but if the Halo MCC is hard copy.

Great deal, but absolutely nothing will ever convince me to go to a retail store on Black Friday. I'm just gonna sit at home and eat Thanksgiving leftovers.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Wow, intense sales.

Hopefully this helps put the Xbox One in an even more viable position in the market.

Don't listen to those guys.  I find it very easy to understand that when something is priced at $329, I am going to hand over $329 to the store no matter what to receive that item.  Its also funny that when there were previous bundles where there were free games included, people weren't going around shouting that the bundle was essentially some lower price.  Why stop at saying that the bundle is only $299 when you can sell the game for 60 dollars too making it only $239?  

I guess me and you view things more logically.  Who knows....



Lol u can't beat a billion dollar company.....

When I see deals from certain retailers why do I see people say MS is getting desperate etc....? Pretty sure the deal is initiated by the retailer. MS has nothing to do with it unless it's something official like the 50 holiday price drop.
