The negative spin is saying MS is screwing people over.

They will be doing unless they offer some kind of "Ambassador" plan, like Nintendo did with 3DS after the early cut.

They hyped up the console as being worth the price, with Titanfall coming really soon into the lifecycle. They advertised Titanfall since Day 1. Titanfall has been selling systems since Day 1. Turns out, any Brit could have held off for less than 5 Months and saved £80.

This is screwing over early adopters who wanted Titanfall.

Offering free content to those who have the X1 prior to the new bundle would be great, but they don't owe it. That's the price of instant gratification.

Many games released during the holiday can be found for $40 or less. Did the publisher screw you for wanting instant gratification? No.

"They hyped the console for being worth the price." Wow, great argument. I think that's is for consumers to decide, no?

If the Brits hold out for a few years they can get the X1 and Titanfall significantly cheaper. Those who feel screwed should consider that as well.


Selling more consoles is best for X1 userbase period. So turning this into MS screwed people is dumb. Its costing MS money to even offer this.
