How much was it beforehand?

£429.99 (so a £30/$50 price cut)

But it also comes with Titanfall, correct? That's a $60 game and the reason a lot of people are looking at the XB1 as a game console.

I'm already committed to the PS4 as my lead gaming platform, but if the XB1 dropped to $450 with Titanfall bundled, that's essentially a $110 price drop without dropping any features or hardware.

It's too bad I had no intention of buying Titanfall, even on PC, which is what I'd be playing it on, but still... That is a good package at a good price.

In the UK and Europe you get Fifa 14 for free, so the value of TF can only be counted if the bundle still comes with Fifa 14. If you only get TF then that's just swapping out one free game for another, so the price cut is still just the £30.

This deal should give xb one the win for the launch week and perhaps the week after, and if there is a permanent drop to £399 then the weekly PS4 lead should reduce somewhat. But this move in itself doesn't give the UK back to Xbox. The only way that will happen is if the price at the till is the same as or less than PS4 price at the till. Is there an indication that this price drop is across the board or is it only a TF deal?

It seems MS realised the game is not really selling itself as a reason to get Xb one, so incentives are required.
