Cool, so along with the game you already get you get another 75 to buy another game. I guess maybe I should've waited on buying an Xbone with all the good offers and everything they keep having.

this is a really good deal. basically makes the console 325$. and to think just a few months ago it was 499$. 

Man, if MS has achieved anything with the XB1 launch so far its to drive home to consumers the message of never buying their next console within the first year. I know consoles always get cheaper and early adopters miss out, but damn, to go from $499 with no pack in games and kinect that will quickly become useless now that its optional to effectively $325 (35% price reduction) in the space of 7 months is unprecedented. It must being doing a number on their financial planning for the E&D division.
