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.

Not really unprecedented. PS3 saw a 17% price reduction after 7 months and a 50% price reduction from the original launch price less than 3 years after launch. And it's not really a price drop, they're just offering a new SKU minus a significant and unnecessary peripheral. And since when is a "rebate" a price drop?
Good for them they're trying to convert people to next gen. There are more pre-orders for COD: Advanced Warfare on Xbox 360 than Xbox One and this point and that's sad.
