MS added free Halo 5 to the 3 game holiday bundle 1TB.


Is that bundle eligible for the ongoing "buy an Xbox One and get one free game of choice" deal?


I think that already ended but is starting again tomorrow until next weekend to counter SW bundles. At least when I read on GAF it said it would start on the 15th

Are the returns worth it when you have to give away so much to move units? Seems to kind of defeat the purpose, but if that's the strategy they need to use...

Wait..today is the 15th, lol. Missed that. Hm, so yeah I guess.

One wonders with how much MS has to give away to be competitive if it wouldn't have been cheaper to do an official $50 price cut.

Actually the offer is not eligible for that one bundle. Didn't see it at first
Notice: The free game offer is not eligible with this purchase.

They need to start selling the x1 for 249 to be competitive.  When they're the same price ps4 wins by a lot and when it's $50 cheaper ps4 wins the year by a decent margin.

Black friday is almost 2 weeks away. If Microsoft are holding back until then they're fucked. 27 days of getting hammered will not be made up. Especially when there's a ton of pre November pre orders and then losing the first 26 days heavily.

And if the leaks are true they have no advantage black friday so might lose that too.

If they lose November and black friday by a large margin. My question is, do they cut further in December to remain competitive?

Or do they do something really stupid and cut the price 'for a limited time' and then see sales slump to an all time low next year? How desparate are they to keep good faith this Christmas?

Wow, was able to look up Walmarts best sellers list on my iPad. Walmart is even more ps4 domination than any place else! Walmart still doesnt accept game/console preorders I take it? That would be the only explanation as to why Star Wars bundles and games are nowhere to be seen on the list. Anyways, heres the link and the list:

http://www.walmart.com/browse/2636_1040579?sort=best_seller&cat_id=2636_1040579

#5 ps4 BO3
#6 ps4 BO3 plus madden
#15 ps4 Destiny
#28 ps4 NDC
#52 ps4 NDC plus madden

This can't be right. Bc of this crazy domination, I went for a search for an XBO on the list. The first XBO I found was the standalone XBO for $349 at #415! If anyone finds I missed some XBOs please let me know and I'll adjust accordingly. This would be insane if true, but I'm not sure I can believe it. Doesn't make sense. 

That would be really odd and dominant.
