$329 Xbox One + 2 Assassins games + Free game of choice.
 
Like are they looking at data and concerned they are not going to sell out of these bundles? Even though the PS4 bundle is more expensive I don't think anyone thinks it won't sell out either. So I find it hard to believe the $329 bundle would not sell out, I thought they may have been fine at $349 even. MS is reminding me of the sales person that gives a deal, doesn't wait for a response, and immediately offers a better deal.

Better deals for everyone though! Can't complain about that, but this is insane how low they are going. By the time Black Friday comes around they will be offering a year of live along with it as well. lol

Crazy deal, AC Unity + MCC would be the way to go imo, and by Black Friday, both of those games should be working pretty well.

good deal but amazon might have a better one soon.

Amazon will have "Xbox One console at the lowest price ever from Amazon, plus over $150 value in digital content" for Black Friday

So the Black Friday deal will only save me $20 on the Assassins Creed bundle?

Guess I should just order it now but I want to see what Amazon got planned..

Edit: didn't see the free game of choice, that's a pretty good deal.
 
This is good news for those who plan to buy a Xbox One, but all it really does is make future sales happen right now. Those who had no interest in that console still won't have one.

And there is a point where potential customers will start wondering if there's not something wrong with the console, for it to be discounted at that price after barely a year.

The next 6 months will be really bad for Microsoft.

Mein Gott! That's three free bundled games + a $70 discount... These XB1 deals are nuckin futs. They've gotta be burning some serious cash on every unit sold at this point.

MS got November NPD in the bag!

If it takes all this to win a single month in a single region, I can't imagine what they're going to have to do to turn things around worldwide or even to maintain momentum into 2015.

Free TV with purchase of Xbox One?
 
i'd jump in if it wasnt for the failed matchmaking of MCC which was basically the one game i wanted on xbone.

honestly why rush, at this rate the thing will be 199.99 by next year anyways. ps4 is just kicking their ass almost at ps2 levels.

Too bad Sony and Nintendo didn't get the message

I think 399 with a free copy of GTA5 and TLOU is a pretty sweet deal. 399 with a free copy of Lego Batman + LBP 3 is a pretty nice family bundle as well. Sony's going to do really well this Black Friday.

Amazon is saying the lowest price they've ever offered it at, which leads me to believe 329, just like everyone else.

I wonder how necessary this really is. you would think all consoles would sell out completely over the holidays as is

I think they just want to beat them and sell as many possible this month to get the ball rolling. Word of mouth, telling friends to get it.

I didn't know about the matchmaking being poor in Halo :[
 
Awesome deal.

Microsoft is willing to just eat away at potential profits in order to score some PR points.

I'm tempted to call customer service and pretend to be a 15 year old boy who has saved up as much as he could for a year. Tell the rep that I so badly want an Xbox One but I only could save up 150 dollars.

I wouldn't be surprised if they sold me a unit at that price.

It compels customers to buy from their store instead of say... Best Buy.

I won't pretend to be a retail expert, but just from the name itself, I think it's a fair assumption to say that MS Store isn't the first stop choice for electronics and games...

$300 and i'll get it and sunset overdrive. hell, i'll take the 360 version of dragon age inquisition back to the store and get an xb1 version instead. i can play never alone this way too. it'll be my main multiplatform machine a guess. and then when the ps4 gets wild and two other games i can pick that up sometime down the road.

so basically it'll end up being a $299 console + $150 worth of games but my bet is it'll be $299 during some crazy lightning deal hour.

yeah but who the hell wants to play ass creed games :(

That's my issue with this too.

Ass Creed games suck. They are all the same since Brotherhood and I don't want to play them. Why not do this for Sunset Overdrive bundles? Games that I actually want to play?

Plus the white One looks a lot better than the black one.
