According to this, Walmart and Best Buy have cut the price of Xbone Titanfall bundle by $50http://247wallst.com/consumer-electronics/2014/03/23/xbox-price-slashed-as-ps4-battle-grows/
Now the Xbone is a better deal than a PS4.

Still waitin’ on a killer app (for me) to be announced on either console, but in the meantime I wouldn’t mind seeing a price war go down :razzy:

Microsoft themselves have now slashed the price with a limited time offer.

That’s pretty insane that you can get the console with either Forza 5 or Titanfall for free, for $50 less.

Official price drop imminent, and/or they really want to win March NPD.
EDIT: Get the Forza bundle for $399 at Amazon . They dropped the price & the XIAMAZON code still stacks.

50% off Thief & Tomb Raider DE. First big discounts of the next-gen titles. :lol: at Activision still being chincy with the COD sales, even with TF knocking on its door. Oh well, it must still be selling steadily enough if they can afford to command those prices.

A few games are on sale on the Microsoft Store.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/list/Games/categoryID.64724100?Icid=XboxB_E-3_XBOgames_031114
CoD: Ghosts is $29,99, ACIV: Black Flag is $29.99, 2K14 is $39.99 (still too much for that microtransaction fest)… etc.
Edit: Ghosts dropped to $24.99 while I was posting this, lol.
Has Ghosts not sold to Activation’s expectations? I never seen a CoD game go on sale as often as Ghosts
They were already expecting it to sell less due “uncertainty” over the next gen systems, so they mailed it in even moreso than usual. Even COD fanboys don’t seem to like it very much, lot of customers think it’s a step back from Blops II.
Wouldn’t doubt the recent sales and price drops have something to do with Titanfall, though. The fear is real and it should be. I’ll never bother with another COD again, they literally have no place to go concept wise aside from reviving the World War II setting or going full zombie game, and they know it.

Strike Suit Zero coming out April 8th for $19.99.
Dios <-X->;8738939:
I hope its all about the games last year. I was there and had a fucking blast playing Dragons crown, bayonetta 2, killer instinct, beyond two souls, ducktales and alot more.
Im pretty sure im going again so please, bring on the games!
Yet none of these games will ever get an Xbone port for the following reasons:
Xboned is too expensive
Xbox fans have a myopic taste in games

Satya Nadella made Phil Spencer a made man over at the Xbox Division.
I have asked Phil Spencer to take on a new role leading Xbox, combining the Xbox and Xbox Live development teams with the Microsoft Studios team. Phil will report to Terry Myerson, allowing us to keep gaming close to the group developing operating systems across devices. In this new job, Phil will lead the Xbox, Xbox Live, Xbox Music and Xbox Video teams, and Microsoft Studios. Combining all our software, gaming and content assets across the Xbox team under a single leader and aligning with the OSG team will help ensure we continue to do great work across the Xbox business, and bring more of the magic of Xbox to all form factors, including tablets, PCs and phones. Phil will continue his close partnership with Yusuf Mehdi, who leads business strategy and marketing for Xbox, George Peckham, who heads up third-party partnerships and Mike Angiulo, who will continue leading Xbox hardware. Over the years, Phil’s team at Microsoft Studios has helped build a community of more than 80 million Xbox owners and 48 million Xbox Live members through blockbuster game franchises such as “Halo,” “Gears of War,” “Kinect Sports,” “Fable,” “Forza Motorsport” and many others. He’s helped drive the development of brand-new entertainment offerings like the partnership with the NFL and the formation of Xbox Entertainment Studios. I love the way the Xbox team is focused on great games and gaming experiences (go, “Titanfall”!), connects with its fans, pushes the boundary of entertainment and has embraced the power of the cloud in such interesting and impactful ways. Phil is the right person to lead Xbox forward.

"I look at gaming as a first-class citizen inside this company," the new head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, just told me on the phone on this the day it was announced that he's taking over all things Xbox at Microsoft. "And that's how...

Phil Spencer, the newly appointed Head of Xbox at Microsoft, says he'll lead the Xbox team — which includes Xbox Live, Xbox Music, Xbox Video and Microsoft Studios — with a "gaming first"...
Spencer said the biggest request he hears from Xbox owners is that gamers want Microsoft to bring back Shenmue, Sega and Yu Suzuki’s unfinished action adventure epic. “The big Shenmue contingency,” he said with a laugh, has definitely managed to garner his attention.
While a new Shenmue may not be in the immediate future, Spencer said Xbox has “the best lineup of content in a long time” planned for this year’s E3 and beyond. That, he believes, will help Xbox One sales catch up to those of Sony’s PlayStation 4, which is outpacing Microsoft’s platform in sales so far.
He better be bringing it up for a damn good reason. I would love to see the fallout from an Xbox-exclusive Shenmue 3. It would be more glorious than the Bayo 2 announcement.

It’s an exciting time, mainly because Phil is the kind of guy that owns an X1, PS4 and a Wii U. He’s a true gamer that knows what the competition is doing and is on Twitter daily observing what fans want. If anybody can pitch the resurrection of other old Rare games, it’s him.
