Can't wait for the Xbox one x deals for Black Friday :pimp:


I just got a One X like a week ago Gamestop gave me $200 for my OG Xbox One towards an X and it came up to $340.

I also got two free games, PUBG digital, and I chose Madden for a physical disk. Returned Madden to Walmart and got a $65 for it that I will probably use on BLOPS 4.

I've been playing the MCC Insider program also, but only like 5-10 games I've played and they've all been Halo 3 MLG. I was getting washed at first because I wasn't used to the controls for so long and just been on Fortnite lately.

I have to be honest though... man did classic Halo feel blah now that I'm used to the advanced movements from Halo 5. Just getting around the map quicker is so clutch compared to Halo 3. God do I hate that damn bubble shield :lol I haven't played back too much though because I've been mostly on fortnite and don't have the time to commit back to getting really good at Halo 3. Hopefully social is in the update so I can mess around and kill noobs. It's crazy how much I hated Halo 5 until I got used to the advanced movements and now it's IMO one of the best Halo games to me behind Halo 3.

I seen somewhere that the actual MCC update release will be September 1st.

Haven't owned a console since the OG 360....doubt I'll even get $25 for it, so I'll wait on the deals.

Buy a cheap One S from Craiglist then trade it in for $250. But the Gamestop deal expires tomorrow I believe.

I should've taken Madden and returned to Walmart, I didn't wanna do the legwork though.
Ended up with Assassin's Creed Origins and now I'm seeing it on sale for <$30 at a bunch of places. :{

Yeah I was reading the thread on slickdeals and almost everyone was getting Madden to sell back and make the most money because it just released like last week or two weeks ago. I was happy as hell Walmart let me slide with the jig, and let me return without a receipt :) Even if they did not I would have thrown it up on eBay or craigslist and lowest I was willing to take would have been like $40-50. I got a Walmart store gift card though and not cash back, but I figured I use the $65 to get something I really want like RDR 2 or BLOPS 4.

Seen someone on here said Walmart did away with the return without a receipt, but I was in my business casual attire from work and it did seem like they were not going to let it fly because the girl behind the counter was like you need a receipt to return it after it wasn't coming up when she scanned it. I just asked for a store gift card and she got a manager and got it approved. Saw some straight addicts there though returning crap without a receipt that they looked like they just stole from the store itself :lol

I hate going to that Walmart in the Queens/Long Island border and might start hitting up different ones in nicer parts of LI because they might let you get away with more jigs since the one I went to looks like everyone there is trained for the BS because of fiends returning stuff. I also notice another thing some were doing is asking people in the parking lots for their receipts if they paid cash or walking around looking for receipts on the floor or garbage and certain items doesn't have a scan code and they just steal it and then return it with that receipt and get the cash.
 
Party Matching and Ranked Changes
Matchmaking has been overhauled entirely to allow more competitive matchmaking to happen. Party matching and Ranked matching are now in place. As well, the ranking system put in place and how ranks are given is more akin to the leveling system used in Halo 3.

For Party matching we have a few different variants that are being used in different playlists and will be adjusted based on a few key items after the update goes live.

Variant 1
  • Teams of 4 will only match other teams of 4.
  • A team of 3 will match a team of 3 and have solo players queue in as well.
  • Teams of 2 will match other teams of 2 and solo queues.
  • Solo queue players will match other solos, teams of 2, and teams of 3.
Variant 2
  • Teams of 4 will match teams of 4 and teams of 3+1.
  • Teams of 3 will match teams of 3+1 and teams of 4.
  • Teams of 2 will match other teams of 2 and solo queues.
  • Solo queue players will match other solos, teams of 2, and teams of 3.
Ranked matching currently will take the highest ranked player on a team and search for other players within a reasonable range. This range is different per playlist and is based on population in such playlists. In certain playlists anyone at level 40 and above is treated as a 40 while in others anyone over 35 is treated as a 35 to help find matches.

Finally in 2018 the logical thing happens
Will there be enough players for this to be feasible?

Thats exactly why they weren't supposed to allow it :lol

I will gladly wait 30 minutes to play a quality game, over one minute to play the BS 343 matchmaking style that has existed for almost a decade where every game is essentially social.

340-350 good for an Xbox one x? Console only, new.


I'm out the loop y'all, sorry for these basic questions.


Meh not bad, but I would wait until a sale comes around where it's like $400 because after you buy the controller and needed wires it's going to cost like almost $450 I think.

I'm assuming it comes with the necessary hardware to run. If it does, that's not bad. Seems to be the going rate for One X on Craiglist/FB marketplace in my area.
 
I should have clarified, it comes retail, NIB. So controller and wires.

Just no bundled game.


Oh, then yeah that's a real good deal... I say proceed with caution seems a little too good of a deal, but not an impossible price. I have seen deals on that site Rauketen or whatever for those prices, but I've never ordered from them before.
 
debating if I should trade in my PS4 for an Xbox One X.

I heard GameStop has a crazy deal going on right now...
 
damn am i about to go download halo after work lol

Update took OD long for me because I got tired of waiting and started playing Gears which slowed my download speed :lol

But c'mon man. You can easily get 1TB for $50 or 2TB for $65. Even cheaper if you look out for sales. This is the one I use.

Got it for $60 when I got my Xbox

Not sure if I agree with that monthly fee to lease/rent a console.

Someone mentioned earlier that it was going to cost $35 a month for the One X or something, but in 10 months that's $350 and a year or 12 months that $420. You could have bought system for that with a few more dollars in a year.

So say you pay that $35 a month for the life expectancy of the console at say 5 years = $2100 or 10 years = $4200. :smh: I'm sure if it takes off Sony and Nintendo going to offer it too.

Yes, I know it's not just the system you're getting, but also Xbox Live, and gamepass, but I rather just own it and then buy what games I want to play.

I can't blame Microsoft though because it took off like crazy in the cell phone industry with leasing/renting phones yearly.
