Super time force is getting some good reviews. I may pick it up tomorrow. I was planning on getting child of light but we'll see

 

[lobcity]

Early adopters don't deserve a damn thing to be honest.

for the Extra hundred, or in many cases $50 they got months (or weeks) with the console, Kinect, and a free game in many cases.

-And you can sell the Kinect on ebay and make back the difference. Sooooo........... I don't see why anyone especially in the US should feel slighted by this

You can't be SRS. 

NOBODY expected a system that just came out to drop in price so soon, literally less than a year(months actually) of it being out. Which I don't know is a record for a SUCCESSFUL major gaming console.  The Kinect is just filler and we don't really need it to enjoy the system. I've never even plugged mine up.  What free game are you talking about?

It doesn't matter the product if you pay 500.00 for it and it goes down 100.00 this quick who wouldn't be upset?  If the price drop is expected then nobody would care.

Selling it on ebay is not gonna make me feel any better smh.

I hope if you ever go to Chipotle and as you are leaving with your food they announce burrito's are half off the rest of the day. lol

I'm about 4 hours into Child of Light.

If you like RPG's you'll love it.

I might scoop up Super Time Force Tomorrow for the lulz

 

[100proof]

 

And they are going the sony route now where your free games only work w/ LIVE now too?

Games with gold already requires you to have a subscription... its in the title

Not what I meant, w/ 360 you KEEP the games after you DL them whether you keep gold or not. The way this is worded it'll be like sony where you only keep the games as long as your gold account is active.

 

[blakep267]

^ thats the price of newer stuff


Gant Bomb quick look at STF

I let mine lapse for like 3-4 months once because I couldn't find a live code on sale (never paying $60

again)

They are slowly turning the One into a PS3.75

 

[sole vintage]

Looks like Cboat was correct about when Microsoft was going to drop the kinect.

 

[Bad Religion]

Cool. Looks like I'll be grabbing an X1 this summer/fall. Probably when the next must have exclusive drops.



So maybe next year then.



Kidding! Fall will have to do. Summer offers too much outside the house.

 

[sole vintage]

XBL Gold no longer needed for apps starting in June

Brah, grow the **** up, real talk. You in here talking about a big corporation hurt your feelings.

-That the risk you talk when you adopt early, anyone will tell you that. You pay a premium to have a new product before else, and you risk bugs and defects.

-Stuff get price cuts, stuff goes on sale. This isn't even a price cut really, they just dropped Kinect. You got something for those extra $100, and you can easily make back the money. And you still mad

-PS3 cut price $100, 8 months after launch

-Xbox OG cut price $100, 6 months after launch.

And you going stand there with all your manufactured outrage acting like "THERE WAS NO WAY ANYONE SAW THIS COMING"

Child please

 

[carver]

Who was the one that said ms will never drop a kinectless xbone I remember when there was rumor about an all digital xbone I said if rather have a kinectless xbone over a no disc joint.. Was that you rusty

 

[RustyShackleford]

^^^ I dunno, maybe. I know said I doubt they would drop Kinect, and just pay for the price cut outta pocket. Since the made promises about Kinect availability to devs.

I would think they would at least wait until the Windows version had been out in the wild for a while before deciding Kinect future. Shrugs

-Kinect was Mattrick's baby, not Spencer's, so I doubt he Spencer would be ride or die about

This could be advantageous to them though. If Apple or someone else comes out with a Kinect variant, which is more powerful than the current Kinect, MS would be in the stuff position.

I didn't think they would drop it this soon. I expected $400-450 with kinect announced at e3

 

[Bad Religion]

This E3 is going to be nuts.

 

[antidope]

My Kinect is more of an annoyance than anything. Mainly because I made no effort to learn the voice commands. 

Just dont do Halo last MS Pls. I wanna go on forums and wildly speculate like the old days.

 

[putting in work]

They should have waited until E3 to hit people with all of this.

I know Sony... they're going to cut the price of the PS4 just to spite MS

Damn I went and got COD Ghosts today for $30 from a deal I saw on slickdeals, and now they give **** out for free

The only cuts Sony is making is to executive pay. They ain't got the bankroll to start a price war.

[Ricky D]

Sony doesn't need to cut their prices. PS4 is priced perfectly, they learned their lesson from the PS3 launch.

exactly, was just about to say that. Sony is in no position to go to price war with MS

And presumably the reason for this now is that E3 is "too packed by Spencers own words. Which is why we got sunset overdrive and this in may. No reason to waste stage time on price cuts

 

[Bad Religion]

True, but I can guarantee you see something in their press conference they could have cut and included this, which would have probably swayed public opinion about who "won" E3. This is huge news.

Maybe their E3 presser will have much bigger reveals, but honestly I think it'd have had a much bigger impact if left for the conference.

 

[the 2nd coming]

Lmfao at a kinect-less sku, I knew it would happen. I hope they release the white console without the kinect

lets be real though. Sony could have Shu walk out onstage and show 10 seconds of last guardian and dance for 2 hours and we'd still have fanboys saying Sony "won" E3
