The Xbox One - Part 8

[Iceman]

Oh **** I need to download this month's before it's too late.

 

[Travesty]

All you have to do, is start up the queue. As long as you do that, you don't even have to complete it, cause it'll always show up as a free DL, even after the deal is up. I've deleted H3 so many times, and the re-DL'd it.

 

[Thundercrack85]

so, a heads up.

looks like for the week of 11/9, Target will offer Buy 2 Get 1 free on all games, all platforms.

Unfortunately most of the upcoming games fall outside the dates. But expect this again before Black Friday.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Not sure if I should wait until Black Friday for the Sunset Overdrive Bundle, Amazon is already sold out.

On the other hand, Best Buy seems to have plenty. But they might go pretty fast come the price drop.

I'm kind of worried about the availability of the CoD bundle.

yeah.....if only this was for the following week, I could include DAI and WWE 2K15.

 

[Thundercrack85]

I would be less worried about that one. Much more demand, much more supply. Though, I dunno, I never thought the Xbox bundles would sell out...

 

[X Knight]

^^ yeah, I suppose the higher price point on that bundle might make it less popular.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Yeah too bad about Target. One more week and I definitely would've taken advantage with Sunset Overdrive, MCC and Far Cry 4.

 

[X Knight]

Toys R Us usually does a similar deal for the holidays, so I'm sure later on, there will be another B2G1 free deal.

 

[Benstamania]

Going to Target today to reserve Assassins Creed, CoD and Dragon Age. My wife said you can go get Sunset today.. if you want.. or you can wait a little bit and get three games for two at Target.

So.. Good time for this deal.

 

[Travesty]

Didn't you make fun of me for playing COD a few weeks ago?

 

[Benstamania]

Me? I don't think. I often make fun of CoD.. never really the players.. but I still play it. I make fun of myself every year. Say I'm never getting another CoD.. then get it every time.

you getting all those games for the X1?

 

[Benstamania]

Yup, I'm primarily gaming on the X1 from here on in. More so any game that has any kind of online component. I don't trust PSN to not be down every week. It just went down again because people are trying to play the Evolve beta. Meanwhile I'm playing it on the X1 A-Ok.

I'm more interested in ACU than CoD. that's why I think the bundle that offers the most value for me would be the ACU bundle. especially at the $350 price.

never been interested in the CoD games and not much of a FPS gamer. Plus, I'll be getting Halo MCC anyways ( and maybe Destiny for really cheap ).

the money I save with the ACU bundle I can use on a 2 TB external drive, which will give me about 3-4 times the extra storage I'd get with the 1TB in the CoD bundle.

cuz really, I'd be paying $100 more for an extra 500GB + a design I'm not too keen on + a game I'm not that interested in.

compared to spending about the same amount ($100) for 2TB of extra storage.

ah. cool. I'll be getting ACU and DAI, at least, when I get an X1. so maybe we can play some MP together.

wait.....PSN went down again??!!

 

[Benstamania]

Yeah it was down this morning.. my buddy texted me again about it saying it wasn't just on his end. Then I went on Twitter and saw Turtle Rock tweeted out about issues PSN was having due to the beta.

It's really quick ridiculous. Sony's servers just absolutely suck.

wow! and Live was working properly??

I hardly play online with my PS4 ( or game during the weekdays ) so I'm not really aware of these issues.

 

[X Knight]

so with the bundles and $50 price cut going in place this Sun, what console deals do you think they'll offer for BF?

somehow, I don't see them offering another free game or straight up price cut.

I think they'll either throw in a free 3 or 12 mos of Live. or a deal where you buy the console + another game and get a $50 gift card. or get half off on accessories when you buy with the console.

Oh yeah, (thanks) I've not completed a download for about 2 years unless I wanted to play something right there and then since I filled up all my space.

 

[Thundercrack85]

I am going to wait until the 8th. Apparently Best Buy has some kind of in-store promotion for a year of Gold with the purchase of any Xbox (the exact ad is kind of vague).

I hope the Sunset Overdrive Bundle will still be available.

 

[Benstamania]

I can't get over that Targeg deal. I mean seriously.. The SAME week AC and DA come out? Really? That's.. Wow.

Yes, live is fine. Big Alpha postponed due to PSN problems.

I thought DA comes out the following week on Nov. 18th?
