Microsoft's getting aggressive this holiday season by temporarily cutting the price of Xbox One to $349. The deal begins on November 2 and runs through January 3, when the price will return to $399.

The company is also offering a number of special edition bundles benefiting from the price drop, which the company outlined on its blog. There's a Sunset Overdrive bundle featuring a white console and a copy of the game for $349. Assassin's Creed fans can grab a separate bundle with Assassin's Creed: Unity and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag for $349 (or $449 with Kinect). Finally, a Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare bundle sports a customized Xbox One console, a copy of the game, and a 1TB hard drive for $449.

I like the bold move.

[Draz]

Mm makes me want to purchase one even with the ps4

With Halo: Master Chief Collection coming out too, there'll definitely be a rise in sales for the Xbox One.

Yeah, I've been waiting for that to come out before a bought one. Nice to be able to take advantage of a price drop too. I was going to get PS4 but those old Halo games are too fun for me to pass on it.

[Brujesino]

Been waiting for this I have the Halo master chief collection pre ordered even though I dont have a xbox one:oldlol:

Iam gonna go with a bundle with Kinect.

[Draz]

I've never actually played halo. Is it that fun?

[jaydacris]

getting ahead of the alpha and steambox in a big way :lol i was waiting on those but cheapest model checking in at 549? methinks they are gonna have a tough road gaining traction outside of the enthusiasts. im really cheap so this makes the decision easy for me now.

[arkain]

Is it worth getting an Xbox if I already have a PS4? Have there been any games out or coming out soon exclusive to Xbox? (Other than FPS, I don't play those on consoles)

[Nanners]

word on the street is that sony will be releasing their ps4 brack friday bunduru (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJpwUTMwiVY) to compete with this

[Undisputed]

Why must your controller suck so bad X-Box One? Seriously...they didn't even give second thought to their fighting game fans when designing it. That D-pad is ass for fighting games.

[Joyner82reload]

And just like that this generation's console war has been won by Microsoft

[Derka]

Will Sony counter with the dreaded Brack Friday Bunduru?

Um no... its only dropping in the US. There are other countries in the world you ignorant fvck.

ps4 has been leading in world wide sales since release. Xbox dropping prices in one country for a couple months won't do jack.

take your trolling nack to the nba forum.

Picked one up

Holy shit they werent lying when they said the install times take forever.

Killer Instinct last night took almost 3 hours to install.AC Unity is at 27% right now and its been an hour.

Waiting for 199 myself, even if it's a used one. Still this is a good deal for US people. The only game I really want to play is Fable, so the motivation just isn't there for me. COD map packs aren't enough by themselves. Still, I like my odds. It's gone down 150 bucks in a year, by next year at this time a new one should be in the 249 range, especially if PS4 drops to 299.

XB is getting absolutely crushed in sales. They needed this price drop just to stay competitive with Sony. Why they only did it in one country, I'll never understand, but whatever works.
