    Compensation for bad timing of buying Xbox One Kinect Bundle?


    I recently bought an Xbox One w/Kinect bundle (in the first half of September) for the MSRP of $499.99 from Best Buy. However, within the last 2 weeks the price of this bundle has dropped by $100, AND includes multiple free games (like the Kinect games Kinect
    Rivals and Zoo Tycoon). I really wanted to get the Kinect version of Xbox because Microsoft had always said that the Kinect was a core part of the Xbox One experience, yet it seems as though few games are really optimized for Kinect. And I can't even find
    the one main Kinect adventure game (Kinect Rivals) in stores anymore.

    As a loyal Xbox customer for the past 14 years (and Xbox Live member for 12 years), spending thousands of dollars on Xbox products (including multiple Xbox 360s due to the RROD), I was hoping that I could at least be compensated by getting a download code
    for an Xbox One game or two, like Kinect Rivals for example. That's a very reasonable request I believe. I chatted with Anna on Xbox support and she told me to make a post here, and then they could coordinate with their promotions team in order to remedy the
    situation.

    Thank you.

    :)

  2. NSA Prism Scandal + Kinect Requirement - could the timing be worse?

    Anyone who has issues with kinect being always on is clearly an a ugly neckbeard.

    but in all seriousness, yeah it was terrible timing. But that's not the main reason im not buying an xbox one

    Bad Timing

    I just bought the Xbox One with Titanfall included 2 days ago for $500 plus tax, and have been a loyal xbox fan since the early days of the 360, then they go and lower the price to $400. I would like some kind of reimbursement or a $100 refund please.

    Compensation for bad timing of buying Xbox One Kinect Bundle?

    There is no compensation because you didnt buy it from ms store or xbox

    Your issue would be with bestbuy

    I use kinect every day bot just for the kinect enabled games

    Certain thingz like dashboard to netflix

    All use kinect very well including alot of 3rd party apps compared tl the remote

    Expand your horizons you can always return the unit and exchangs it for another unit since you are withjn fhe 30 day policy

    Bring out a Xbox One bundle without Kinect for $349

    I completely agree, these xbox one Kinect less bundle price are not good, I can buy a xbox one Kinect bundle for £380. Or a xbox one Kinect less bundle for £350, that is a terrible price difference, the xbox one Kinect less bundle should be at maximum £300.

    Microsoft do you have a answer for this question please ?

    "Xbox One is Kinect" ..... well no it's clearly not and all they had to do was package a bundle without Kinect to start with and we wouldn't be having these problem's with people complaining and wanting some form of compensation offered.

    Quick remark about the Kinect requirement "issue"

    Xbox One Kinect is not sold optionally by forcing it to be bundled with the system. In order to buy a new Kinect then you need to buy a new system. The Kinect is definitely more expensive than the standard controller. People that import their systems or
    don't have warranty on them will have a hard time with them.
