    @WildChameleon,

    I've already told you - those that are posting about it are ignorant. Does that mean that all Americans are ignorant? Most certainly not. I'm sure there's even a few ignorant Brits out there too. In any case, the ignorant posters you're referring to simply
    don't realize the price difference between our 2 currencies & how it's more expensive for you guys then us (& are probably in their tweens or teens to boot). They see that price & they're thinking in American dollars with a free game, so of course they "think"
    it's unfair.

  2. [quote user="WildChameleon"]I can't remember when i saw totally harmony on these threads come to think about it. There's always someone not that happy about the XBone every day. If every one was happy and hunky dory on here then no one would bother coming
    into the site lol.[/quote]Um, that applies to virtually anywhere & everything... It's impossible to have everyone on the same page - that's why there's such a thing called an opinion. It's what makes us all different, for better or for worse.

    Okay, so I'm going to clear the air a bit for my own ignorance. I thought this special Titanfall edition console was only going to be available in the UK - that doesn't appear to be the case since I can order 1 if I want to right from here on the xbox.com
    website.

    So, getting that out of the way, I just want to make clear that my stance stays the same - the people upset about it are still ignorant, the reasons for it are just different. Many people are simply upset because they apparently don't realize that they've
    had 3-4 great months of game-time already & don't see that as having any real value when compared to a physical product...

    Only one thing to say to that GG everyone happy right ? how come i keep see disgruntled threads about american adopters very unhappy that Great Britian get's a discount and a free game and they don't. Yea everyone is so happy = NOT!

    [/quote]

    You keep seeing it because your focused on looking for haters like yourself.

    I can guarantee if i look for haters of the PS4 on the PSN threads aswell if i look for it.

    Also about harmony on this site there is a handful of Haters causing disharmony and you are one.

  6. GG you might be able too but i bet Microsoft will have some sort of protection built in when you goto the transaction screen. Probably get a screen come up that says this offer is not available in your area or something.

    The uk is very important to Microsoft they made a lot of money from uk sales of the 360. Someone mentioned advertising earlier. Microsoft spent some serious money on advertising here over the holidays. I saw more X Box One adverts then i did PS4 adverts.

    They spending big on Titanfall advertising too including adverts in cinemas, tv etc. The uk is probably the second biggest market after the usa. The one was launched a whole week earlier then the PS4.

    So todays announcement is a serious tactic from MS.

    X1 released a week earlierthan PS4 in Australia. Whats your point?

    Also the X1 is what it is are you going to do this for the next 10 years or are you going to get over it?

    @ Galactic Geek

    Exactly... To put it into perspective, one needs to ask oneself this simple question.
    "If someone had approached me several months ago when I was in line about to purchase my XOne and told me that they would give me a free copy of TF when it released IF I would put my XOne back and NOT purchase it until TF released... would I have taken
    that deal?"
    Or would I have said "No way, I want to get my hands on this console, experience what it has to offer and play some games on it now... I'll pay for TF when it's released."

    I know what my answer would've been... and I'd still be doing the exact same thing today. Paying for TF when it's released and glad I didn't have to wait this long to have my XOne.

    It could be good strategy (depending on circumstances). It also would show that Sony was worried about what MS was doing ;). Doesn't have to be either or (I do think this shows MS is not happy with sales but I also think it's good strategy on their part).

    Prediction... Sony offers similar discount/promotion on one of its exclusives this year and @wild calls it a brilliant Marketing strategy.

    How about all the *** you've spewed that hasn't happened? Your guesses are as good as anyone else's.

    That said, the "No price cut" guess was probably the most educated guess if you had done your homework and research on past generations. MS typically likes to bundle more stuff with the console rather than reduce price on weaker markets.
