Will Black Friday Sales Be A Slap In The Face To Those Who Payed Full Price?

So far the sales aren't enough to really be that upsetting but will let you all know once the actual BF deals hit Thursday at midnight.

 

I've been scanning the ad's just in case I want to hold off on anything new from this past month but i'm starting to think this year will be a dud for video games unless you are buying a console bundle.

 

I sit in a corner all week and cry and hurt myself.

Just kidding. Bug deal. I got it day one and I didnt pay full price I saved 100 cents off the full rrp. And... microsoft autographed my controller and I got free xbox wrist bands and xbox necklaces part of the australian NZ EB Games launch thingy autographed
aka day one 2013 idk if peps sat its not autographed the controller was manufactured under the direction of microsoft so I call it autographed. Those who bloat I bloat back did microsoft autograph your controller? And did you get free xbox wrist bands and
xbox necklaces from microsoft when you picked yours up?

 

if you think having two meh games in assassin creed is such a steal.... im happy with my sunset overdrive bundle.

 

Well I just slapped back!!! Picked up DG2 for $12.50.... used my reward points! WOOT! Now... will I get points for buying DG2 with Reward points??? The plot thickens....... LOL.....

 

In australia and NZ you can get charged with assault if you give a stranger a slap in the face or kick in the groin. Those peps have been missing out on xbox 1 so its only fair they get some fun. Theyve been waiting waiting waiting and weve been party party
party cause were not that poor to be worrying about the cost of it.

 

It will hopefully be a closed fist to the face!

@king you should get rewards for purchasing anything. Even if its with your built up credit. Just dont quote me on that but im pretty sure its true.

 

A "product" is what someone will give you for it. Keeping it simple

 

if you think its a slap in the face, then you are an idiot. if you're that concerned about price about a product, then wait a few months or years for that product to reduce in price, or wait for promotions.

 

As someone who has not bought a next gen console and still happily on the fence....I really hope lots of day 1 adopters do get riled up purely on the basis that it's funny to read.

2 fine moments this year.

When the UK price cut happened in March along with Titanfall being given away for free to new buyers of the system in that month. That caused great uproar.

But the big one of all had to be the removel of "Integral" Kinect. After 6 months of Microsoft insisting it would never be unbundled, they go and get rid of it along with a nice juicy price cut across the globe. And we still see no major revolutionary plans
for the novelty device.

Judging by both sale statements from Microsoft in both June and this month (November).....they are refering to the Xbox One packages without the novelty gimmick that is hammering it in sales, as this is the only packages thats being offered at a handsome
price for the holidays.

So day 1 buyers paid more money, have a lame device thats all but been abandoned and spent the last year basically being Microsofts free beta testers.

This Black Friday will see many new people get their system way cheaper and have all the up to date features and updates, plus their system will be brand new and shiney. And they have not even missed out on anything really, all the more important games are
being released around now time anyway.

Will be interesting observation to see anyone who get angry over new buyers getting real sweet beautiful deals.

But hey. They're getting LIMBO. Isn't that enough?

Actually, a lot of them aren't. If you couldn't "Play" your X1 until Christmas, then you don't qualify. You had to actually be online at launch. I fall into this category. My wife waited in line in the wee hours to get her hands on an X1 for me, but it was
an xmas present that I couldn't touch.

"Slap in the face", I say!

 

Why would you be offended? If that's the case you should have waited until later to buy the console. Also the $329.99 price is without the kinect. In my opinion the Kinect 2 is what sets this console apart from the PS4. If you're not going to buy a kinect,
then I'd honestly pick up a PS4. I had both. I liked the X1 so much with the Kinect that I sold my PS4. I paid full price when it was first released. Typically that's what happens when a console is just released. You pay full price and later a price drop
comes. If you don't want to pay full price then wait and quit being a whinny little BRAT whenever the price goes down. Or you could just go to Ferguson and get it free.

 

The only person I get angry at when I see these deals is myself for not being able to hold off lol.

To be honest I have no issues with these Black Friday Deals. I knew a year ago when I bought a launch day Xbox One that the price would more than likely drop within the first year, still glad I got one on day one though.

 

it's just like buying a game any other time really.

I got COD: AW from Tesco for £40, a week later they are advertising it for £29 lol

Was i happy? Not really but i thought it would retain it's price longer, obviously it isn't that great going by price drop lol

 

The way some early adopters whine and moan it will no doubt be a like a beating not just a girly slap to the face.
