XBOX 1 Owners are getting the "Shaft!"

Alright, I have tried to stay cool about this, but I’m over it really. As early adopters, we are getting the “shaft.” I have been there on day one for all three MS consoles and have bought multiple versions of each over the years. Through the ups and
downs, I have supported MS and defended them to friends, family, fanboys and strangers. I know I received a controller that says Day 1, a character for Killer Instinct, and a day 1 achievement that nobody will ever see because it doesn’t translate into a cool
avatar item. (Not that avatars are visible to the general public anymore, another lame move, I thought they were a decent addition to a living dashboard.) Here are the major complaints; we get to test the bugs, consistently power cycle our Xbox 1’s for the
no signal on TV, Netflix issue’s, or frozen screen. Less than 4 months after the launch of the Xbox 1, a TitanFall Xbox1 bundle is available for $499.00 and it of course comes with the $60 game for free. Assassin’s Creed, Black Flag is available for download
for $39.99 on the Xbox360 only. It is $59.99 on Xbox1 downloaded or at a retailer. Sorry early adopters, supporters, and all the folks who bust there hump to make their hard earned money and hand it over to a multi-billion dollar corporation who offers zero
incentive to make sure we are there on day 1. I love my games and so do my 3 children and we have an awesome time together playing games. I wish that MS would open there eyes, and realize that you can only take a crap on your loyal fans for so long before
they decide not to support you any longer. Before this post, I tried to contact Xbox customer support with these issues, only to be referred to the MS store. I spent 4-6 hours on the phone on a Saturday getting transferred back and forth between Xbox customer
service and MS support with no resolution whatsoever. Neither side would offer one bit of compensation, just insincere worthless apologies. To be honest, I don’t think most of them had any idea what I was talking about. I just thought my fellow gamers should
hear about my experience and post them in a spot where you can share your opinion or experiences as well. Thanks everyone.

R.E. 6: Archives version vs PS3 R.E 6 Anthology

These are up for pre order on Amazon $89.99 each. But 360 owners get the shaft.

PS3 Anthology gets R.E 1 directors cut, R.E 2,3,4,5 gold edition and of course 6. 360 gets R.E 4,Code veronica, 5 gold edition, the movie R.E. Degenerations and of course 6. To me we get the shaft cause I have already downloaded all of them but
do not have the first 3. This sucks for me!!

 

You bought early. Your fault. If you think you are entitled to compensation of any kind mate you are very wrong. I realise it sounds harsh, but that is the reality my friend, you bought early. It's just a matter of when you jumped into the mix. The newest
gizmos come with the highest price tags. It is the way of life.

 

Give it a rest.. No one is getting shafted. The Titanfall bundle was created because MS apparently needs more hardware sales. If it brings more people to own an Xbox One then awesome because that way day one buyers like myself can appreciate more quality
service knowing that there are more people for MS to please. We've already got 3 updates, with more to come. It's only been out for about 4 months. I don't see why this particular console launch needed to be different than the rest. Day one owners of the 360
didn't get anything free except maybe a media remote, at least in America. I didn't feel shafted then or now with the Xbox One, and neither should you. Suck it up and see what the future holds for the One before you continue to cry about useless garbage.

 

I bought a slice of pizza on Tuesday... it is Saturday & same pizza place now offers a free soda with a slice... what do I do about it??

That is how idiotic all of these threads sound... seriously..

 

It was exactly the same with the 360 when it launched, all 360 games were roughly £10 more expensive than their equivalent Xbox titles. It also had major issues that we had to grim and bare with while updates were pushed out.

If you think Microsoft owes you any compensation then your wrong, Microsoft doesn't care about you, it cares about your wallet, and that goes for Sony and Nintendo and every other company out there.

At the end of the day you owe Microsoft zero loyalty, none of us should, I mean they're a company who creates a product/service. To them we are just account numbers and nothing more, if you think the completion is better for you then go and buy a PS4/Wii
U.

 

Holy smokes, did all the MS employees jump on at once, I get it, it is all about the games. I will still be on and have fun, I just wanted to vent a little. Sorry to *** anyone off.

 

It's nothing to do with the games mate, it's the fact that you paid the legitimate price of the console at the time you bought it. Dropping price happens to millions of products every day.

I just felt 3 months and 20 days was a little too soon. I have enjoyed my console and will continue to take full advantage of it. I did buy TF and I am having a hell of a lot of fun with it. I'm good now, just wanted to get it off my chest, it was not to
start any arguments. Hopefully someone from MS will see some of this and work a little harder on pleasing us all. Friend request is on the way.

 

I bought a Panasonic 50 inch TV in 2007 for $800! And its 2014 now the price for the same TV is only $500.!! OMG I feel like I got ripped off!!! See how dumb that is? Just the way it is. On with your life man.

 

I don't feel shafted yet, I think bundling Titanfall for the same price was a good move by MS.

 

I dont feel shafted at all. I think you do because you wanted a free game with your purchase.

 

Snoop... 7 years is a little different then 4 months, it was a great move= bigger fan base, just trying to get MS's attention homie.

 

I would agree the price dropped sooner than I think most of us expected. I suspected a Titanfall promotional bundle, but nothing like this. What is important is to get the most out of our money. We can complain when our games don't work, or our systems fail,
or LIVE goes down for extended periods of time. We paid money for those services. and they require a continued level of customer respect and diligence from Microsoft. What we pay for the console is up to us.
