Xbox One Launch Price and devaluation of a premium product with in 4 months

People like you must live a depressing life. I mean really. When you go to the store and get a soda then the next day its on sale do you flip out?

The 360 wasn't way cheaper when it launched. 360 was 400 when it launched, I'm pretty both games and accessories are a similar price for the One as they were for the 360 at launch. Gaming is an expensive hobby and if people aren't willing to fork over a
premium price for a new product then that's their problem. I'm expecting to spend about €800 in and around launch for the console, games and accessories and I don't think that's too steep a price for what I'm getting

The 360 actually launched with two price points

-

$299.99 core and 399.99 premium

i personally don't care, it's not the first time i've bought a product just to see go on sale or discount a week later.

and now that i think about it, about a month ago i bought some new windshield wiper blades for my car, they were like $26 per blade, few days later i was at another store and saw the same ones on clearance for $8 per blade. there was a moment of "dammit",
but i wasn't crying in my beer about it.

loyalty means nothing to companies, they will sometimes "reward" you, but that is just to make you feel good about staying with them longer and get more money out of you, the whole concept of being "loyal" to a company or expecting a company to be "loyal"
to their customers is just silly.

 

MS never officially dropped the price!!

 

go to the MS store, they are still selling the Titanfall bundle for $449, looks like a price drop to me.

 

[Moderator removed: This is not a comparison thread].

 

i don't have to know what i'm talking about, i went to www.microsoftstore.com and they are selling Titanfall bundles for $449, looks like a price drop.

 

Supermarkets always like to flex there buying power, they probably have thousands and want some warehouse space, they'll cover it with bananas lol they just want you in the store mostly and will always be able to to price slash further than any game shop
or official company cut they're operating on a whole different level, like most new release games they will undercut Game etc by a good 10/15 quid everytime on release days

 

It says for a limited time!! Xbox one is still $500!!! Stop complaining, even if xbox one was $800 its still a bargain. The kinect alone cost over 300 million to make, the controller 100 million, the console 3 billion!!! $500 is a small price to pay for
greatness!!!

^^ still $500^^^

 

When you tell your friends to buy a x1, tell them to get it from amazon, that way we can maximize Microsofts profits!

 

Zero don't feed the trolls.

 

Loyalty to MS that's your/mine/our dumb choice but MS handed out £100 worth of goodies when the first xbox console dropped £100 in the first 3 months

 

Dumb choice??? I don't understand what your saying??
