CAGiversary!
Here’s what’s in the box:

The Xbox One “Assassin’s Creed” Bundle, available for $399 USD ERP, will include:

  • Standard Xbox One chat headset
  • One month Xbox Live Gold membership
  • Digital download code for “Assassin’s Creed Unity” (available for pre-download; available for play on Nov. 11)
  • Digital download code for “Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag” for Xbox One
  • Digital download code for “Dance Central Spotlight”

Amazon currently has it on their website.

This also coming out in other countries too.

Its a great deal IMO if your a AC fan and haven't jumped next gen.

 
Michael Pachter(the man, the myth, the lettuce) says an exciting bundle is coming out on BF and told fans to wait. I'm going to listen to him.

That 30FPS glory isn't going anywhere. 

 
so your saying that these bundles aren't deals? I'm confused by that as a xbox one standalone is $400.

 
These Xbox One bundles are really enticing me to get one instead of a PS4. If Sony doesn't have something comparable by next month, I may just get this bundle.

Bundles are only deals if they come with additional items that aren't included by the manufacturer. Most of the big releases are getting these type of bundles.
 
I'd skip this myself. Unless you're dying to get Season Passes on both AC games, then play them for 2 years, you're better-off waiting for another bundle. Having these single-playthrough titles digitally sucks. You can easily get Black Flag for $20 used nowadays, and it'll be the game for Unity be the summer. Digital console bundles kinda suck, because I know I'd love the option to trade in my Bone copy of Titanfall, which I haven't played in probably 4 months.

I was thinking the same thing. Sony needs to respond to this. AC is a popular franchise and having a bundle with two of the games and a console for cheap will entice people who have not gone next gen to switch over to Microsoft.

I could be wrong with this being a new generation but every year past, I've seen Assassin's creed for $25-$30 on black Friday. Along with about everything else that came out that year up to mid-November. So you shouldn't even have to wait till summer.

Black Flags was $35-$40 last Black Friday, but it launched in October farther away from Black Friday.

I expect most of the November games will be $40-$50 on Black Friday depending on the title.

Yeah, it probably doesn't take long. However, some just don't want to play the BF games (I personally never have, but I might, this year).

Is the Advanced Warfare bundle a digital copy of AW as well or is it a hard copy?

As is posted below your question, it's a download. Every bundle includes a DL code, not a hard copy. The only time you got a hard copy was during that offer of any free game, with console purchase. That was early-September, I think, right after the Madden 15 bundle (which also came with a digital copy of that game) came out.

 
A bundle definitely is what I am looking for. If I had not already beaten Black Flag this would be an interesting option.  Hoping for something that is more interesting to me.  I really hope that Ubi does a Far Cry 4 bundle.  I would buy that for certain.

 
Problem with sony is they do discs and I think thats the reason why they charge more.

Where as MS always does digital so they seem to just give them away for free.

reason I think discs cost more is because of the fact you can trade it in to stores. Where as digital you can't.

I doubt we'll see a Far Cry 4 bundle for the Xbox One since it's being marketed as a PlayStation game in the same way that Assassin's Creed Unity is being marketed for Xbox.

Shame it's the gimped Xbox One version of Unity.

Oh sorry, they gimped both versions didn't they, to avoid arguments.

Oh yeah, I forgot. Microsoft PAID OFF UBISOFT(!!!!) to reduce the number of Ps in the PS4 version by 180, otherwise the complete night and day difference of 180 Ps would shed light on the glaring difference between the all powerful PS4 and the may-as-well-be-last-gen XBox One.

It would be awesome if people at least waited a few days for an actual explanation (in this case, neither the XBox or PS4's CPUs could handle the game at 1080p - again, that's CPU, not GPU) rather than jump on the follow the money conspiracy horseshit, but I do realize this is the internet.

If #AssCreedGate bothers people that much, they should listen to the Giant Bombcast this week. Towards the end, an anonymous programmer (who was verifiable) on the game explains it.

People always say that when I bring up black friday. The only games I've ever played on black friday are amazon lightning deals and whatever game I would be sitting on my computer playing anyway. I never leave the house. If you aren't looking for a $50 60inch tv then almost always you can find the same Game or Movie deals online. Best Buy is pretty good about it, and Amazon just gets jealous and tries to match all the best deals.

True, I just figured that they have some special ins-tore things and limited availability crap that I don't want to wake up at (or stay up until) 5 A.M. to fight the online crowd.

 
Yeah Black Friday in the last year has gotten a lot more manageable online. Especially since a lot of stores have done away with the whole "Friday" part of it and it seems to be "Black Friday" for several days in a row.

Price wise it seems like everything you could find in a store you could online, at least for video games.
