Well, they have two different controllers sold separately, but the console comes with one of them. Not sure how that's a bad deal.Even worse value if the controller is sold separately.

Similarly, having a bunch of trade credit thinking it will last a while and then things like this are announced...Dat moment When you bought an Xbox one 1tb using a trade in and this gets announced
Is $200 enough because that's what both GameStop and Best Buy are offering... lolPreordered for the heck of it. Might trade in my Vanilla console toward it or something if theres a good deal
I struggle with this all the time, but consoles don't hold value like they used to (much less finding someone who actually wants it), and I just started eating the price difference for aesthetics upgrade. On a brighter note, the warranty gets reset since I have a new console!... at least that's what I tell myself.Is $200 enough because that's what both GameStop and Best Buy are offering... lol
I...dont understand.. This will cost at least $700. You really can't find something better than aesthetic looks and 1 year warranties to spend that $700 on?I struggle with this all the time, but consoles don't hold value like they used to (much less finding someone who actually wants it), and I just started eating the price difference for aesthetics upgrade.

Currently trading up
White Destiny PS4 to Taken King PS4
Day One X1 to Forza X1
White Sunset Overdrive X1 to this Halo 5 X1
Oh don't get me wrong I already know it's a bad decision, I just have OCD.I...dont understand.. This will cost at least $700. You really can't find something better than aesthetic looks and 1 year warranties to spend that $700 on?
Here ya go:What xbox console for 360 or one ever sold out? Because I was always able to find them months if not years after... From the mw2 console to halo reach to even the white xbox one, Which gamestop has a bunch for preowned at 319... Every 360 console is instock at gamestop.com used... So no1 cares about the color execpt some nerds mostly here and at SD.
Show a me console by xbox as rare as ps4 20th anniversary console. And don't bring up (I Made This), that was not availble for the average consumer.
I jus recently stated buying used games, and I just bought my first ever used controller (TF controller with a coopun), but I don't think I'll ever buy a used console.

Someone relatively close to me was selling his AW console for <$300 on the 5miles app, that is the only time I've been tempted to buy a used console. But it would need to come with a warranty for me to seriously consider it.
I think for some, they will get this console no matter what you or anyone else says. They love Halo, or maybe the design, and they have made their decision. I say, let them be happy and anxious for their new system.What xbox console for 360 or one ever sold out? Because I was always able to find them months if not years after...

Are you talking about before release? None I can think of. If you're talking about within a short time of release, I would say both the Sunset Overdrive white bundle and the recently released Halo MCC white bundle. Both are gone from retail and sold out within a few weeks of release.What xbox console for 360 or one ever sold out? Because I was always able to find them months if not years after...

Yeah, you're buying it for the style and that's it. While paying a premium. If you don't think it looks awesome then it's an easy pass.I was waiting for this for a while but looking at it i dont really like the console . Whats the difference betweern the halo 5 console bundle vs the forza bundle? forza is $100 cheaper both 1 tb . I think i may go for that one.
Disagree. This is not a mass market bundle. It's something for the collector and hardcore Halo fan market. There will certainly be actual holiday bundles announced in the Fall just as they do every year, but this will likely be like every other Halo bundle they have done and sell out a short while after release.This is pretty much thier holiday bundle so I have no doubt it will be out through the holidays and on sale.
Starting to get late to announce something. They dont have any marketing deals with any big games this holiday season to make a game bundle unless they do something like a tomb raider bundle with both games.Disagree.

The console and the LCE come out a week early since they have no physical copy. You can preload early or redeem the code for a disc. Hopefully they ship them quick enough to get it before release.Yeah, it's still a hassle though. You won't be able to play on first day and you probably have to wait for a week for your disc.
Gamestop is being shifty - the xbox one CoD:AW console is not available "pre-owned", but for the same price they have plenty of consoles available as "refurbished" (with a free under $30 pre owned game, too) -
Not really. Last year the Assassin's Creed bundle was announced on October 15, 2014.Starting to get late to announce something. They dont have any marketing deals with any big games this holiday season to make a game bundle unless they do something like a tomb raider bundle with both games.

Thats why I made the point about no marketing deals on big 3rd party games this year.Not really. Last year the Assassin's Creed bundle was announced on October 15, 2014.
There is a Madden bundle, a Gears of War bundle and a newly announced EA Sports bundle all set for release in the next couple of months. There's no reason they couldn't do a plain Halo 5 bundle. My point was that this is almost certainly not the "holiday bundle" and won't likely be available too much beyond release.Thats why I made the point about no marketing deals on big 3rd party games this year.
They dont have the Marketing for Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty or Star Wars so those 3 are out.
Not sure about Fallout so maybe a fallout bundle.
A console with RoTR and TR: DE would be a best bet for a holiday bundle. Unless they do a bundle that throws in launch games.
Wasn't the Halo 4 bundle around for along time?There is a Madden bundle, a Gears of War bundle and a newly announced EA Sports bundle all set for release in the next couple of months.

I think there are plenty of options, though. They announced the Euro FIFA bundle that comes with either 1 or 12 months of EA Access and the game (depending on if you get the 500 GB or 1 TB model). I'd expect them to do like last year and give the U.S. a Madden bundle of a similar kind. Then they're bundling Gears Ultimate (and, probably, the other games in BC) with consoles in the near-future. They've now added the Forza 6 and Halo 5 LE consoles, to boot. What else do they really need for the holiday season? Last year, it was just Assassin's Creed in a plain console bundle and CoD AW's painted one.Thats why I made the point about no marketing deals on big 3rd party games this year.

It's a bad deal because unlike other Microsoft bundles that were priced higher then standard bundlesWell, they have two different controllers sold separately, but the console comes with one of them. Not sure how that's a bad deal.
Yes and no. They could be found a week or two after release but not much longer then that because people could sell the exclusive controllers for $90 each and the exclusive DLC for $100+.Wasn't the Halo 4 bundle around for along time?
...but it has all of the Halo 5 LE content. It has the Guardian statue, the paperwork on both squads, and the steelbook, plus those Req Packs. It also does have a FOTUS armor DL and a multiplayer emblem, like the Halo 4 console did. Also, are you complaining that Microsoft is letting people buy the controller? Why?It's a bad deal because unlike other Microsoft bundles that were priced higher then standard bundles
This doesn't have a second controller (Gears 3 Console; Halo 4 Consle)
The Controller isn't exclusive to the bundle (Halo 4 Console)
This doesn't have exclusive content (Halo 4 Console)
It doesn't have a larger hard drive to justify the premium
I wouldn't be surprised if the $499 price is just a test and they drop it to $449 a week or two before release. Or they could keep it and continue to play second fiddle.
Is that ver rare because I can buy that ver used on CL for 300I jus recently stated buying used games, and I just bought my first ever used controller (TF controller with a coopun), but I don't think I'll ever buy a used console. Who knows what emotional scars it will have...
