If this was a price drop or "limited time sale" you would see it promoted officially by the Xbox Division, it would be posted on Major Nelson's site. The only way someone would know about this is through forums.

Major Nelson has been tweeting out the deal, so Microsoft is not totally ignoring it.

All you're doing is adding more Xbox One's and then removing them an the Forza download is staying attached to the original console?

Don't be surprised when you get 9 of the same code.

Yes, that's what I did. I won't be surprised because I don't plan on ordering an XB1.:)

 
Yeah, just checked other games w/ bonus dlc and the same trick works for stacking DLC codes. Not sure these would be delivered.

I have a headache even getting one DLC code delivered sometimes from BBY.

That and if they don't deliver them you'd have no option but to return as it's not like you can try to get a customer service rep to honor the order since it involved manipulating the shopping cart.

I think you could totally get a rep to honour it if its part of the order and not delivered.

No you would not able to. First, as far as I know, as basic CSR can't just give an extra DLC code so it would have to go to a review team to handle this... and they wouldn't quickly realize that you don't get 9 codes in your cart by just adding one system---the only way to get 9 codes it to manually manipulate the cart.

If the codes aren't automatically e-mail you would have a impossible chance of getting best buy customer service to send them to you

But the really question is, why would you need 10 copies of Forza or anything for that matter?

You could subsidize the cost of your console by selling extra codes at ~ $20 each

Bought this yesterday with my BB credit card. Use 25 Reward cert and my points are pending. 1273. Another 25 cert. Okay I guess.

 
Anyone had any luck with the free Forza codes? It says codes should be emailed within 30 mins. of placing an order. I'm assuming not, but crazier things have happened.

Man I wish now I hadn't bought it from GS last week. I flipped an AWD PS4 so basically saved $100 off MSRP but now it doesn't feel like a great deal. Of course I already opened it too...

Pretty snazzy deal. If I bought one with my Best Buy credit card I'd be looking at 1347 points or $25 in reward credit. Hmm.

But you could've used the 5x rz pt bonus offer netting over twice as much credit at the beginning of the year then now would be a double dip for pts. Plus it would show up like your spending $950 towards elite/elite plus.

Man I only have 250 in best buy credit. Anyone know when the next 5x rwz is happening :)

Ask BB for it, it`s April will be 4 months since the last seems about right timing

I personally don't think it's going to last that long. They have said that it is just a limited time sale (no one knows when it ends) that Walmart was doing and then Best Buy matched them. Amazon followed when a ton of people were telling them of the better deal and begging them to match it.

I think it's really only going for one week but maybe while supplies last.

I wouldn't pay full price if I missed on this though.

ugh, Best Buy didn't match Wal-mart lol. Thats not how it works. If that was the case wouldnt best buy just match everyone elses ad every week without us having to price match?

Yeah I've been trying to hammer that point home. Walmart didn't just decide, out of the blue, that it would cut the price of the Xbox One and Target, Best Buy and Amazon didn't just decide to follow their lead to be competitive.

This most certainly was initiated by MS.

No, that's not how it works. Best Buy decided to do a national price-match on Wal-Mart's deal. They never had it advertised until they decided to match Walmart because a lot of people were just going in and getting them to price match so many consoles.

Ok so. how come they have never done this before? They just don't drop the price on an item midweek because another company decides to run a sale.

I don't recall Major Nelson making it known that Target was offering a $50 gift card with an Xbox One a few weeks ago.

You're clueless. It was Walmart's deal and both Target and Best Buy will match Walmarts prices. There was a really high-demand for the price so Best Buy just matched it nationally. Amazon eventually came around to match it after a ton of people were asking for them to match it. Target has not matched it nationally but you can get it them to match easily.

They probably have done this before on a popular deal. I'm pretty sure they have.

They didn't just notice Walmart was running the deal and then decided to do it themselves. They were getting tons of sales and a lot of people asking for a price match. It was just a very popular deal especially when first posted. People were right away going to Best Buy to get them, maybe because of trade credit or whatever reason but lots of people were getting them to match. At that point they just decided to run the deal themselves also. They do this with popular deals all the time to get people in their stores instead of Walmarts.

Want a game? Want a controller? Buy a headset. This is how it works. It was insanely popular. You guys don't get how price match guarantees work or competitive business.

wow, you are just really dense and have no idea how business works, lol.

 
Ok if that's all you can say.   All that I said were facts.  You cats are clueless.  This is going right back up to $500 with no Titanfall as soon as the bundles are gone.

Honestly... this ranks up there with some of the most ridiculous things I've read.

Best Buy will sell exponentially more copies of "movie of the week" each and every week then they will video game consoles. And they certainly don't drop their prices mid week because Walmart, Amazon, etc. has that movie priced for less.

The only time something like this happens mid sales week is when it is initiated by a manufacturer.

How do you explain the non-titanfall bundles being priced $449.99 as well?

 
blueweltall said:
Damn I thought it was just for the Titanfall bundle.
Click to expand...
No. I could be wrong but haven't all the standard green consoles been converted to Forza bundles? Either way Best Buy has both Forza and Titanfall bundles as $449.99 and all X1 consoles are ringing up $449.99 at Walmart B&M (not sure about online)

You could also use the X1AMAZON code at amazon to get the Forza bundle for $449.99 too. I thought this price drop was just because Microsoft wanted people more people to buy Titanfall on the Xbox one and not the 360 but I guess not.

Microsoft should start giving away a free digital game to their early adopter to show some appreciation to the early adapters.

That's basically it. They aren't going to restrict the deal to bundles though. Obviously if they're going to sell the Titanfall bundle for this price then they're not going to be selling just the console for $500 still. But this is just a temporary sale. It is not going to stay at this price. The console will probably see a $50 price drop though eventually to $450 but it will only be the console. Only deals around Black Friday and will only be equal to this deal at best.

They are probably going to drop it to $399 with 2 free games plus Kinect intact just because you keep on insisting they won't go lower. I would had been called crazy if I predicted that you could get Titanfall plus an Xbox One with Kinect for $450 4 months after launch last year but here we are now with not 1 but 3 major retailers.

You are on a video game deal site, we don't need Microsoft to drop the MSRP to get a better deal.

There won't be a better deal. You're just babbling.

Sure if you wait 3 years you can save $200 but that's not the point here.

There's always a better deal.

Two weeks ago Kmart was running a "Buy $25 GC and get a free $5 GC".

I could have bought $500 worth of Gift Cards in $25 increments and gotten $100 worth of $5 Gift Cards.

I then could have paid for the Xbox One using the Gift Cards I had purchased and after tax had $75 leftover.

I could have also used a 15% back SYWR coupon that was attached to my account and earned $75 in points (although they are starting to cap them at $50 back per transaction) in conjunction with the gift card deal.

Either way I could have bought a X1 at full retail of $500 and gotten a better deal then paying $450 at Walmart.

We don't need to see an MSRP drop to $400 to get a better deal then what is going on this weekend. We just need an opportunity to make a better deal.

As I told you I got a Titanfall bundle for $400 (before tax) last week. I sold it because I have a Day One console already. But I am sure within the next month or two I'll be able to get another (if I wish) at that price or cheaper all things factored in.

The only truth in your statement is that Microsoft may not drop the MSRP lower then $450 in the next few months. I would hesitantly agree with you on that. But to say you won't get a better overall deal in the next few months is as ridiculous as saying that all these major retailers just decide to nationally price match each other this week without any collaboration with Microsoft.

 
Actually the KMart deal had a limit of 2 per person.  So no you couldn't have done that with all the BS you listed.  You're lost, try again

You could buy 1,000 if the cashier allowed it.

I bought nearly $800 worth of gift cards as I needed tires at Sears. You just had to do them in separate transactions of $25 each. But yeah... try again.

 
I don't know what will happen to MSRP but I'm pretty damn sure the Black Friday price of Xbox One consoles bundled with a game will be 399.99. Anyone that thinks a better deal is to be had in March than on BF has either not been around here long or has a lot to learn about the importance of holiday sales.

These $450 bundles are great deals for people that want Titanfall or Forza on Xbox One really badly. For most people there is still no "killer app" and waiting will result in more games and lower prices.

You sound pretty clueless and broke for that matter. There's absolutely no chance in what you say happening. Do you have any sale to reference that makes you think this? Past Black Friday sales have been pretty non existent on consoles but yea you really know it all that they're going to knock $100 off their console and bundle in some games a year later. You really have no clue.

Ugh.. a price drop already on a bundle that has been out 10 days??

It is selling pretty well from what I have seen.

Anything I can do on a amazon order and try to get $50 credited back or something?

I'm going to write them and see what I can do.

What do you mean do an amazon order? Amazon is also doing the same price via a code for $50 off like BBY.

http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Console-Titanfall-Bundle/dp/B00IIHU44E/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395668669&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=xbox+one+titranfall

[SIZE=.82em]Order Xbox One and Get a Special Bonus Offer
Order this item and enter the code “XIAMAZON” at checkout for a bonus offer. Valid when shipped and sold by Amazon.com. Amazon reserves the right to change or terminate this promotion at any time. Limited to one per customer. This is a limited time offer while supplies last.[/SIZE]


If what you mean is you already bought on amazon and want to get credited back, yeah you can do it YMMV, contact chat via returns/refunds and it was done this way for me. Good luck.
