Yeah it really doesn't make any sense. They make more money off the digital purchases and no concern about used copies. I would be all over this for Recore and FH3 to play on PC. I also think they need to be promoting their Windows 10 store more as most PC gamers already consider it dead in the water but some deals for games at launch would at least get people into their ecosystem.
You get the Banjo code from Microsoft Store as well. Best Buy does give you a goofy hat though. lol
Click on the link in the OP and scroll to the bottom. 15,000 points equals $15.
They should make digital games $49.99 or $60 with a $10 credit.
Biggest reason that digital is always more than physical is basically because they need to keep retailers happy. Retail is where a vast majority of their hardware sales come from and so to make sure people are still going in to stores like Best Buy and Target to buy the consoles, they need to give incentive for retail game copies to sell over digital.
Not sure why you buy a Xbox One. There's nothing on it that's not already available on all of your other gaming devices, except for less than a handful of old in-house exclusives. I need to ask myself the same question. lol
This does also. I think you can also qualify for Bing Rewards credits, even though the $10 gift card to microsoft store doesn't stack, you'll still get bing and xbox live rewards credits and the banjo kazoozie code.
A. Halo is one of my favorite series of all time
By having it eligible for the same $10/15,000 promo that most, if not all, pre-orders have been eligible for this year?
Exclusives sell systems. And Xbox needs to sell systems. I don't know if you guys noticed, but for the first time EVER this gen Xbone outsold PS4 in July.
Incorrect unless you mean specifically the month of July. The last time the Xbox One was on top of the PS4 was October 2015, it has happened multiple times.
oh. yeah. did a little digging seems you are right. But just in the USA.
I wish MS would wake up and look at why the 360 was successful globally, even in Asian countries other than Japan. It was all about exclusives, not just 1st party but 3rd party as well. Not just console exclusives but exclusives period. Basically, if you wanted to play these domestic and Japanese games, and there were a lot, you had to buy the 360. Unfortunately, MS has lost this concept and went cheap with marketing in Japan. Now they face the consequences with Xbox One on a global scale. Yet, Sony is doing exactly what MS was doing with the 360 on the PS4 and it's succeeding. Coincidence? I think not.
Cashback rewards program tied to your credit card. It's only available in 3 states right now though. I use it in Massachusetts and have earned around $50 so far, it's great.
