vg247 says "Microsoft took a lot of people off guard today by announcing a price cut in the UK on the Xbox One, a games console it only released last November.
Critics, analysts, fans, marketers and everyone else with a throwaway opinion had been calling out Microsoft for its overpriced console since it first revealed the price point at E3 last year, but it was still a shock to see the company slash £30 off the machine and throw in a copy of Titanfall to boot."
Note: cant please everyone, and early adopters in the uk got forza 5 and fifa 14 for free.
With Arkane Austin shutting its doors this week, it's a good time to reflect on one the most innovative roguelike-inspired triple-A experiences of recent years.
I’ve got it, never played it. Prey is a game I really wanted to like and it’s a game I really should have liked, everything about it is right up my street. But I just don’t know what it was but I just couldn’t stick with it.
"The Warsaw-based (Poland) indie games publisher Untold Tales and indie games developer Exit Plan Games, are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released the free "Wild West" update for their open-world sandbox/adventure “Bang-On Balls: Chronicles“ (the said update is available right now for PC and consoles worldwide)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
From Software parent company Kadokawa has released its financials for the year, and while profits are down, Armored Core has performed surprisingly well.
Name another company that has ever released only games worthy of a 90+ score for over a decade? starting with Demon's Souls, nothing but 90+s...even DS2 was a great game.
i understand that early adopters are pissed but come on now MS needs to sell the xbox ones its not doing them any favors sitting on store shelves and warehouses as they would be loosing even more money. this way they sell more boxes to gamers who could not afford the premium price. price drops with every product/ service happen unfortunately if they are not meeting the projected margins they set out to reach
If they can easily do something like this then what's to say they won't announce a Kinect-less bundle later on this year.
People keep saying
"They won't because it would be a slap to the face towards early adopters"
Yet they've just slashed the price this early despite loyal fans buying their console day one at full price.
Sorry, but this is ridiculous. You should know what to expect as an early adopter because this is just the kind of thing that can happen.
The majority of early adopters aren't pissed, put your dummy back in.
Maybe they will do this in the US. I might hold off getting one for a bit longer
