Titanfall Xbox One Bundle Discontinued

The $500 Xbox One Titanfall bundle that went on sale in March and included a system, Kinect camera, one-month Xbox Live Gold membership, and copy of Titanfall has been discontinued.

"Titanfall bundle is done," Xbox boss Phil Spencer said on Twitter to a fan who asked if Microsoft would offer the bundle without Kinect.

mrpsychoticstalker3534d ago

More than half the Xbox One fanbase has this game. Makes sense to discontinue it. More exciting bundles coming this holiday, that 1TB Cod looks beautiful!!!!

XB1_PS43534d ago

Yeah that doesn't even matter though because most people who buy a bundle that comes with a console don't already have that console.

radler3534d ago

Well according to EA's official numbers they only shifted 990k copies of Titanfall

qwerty6763533d ago

@radler most were probably digital.

Kribwalker3533d ago

@radler

Those numbers you were talking about were fiscal year end, which was March 31. And USA only. Since then, titanfall has remained a top 20 game for almost 5 months. It also released on Xbox 360 after those numbers aswell

Thought EA said it sold 3 million across 360/PC/X1. Actual number sold on a specific console was just speculation.

More than half the XBox One fanbase have Xbox One's as well. I'm not sure the Titanfall bundle particularly targetted people that already have the console, regardless of whether they already had Titanfall :)

Volkama3534d ago (Edited 3534d ago )

It's actually a bit of a shame it is discontinued, as it was imo the best value bundle this year. The Sunset Overdrive, FIFA and COD bundles all lack the kinect.

Kinect may be useless and smelly and whatever else, but it will retail at a pretty hefty price so for sheer value the Titanfall bundle was a good one.

badz1493534d ago

watch MS spin this off as "Xbox One TF Bundle Sold Out at retailers everywhere"! LOL

I kid I kid.

but honestly, this was the best bang for buck for those interested in the Xbone this early in its lifetime.

700p3533d ago

Exactly! So this shouldnt be a shocker. The best bundles of this generation is coming out soon.

FITgamer3533d ago

Yep the PS4 Destiny bundle. If we are looking at pre-orders.

Yes it does bro. I personally have the Ferris white SO Bundle preordered already. MS is doing a great job with Phil at the helm and I think the launch in the other territiories that is coming soon will help gain some ground as well as the great games coming out this year. Great time to be an XB1 owner.

DanielGearSolid3534d ago

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with liking xb1

But do u have to type like its a PR statement

Ripsta7th3534d ago

Why do Sony fans get to praise your system all day but when xbox gamers praise theirs it turns into a PR campaign?
I have stated many times im a PS gamer but always defend xbox gamers on this site because its ridiculous how much hate they get

SoapShoes3534d ago

Eh... I don't really know how great Phil is. He certainly has changed his attitude and put on good PR but he was a huge proponent of MS's original vision. He is just a politician in my eyes.

qwerty6763533d ago

quick everyone disagree with him

he said something positive about xbox.

hello123534d ago

I agree the bundle has no reason to exist now. Sunset Overdrive bundle, Cod Bundle and the Fifa bundle is it now.

jay23534d ago

So pissed that the Sunset bundle, that comes out here 3 days eariler's a 500gb hdd :@

Volkama3534d ago

Don't be. If you are a heavy user then you will probably want an external drive somewhere down the line anyway, if only for the sake of loading times.

LAWSON723533d ago (Edited 3533d ago )

I have to agree any gamer will run out of even just a TB in a couple years. IMO if you are buying the $500 1TB HDD only for that reason you might as well put that $100 towards a nice sized external HDD

RiPPn3533d ago

The new bundles have already almost fallen out of the Amazon top 100, so good chance the Titanfall bundle is just collecting dust, no reason to keep making it if it's not selling!

Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.

MadLad591d ago

Lol

All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

Venoxn4g591d ago (Edited 591d ago )

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games

An ode to Titanfall: The last twitch shooter I'll probably ever enjoy

Windows Central: "Titanfall 1 is being sunset, taken off storefronts by EA. While the servers remain live for now, one has to wonder just how much time it has left. I look back and pay tribute to the last "twitch"-styled shooter I ever truly loved."

Respawn Entertainment is Discontinuing Sales of Original Titanfall

Sales for the original Titanfall are being discontinued.
It will be pulled from subscription services on March 1, 2022.

Physical media. Unfortunately the way games are going these days game servers will eventually be shut down and you can stare at the menu and wish you could play the game again.

littletad872d ago

This is why reading is so important. Nothing to do with digital or physical media. The game, which is online only, is being delisted because of DDOS and other hacker attacks. The case got so bad that only six players in the world log on. For PC. Rather than fix it, they continued to sell the game, broken as it is, and only now just decided to call it quits. But please, go on thinking what you will.

Ethereal870d ago

I'm aware of the DDOS attacks and that this case is not typical. This game would eventually have it's servers shutdown regardless of the current situation so that is a moot point. My comment was in a general sense and that there are instances in which games can be preserved physically when official support ends.

Let's recap your first sentence. I said, "the way GAMES are going these days" indicating a broader stroke than just this game. I agree, reading IS important. I was simply stating the obvious downsides of the digital marketplaces and online only trends in games these days. I could even make the argument that the online only offering which has allowed hacker manipulation has impacted the preservation of this great game. My comment is valid in the general sense and thank you for your permission to continue to think what I will.
