'Titanfall' Pre-Orders on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One Include a $10 Xbox Gift Card

8CN: According to the game's official listing on the Microsoft Store, Titanfall pre-orders for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One will come with a $10 Xbox gift card digital code. This offer does not seem to apply to the PC version of the game though, nor is it being advertised by other retailers such as the official Titanfall website (which is taking pre-orders through Origin).

Probably sponsored by Microsoft to increase sales and make it more profitable for Respawn which would help in securing the Titanfall IP. Nice offer though.

Sounds like a smart plan to me, also take in to consideration all the flak this got from a certain group of gamers for no reason other than it not coming to a particular system. All in all I'm glad I waited to pre-order as I will save $10 when I buy watch dogs. Awesome year ahead for the XB1!!!!

NewMonday3780d ago

Must be because the pre-orders didn't pick up as we come closer to release

Kingthrash3603780d ago

i hope this dosent suggest alot of microtransactions in the game...0.0

Mikey943780d ago (Edited 3780d ago )

Respawn already said theres no Microtransactions

Edit: Dont know why I got Downvotes for the truth.

What part even remotely hints at MT other than you pulling it out of thin air?

theWB273780d ago

No one has to calm down and I doubt anyone is sensitive. It's just instinct to correct idiotic comments I guess.

Maybe you shouldn't be so quick to post crap that doesn't make sense??

Kingthrash3603780d ago

lol how dosent it make sense after forza?
ms has had some bad practises so its ok for some to worry about such things. worrying is better than ignoring the problem....no?

Good for gamers. But it shows that Microsoft need this to be a success as it is the big showcase game for the Xbone. But does the card offer suggest that preorders are less than they were hoping for?

XiSasukeUchiha3781d ago

Decent offer I'm getting it for the PC and 360 though

4logpc3780d ago

They usually offer a $10 giftcard to MS Store, or 1600 point card with games. I got 1600 point cards with Forza Horizon, Gears of War Judgement, GTA 5, and a few others. Amazing deal.

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.

MadLad628d ago

Lol

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

Venoxn4g628d ago (Edited 628d ago )

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

I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS 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."

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.

littletad908d 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.

Ethereal907d 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.
