Going to be like 2 TV's per store I bet..

I'm thinking it probably won't be that limited actually.

They're saying this deal rubs for an entire week, which seems to me that they have enough that they aren't planning on selling out immediately on the first day.

At least I'd hope that's what they're doing. I may go to a Best Buy an hour or two early just to be safe.

 

[SayBooSayDo-SayBooSayWho]

I doubt Black Friday deals will be able to top this. Pretty nice deal.

Top what? it's one game console, a sub 109-p 40 inch tv (i believe you need 50 inches or higher for 1080p) no games, no live, no additional accessories for the TV.

BF will have console, games live, and some other deals, headset remote maybe.

You don't need 50 inches for 1080p, where on earth did you here that? There are 4k TVs less than 50 inches.

 

[Rodney McKay]

Hopefully this is actually the ad...

The Gamespot article doesn't have a source for what they're saying and they seem to be the only people saying it.

Not saying it's wrong (I sure hope it happens), but I'll feel a little more confident when more people start reporting on it. Or maybe not and I'll have a better chance of getting one if noone else knows about the deal, haha.

the Xbox One is a college essential

Because of all that local co-op in the new Halo, right??

For real though, if I was going to college this Fall I'd bring a wii u, locked & loaded with Kart and Smash.

Madden, Fifa, NHL, Mortal Kombat. Don't under estimate the buying power of the dudebro.

Oh damn I didn't know 4 of my TV sets were under 1080p, oh shit.

 

[OdysseusVA]

obvious troll is obvious

 

[10k]

Isn't a TV having smart functions pointless if you're bundling a console with it?

I'm up in Canada anyways and can't take advantage of this

 

[Apoleptica]

I'm going to go camp outside of best buy for this right now.

 

[phant0m]

But dudebro, competitive CoD is moving to PS4 in the fall!

 

[e90Mark]

Tempting just to get the TV for a few hundred bucks after unloading the Xbox.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Is it regular season already?

 

[trembli0s]

The TV or the X1 is essentially free. I don't think I have ever seen a tech deal that good in my life.

Wow.

 

[Vyrance]

If I didn't already have a couple TVs I might have bit on this. Great price for the combo

 

[Birgitte2004]

I've joked about "buy a game, get an Xbox One free" in the past as a surefire way for Microsoft to catch up.

Now I'm questioning just how much of a joke it is.

I wonder how much of this is Best Buy, and how much is MS.

 

[Koppai]

But I just got my Xbox One for free :3

 

[fvng]

Amazing!!

 

[Dramos]

Madden, Fifa, NHL, Mortal Kombat. Don't under estimate the buying power of the dudebro.

No NBA? Man...

 

[Rurunaki]

Makes me sad that i had to pay for my xb1 when i could've just waited and practically gotten one for free..

 

[Conor_Fool]

I have been on the hunt for a 40 inch TV, though I already have a xbone. If I could sell the xbox for $275 I would still be getting a pretty damn good deal, only problem is I don't know if anyone on craigslist would actually buy.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Guaranteed to sell out- getting in on this cause:why not? Nephews birthday is around the corner

 

[Az]

Not sure what's better, the deal or some of the comments in here.

 

[shadowfall]

Sounds like a great TV. If it was a Sony TV I would have probably got it.

Why doesn't Sony do such a deal with their TV, PS4, vita and PS Plus bundled?

 

[RedAssedApe]

tempted to get in on this for a tv for the guest bedroom is this going to be available online or just B&M bait and switching only?

 

[SayBooSayDo-SayBooSayWho]

You don't need 50 inches for 1080p, where on earth did you here that? There are 4k TVs less than 50 inches.

It's not native though. Why do you think people are saying "phone is in 1080p" so you really think a smartphone screensize is more 1080p than a 50 inch TV? (of course this may just be me not knowing the real difference)

I mean correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you supposed to have a 50 or more inch TV for the optimal full HD experience?

 

[Mindman]

Will this include the new 1 TB model or the old 500 GB model?

 

[jbug617]

Will this include the new 1 TB model or the old 500 GB model?

Seems like 500GB $349.99 version. Maybe they will count the Halo MCC Bundle

Thought so. Want the one with the updated controller and 1TB, but I may settle on this one for this deal.

I have no idea where you're getting these thoughts from. What does "more 1080p" mean? You can have multiple sized screens have the same resolution. The bigger they get the easier you'll notice the pixels. Optimal resolution is dependent on both the size of the screen as well as the distance you're viewing it, which is why phones have such high resolution screens.

What do you think about computer monitors that are 1080p - 1440p?

 

[spannicus]

if you want Xbox, this is your chance, also get a TV. if this aint good enough I don't know what is. Stop trolling and get your money right.

 

[rokkerkory]

You can always resell the base model for the 1TB?

I have no idea what you're trying to say, yet I am confident that you're wrong.

What the heck are you talking about, "more 1080p?" That number refers to a number of pixels. It is a set factual measurement.

The only thing that changes is how people perceive it. That high amount of pixels on a phone will have a high pixel density meaning the pictures and lines will be really sharp. On the other hand some people say that under 50 inches you dont need as high a resolution because your eyes arent good enough to see the difference. However that's just some peoples opinions and also depends on your eyesight. I think 1080 on a 40 would look really good. If your eyesight sucks then you wont notice the difference.

I think in general it would help if people stopped focusing on the resolution number and started thinking about pixel density, because that's what it's about when you really get down to it.

(of course this may just be me not knowing the real difference)

Correct

 

[Effect]

So no confirmation regarding this from any other outlet?

 

[Hollycat]

Wish I had the money

Correct

Ok so now it makes sense.

 

[Jonboy]

If anyone wants the TV, let me know and we can work something out where I buy the Xbox One from you.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Damn. I don't have that kind of money and I still might get this deal. Boy do I suck with money.

 

[TechOne]

Shouldn't it be a 900p TV?

Do you question why the PS4 comes with a game controller packed in

Fight!

 

[Brannon]

Sure it's a shit TV, but College! Xbox! It's perfect for split screen sessions of Hal...






*eye twtich*

 

[maxcriden]

I guess now I ask myself if I want an XB1 just for Ori.

 

[Magwik]

Actually, while it'll most likely include MCC some stores could mess up and throw the Gears ones in

 

[spannicus]

Actually, while it'll most likely include MCC some stores could mess up and throw the Gears ones in

yup.

 

[sturgboski]

And so it begins. This sort of bundle is how I got my 360. If only it was a bigger screen with a higher resolution as I already have a larger tv...

 

[Matticers]

I have an Xbox One and don't really need a new TV. But I'm still tempted to go for this deal. That's how good of a deal it is.

 

[Worship]

thread title should be:
"playstation fanboys, post your excuse not to get an Xbox One, even if a great deal came along."

damn, lol.

 

[robotrock]

How would this happen? The free MCC is a code packed into the box.

 

[Magwik]

How would this happen? The free MCC is a code packed into the box.

It releases on the 12th, so assuming people there is a decent amount of bundles sold, stores are going to lump in the Gears bundle (which is a pack in as well).

 

[Worship]

I have an Xbox One and don't really need a new TV. But I'm still tempted to go for this deal. That's how good of a deal it is.

i was thinking the same. i am needing to swap out the little tv i have in the bedroom eventually. and i dont need a second xbox, but i wouldnt mind having another one in the other room so the wife and i can co-op full screen.
