It is kind of silly people are arguing over this deal. It is basically the cost everyone cried about (matching the PS4) and a discounted price for Titanfall. yet, that isn't good enough. Always gotta be us or them mentality.
nobody is arguing about the deal in this thread, though.
Best Buy has matched Walmart's price. If Gamestop matches, I may finally pull the trigger.
Picked up infamous this afternoon and the local GameStop managers said GameStop isnt matching this and they dunno why. They actually told people to go to best buy for a better deal lol. The Microsoft rep got an email when he was in the store about this deal too from what they said.
Same reason they still have old games at $59.99 when everyone else has them at 29.99-39.99. Same reason they try to sell a game like Wii Fire Emblem without the case or manual for full complete in box eBay prices but won't match eBay prices when eBay is significantly lower. Same reason you can get $9 off but it ONLY applies to stuff shipped to home so they can charge $9 shipping.
People who run Gamestop corporate are douches lol.
Honestly, I haven't paid any attention. I put the controllers on the charger every couple of days (I'm not consistently a heavy gamer) and never worry about it.How long does it take to charge?
I just use eneloops with my X1 controllers. The batteries don't drain all that quickly, so I'm not too worried about charging them all the time. On the other hand, I do have a charger for my PS4.
^This. Thanks to those that suggested Eneloops to me way back in the thread - finally got some and am very impressed so far. They also work great in Wii controllers.

Apparently, the Xbox One bundle hit $399 on Amazon, but has since gone back up to $449. I wonder how many people got in on that deal!
Technically that isn't true, since the controller comes with a regular set of AA's that you will have to replace, while the ps4 comes with a battery that can be charged.Yeah, no question that the Xbox wins on controller batteries.

Well that's true. It is really dumb that the controllers only last that long, not to mention that they will wear down with each charge of the lifetime of the controller. People wanted to act like having the battery in the controller was the obvious choice and MS made a huge mistake, but I love using my eneloops, especially since they last so long.Technically, it is true, because you don't have to charge the controller every night.
:biggrin:
I saw an interesting report on IGN yesterday. Microsoft is dropping a few interesting hints on what announcements they'll have for upcoming trade shows (E3, Tokyo Game Show (TGS)). The biggest one for me is that they'll be announcing an exclusive JRPG for the console, which is supposedly going to coincide with the XBOX One's release in Japan (or at least be available for it).
The good part? Microsoft helped fund Sakaguchi (the "Father of Final Fantasy") when he needed money to create Mistwalker Studios. If the name doesn't sound familiar, they're the company that created the exclusive JRPGs Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey for the 360. So, there's a good chance that we may see a RPG from them.
The bad part? There was no indication when they would actually announce this. E3 is in June, which is only about two and a half months away at this point, but TGS is in September, which feels like ages at this point! If Microsoft is trying to court the Japanese gamers (again), they may save their heavy hitters for TGS.

Here's the thing though, I wore out my PS3 controller before the battery actually died and didn't hold charge. So I don't think it's a problem in that way at all.
I don't know why they bother with Japan. Twice they got snubbed by them...isn't that enough? One RPG will get them a short sales boost which will die quickly because I'm sure Sony isn't gonna stand by idle.
I must make it clear though that I thought Blue Dragon was terrible so if it is from that team I'm not going to be impressed. People were wearing rose tinted glasses due to the name behind it when it released IMO.
