The Target deal is not working for Tomb Raider and Fallout.Maybe i have to wait until 12:00 pst
And you can't combine those two games for the best buy deal.
I'll hit the store in the AM, assuming the online deal is valid at brick and mortar stores. Maybe I can luck up and grab a pipboy edition.
The deal is working online right now, and its available for in store pick up. I just got
Fallout 4
Black ops 3
Tomb Raider
They will cut $59.99 off when you check out.
Microsoft warned buyers that Xbox One Elite controllers might be low in stock for the rest of 2015. Amazon has decreed that controllers might not be available until 2016.
Amazon posted a long note on the availability of the Xbox One Elite controller as of right now. The outlook does not look pretty if you want one in time for Christmas.
Amazon announced: “Due to high customer demand, orders shipped from and sold by Amazon.com placed now are unlikely to be delivered until Spring 2016. Order now and we’ll notify you by email when we have an estimated delivery date for this item. Orders will be fulfilled in the order in which they are received.”
The semi-good news is that if you ordered the controller between October 9th until October 20th, you should be able to receive it by mid-December sometime. Hopefully those orders will be delivered in time for Christmas.
Retailers and Microsoft may have underestimated the demand for the Xbox One Elite controllers. These bad boys cost $149.99 a pop. They may be expensive, but they’re the most accurate controllers you can get for the console. They are perfect for professional gamers or anyone else that wants accuracy and precision.
I have the Elite Xbox one console( traded my xbox one in for $250) my Xbox one started to act up some games I had to put in- reject- then put in again like 5 times. The Elite is 20% faster more storage at 1TB all of my old games were sync in by the Xbox one cloud( so no worries about anything u saved before) it's quieter and the controller is the best I've ever felt.
It's solid rubber grips on the handle feel complete, the Paddle switches on the bottom, everything is interchangeable with magnetic force and I haven't even started to configure the custom buttons yet.
if you're up MS store has some again in stock right now...ships 12/7 but you have to act now...they'll be gone in about 5-10 minutes...they get them sporadically thru out the day and in limited quantities
*edit*
never mind...gone already...had one in the cart and hesitated yet again...I'm trying not to make rash purchases tho but was thinking I could resell it if the one from gamestop cones thru...the crazy shit is if these controllers were sitting in the store right now and there was no hype surrounding them I probably wouldn't have bothered getting one
I should've preorderd that controller when i had the chance, I was waiting for a deal. Now i have to wait until next yearlol. Unless The Microsoft store comes through with extra controllers in December. Major Nelson said they will.
ya they said the shortage will last thru nov. I think in dec. you'll be able to get it anywhere...I think amazon is saying spring 2016 just to play it safe but I'd be surprised af if it really take that long for them to restock...no way MS misses out on this created hype and not rake in that xmas $$$
and low key I still think you'll start seeing more pop up next week in time for them to make some $$$ on thanksgiving/black fri.
yo tomb raider is the truth!!!!i mean this could be ONE of the best looking games out.its so much to do in this game.any one else like it?in a bit i am about to pop in fallout 4 an see whats it about.oh to any one that want to know if you have the ea hub,then thursday we can start playing the star wars battle front.nov.12th...i cant wait for this too.

na you won't see any for a while...only actual digital deals I see for XB1 is the weekly sales XB1 store has on tuesdays...between bestbuy reward points...and shopping points I get back from using my credit cards or trade-in credit I'm usually able to knock off anywhere between $10-30 off a game tho...2k15 is the only game I paid full price for...and I'm all digital on XB1 w/ over 20 games...ebay has also been a good place to get digital games cheap...w/ all these XB1s that come bundled w/ digital copies of games...you'll find ppl selling codes on ebay bcuz they already have the game...I think there is an XB1 bundle that comes w/ fallout 4...not sure if it's a digital/physical copy tho...if it's digital then you'll def see ppl selling the codes on ebay
*edit*
I just checked out an unboxing video...the bundle comes w/ a physical copy of fallout 4...maybe for thanksgiving/BF the XB1 store might knock $10 off but you might have to create your own discount using coupons reward points trade-ins etc.

is the deal still live ???
I used it and got Halo, Fallout and 2k16 for 98 bucks.
I'm about to create another target.com account and get 3 more games to knock out my Christmas shopping.

Yeah they delayed Fallout, but they shipped Tomb Raider and Black ops.

You may think bout doing what I did then. See I had the "day one edition" like I told my wife it's not under warranty anymore, plus I ain't waiting months to get it back from repair. So with some birthday money-$200 and I traded my Xbox one-$250 plus some games I don't play anymore..not only was it paid in full..but GameStop thru in a 2nd controller-$62.00 for FREE.
So I got new console( quieter, faster, more storage) and the hard to find Elite controller( best thing ever made) to me it was a no brainer
You made out bro. I waited this this year to get mine, and I'm pissed that there are so many damned deals for new buyers.
I think I got my hustle planned out. I got one of those product protection plans for 2 years (I don't trust xbox after going thru 3 xbox 360s). So I'll deal with this bullshit for now and when the time is almost up, I'll return it and get a new one.
good find
Fellas,
Newegg.com got a deal on Digital copy of FALLOUT 4 ($48.94) when you use Promo Code: VCOSINGLE15 and select VISA CHECKOUT
if I can find an old xbox one controller I'm do that trade-in deal...but I called gamestop and they said w/o the controller I would get $195 credit not $250 bcuz these pieces of shit would deduct the price a used controller would cost ($55) not what I'd get for it ($25) and still no word from these bastards re: my order after 3 attempts @ emailing them this week
and still no word from these bastards re: my order after 3 attempts @ emailing them this week
TL:dr: NXOE starts rolling out after 3:01am ET/ 12:01am PT November 12<sup>th</sup>. Back Compat titles will be playable or start to appear in your collection (for digital purchases) after 3:01pm /12:01 pm (Noon) PT on Thursday
<hr> As we prepare for Thursday’s launch of the New Xbox One Experience, I want to share some details on what to expect and when. We will begin the global rollout of the New Xbox One Experience after 3:01am ET/ 12:01am PT November 12<sup>th</sup>. It’s important to note that not everyone will get the update at once, as it will be deploying globally to the Xbox One audience. As with all Xbox One system updates, here are a few things to keep in mind:
HOW TO GET THE NEW XBOX ONE EXPERIENCE?
If you use the Instant-on power mode (available via Settings – Power & startup), your Xbox One will take the update in the background when you put your console into Connected Standby mode. As this is a global rolling launch, consoles in Connected Standby will be updated at various times throughout the day based on your time zone.
If your console is in Energy-saving mode, your Xbox One will not automatically download and install the update. To initiate the download and update process, you can go to Settings – System to manually check if an update is available and choose “Update Now”.
Note that all Xbox One consoles will receive a prompt for a mandatory update on November 23<sup>rd</sup> if they have not yet updated to the New Xbox One Experience.
- Learn more about system updates on Xbox One here
- Learn more about the New Xbox One Experience system update and build here.
- Starting 3:01am ET/ 12:01am PT November 12<sup>th</sup>, access the Xbox.com support team’s knowledge base regarding known concerns here.
Team Xbox will begin the rollout of the New Xbox One Experience after 3:01am ET/ 12:01am PT November 12<sup>th</sup>.
Not everyone is going to get it at the same time. Depending on the time zone you are in, as well your Xbox One console settings, you may get the New Xbox One Experience at a different time than your friends.
Regardless of when you receive the New Xbox One Experience system update, the Xbox One Backward Compatibility feature will begin rolling out starting at 3:01pm/12:01 PM (noon) PT on November 12<sup>th</sup>. To start playing your Xbox 360 games on Xbox One after this time, refresh your Game Collection to see your pre-purchased, digital Xbox 360 titles from the Backward Compatible title list in your ready to install queue or simply insert the disc for a supported Xbox 360 title and download the game to start playing it on Xbox One.
Hope this helps. Look forward to seeing everyone on Xbox Live!
