Xbox One Madden bundle announced

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/08/04/microsoft-reveals-xbox-one-madden-nfl-15-bundle

Kinda a redundant feeling bundle since you know the game will be completely outdated in a year

PS4 gets you no games with a purchase of it. Thanks Sony!

People buy up Madden but I don't know how many people would buy an actual bundle for Madden.

MS is throwing a ton of stuff at the wall hoping something sticks

The fact that people buy Madden every year. Itbaffles me I hate football and find sports games repetitive(same stuff every year).. even though I am a hard core Hockey guy, I dont buy NHL either.

I can see it selling consoles to the people who have not bought one yet and love that franchise

Here is the official MS release

http://news.xbox.com/2014/08/games-madden-nfl-15-xbox-one-bundle?cid=SOC_twitter&ocid=SOC_twitter

And you get

• Download code for Madden NFL 15 on Xbox One
• Standard Xbox One console
• Standard Xbox One wireless controller
• Standard Xbox One chat headset
• Special edition Madden NFL 15 packaging
• Token for three Madden NFL Ultimate Team Pro Packs

edit: and pretty much every game is outdated within a year.. COD, Gears of War, etc

P-please buy our console

10 million Madden sales a year.

There may be takers? Is madden free?

EDIT: Game is Free.....My god. That's crazy.

Microsoft and EA sitting in a tree.....

im hearing that xb1 is where all the madden competitors is at

@GrenadeLauncher: Vita exists

LOL and it's a fucking download code so you can't trade it in. Dat unprecedented partnership.

Oh I didn't even check the link....game is free huh. That might entice some folks.

Yeah and you're stuck with it because it's digital. It doesn't even come with a physical copy lol.

@Blabadon:

I cannot believe Microsoft is giving away Madden for free?

EA allowed this...This franchise sales huge numbers.

WTF is going on with Microsoft and EA.

Sony Press Release incoming: "We find no value in this bundle for our customers."

Love you long time. ~Kaz

No "ps4 is shit" in tittle. tc slipping

DC much?

Sony Press Release incoming: "We find no value in this bundle for our customers."

Love you long time. ~Kaz

Do people even trade in Sports games? They have no value at all once the next year comes out.

Personally I love digital downloads.. I dont trade in games anyways

Havn't played a Madden game since the Mega Drive days, and i'm ok with that.

And? EA let MS chuck in FIFA 14 for free last year. It's hardly unprecedented, unlike the partnership.

It didn't help then either.

The last Madden game I bought was Madden 2002. I am in no rush to buy another.

Are you seeing the Big picture here Jr. ?

Bundles are nice, but I would like my bundle to come with something other than madden. Casuals are not going to buy a whole new console for madden.

Yeah how stupid of them to want such a thing.

Madden = Casuals

I know guys who only buy Madden and COD. Not saying this will boost sales.

That statement is just wrong.

You ever been to a games shop? I'm always falling over dozens of copies of Fifa 13 and 12.

Last time I went I also saw about 20 copies of Fighter Within chucked into the bargain too, lmao.

@b4x

Are you seeing the big picture here?

@ladyblue: I'm playing CoD on it rn so maybe next time I get bored.

These threads really frighten you?

Xbox Studios and EA merger spin off coming? Heard rumors about and Xbox spinoff.

What do you think?

Sony Press Release incoming: "We find no value in this bundle for our customers."

Love you long time. ~Kaz

I have seen them there too.. but that does not mean the seller got a lot for them. Personally I would rather keep the game then sell it for the $2-$10 from Game Stop

Heck the current Madden 25 is only worth $10 on trade in and the new one has not been released

Trying too hard now, blackace.

??? Destiny bundle?

yeah buy who buys a console to play madden? A casual would buy madden on the console he already has, or the one his friends play on.

Blackace. That all you have?

Sony calling EA's new service basically a rip-off.... now these exclusive bundles and EA access Xbox exclusive.

Something is UP dude. I may be wrong, we'll see.

If something wasn't up do you think Sony would be calling one of the biggest publishers on the planet a rip-off...adding no value to our customers?

That's why I said big picture. Your DC is comical though. Carry on.

Destiny free?

You usually are

Meh, now if they'd give you a custom xbox with you're favorite team, that would be something Id be interested in.

LOL

It's just sad at this point how Microsoft is so desperate for people to buy the XBone.

They could've avoided all of this shit from the start and been neck and neck with Sony right now if they just would've ditched the stupid mandatory Kinnect bullshit and released the XBone at a $399 price point from the get-go.

You are aware all these deals will have been made months or probably years in advance, right?

I guess Sony figures giving the most hated publisher in the industry the finger would get them more credence than backlash.

What's the point changing the subject after being comprehensively destroyed, blackace?

Oh wait, I know why. Back to your hole.

@b4x said:

Don't worry, I know how you're reacting right now.

Why would Sony offer this bundle?

The PS4 is still outselling the XBone by a 3 to 1 margin.

What would even be the point?

This reeks of desperation by Microsoft. To even attempt to argue otherwise is ridiculous.

Is this supposed to be a dig at my username or something?

I haven't owned a Nintendo console or played a Zelda game in 10+ years.

Who gives a shit?

It's just blackace sinking into another drink-fuelled meltdown. Don't worry about it.

No. I thought you might be interested in it? The release date was just announced.

Stay calm sir.

Yeah that could get quite a few of the gamers I knew in the old Army barracks. They loved their Madden/NBA/COD. Moving up to this gen with a free copy of Maden? Some will buy it.

Says the guy DCing has little fingers off. Twin?

Madden is a system seller? Lame bundle.

??? Did he state free???

Destiny bundle comes with a physical game, limited edition color, and extra PSN time.

Think he was just too focused on those beautiful tittles

That would require there being damage I need to control.
