Xbox One Update: Microsoft Offers Sweet President's Day Sale Bundle
Microsoft's treat to its fans is a bundle set to impress those who are planning to buy the Xbox One unit. According to Gamespot, the company recently announced their President's day sale, and it comes with an extra free game and a $75 gift card when you purchase the Xbox One hardware.
Although players can't pick anything they want as part of the extra free game option, the Xbox One bundle has some pretty interesting list including "Watch Dogs," "The Crew" and "Assassin's Creed Unity." This latest offer from Microsoft will run until February 15.
Depending on the type of Xbox One bundle you choose, the price varies. The Microsoft Store listed the Xbox One with Kinect Bundle, Xbox One Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege Bundle and Xbox One 1Tb Holiday Bundle for $399. For the Xbox One 500GB Name Your Game Bundle, Xbox One Gears of War: Ultimate Edition Bundle, Xbox One THE LEGO Movie Videogame Bundle and Xbox One + Halo: The Master Chief Collection Bundle, Microsoft now offers them for only $349. Moreover, take note that Gears of War: Ultimate Edition includes beta access.
For the elite bundle of the Xbox One series, Microsoft offers the hardware for $499. All of these offers come with the extra free game and the $75 gift card promo of the Xbox One. Initially, the extra free games are not shown on Microsoft's website, but according to Gamespot, the free game and $75 gift card will appear once you checkout of their online store.
Just recently, Latin Post reported that Microsoft made the error of featuring "Red Dead Redemption" on its backward compatibility feature, until they tracked it back saying it was a mistake during an emulator testing and has since pulled the game out of the list. The error during testing apparently revealed the "Red Dead Redemption" also being put to the test. Does this mean it will be included on the next list? According to IGN, "Red Dead Redemption" is one of the most requested Xbox 360 game candidates for the Xbox One backward compatibility feature.
Some players were able to enjoy for the short time it was available, but the game hasn't been accessible since the announcement. Meanwhile, Xbox One's backward compatibility announcement will now come every time a new game will be added on the list. This will replace their former way of announcing their monthly schedules of new Xbox One backward compatibility games.
