The following games will be available at launch: Forza Motorsport 5, Kinect Sports Rivals, Powerstar Golf, Zoo Tycoon, Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, Dance Central Spotlight, Neverwinter Online, Rayman Legends Trials Fusion, and Naughty Kitties from Chinese developer Coconut Island.
Officially set at £329 but it's not hard to fine a Xbox One £20 cheaper than that. GameStop still have the White Sunset Overdrive bundle at £309 and that's been available for 2-3 weeks.More price drops for the Xb0x, this time for those in the UK
This game lineup does not surprise me. China has all sorts of restrictions of fictional depiction of concepts like independence and rebelliousness. Basically any concept that is perceived as anti-communist.
I imagine they'll be a roaring trade in black imports of disc games.

Is it really a price cut of 100 from original price? Seems like different SKUs when they're talking about launch prices and the recent listing.
Xbox one and Kinect for 429.
Xbox one and Kinect for 399.
Xbox one without Kinect for 349.

So, anybody know how this Xbox Live Rewards thing works?
I did finally get an email from Microsoft asking me to upgrade to an Xb0x and telling me that I'll receive 50,000 Live Reward Points for doing so. Hurray.
I have no idea what the conversion of Reward Points to Currency is, although the program tells you that it is an option. I'm guessing 50,000 Reward Points convert to a $50 gift card, but I can't find proof of that anywhere on the Xbox Live Rewards website, or on other reviews of the program.
NVM - I did find the value of the rewards, each 1,000 points is worth $5.
So they're going to give you $250 worth of rewards for what??? Buying an Xbox One? That's crazy. Where's my deal like that?
I get a rewards email that I notice every so often...it's always zero. I dont even know how you're supposed to get rewards anymore. I thought one way was buying Gold, but I bought/redeemed two 12 month gold cards back in July (from a store) and didn't see any reward.
Been a Rewards member since it started, but haven't done anything with it since they completely changed the program last year. I think I have 4000 or so. You can't cash in the points until you have 5000. I did get an email saying you can get reward points when buy DLC for games that are currently free through the Games with Gold program.

I think you get those rewards simply by playing? :smile2:So, anybody know how this Xbox Live Rewards thing works?

Yeah, sorry. My conclusion was correct but my math was off. I should stop trying to do multiple things at once while at work. In the future, I'll try to focus on the important things, like making sure my posts are correct!
Every 5,000 points are worth $5. So the 50,000 offer is the same as a $50 MS gift card.
I didn't get it for anything in particular, I don't know why I got the "exclusive email offer".
It just says if I buy an Xb0x and log into Live prior to Oct 6, I'll get 50,000 reward points.
You should have gotten points for gold memberships, but maybe you don't get them because they only count if you buy them through MS? I've got 3200 points, 3000 are from a 12 month Gold Renewal and 200 are for making "Champion" level in Achievements. The next levels are Legend and then Master, which is unlikely, but it does show you how many points you get for doing things like watching Netflix a lot or using different apps like ESPN.
If you're buying your 12 month Gold Memberships for more than a $3 discount than you're better off doing what you're doing, rather than getting the points.
Looking at the lifetime stats, apparently they used to be giving MS points and I probably never noticed that I had a few hundred more MS points than I actually purchased. Then again, looking at my stat dashboard, it says I didn't play any games last month, so something is a bit odd.
Log in and see what's up with what. I never cared until I got that email that said it was their "largest rewards points offering ever" and tried to figure out exactly what the return would be.

Three free games, can't grumble at that!IF you do it soon enough you can also get a free game . The white sunset over drive with another game of your choice plus a $50 gift card is a real good steal

Huh? How? The Sunset Overdrive bundles doesn't release until end of Oct?
Microsoft should more widely promote this deal. This is the only place I've read about it. There must be quite a number of people that would be tempted to upgrade that don't read their emails from Xbox (I never did.)
