Game came to an agreement with Microsoft here where I live and they are offering an excellent pre-order deal by giving people a game for free (they let you choose between Ryse and Forza 5)
if you pre-order the Day One edition of the Xbox One.
There is more to it though. Additionally, they give you what they call a "Xbox One Pre-Order" card with the following benefits: :smile:
-
A free game (either Ryse or Forza 5 -retail disc only-) and a Xbox One console granted on launch day.
- A
20% overvaluation of your used games which they will add directly to your card's balance.
- A
15% overvaluation of your used hardware for those who want to trade-in their old consoles.
-
Discounts in videogames and accessories, peripherals and the like.
-
You can use your Xbox One Day One pre-order card as a money box. Using the card as a piggybank people can start to save money today, for instance, and you can deposit money how and when you want to. Putting money in helps with future discounts and so on.
Great stuff if you ask me.
p.s. On a different note, I've decided that I am going to buy most of my games in retail discs, just to support Game and other retail stores. They have a lot of young people working there.
