I'm figuring it'll end on the 13th, and start back up the 14th.
They should just make the price drop permanent.
it pretty much is, the console leaps from one cut to the next, never permanent but always on one.
I feel like XB1 price drops have come so often that people are just going to keep waiting until it becomes free lol
How many timed discounts has the XBone had already?
Same day as Microsoft's E3 press conference...
Is it coincidential that it ends just one day before E3 starts? I don't think so... hehe ;)
So once more MS drops its pants and bent over.. LOL
@E3: "We have been overwhelmed by the support for Xbox during this sale, so we're going to be super nice guys and make this price cut permanent! We totally weren't planning this all along! YAY!"
Also Windows 10 is going to be free for another decade if it hasn't already automatically updated when you weren't looking as soon as E3 is over your PC will start the update for you! for freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
If they pull this move it's going to look so sad and desperate. Which has pretty much been the theme for Xbox this gen.
Really surprised about sales being down YOY.
