   So the price is dropping to 399.99, effective Friday. Not only that there are a couple of deals to be had.
   
   On the Microsoft store, buy an XB1 and buy as many titles as you like for £20 each.
   
   Titanfall bundle announced, 399.99 with a free download copy of Titanfall, plus a months XBL.

   MS would be losing on every console sold at that price. As it stands, theyre still selling well so MS arent under pressure to really shift them, to me this is just a move to capitalise on Titanfall release (which I think will sell consoles in its own right.) Right now, theyre still building their userbase, and at a profit, and every console sold =software sales, which means more profit.

   Wonder if they will offer a free download to the people's who bought it at full price.
   
   Kinda pissed off that I paid the full price then 3 months later they drop the price like they have.

   But you don't expect them to drop the price less than 6 months from launch.
   
   I've bought launch consoles since n64 and I can't remember a price drop as quick as this. Only ones I haven't bought on launch were PS3 & 4 as I don't like Sony equipment.
