That's the same price customers can buy the company's console with no additional software.
Microsoft is making a strong push to attract new gamers with help from the highly anticipated Titanfall.The company on Monday announced that starting March 11, it will sell an Xbox One Titanfall Special Edition Bundle for $499. According to Microsoft's Larry Hryb (better known as "Major Nelson"), the offering will only be available in "limited quantities."
the bundle includes the Xbox One and Kinect, along with a single wireless controller and chat headset. However, unlike many bundles, which include a physical copy of the game, the Titanfall bundle will include a download code for a digital copy. It'll also feature a one-month Xbox Live Gold membership. That it's offering Titanfall digitally is likely how Microsoft is able to keep the bundle's price the same as its standard console selling price.
Today's news follows comments made recently by Respawn, assuring gamers that the team is doing everything it can to ensure that there shouldn't be any launch-day issues with online gaming for the title. The game's lead engineer, Jon Shiring, told Polygon recently that the game was able to handle 2 million players in its online beta.
Titanfall special edition bundle preorders are already kicking off at the Microsoft Store and Amazon. Major Nelson says supplies are limited, so interested gamers might want to move quickly.
