re: Xbox One: S $249 Now / X $499 November 7 2017

Am I the only one that hates the new front end? I cannot figure out how to do much of anything. Was watching the ESPN app and then wanted to quit. Hit the xbox button which took me back to the home but app kept playing in the smaller window. Had to go online to look up how to close the damn thing.

Had to look up online how to delete an app also.

It just isn't very intuitive, especially if you are coming from 360.

Man, with all this complaining about the XBone (and to a lesser degree the PS4), I'm glad I chose to wait it out until the dust settles and they work out the kinks.

I bought my console from Amazon and never got a code. Bastards.

My subscription expires in April, too.

I didn't get a code either. I just bought a year from ebay not too long ago, so I'm not sweating it.

No code for a discount.
Another friend bought a 12 month code from Amazon and they sent him a code for 20$ in the marketplace.

I bought my console from them. I bought a code... nothing.
No discount code...

Sheesh.

Although I still <3 Amazon.

The email said
"
Dear Amazon.com Customer,

Customers who have shown an interest in multiplayer Xbox 360 games might like to know that, for a limited time, they can get $20 off a 12-month Xbox Live Gold membership using the code below at checkout.

This was an advertised deal that they had running for a couple of weeks before the new console's release.

There was a 945mb update today for NBA 2k14 and it's still kicking me to the dashboard. Unbelievable.

There was an update for COD:Ghosts yesterday, it was small, less than 1 GB. And it made me feel like I was in a PS3 (It was really slow)

Not quite. CostCo sells everything at an 11% markup from what they pay for it, across the board.

A discount to the consumer nonetheless.

that can't be right in this situation. the margins on video game hardware are minuscule. maybe they struck a deal with microsoft to sell at this price or something, but there's no way they paid less than $450 per console.

also, i don't think the 11% is right, either. wiki says they won't price anything above 15%, which means it could be anywhere from 0 - 15%. this article talks about that: http://online.barrons.com/article/SB...bs_article%3D1

I know different manufacturers that have sold to costco, and it is 11% across the board for them, though I'm sure there are some exceptions, they are not the norm.

Anyone else seeing challenges that are not in English?

What is "Premium Play"? TV?
