It's not, I got an email about it. You just need to be a member of the XBox Rewards program, which I believe people need to sign up for separately.

Cool, would not be the first time they have no idea what they are talking about. Good to know, for sure then will get the Rare Collection this way.

Well they just added this game to their $10 Reward Certificate with Pre-order promotion. That makes it $22 net with GCU. At that price, it might actually be worth a revisit.

Also currently there's a glitch and they're selling The Witcher III (Xbox One) for $24.99 ($19.99 with GCU ). Should be corrected soon so hurry.
Nm. Already fixed. Sorry.

Definitely will get it now with GCU, and get the Rare Collection from Microsoft store with Rewards Zone member bonus. That basically leaves Halo and Star Wars for the remainder of the year and any great BF deals for me.

Need more details. They're going to have to offer some major incentives to take my business back from Best Buy.

Yeah, I'll keep going with the 20% off from GCU at Best Buy which comes out to $12 off new releases, plus (usually) a $10 RZ certificate on top of that.

Margins on hardware are slim to none, why would there be discounts on hardware? Oh, wait, are you talking hardware as in consoles in as in peripherals?

I liked it a lot. I obsessed w/ the sailing and pirating. It's not ACII cuz ACII is that goddamn good. But it's solid. Never played III but I hear that one sucked.

Yeah, the blurb from Amazon mentions "accessories," and I assumed that meant some form of hardware.

imo, it's the best entry in the franchise and a great standalone game on top of that.

Plus it's real pretty.
