Oh and I'm keeping it in case it becomes rare and I can sell it for $100+

New XBox One Experience info, including the preview before launch -
http://news.xbox.com/2015/09/xbox-on...update-preview
http://news.xbox.com/2015/09/xbox-on...update-preview
Here’s how it will work over the next couple of weeks:
We will roll this update out over time to Preview members who opt in for it. We’ll start with a set of Preview members who have historically submitted the most feedback - it will not roll out to everyone at the same time. Our goal is to start with a group, get feedback, then roll out to larger groups for additional feedback over time.
If you’re a member of the Xbox One Preview Program, you will get an invitation sent to you in an Xbox Live message.
From the invitation launch the Xbox Preview Dashboard and select the registration option.
You can then opt-in by selecting “Preview – New Xbox One Experience”.
If you choose not to participate in this update (you just leave your registration as preview), you will continue to receive “regular” Preview Program updates going forward. This will not remove you from the Xbox Preview Program.
New builds will regularly roll out over a period of several weeks to those who opt in, and our engineering team will work to improve the features and fix any bugs they identify throughout the preview testing.

Picked up one of these yesterday at Best Buy. I didn't go to pick it up until early evening (since I had put down a preorder deposit, I knew they would have one for me), and I saw two different people in the parking lot who had just bought one and were carrying it to their cars. So it was kind of odd that at 7pm they sold 3 within 5 minutes. Anyway, haven't opened mine yet. Since most of the stores near me still have them in stock, I'm thinking of waiting through my return period to see if BBY offers any kind of console deal over the next few weeks ($50 GC, free game, etc.) - I'll do a return/rebuy.

Thought about it, but I'll pass. Realistically, I wouldn't get to play it for quite awhile, all things considered.

Amazon has Metro Redux for $14.99 (still $19.99 on PS4 so I didn't post in the deals thread).

Also, as far as return and rebuy, couldn't you just mention you bought it xx days ago (45 if you're Elite Plus) and then have them adjust it that way?

Welp, it was Gamestop...and the game was a pack-in on a digital download card. After posting in the exchange forum, I decided to try my luck on Ebay after all. So far so good...have a bunch of watchers and one bid already. Depending on how much I get, I might just spring for another blue controller rather than any other games right now (I have enough to keep me busy). That controller is like a dream, I swear.

Very nice on the Xbox One front (can't tell you how many times I've almost bought Walking Dead Season 1). The 360 front...a little bit of a meh only because I play both consoles. It's completely useless since Walking Dead for the Xbox One is being offered at the same time and Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeroes was a previous month's Xbox One release. But I need far more games for my new system than old, so this is positive for sure.

Batman Under the Red Hood movie is a free rental this weekend. I claimed it and paused it, and now it expires in 47 hours, which probably means I won't watch it in time. I wonder if the web interface might have allowed a "purchase" but not started the window yet, offering a little more time to fit it into my schedule.

Tomb Raider bundle, to no one's surprise. $399 for 1 TB, and both Tomb Raider games.
