Xbox One drops to $349 on November 2nd; bundles too

Microsoft really, really wants you to buy an Xbox One this Holiday season. This morning, they announced a temporary $50 price drop of sorts on nearly all the upcoming SKUs including the Sunset Overdrive bundle, Assassin’s Creed Unity bundle and the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare bundle.

In other words you can get an Xbox One console, plus either Sunset Overdrive or Assassin’s Creed Unity for $349.99, down from $399.  Those who want the 1TB custom Xbox One and controller along with Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare can score it for $449.99 down from $499.

That’s some pretty crazy pricing right there, and it’ll start on November 2nd and run through January 3, 2015.  So yeah, it’s really not that temporary…
