Oh wow...just noticed that when I redeemed my code for Sunset Overdrive from the bundle, Microsoft sent me an XBL message. In the message was a code that gave me Ryse: Son of Rome for free. I already had played through the game and finished it, but that's still cool. Unexpected free games are always nice.

They even typed out the actual code and said "If you already have the game, give the code to a friend"

Wha? I didn't get any such thing

I bought the bundle too.

I just found out if you have a 250gb ps3 you get $100 plus a $50 credit toward a Xbox one. Too bad mine is only 160gb.

I could also wait until the 8th and get a console with live free for a year but I probably won't be playing online much with the one. Is it legal to sell the unity and black flag codes?

Damn I really want that white console.

Yea I'm not worried about psn plus or live. Black Friday deals on Amazon I'll be able to renew my psn plus and get live too.

Yea a lot of people didn't get one either. It seems to be random. I'm going to call best buy and ask them how I can order the SO bundle because they told me I can order it online and have it come to the store. I tried but the site won't let me.

I haven't confirmed it, but I saw something about Best Buy including a free year of Live if you buy an Xbox One this Saturday from 1pm-4pm. With the Unity bundle, that's two games, a year of Live, and the console for $350. I think I'm on that.

That same source said Target is doing a buy two games get one free deal next week.

Yea its true I saw it in their site. I may as well get the regular Xbox with live since I dont care for unity. I could try selling both codes but I'm not sure who would want them.

Going to trade in my ps3 Thursday and keep the gift card until Saturday and I hope they don't run out. But to play it I'll have to wait until Tuesday to get some games. I hope mmc doesn't run out at target.

I really wanted the stupid SO bundle.

Well, you get the coupon with any PS3 trade. Is yours the Slim 160-GB PS3? That's showing up as $100 in trade credit on their site as well, same as the 250-GB model.

I've seen nothing about the Best Buy LIVE deal, but the Target deal has been known for some time now.

Why would you do that? The plain console and the Assassin's Creed bundle are the same price. I mean... you could just give away the code if you really wanted to, and there's no difference to you! (...except maybe that warm and fuzzy feeling inside. )

Well yea I could. But it will depend what the closest best buy near me has in stock. Also, is the $50 coupon toward another console valid for any ps3 or just the 250gb version? Mine is 160gb. I hope they take my wonky controller too.

Any trade will get you the coupon, and like I mentioned, Best buy lists the 160-GB PS3 as having a $100 TiV. They don't test it whatsoever (at least, mine didn't), and some stores don't even require a controller for the trade (mine did). My brother-in-law just turned in his 4-GB Slim 360 for the CoD console tonight, and he got the coupon.

That's great. I'll go and do this Thursday when I'm free and I'll make sure to remind them about the coupon. Many times I go in there and they are clueless. Going to save that gift card and coupon for Saturday and pick up an xb1 with live. I'll have two gift cards, the coupon, and a reward certificate. I should be able to walk out of there with a console for $197.

I was in the first beta, nothing to write home about. At this rate, the game will probably drop to $29.99 in 3 months after release.

Yeah, I just got a code today. I'm about to try it out myself. I trust nothing NeoGaf says, but I am generally down on this game, given the multiple delays and the releasing titles this holiday season.

I just tried it, mediocre as hell. The only impressive thing is the size of the map imo

Actually I'll repeat what Neogaf has been saying, avoid the Crew.

Just spent some time in second beta, nothing has really changed, the cars drive like crap and the graphics for next gen is horrible (played on XB1).

Traded in my ps3 with controller for $110 and they also gave me the $50 coupon toward an Xbox one. I also have a gift card at home for $10 and a $10 reward certificate. Then I got an email about the shopping event this Saturday and also telling me to print out my mystery reward certificates. Gonna print those and get the one on Saturday. I hope it goes towards the bundles too. I might make out like a bandit if those mystery reward zone tickets give me anything.

Hope I can get one of the bundles with live free this Saturday.

Yeah, I just played through a few of the main missions. The cars feel really awkward (might be because assists are on). It's like the developers couldn't decide if they wanted cars to be super-slick on the road, like in NFS, or if they wanted there to be some level of realism, like in Horizon 2. As such, the driving feels inconsistent, as it can flip between having no grip and a lot of grip pretty easily, and once you lose grip, you have to get way slowed down to get it back (to a greater extent than even in Forza Motorsport, IMO).

Honestly, the best way I can interpret my feelings is that they got some devs without a lot of racing game experience OR a lot of real-world car knowledge, so everything feels a bit off, both from the sim and the arcade sides. It all feels uneven and awkward, and I don't care for it.

Holy, you'll practically be stealing an XB1 with all that.

@Lil Frier, have you played Watch Dogs? The cars drive just like those in that game.

Yea but I won't have any games until Tuesday from target. I'm either getting the unity bundle and selling both codes here or a regular Xbox without Kinect.

I suppose, somewhat. It would also make sense, given that both are Ubisoft titles. Maybe the team from The Crew worked on Watch Dogs' driving physics, haha. Basically, it's getter than GTA driving by a long shot, but it's terrible for a title in a racing genre.

Are you not getting GCU at Best Buy? The buy 1, get 1 40% off at Toys R Us is the exact same thing as buying 2 games with GCU...except you don't HAVE to buy 2 games.

Just an example:

TRU: $60 Halo + 40% off Horizon 2 ($60 * .6 = $36) = $96
BB w/GCU: 20% off Halo + $60 Horizon 2 (both $60 * .8 = $48) = $96
