Right now, it makes absolutely no sense to purchase a new Xbox One without also getting a game on the side. It’s Microsoft’s plan to catch the console up with Sony’s PS4, and every month or so it works. So I guess we should thank Sony for this latest update to the Xbox One bundles.<\/p>\n

\"White<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s the same white Xbox One Microsoft bundled with\u00a0Sunset Overdrive\u00a0<\/em>when that game came out. Now, once it hits retailers at the end of this month, it’s bundled with\u00a0Halo: The Master Chief Collection<\/em>, another product in desperate need of marketing shenanigans. There’s always an incentive to bolster the online population of a game that failed to function over the internet months into its release. The game and the console together, which doesn’t ship with the Kinect camera, will cost $350, similarly to past bundles and equal to the standard console also without a Kinect.<\/p>\n

The news comes directly from Xbox Wire<\/a>, the least biased news delivery service on the internet. Microsoft didn’t put out any strict release date on the bundle. They did make sure to mention the fact that it’s going to be an extremely limited release, just one shipment and then the glory is over. Until another game needs a boost. Or maybe when Microsoft just wants to get our attention again. Hell, \u00a0let’s just assume they’ll emerge a green console bundled with\u00a0Halo 5<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As pretty and life-affirming as that white Xbox One looks, there are actually a number of swell Xbox One deals featured through Ben’ Bargains, including those of the Master Chief and\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/em> variety.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately you won’t find a white Xbox One bundle through that link until, perhaps, later this month. You should keep checking back as often as humanly possible. You never know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
