Can't wait to see the Black Friday bundles that the retailers are going to make with the price drop.
I think I will finally be picking up a XBOne for Forza5+ForzaHorizon2+Halo1-4 Master Chief collection.

Never played any of the HALOs really, always been a nintendo/ps guy. Really tempted to get the Master Chief collection.

Personally I think the Halo series is vastly overrated but I did enjoy Halo: Reach. Played that co-op with Magnum and others. That was fun. But I didn't really care for any of the others.

The first game was good. I love the intro scene escaping the ship. For the time, it was pretty different, being so cinematic. Pretty dated now though, don't think I'd enjoy it. I wonder if the PS4 will go on sale? I think my son wants one of those. I'll probably get the X1 when Rainbow Six comes out.

I'd expect that Sony will join the price war, already there's been frequent deals of PS4 for $359 so I'm sure a similar price drop will come.
I never played the Halo series since I joined the console world at the sunset of the XB360, but I always heard great things about it and if these get the HD treatment I'd love to finally play them.

I've been told some interesting black friday deals from game stop,
I'm actually looking for a 2nd job now due to personal events and stuff, so I might walk across the street from my main job to Game stop and see if they are hiring, lol.

That COD:AW special bundle is a bit more expensive because of the 1TB drive instead of 500GB like the normal XBOne and PS4.
I upgraded the drive in my PS4 to a 1GB for about $70 which is easy to do compared to the XBOne which is not as easy to upgrade unless you add an external drive, so that bundle seems like a good deal taking into account the larger drive if you also want COD:AW.

thanks for pointing that out, I didn't even see that drive difference. No problem, I was actually hoping they would have all the new bundles come with 1TB, but they probably aren't making a big deal of it on this one because the other bundles are still 500GB.

500 GB isnt much now a days. I picked up a WD external for 100 USD with 3TB and hooked it up to my Xbox One. Works great.

Yeah, Storing the Games/Profiles on an External is prolly the best idea. Less hassle if/when the System Fails.

I store my XBL/PSN+ game profiles online now just to avoid losing it when devices die.

Best Buy had a pricing mistake in their Sunday ad and so I was able to pickup a XBOne Kinect Assassins Creed Bundle for $349 which is the price of the non-Kinect one after a bit of convincing the store manager.
Downloaded the Forza Horizon 2 demo and love it, can't wait for Tue, Target is having a buy 2 get one free games sale so will be picking up FH2 + Halo MCC + ?
Not sure what I should pickup as my third (free) game, will have to see if anything else looks interesting on XBOne or PS4 (really leaning towards Sunset Overdrive though).
Man this is going to be a great month, with the XBOne exclusives I've been waiting to play plus ACUnity which came in the bundle, plus Target is going to offer $30 trade in on my GTA5 XB360 version when buying the PS4/XBOne version, so I will have GTA5 for the PS4 too in another week, tons of good nextgen console fun to last for many months.
