Title: Dell Black Friday Xbox One Bundle
Post by: brickbatz on October 21, 2015, 07:50:40 AM

I mostly play games on my PC anymore. The Xbox 360 just sits there collecting dust. I'd like to get this for my gal. She wants one.

With 2 - AAA games, an extra controller and a headset this is a hell of a deal.

I don't know whether it's my age or a trend, but fewer of the folk I associate with now play computer games at all.  My Polish business partner likes GTA but confesses it's one off. He is 31, after all.

When I see affordable deals like that I am sorely tempted.

My gal wants one because she doesn't like to play games on the PC and some of the new titles will only be released on the new consoles (and PC). I like the idea that you can stream your Xbox One games to your Windows 10 PC. When she's watching TV I can still play Xbox One games.

I just bought a little box called the Steam Link (http://store.steampowered.com/universe/link/). It lets you play your PC games on your TV.

She's 55 and I'm 68. None of our friends play video games but her son and my daughter and grandson do. I just friended a buddy's grandson on Steam.

I hope to snatch one. The Xbox One alone is presently going for $349.99 USD.

I think both my kids would gladly sell their souls for an Xbox.

Furtunately/unfortunately (for them) I drive a hard bargain and base all large "gifts" on academic results.

I may well live to regret that deal.

I tried to buy one at 6 PM sharp and they weren't available. Bait and switch. Damn Dell. >:(
