E3 2013: Pre-order the Xbox One, get an achievement

4.5
Earlier today, Microsoft announced that Xbox One. The price was set at $500, and many are worried and do not believe it is worth it. With this in mind, Microsoft have decided to throw in some extra rewards for people who preorder the new Xbox. Once you preorder the console, you automatically get a day one achievement when arriving on your Xbox. This is no word on how much gamerscore the achievement will be worth.

The other thing they are offering when you preorder is a limited edition Xbox One controller. We do not know what the controller looks like yet, but we will hear more news about it in a few weeks or so. The package also contains "Extra Care," basically extra packaging so your console is guaranteed to be in top condition.

Will these extra gems have an impact on preorder sales? We will found out soon.

Everyone is just hoping on the PS4 Bandwagon tonight. so what they have some stuff the Xbox One doesnt. The Xbox One will have stuff the PS4 wont either. If you owned a Xbox and Xbox360/Slim i highly doubt you will change to Sony that fast. This goes for Sony fans going to Microsoft. Another thing is that some of this stuff may change within the next 3 or 4 months

jstrout626 Why would anyone buy a console where if you don't connect it to the Internet once every 24 hours its abilities to play games are shutdown??????


Because most people are connected to the internet anyways, so it doesn't effect them. Plus it makes the xbox one more secure.


What if you go on vacation?

So if you dont preorder you dont get "ExtraCare" Sounds so much more interesting now...

What game is this achievement going to be under? Just general Xbox? $500 is a bit pricey but I thought it would be somewhere around $399 but this is a big step.

NYC I got an email with a picture of the controller.

Its basically a standard controller with the text "Day One 2013" printed in the middle.

That plus an achievement isn't worth it for me.


LOL I know right

I wouldn't pre-order. Last time around I got the first 360 and it died after a few months.
Wait til the problems get resolved.
