Microsoft offering 100$ off xbone when you trade in PS3....

[ak22]

New tactic to sway people away from Sony......

For a limited time, bring in your PS3, Xbox 360 S or Xbox 360 E and receive $100 of Microsoft retail store credit.

first of all it's not $100 off, it's $100 of store credit.

Secondly I imagine that is USA only.

Thirdly, I sold my PS3 for £100 in cash which is a far better deal than $100 of store credit to buy overpriced digital content with.

Bad deal is extremely bad

Desperate

 

[Suarez7]

Why not just sell your PS3 for £100 which makes a PS4 £250.

As above this screams desperation to me.

Well of course its us only .... I posted this to show how desperate Microsoft seem... and you can't compare £100 to $100 when this is US only offer..

I'm going to imagine by store credit it actually means $100 of credit in the store that you took your old console into to use against the purchase of an Xbox One.
It's $100 of Microsoft Retail Store credit, not $100 of Marketplace credit.

 

[Psycho Sonny]

Even still it's only valid in MS stores or something along those lines.

Still doesn't make it a great deal, as you could sell the console for $100 in cash easy enough I imagine. I wonder if they test them? Could get loads of people trading in knackered consoles which would be funny.

The consoles are for recycling so doesn't matter if they are knackered I presume, as long as all the parts are intact.

Edit: nvm above says it must be fully functional.

Are you seriously implying that it was made with the intention of convincing people it was from Sony themselves?

Not butt hurt, just growing tired of the childish attitude that seems 'cool' at the moment to hate on MS.

It's also funny how pull people on it and you instantly get people turning on you too. Everyone seems to have lost their heads this generation.

No different to last generation except it was the other way around.
