Xbox One is apparently pulling out all the stops when it comes to Holiday bundles this year. The company announced earlier this week it would be unveiling its offerings, which go on sale in October. One bundle  bundle that has already been revealed is very Tomb Raider-centric. Another bundle just announced comes with what could be thought of as a ton of games, across a rather wide range of genres.

Carrying a price tag of $399, the bundle was announced on Major Nelson’s main site. It comes complete with a 1TB Xbox One, as well as the Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, Ori & The Blind Forest, and a digital code of the Gears of War collection on the Xbox 360. But wait … there’s more. The bundle also comes with the Rare Replay. This is a package of 30 different games that were all developed by Rare. In short, this particular bundle is certainly worth the price, should you happen to be a fan of most of these games.

Granted, this bundle could also be called the “remastered bundle” considering the content, but it’s still an interesting offer to basically get the larger hard drive version of the Xbox One alone with more than 30 games. The bundle also includes the souped up Xbox One wireless controller with 3.5mm headset jack. This is actually the second of  three Xbox One Holiday bundles announced and the third one will be unveiled tomorrow. This particular Xbox One Holiday bundle is set to launch on October 28, 2015 and will carry an MSRP of $399.

The Xbox One already has a fair few attractive bundles going into the holiday season, but it looks like there will be more coming- Microsoft is teasing new bundles to be revealed some time next week, and speculation is running rampant on just what these bundles might be.

Right now, the consensus seems to be that Microsoft will double down on its biggest holiday titles – exclusive and multiplatform – and bundle those with the system to appeal to holiday season consumers. As a result, bundles for Rise of the Tomb Raider and Fallout 4 are suspected. That said, the teaser image, which you can see above, seems to hint at a total of four new bundles coming, so there may be more than just those two. We’ll see what it turns out to be- maybe a global bundle with FIFA 16?

Stay tuned to GamingBolt, and we will keep you posted on whatever these new bundles do turn out to be.

Less than two days before its launch, the recent Xbox One bundle from Microsoft which will include Respawn Entertainment’s Titanfall and retails for £369.97 is already sold out at GameStop UK. The bundle was announced by Microsoft for the UK at £399.99 but GameStop decided to further slash the price.

The bundle has since managed to sell out in less than a day at GameStop UK, though other retailers like GAME UK and Amazon UK – who are selling it at £399.99 – still have it in stock. Along with Titanfall and the console, the bundle includes an Xbox One controller, Kinect, a one month subscription to Xbox Live Gold, a wireless chat headset and more.

Microsoft has unfortunately stated that the bundle won’t be available outside of the UK. This means the rest of us will need to pay the regular $499 price along with purchasing Titanfall separately. Stay tuned for updates though, in case Microsoft changes it mind.

After it was initially rumoured, the Xbox One will be getting a price cut in the UK. Best of all? It will retail for £399.99 from March 14th onwards with a download code for Titanfall included in the box. The bundle will also include a controller, Kinect, a chat headset, the console and a month’s subscription to Xbox Live Gold.

Xbox UK confirmed the same on Twitter. “There’s never been a better time to #JumpAhead – from 28.02 pick up an #XboxOne in the UK for £399.99.”

Harvey Eagle, Marketing Director for Xbox UK also stated that, “At Xbox, we believe there’s never been a better time to join the new console generation. To help our fans do just that, Xbox One will be available at the new UK estimated retail price (ERP) of £399.99 from February 28th. And while supplies last, fans will also get Titanfall – the most anticipated game of the year – included in the box.”

It’s important to note that the bundle won’t be available outside the UK. As Eagle stated to OXM, “My responsibility is only for the UK so I can only talk about our territory. This is about offering the best value to UK gamers, and as a result we’re announcing this new price point of £399. There’s no announcements in other countries planned, so it’s a UK-only adjustment and we feel this is the right thing to do in our market.

“The timing of this is very much around Titanfall. It’s about value rather than price. People buy a console to play the best games, the best games coming this year include Titanfall, and Destiny, and Watch Digs, and if you want to play all three of those you’re going to need an Xbox One. And as we said in the announcement today from the 14th March customers are also going to get a copy of Titanfall included when they get an Xbox One, we think that’s really good value.”

What are your thoughts on the bundle? Let us know in the comments.

Did you happen to purchase Media Molecule’s critically acclaimed Tearaway for the PS Vita from online retail Zavvi and pick up a free handheld by mistake? Well great news! You’re obligated to return the handheld or face legal action according to a legal letter sent by the retailer to consumers. This happened when consumers purchased the game and purchased the bundle which contains both the game and the Vita.

Zavvi’s letter reads, “We are very sorry to inform you that due to an error in our warehouse we have dispatched the incorrect product. We are contacting you in order for us to arrange a collection of the incorrect item which is on the way to you. If possible, please keep the parcel in its original packaging ready to hand back to the courier.”

Some users aren’t buying it though and questioning Zavvi’s threats. According to one user, “The Distance Selling Regulations are very clear on this. If you’ve been sent unsolicited goods, you are entitled to treat them as an unconditional gift and do with them as you choose. You are not required to keep them for any amount of time and you are certainly not required to pay for them. Any attempt to demand payment (by threatening means or otherwise) is unlawful.”

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds will feature the familiar top-down perspective of SNES and NES Zelda games, but with an added twist in that Link can now access essential inventory from the beginning. This allows you to tackle the game’s dungeons in any order you wish, rather than following a pre-determined path as has become typical of the series.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds releases on November 22nd in North America and Europe, with a Japanese release date set for December 26th.

This is only for France, with no official bundle announced for either the UK or US, but it seems logical that Sony will bring the same package out for these territories. Killzone: Shadow Fall is arguably the most recognizable first party franchise that the publisher has at launch, and should help boost sales of the console.

The PlayStation 4 is scheduled to release on November 15th in the United States and will launch across Europe on November 29th. Killzone: Shadow Fall will be on the launch titles, along with DriveClub, Knack, Battlefield 4 and more.

The PlayStation Vita, despite not selling that well around the world, has been on a bit of an upswing after Sony announced that it could be used with the PlayStation 4 for remote play. This means you could take your PS4 games anywhere you want, playing them on the Vita. Sony had also confirmed that all PS4 games, except those which required the PS Eye, would support Remote Play.

Would it be possible that Sony would push for this feature so soon, not waiting to see what consumers take to most with the new console? As nifty Remote Play sounds, we’re not quite sure it’s the reason for the excessive demand for the next-gen console.

Also consider that the Vita currently retails for $249.99 while the PS4 will cost $399.99. Does it really make sense to have a bundle for around $500? As usual, take this with a grain of salt, but it would be interesting to see such a bundle in the future.

Twisted Pixel Games is offering almost a 80% discount bundle on Xbox Live Arcade. For those who missed out on Splosion Man, Ms Splosion Man (Sequel to Splosion Man), Comic Jumper and The Maw can now pick up the discounted bundle for 800 Microsoft Points

Comic Jumper alone costs 1200 Microsoft Points and the other titles cost 800 Microsoft Points each. However, thanks to the discounted bundle you can now play all the game just for 800 Microsoft Points alone.

Here is some gameplay footage of Ms Splosion Man for those who missed out or never seen it.

Oh Sony, have you learned nothing from your wonky commercials?

Nonetheless, Aveline looks great here, and at the very least it gets the point across. You’ll be able to purchase a bundle with the Playstation Vita that contains Assassin’s Creed 3: Liberation as well. Considering it’s exclusivity, releasing on the same day with Assassin’s Creed 3 and being a part of the biggest marketing campaign Ubisoft has ever organized, it’s fair to say this is a good strategy.

But seriously, assassins on trains, Sony? Sigh. Check out the not very offensive but still slightly uncomfortable commercial above.
