Halo: Master Chief Collection Xbox One Bundle Announced
Offers console and game for £349 / $349. Luke KarmaliMicrosoft has revealed a new Xbox One bundle featuring its latest console and Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
Available later this month, the new Xbox One: Master Chief Collection bundle costs £349 / $349 and includes Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo 3 and Halo 4.
The new bundle marks the latest time the console's value has been re-evaluated. Originally costing $499, this was later dropped to $399 before a $50 holiday price drop in the US was announced last October. This caused Xbox One sales to triple, though the price of an Xbox One went back up to $399 after the holiday season. This was then reversed, with the console costing $349 again, and now it seems the company has decided to add one (or four) free games into the mix too.
At long last, the week just gone saw Halo: MCC developer 343 Industries roll out a massive patch designed to improve matchmaking performance. The studio originally said it would opt for MCC beta testing due to "the scale of the update" and "to ensure the official release is the best possible experience for all players." This was later rethought.
The developer has rolled out numerous content updates to address the ongoing issues that have plagued the title since its launch last November. Be sure to check out our opinion piece that takes a look at the launch issues with Halo MCC and other AAA titles from 2014.
