Cheaper always better I guess in eyes of the consumers but of course putting into Gamepass lost them a LOT of money.
Too many tiers, too confusing.

Well, let's do some math here.
$29.99 for the GPU, which includes Cod before the price cut.
$29.99 x 12 = $359.88 Old
$22.99 x 12 = $275.00 New (you save $84)
People are not using their offering to the fullest.
If I apply the $10 gift cards, which I can max out to $100.
$359.88 - $100.00= $259.88
$259.88 (Old with Cod with -$100 off) vs $275.00 New (without)
So you get more money back than if you bought a full-price CoD!
People cry too much because of their emotions

Fun fact. COD is still included with Game Pass. There is a narrative out there that future CODs are not included but that is false.
I feel like someone may have bright it up, in the past, but also I think it was mentioned on some podcast. As someone who’s locked in for two more years it’s kinda like “whatever”, that and I’ll buy gpu when it goes in sale or do the conversion (again when the membership is on sale) or use rewards to buy it straight from them.
It includes all future installments but 12 months after the release. But it’s still included.
How long do you have to wait for your Xbox pin code to reset after having multiple failed inputs?
Yeah and it’s asking for a password.
I thought my friends’ PIN code was one thing. But he changed it without me knowing it.
And he can’t remember his password.
Dang, he may just have to reset his password and send ya the info again
I hope we see more of it a the upcoming Xbox Showcase. But they seem to be focused on Gears of War: E-Day for XBOX/PC for that show.
RANT:
I really do hope that the next gen xbox goes for a more simplified naming system. Helix seems just fine to me. Avoid anything with an X or S suffix. Cause I was looking online ( read Reddit and retail forums) and the amount of idiocy/uninformed is staggering.
Swaths of people upset that a game or feature doesn't work for their xbox, only to find out that they have a One S or One X not a Series S/X and they didn't know the difference.
I think Sony realized consumers are dumb early and stuck with the simple numbering pattern for the PlayStation. Nintendo had to learn the hard way with the Wii and Wii U and have made clear definitive breaks in generations. Its time for Microsoft to do the same.

That was one of the points that was made earlier in the gen, that people would be mislead and not know what they are buying into.
