Stardate 1014211141:
When the news of the $50 price drop on Xbox One consoles and bundles for the holiday came out, my mind starting swimming with ideas. Maybe, despite the initial crash, I could end up getting an Xbox One as well.
I had a plan of action to get it the cheapest I could. First, order the white Sunset Overdrive bundle for store pick up from Best Buy. Since I had a week to pick it up, I could order it the Tuesday it released and pick it up the next Sunday, when the price dropped. Then, return and rebuy with the lower price, and apply my coupon and mover's coupon (that may have cost me a lot to acquire).
I ordered the Sunset Overdrive bundle on the Tuesday it was released, and resisted all my urges to go pick it up. Supposedly it was possible to get the adjustment even if it was open, but I didn't want to risk it. On Sunday, I went and did they whole return/rebuy. It took a bit, since they were busy, but there was no fighting, and the CS lady got it all taken care of. Well, except for scanning my reward zone card, but I could fix that later I was told.
While I'm very happy with my deal, I know it's not the best. The next Saturday, there was a few hour period where you could also get the free year of XBox Live. It had some trouble stacking with the mover's coupon, since that is for 1 item, but I have a few years stored up already. I'm happy that I got a good price, and the bundle I wanted. Now to enjoy the sun(set)!
There's still the issue of the ticket, but I haven't heard back since I disputed it, so we will see how that goes...
