Xbox One Microsoft offers $100 Xbox One discount for ditching PS3

heavensdevil said:
Actually Microsoft is offering $100 for both Xbox 360 and PS3 trade-ins as a part of its recycle program. It's being blown a bit because of sites' selective reporting of focusing on Microsoft accepting PS3 trade-ins and not the entire news. It's only low when Microsoft is only accepting PS3 trade-ins so I take back my initial comment.

Now that's different, the issue being sensationalist media instead of what Microsoft is doing. Sometimes I forget that journalism is a joke.

Recycle program? Don't you think microsoft is being really low making these offers. PS3 is a good console.

Ahhh.. that's the deal. STILL..... doesn't entice me to buy the Xbox One. So what if it's $100? I'm still keeping my PS3. I'll earn that $100 through hardwork in my work. So nope, MSFT, keep that $100.

Yup, MSFT can keep that $100. PS3 is still with me no matter what. nada, nada, nada. I'm not going to say bad stuff about MSFT but you know, it's just not a good deal for me,.
 
Same response: no. PS3 still stays with me. That $100 isn't gonna give me a reason to sell the PS3.

Same here. This just shows how Microsoft wants to dominate the competition. They want to get everyone on Xbox One. I have Xbox One, but I don't think it's a good move for them to advertise things like this. I wonder what Sony thinks now?

Sony offering $200 on X1 for PS4 trade in lol j k jk
 
So basically they are trying to equal out the price difference? I wonder if anyone will take them up on this. Also, I wonder what they're going to do with the PS3...I imagine set them on fire in some sort of Microsoft ritual to appeal to the Almighty Bill Gates to help sales.

Well if it isn't the man who disappeared once he got hi XB1! LOL I actually thought you were serious when I saw your post, I wouldn't put it passed them if it wasn't for the fact that they're already outselling Microsoft.

Not really low when you think about it. It's just a marketing strategy to sell their Xbox One. Many companies do the same thing. For example, car companies offer higher trade in value or lower interest rates to attract car buyers. They also accept various car makes and not just their car brand but we never thought that it was a cheap move.

That'd be kind of creepy. That reminds me of all other weird cults in the world. But yeah, that makes me wonder what they'll do with the other PS3. Will they wreck it up? Sell it to others? Hehehehe. We'll never know.

That's the funny part to me, the recycle program only evens out the price.

Well most companies do it but they shouldn't be that obvious.

Haha, nice one. Yeah, makes us wonder what they'll do to the PS3s they've collected.

Same here, There's no freaking way that I will ditch my PS3 just to get Xbox One. Well I have Xbox One, just a thought.

Hahjahaha. Whoa stay cool man. Maybe you're the one making this cult! And my thoughts on the topic: nope. I'm not selling my PS3 for this. There are other ways to get the XB1 and this is not the way to do it for me.

Haha, He's really into the cult stuff. Well I don't think anyone would want to ditch PS3 to get a Xbox One.

yeah, I know, but well I guess he has a point, most of the employees are still used to Bill Gates. I guess with the new CEO in command new things will come for microsoft.
