    Xbox One “Titanfall” Special Edition Bundle arriving on March 11

    titanfall-xbox-oneThere comes a point in time when everyone starts to look forward to a particular game which might just be a defining moment in a console’s life, and I would suppose that Titanfall would be one of such titles on the next generation Xbox One console. Titanfall was first revealed at E3 2013, and it has since grown to be one of the more highly anticipated games in the new generation of consoles. In fact, Titanfall has already picked up over 80 awards from critics worldwide, where the game itself has been specially described to be “a brave new vision of the future of multiplayer games”, “the first real next-gen shooter” and “the most addictive game ever.”

    Hopefully, with such an incredible amount of pressure riding on this title in order to make it a success on the Xbox One platform, it will be able to deliver when the crunch time comes. In fact, to celebrate the launch of Titanfall, it seems that Xbox One fans will be in for a treat. As part of an encouragement for more of your mates to join in on day one of the game’s launch itself, it is set to arrive in the form of the Xbox One Titanfall Bundle. This unique bundle will be made available from March 11 onward over at select retailers, where it will be selling for $499.99 a pop.

    You can definitely place a pre-order if you are interested, and just to make sure you know what you are getting into, this particular bundle will include a download code for a digital copy of Titanfall, a standard Xbox One console with a Kinect sensor, a single Xbox One wireless controller which will be accompanied by a chat headset, in addition to a single month’s worth of Xbox Live Gold membership. Any interested parties so far?
