Xbox One promo offers $75 voucher for 360 upgraders

4.4
Microsoft is offering $75 in online credit to encourage certain US Xbox 360 owners to upgrade to Xbox One.

The deal was spotted by NeoGAF user BeforeU, who posted images of a promotion appearing on the Xbox 360 dashboard. It offers a $75 promotional code with the purchase of an Xbox One system or bundle from a Microsoft Store or "local retailer".

According to the fine print, the offer is only applicable to Xbox Live account holders who receive the notification on their Xbox 360 console, and only in the US. The promotion lasts through the end of July.

This credit can be used to purchase games, add-on content, or any other items available via the Xbox marketplace, meaning customers who make use of the deal can download their first full-priced game for free with some credit to spare.

Microsoft says that Xbox One's July update, which adds Snap functionality to the achievements app, will arrive "in the coming days".

Its about time they (Theoretically) Lowered the price of this console.

Hate Xbox One anyway so I don't care HAH

Wouldn't bother buying the Xbox One there's no decent games out yet. Just hang fire until better titles come out and by then the One should be cheaper.

R3vo My 360 is worth more than a Xbox One. If Microsoft wants me to ever buy that crap console again then they better pay me.


I agree. Xbox One is not worth that amount of money at all.

Int I upgraded to a pc, I love it and will never go back to console.


No one cares. Why would you go onto an Xbox article JUST to say that. No one gives a f*ck that PC is better. A lot of us prefer console gaming over PC. It feels a lot better.


I was thinking the exact same thing sir.

& don't worry, this is like my 3rd news article comment so I'm not spamming for a badge.

My local store would buy my 360 for 120 store credit and they sell xbones for 335 so this deal would be irrelevent to me were it available in Northern ireland.

Miss They should just take off $75 off the Xbox One. That would make me more motivated to buy it honestly. $325 for an Xbox One.


Yeah true, but i think they will do this but not any time soon.


Agreed, that is what I wanted but I guess it is different.
$75 in marketplace credit will not do much for me. 1 game and something else?

KevinG So $75 off a xbox one if you ditch the well engineered 360 to the xbox one eighty?


Nope, just $75 credit for your account so you can buy stuff on the marketplace.


I was thinking you would take a 360 console into a gamestop or something and get $75 off a xbox one which is what I would really want.
