Xbox One Titanfall Bundle on Sale for $450

Walmart has cut the Xbox One Titanfall bundle price from $500 to $450 in a special sale.

The site will send buyers through "about 10 different hoops" including adding the bundle to cart before seeing the special sale price, but the $450 price is revealed right before checkout, a Forbes contributor reported on Friday.

Walmart has stayed mysterious on the console's page, simply saying "add to cart to see our special price." No word on how long the sale will last or how many bundles are in stock. 

The package includes the Xbox One console and accoutrements as well as a 1-month Xbox Live Gold membership and the Titanfall game, a title that Microsoft hopes will boost sales.

"'Titanfall' is an incredibly important game and it's coming at an important time," said Yusuf Mehdi, head of marketing and strategy for Microsoft's Xbox group, as quoted by The Wall Street Journal.

Microsoft hopes "Titanfall," which launched earlier this month, can become the Xbox One's signature, console-selling title.

Sony and Microsoft both launched new consoles around the same time, and the Xbox One has fallen behind Sony's new PlayStation 4.

In mid-February, Sony said its new console had sold twice as many as the Xbox One.

Titanfall, which Microsoft has been marketing since last June, has a first-person perspective and takes users through an urban battlefield. Players in the game direct "Titans," which are machines similar to robots that can be programmed to fight.

A British retailer that cut the Xbox One's price by $100 to match the PlayStation 4 last week sold out of the console.

While the slashed price didn't come from Microsoft, the sale was still the first example of the two consoles being available for the same price, according to GameSpot.
