Not advocating either way, but MCC is on sale for $45 on Amazon

As long as you're in the Xbox One neighborhood, I also recommend looking at:

• Sunset Overdrive: Launch trailer. Well-respected developer with a couple decades of stuff under their belts. You can get this one for ten bucks on Amazon.
  
  
• Forza Horizon 2: E3 trailer. I generally don't like racing games, but this one is slick, easy to get into, and is set in an open-world environment that I just like driving around in. Horizon 3 is coming out in a few months. Free demo downloadable here. If you like it, Amazon has it on sale for $35. If you have a GCU account with Best Buy, they will price match Amazon, where it's currently marked down to $35, and bring the price down to $28. This only works with physical copies. XB1 also has Forza 5 and 6, which are more traditional racing games.
  
  
• Then there's the Master Chief Collection, which lets you play Halo 1 through 4 (but not Reach). The first two games have been remastered. It's pretty cool. Multiplayer was pretty buggy at first, and by the time it got fixed, most people had moved on to other things. But the single-player campaigns are a fun ride. Launch trailer.
  
  I personally feel that the PS4 has a better selection of games overall, but if you're ready to try an Xbox, there are some worthy reasons to do so. The console also has support for HBO Now, while the PS4 does not. You can buy the Xbox One S next month, which is a revised version of the console, but it costs $400. There are cheaper versions coming (less storage) but not until December. You you can get a bundle with the regular version now.

It's the same price on Amazon.

Uhhhh, what? I have seen TONS of deals on all those games, amazon has had deals already on Forza Horizons 2 for $30, Advanced Warfare for $40, AC Unity for $30, and MCC for $45. I've also seen those games being listed for deals at Walmart and Best Buy.
FH2 for $34:

FWIW, Amazon also has them for $39.99 (Forza Horizon 2) and $38.99 (Halo MCC). The Forza is sold out at that price, but you can still order and they'll ship it when it's in stock (which I'd imagine will be soon).

$35

I say it is worth it for the campaigns.

Also, if you insist on downloading it digitally. Amazon is selling download codes for $40 (http://www.amazon.com/Halo-Master-Chief-Collection-Xbox-One/dp/B00KSQHX1K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1451538356&sr=8-1&keywords=halo+mcc).

Note the Amazon code is US only in case you are international.

I appear to understand that very well. I'm well versed in latency and the video games.

• If you think that you should have a 10 second chance to live against someone who saw you first, aimed and started firing before you....you are playing the wrong game.
  
  
• Halo is actually really great for that.
  
  
• They just released the anniversary edition, my little sister said. Try that one!

If you live in the U.S. then here you go.

If you live close to a best buy then have them price match these.

All six of OPs games were new releases.

Assassin's Creed: Unity - Huh, Amazon discounted this one for some reason though. Save $10.10.

Grand Theft Auto V - Save $0.03! Wow, what a deal.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - Save a whole $3.16!

Far Cry 4 - Exact same Price

Halo: The Master Chief Collection - Save another $0.03!

Sunset Overdrive Even better! Save a whole $0.96!

New releases are priced the same in the US. Old games, yeah, I agree it gets ridiculous. But, new releases are the same - with a few exceptions here and there depending on retailer incentives (like AC:U above).

I'm not getting ripped off by paying $0.03 more for Halo or AC:U. I paid the same price you did.

No...oh man, no. Far from it, it's the Master Chief Collection which will include all 4 Halo's and over 100 MP maps for Xbox One.

EDIT: Check it out

It's halo 1 2 3 & 4 remastered for the xbox one and I'm pretty sure it comes with a halo 5 beta invite.

I'm not sure what to say. However, I did check Amazon for the sake of it. It is currently under $30 there. See for yourself.
