AfterSony revealed its big console discountsfor Black Friday 2017, it was only a matter of time until Microsoft followed suit. The company has now revealed massive savings on the Xbox One, letting shoppers buy the console for its cheapest-ever price.
From November 23rd to the 27th, the Xbox One S with a 500GB hard drive will be available for $189. Microsoft says that this is the “lowest price ever” for the console since its debut last year. This is in line with other Black Friday deals for the console (includingWalmart’s Black Friday discounts), and so shoppers will be hard-pressed to find the console at a lower price.
OtherXbox One Sbundles have had their prices cut for Black Friday 2017, too. From now until November 18th, shoppers can get an Xbox One S 500GB with an additional game for $249 total. Then, from November 19th to the 27th, shoppers can save $50 on any Xbox One S 500GB or 1TB bundle that’s available this holiday season.
Microsoft has also slashed the prices of some of the biggest Xbox One games.Forza Motorsport 7is $40, whileGears of War 4andHalo Wars 2are down to $20 each.Super Lucky’s Tale, Zoo Tycoon: Ultimate Animal Collection, andRush: A Disney Pixar Adventureand a few other “family friendly” games that have been discounted by 35% too.
Other discounts include:
Although this year’s Xbox Black Friday discounts don’t include a discount on the newXbox One Xconsole, which is the big must-have item this holiday season, these savings are still pretty good. The Xbox One S probably won’t be this cheap again for quite some time.
And although the Xbox One library of exclusives does pale in comparison to those of the PS4, this will improve substantially over the next few months.PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves, andState of Decay 2are all coming to the console, meaning that if Black Friday shoppers get an Xbox One now, they’ll be ready for those big games to drop.
