The hunt is on for Black Friday 2015 shoppers looking to score the best Xbox One deals out there. It appears that the cheapest Xbox console come November 27 will be found on Target for as low as $239 while Microsoft will offer game downloads with up to 60% discount.
Gamers looking to take home a brand new Xbox One machine following the Thanksgiving Day celebration with as little cash damage as possible should head to Target, which according to Tech Times offers the lowest price of the console bundled with a popular game title.
Compared with Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop and Walmart, Target's Xbox One Gears Of War: Ultimate Edition bundle with 500GB of internal storage is the most tempting at the moment thanks to a $60 gift card.
The Xbox One bundle for Black Friday 2015 starts at $299 or $50 less from the original price but retailers are pulling down the already discounted tag price even more. Amazon, Best Buy and GameStop are dangling an identical $50 gift card for all shoppers that will reduce any Xbox One 500GB bundle to $249, which should be tempting enough.
Walmart is only willing to shave off the same Xbox to $269 as the giant retailer's Black Friday gift card is pegged at $30 and there is no indication it will go any higher in the days to come.
But Target beats them all, thankfully, with its $60 gift card that will render the Xbox One bundle red hot for a mere cash setback of $239, which should be so inviting that even those planning to snatch the Sony PlayStation 4 for this year's Black Friday might want to reconsider.
And Xbox One maker Microsoft is making the game shopping for owners of its console even more interesting with its Black Friday 2015 deals that will run from November 20 through 23, according to Gotta Be Mobile. For those who will take advantage of the Xbox Live membership promo, which will only cost $1 as part of the deal, the fun will last until November 30.
What's in for Xbox fans? GBM said that downloadable game titles and other digital contents will be discounted from 40% to 60%. While Microsoft is yet to detail on which titles will get the price off and how much the savings would be, GBM said that it's safe to assume that Microsoft-developed games will be subjected to the biggest mark downs.
In a related report, iDigitalTimes is speculating that the following game titles will be part of the price reduction promo:
- Forza 6
- Gears of War: Ultimate Edition
- Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
- Goat Simulator
- Batman: Arkham Knight
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
