Early Black Friday Deals: Xbox Wireless Controllers Hit New Low At 38% Off
Microsoft and its retail partners are celebrating Black Friday early with deals on wireless Xbox controllers, a couple of which are now on sale for the lowest price we've seen. We're talking about a 38% markdown for what we consider to be one of the best wireless controllers for both PC and console gaming. Time is of the essence, though, as we don't expect the current discounts to stick around forever.
That said, the timely discounts arrive on the heels of Microsoft hiking the official MSRPs of its Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S console fleet, with U.S. buyers seeing a second price hike in the span of a year. Microsoft also retooled its Xbox Game Pass service, the the flagship Ultimate tier going up in price from $19.99 to $29.99 per month (after having previously been raised from $16.99 per month).
Gamer could use a bit of good news in the console space, particularly in Xbox land, and they're getting it with these deals on first-party wireless controllers.
