Microsoft Xbox One deal ends on January 3rd

Xbox One

If you’ve been looking to get your hands on the Xbox One at a discounted price, then now is the best time to buy it. The Microsoft holiday sale of the Xbox One will be ending on January 3rd. This means that after the 3rd, the price will be back to $399.

Microsoft is currently offering the console at a discounted price of $349. This deal also includes a copy of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and Assassin’s Creed: Unity. It is unclear what types of bundles will be available once the sale is over. Microsoft has also stated that a number of retailers will also be adding further incentives to the sale.

These retailers include Amazon, GameStop, Target and Best Buy who are all offering a free $50 gift card with their deal. Toys ‘R Us are offering an extra controller while Meijer will be adding a free game of your choice to the deal. But Newegg’s offer seems to be the strongest by far, with a 12-month Xbox Live Gold subscription and a $20 gift card.

According to recent reports, these pricing initiatives have worked like a charm this holiday season, VGChartz worldwide sales figures claims that Microsoft has now crossed the 10 million mark for the Xbox One, which is a great feat for Microsoft considering that the console is only a year old at this point. Also while these numbers may be unconfirmed, it’s still safe to assume that Microsoft has had some huge sales this holiday season with their Xbox One deal.
