After enjoying a profitable Black Friday sales week, which saw Xbox One break a number of united states sales records, Microsoft has once again chose to introduce a number of savings that it believes will make Xbox One competitive against Sony’s recently announced Uncharted Collection and star Wars: Battlefront PlayStation 4 bundles.

In fact, given the variety of bundles on offer, it looks as though consumers could be persuaded to fall on the side of Microsoft and its Xbox One over Sony’s PlayStation 4 this Christmas. rather than providing two very accurate bundles like Sony, Microsoft has announced a $50 reduction in price that is available on any Xbox One bundle during the promotional period. This implies that those Xbox One console bundles will now start from just $299 for the entry level bundle, which would have retailed for $349 before this offer was announced.

The deal implies that those searching for a new Xbox One console, either for themselves or for a loved one as a gift, can purchase the following bundles at a decreased price:

Xbox One 500GB Gears of War: supreme edition bundle ($299 down from $349)

Xbox One 1TB Halo 5: Guardians limited edition Bundle ($449 down from $499)

Xbox One 1TB Elite bundle ($449 down from $499)

Xbox One 1TB 3 games holiday bundle ($349 down from $399)

Xbox One 1TB rise of the tomb Raider bundle (out of stock)

Xbox One 1TB fallout 4 Bundle ($349 down from $399)

Xbox One 500GB The LEGO film Videogame bundle (out of stock)

Xbox One 1TB FIFA 16 bundle (out of stock)

Xbox One 500GB with Kinect bundle ($399 down from $499)

Xbox One 1TB Forza Motorsport 6 limited edition Console bundle (out of stock)

Xbox One 1TB Madden NFL 16 bundle (out of stock)

Microsoft is keen to tension that a number of these limited edition bundles are nearly sold out, such as the Forza Motorsport 6 bundle that comes with a special console version including 1TB hard disk and matching controller with rubberized diamond grips, and those wanting one ought to act quickly, especially given the even more price reductions. The promotion is currently underway and will run through until December 26, 2015 when prices will go back to what they were before this offer began.

In addition to this Xbox One bundles promotion, Microsoft will also run over the Christmas period and into the new Year with a new promotion called “Countdown”. starting on December 22, and running through until January 7, 2016, Countdown will be the “biggest digital game sale of the year for the Xbox Store” including over 200 deals on Xbox games.
