Black Friday 2018: The best Xbox One sales and bundles begin – CNET

With the Xbox One X having celebrated its one-year anniversary as the most powerful console on the market, there’s never been a better time to add a first, second or third console to your household. We won’t judge.

We’re listing some of the best deals we’ve found so far on Xbox One consoles and bundles, and so far, it looks like you’ll be able to pick up a Xbox One S 1TB for as low as $200, with prices increasing as you either upgrade your Xbox or pile on more games.

Not all of these deals will kick off at the same time, nor is their availability guaranteed, particularly if they’re listed as doorbuster promotions. But we’ll keep this list updated as we get closer to Black Friday and as deals either emerge or vanish.

You can check out more deals in the slideshow below and or scroll down to see a few of our favorites.

A couple of notes to keep in mind:

  • The links below direct to current store listings for the products. Discounts will be reflected as soon as they go live for the respective retailers.
  • CNET may get a share of revenue from the sale of the products featured on this page.

You’re going to have a hard time beating this price for an entry into the Xbox ecosystem. The Creators Bundle includes Minecraft and a ton of add-ons for the game, along with the Xbox One S. This one is widely available, but it should be available now at GameStop on Sunday and Walmart starting 10 p.m. ET on Wed., Nov. 21. Many other stores will get it on Thursday, with Target throwing in a $20 gift card.

As you can see below, the Battlefield V bundle is available all over this Black Friday. But getting that bundle with what’s arguably the biggest game of the year in Red Dead Redemption 2 packed in for free? That may be too good for eBay’s inventory to last.

Fallout 76 has arrived, and if you’re dead-set on entering the wasteland of post-apocalyptic West Virginia with a powerful console at your side, this bundle’s for you.

$429.00 at Amazon

Note that you can also get the Xbox One S or One X with some other, newer games by paying just $30 more. That’s still a net saving, because you’d likely be paying $60 for these games if purchased separately.
