Microsoft slashes $50 off the price of Xbox One S before revealing Project Scorpio console details
Later today at E3, Microsoft is expected to reveal all about its latest gaming console -- currently known as Project Scorpio. Ahead of this, and as has happened in the past before the launch of a new console, the company is reducing the price of the Xbox One S.
While the $50 saving is hardly earth-shattering, it does equate to essentially getting a free game with the console. But before you get too excited, it's important to note that not every Xbox One S will be reduced in price, but there is still quite a choice.
The $50 discount is only being applied to certain bundles. The Xbox One S Battlefield 1 500GB bundle will be reduced by $50 to $249, and the Xbox One S 1TB Forza Horizon 3 bundle will be reduced by $50 to $299, but there are also other bundles to choose from. The full list is as follows:
- Halo Wars 2 (1TB) $299
- Battlefield 1 (500GB) $249
- Forza Horizon 3 (1TB) $299
- Forza Horizon 3 (500GB) $249
- Minecraft Favorites (500GB) $240
- Gears of War 4 Limited Edition (2TB) $399
- Battlefield 1 Special Edition (500GB) $249
- Battlefield 1 Special Edition (1TB) $299
- Gears of War 4 (1TB) $299
- Gears of War 4 Special Edition (500GB) $249)
- FIFA 17 (500GB) $249
- Madden NFL 17 (1TB) $299
Microsoft tweeted yesterday about the savings:
Summer's coming.
