Best Black Friday Game Console Sales: Xbox One S and PS4 Slim
The fancy new Xbox One S lands in August and will push older Xbox prices down.
This week, Lords of the Fallen and Dead or Alive 5 Last Round DLC are highlighting the Xbox One deals.
There are several computer deals that you won’t want to miss on Black Friday 2016. Now all that’s listed on the console side of things is a tantalising $349 Xbox One S 500GB with an included copy of Rise of the Tomb Raider. Xbox One owners can have their own copy of Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition without spending any dime as it will be free for the entire month. Snap them up quickly. We’ll be rounding up all the best Xbox One bundle deals as well as nicely discounted games and accessories. This matches Target’s discount in order to let more people buy the console for cheaper. Here are some of the more attractive locations for gamers on Black Friday.
PS4 Pro is said to be the victor when it comes to the overall performance of the two gaming consoles and twice as powerful as the standard PS4. Black Friday is a ideal time to upgrade your gaming gear, with deals on hardware, games, and more.
Microsoft also does weekly deep discounts for Deals With Gold And Spotlight Sale, with the latter not requiring a Gold membership. To sweeten the deal, Walmart is throwing in a gift card to help with your other Christmas shopping. Most of these discounts knock $50 off the current sticker price of $299. That’s a good deal because a controller is usually $59.99. PS4 had the largest collection with some awesome most exclusive items like Last of Us rechartered. It’s all about preparation, and to get some of the best deals you might just have to venture out.
The third big console maker, Nintendo, doesn’t have as much to offer. The only release date Microsoft has confirmed so far is that it’ll be out by “Christmas 2017”, so it’s most likely a full year away from release.
We’re adding links as often as we see them, so be sure to check back often.
In some cases, the prices you’ll pay for games from the PlayStation Store are a few dollars more expensive than their retail counterparts. Consoles are always hot tickets on Black Friday because of the proximity of Christmas, and Xbox One is a prime device for the American games market.
