Xbox One Elite controller: What the reviewers are saying

While PC players had access to that functionality for decades, Xbox 360 and PS3 owners could switch between preset control schemes only when developers included them.

It can be recalled that in preparation for the holiday sale, Sony slashed the price of the PlayStation 4 from $400 down to $350 last month.

The best offer is probably the Xbox One with Gears of War: Ultimate Edition for $299, its lowest price ever from Microsoft.

The Knight Squad website also says that it is coming on Xbox One in 2015, and now that it is a free game, then it would have the audience required to make an interesting game like this become a huge hit, possibly overnight.

Black Friday – one of the most frenzied shopping days of the year – is a week away and retailers are already rolling out a few of their best deals. More importantly, the long-promised backward-compatibility with Xbox 360 games is finally in place. Software deals are available for Microsoft Office 2016 and Windows 10. The new Xbox App on Windows 10 and newly released NXOE for Xbox One was a big step towards bringing these two platforms under one ecosystem.

If you’re in the market for an Xbox One, consoles will likely be as high as $349.99, although used consoles will go for something like $299 and less.

GameStop will always be part of the biggest Black Friday sales. Target is offering a free $60 gift card on top of your purchase of the Xbox One “Gears of War: Ultimate Edition” bundle in a “while supplies last” holiday weekend sale.

Check out this space for more updates related to the Black Friday Deals 2015! Numerous deals come bundled with games that Microsoft is promoting heavily this season. The attractive, brilliant Elite controller sits nestled in a cardboard recess on the right side, with the high-performance gamepad’s Xbox nexus-branded neoprene case just below it. A cardboard-sheathed compartment containing the power brick, power and HDMI cables, Xbox Live chat headset, and braided 8-foot USB cable for the controller is on the left half of the tray.

Non-Gold members will be able to access the deals on November 24, but if you want to enjoy the early access you can sign up to be a new subscriber for just $1 as a limited special offer.
