Microsoft announced today that it is cutting the console's price by $50 effective November 2.
The limited-time promotional offer (valid in the United States only) applies to any Xbox One console. This means you can get the Kinect free system for $350 or the standard Kinect bundle for $450.
The price cut also applies to special edition bundles, including those that include Assassin's Creed Unity,Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (which also comes with a 1TB hard drive), and Sunset Overdrive.
Here's a breakdown of the deal.
- Kinect-free Xbox One -- $350
- Xbox One With Kinect -- $450
- Xbox One Assassin's Creed Bundle Without Kinect (comes with copies of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Unity) -- $350
- Xbox One Assassin's Creed Bundle With Kinect (comes with copies of Black Flag, Unity, and Dance Central Spotlight) -- $450
- Xbox One Sunset Overdrive Bundle (comes with game, white console, white controller) -- $350
Notably, when the special Xbox One deal goes into effect, it will make Microsoft's console less expensive than the rival PlayStation 4, which sells for $400.
The promotion--valid through January 3, 2015--will be available across the United States at most major retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Microsoft Stores, Target, Toys 'R Us, and Wal-Mart.
A Microsoft spokesperson has confirmed that the discount deal will not extend to UK, Canada, or any other territories for now. Though the corporation has not ruled out a discount either.
Microsoft wrote: "Decisions about promotional and pricing strategies are made at a local level and based on market context. We have nothing more to announce at this time."
