(BUMP - Microsoft have this back in stock for today only in their 12 days of deal!)
Microsoft is offering $50 off and a free game of your choice with Xbox One bundles right now. With your order you will also receive free shipping.
Now, the $50 off bundle price is not much of a deal on its own. Sure, it beats the price of many of the bundles on Walmart.ca right now. However, the $50 off brings these bundles at Microsoft down to the price of the bundles at Amazon Canada. For example, the Xbox One with Kinect Assassin's Creed Bundle is on sale for $449.99 (was $499.99) at Microsoft and it costs the same at Amazon Canada.
Where the deal actually lies is in the free game. This is an offer none of the other stores has and the games are valued up to $69.99. Choose from:
- Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare for Xbox One ($39.99)
- Halo: The Master Chief Collection for Xbox One ($69.99)
- Sunset Overdrive for Xbox One ($64.99)
- Forza Horizon 2 Day One for Xbox One ($64.99)
- Destiny for Xbox One ($69.99)
- Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare for Xbox One ($69.99)
- Titanfall for Xbox One ($59.99)
- Forza Motorsport 5 for Xbox One ($49.99)
You might think these are just the retail prices and that the games are going for much lower by now, but they are not. I checked out Halo: The Master Chief Collection on Amazon - it is still priced at $69. The other big boy, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, currently costs $68.66 on Amazon. If you are trying to maximize your value, then purchase one of those two games.
The free game is what makes this deal superior to other retailers even if they have nearly the same price. You can receive a free game, which you are bound to buy anyway, that is worth $70. That is a pretty sweet bonus and is roughly equivalent to a 15 to 20% bonus value on your bundle depending upon which bundle you purchase.
These bundles are selling out quickly as one just sold out while I was writing this deal up, so buy now. Then tell us which free game you picked!
