Both Game Consoles Are $300 For Much Of December
To all those who nearly killed themselves trying to get a $300 game console on Black Friday, that excursion has just been rendered completely pointless. Earlier this month Sony discounted the Playstation 4 to $300 for most of the holiday shopping season, and we wondered how long Microsoft would be able to hold out before they did the same. Not long….it just happened. MS announced the XBox would sell for $300 starting today.
Even though this sale is effective immediately, Microsoft is a week behind Sony, so they’re going to make up for it by keeping their sale going a week longer. The Playstation 4 reverts back to $350 on December 19; the XBox One returns to its normal price on December 26.
If you’ve already got an XBox One, Microsoft still has something for you: from December 22 to January 7, the XBox will be offering daily discounts on a number of digital titles. Exactly which ones they are has not been announced yet.
