The Xbox Black Friday sale is already on, I think? No pomp to it (unlike PlayStation And Nintendo Announcements). Honestly, I'm not surprised since the official Xbox sale is actually as if horrible. Controllers from $53 to $60, are you kidding me?
For starters, Xbox controllers included in Best Buy Black Friday Sale for $39.99, so don't even think about paying more for a new controller for Xbox or PC.
But we're going to make it even better, because currently you can get Xbox Pulse Cipher Controller for Just $32.99 on Amazon now. That's 59% off the list price of $79.99 and a savings of $47.
I've been doing Black Friday sales for over six years and this is the best price I've ever seen on an official controller, let alone a special edition.
The lowest price we typically see on Xbox controllers during sales is $35, and even then that's only for the basic color options and not the fancy clear options.
This is such a good deal that I doubt it will even last until the end of the day, let alone Black Friday itself on November 28th.
Even more remarkable is that Microsoft is trying to sell it for $59.22. in your own storefront is almost criminal, especially after you’ve already Recommended retail price increased due to price increases in 2025.
This is absolutely one of the outstanding offerings in Amazon Black Friday Salewhich is also now available.
At least one of the megacorporations is offering some decent discounts on Xbox hardware, because apparently Microsoft doesn't even bother.
