Microsoft Dropping the Price of Xbox One Bundles by $50 for the Holiday Season

(*UPDATE: This temporary price drop is in the United States only.  For Canadians, the price remains $399.  If you’re upset, taking into consideration the exchange rate of a CDN dollar into a US dollar, the price would be just over $393 dollars (CDN Funds). So the temporary price drop in the U.S. equates to almost the same price Canadians are already paying.*)

In a move that is certain to send plenty of Xbox One consoles off the shelves this holiday, Microsoft has dropped the price of the Xbox One console as well as select bundles by $50. Bringing the cost of many bundle down to $350 is a power move by Microsoft that puts it as one of the best priced next gen consoles on the market. Of course let’s not forget that you’re getting a great new game included with that purchase!
