Amazon’s Black Friday sale has been a real treat so far, especially when it comes to video games. Not only has the retailer been offering some incredible discounts on individual games, but it’s even dropping the price on a few different bundles. The retailer’s own ‘No Console Required’ Xbox bundle – which allows you to play Xbox games via cloud streaming through an Amazon Fire Stick – has dropped almost 50% in price during Black Friday sales.
In particular, the bundle that comes with the red Pulse Cipher Special Edition Xbox controller, a Fire TV Stick 4K, and one month of Game Pass Ultimate is 48% off at the retailer (see it here). This has brought its bundle price down from $149.97 to $77.97, and marks its lowest price ever, per Amazon’s store page. Considering the list price of the Pulse Cipher controller on its own is $79.99, this is a bundle deal well worth taking advantage of while it’s available.
