The lull of deals between Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday is no more, as Amazon is bringing us a slew of new deals in its Prime Big Deal Days event from October 10 through to October 11. Not content with that, it’s kicked off some deals early and we’ve already spotted these official Xbox controllers down as low as £40 in the UK, and $48.99 in the US. The discount varies on which color you want to grab, but I’m pleased to see Velocity Green, a newer color, at the lowest price on both sides of the pond.
£40 is a steal for these high-quality controllers that offer wireless connectivity, textured grips, and a color for every taste. But hurry, while prices may fluctuate, the best colors tend to come in and out of stock. Don’t miss this chance to upgrade your Xbox setup with a new controller (or two).
The Xbox Series X|S controller is a big step up from the old one, and the share button makes it simple to snap and share your awesome gaming moments with your friends. These controllers feature textured grip on the rear, triggers, and bumpers, making them more snug for long gaming sessions. We love this controller so much that it still tops our Best Xbox Controllers list.
If you like the ‘elite’ look, then you should take a look at the new Red and Blue Elite Series 2 Core that are also on sale for 20% off. The white one has fallen below $100 for the first time, but we doubt these colors will do the same anytime soon.
