The ol’ standard freebies
Until October 20, Microsoft is running a selective sale on three Xbox One bundles. Buy one of the qualifying sets and you’ll receive a free $50 gift code (good for a future purchase at the Microsoft Store) and the usual Ubisoft freebie game (they must have an infinite supply of these to give away).
Which bundles qualify? Here’s the list:
- Xbox One S Gears of War 4 1TB Console Bundle + Free Game + $50 Gift Code — $349 (list price $349)
- Xbox One S 500GB Minecraft Bundle + Free Game + $50 Gift Code — $299 (list price $299)
- Xbox One 500GB Name Your Game Bundle + Free Game + $50 Gift Code — $249 (list price $299)
Basically a price for every $50 tier. Want the latest Gears and a 1TB Xbox One S at $350? Or the $300 Minecraft bundle? There’s also the oldie Xbox One “Name Your Game” bundle from 2015 at $250.
What’s interesting about this sale is that the offer is extremely selectively, so we suspect Microsoft is holding a bit more stock than it wants on each of these units. The free games aren’t exactly anything to write home about, but free is free. The options are:
- Watch Dogs
- The Crew
- Just Dance: Disney Party 2
- Just Dance 2016
We were going to continue the joke about how Microsoft seems to have a warehouse full of these titles but it looks like Watch Dogs is now OOS as a free choice. So you know what do: Just Dance: Disney Party 2. Yah baby.
