Microsoft reveals pre-Black Friday Xbox One bundle deals that are too good to be true

Maybe I'm just cheap, but a free game and an extra controller sounds good to me.

Look towards the Holidays, a Microsoft executive was recently quoted saying, "If you’re buying a console for games, you’re buying an Xbox," and this might be true if deals keep going the way they are. Currently, the Xbox One has to contend with deals as slick as the $299 PS4 bundle deal at Sam's Club, but it looks like they are really going all out before Black Friday even comes around.

Microsoft has outlined their early November plans across a number a retailers and each detail includes a free Xbox One game with any bundle, plus either a gift card or a controller. These are the type of deals that make waiting to see Black Friday deals even more difficult.

If you pass up these deals, there's no going back and who knows if Black Friday will bring anything better. Check out Microsoft Xbox One Holiday Bundles here and their deals across GameStop, Best Buy, Amazon, and Target below.

Whichever console gets the cheapest this holiday season will win me over – but – it has to include plenty of freebies. I've been holding on to my PC for quite a while, ol' Labowski (my computer's name) has to retire.
