Every gamer patiently waits for a scenario like this – when a newly released gaming hardware is offered with a significant price drop. With Microsoft's Sprint Sale officially launched today, the price of its recently unveiled Xbox One console has been slashed with a $50 mark down. It is not just the new hardware though, since it was previously announced that all Xbox One systems also will have the same mark down price.

As for the new console, consumers can get it in as low as $300, but the drop in price is only for a limited time, according to the company.

In connection to the price drop, Game Spot revealed that existing Xbox One owners can also avail of the Gears of War Ultimate Edition for a price of only $10, with a bonus of access to Gears of War 4 multiplayer, the beta version. Furthermore, the same report said that there also are expected discounts for the purchase of some of Microsoft's biggest game titles, including Fallout 4, Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Rainbox Six Siege, and Halo 5: Guardians.

Microsoft is no stranger to offering limited hardware price drops and discounts, but it's not always a win-win situation for buyers, particularly if they purchase it at a wrong time. The company has this tendency to drop the price one week, then bring it back up the next week, only to drop it again. Therefore, it pays to be updated with their latest news.

Moreover, the leading gaming and computer technology company also announced a great deal for those who are planning to sign up for Xbox Live Gold, saying that if users upgrade to Gold, they will be given an additional 10 percent in discounts for game deals mentioned earlier. Lastly, they also have special offers for PC games such as Halo: Spartan Strike, Hand of Fate, and Leo's Fortune.
