Gamers can now purchase cheaper Xbox One and Xbox One S consoles and bundle packages after retailers dropped the prices on a variety of their products.

According to Tech Radar, the time to avail the discounted merchandise is now, as deals upon deals of consoles and other packages are being offered at the cheapest price. For example, it will be best for those who are planning to buy standalone consoles to check out the new Xbox One S instead of going for the original one, which is less expensive. With all the discount coupons available, buying the newer version is said to be the smarter thing to do.

At the moment, Xbox One sells from $239 to $379.99 at selected stores. Although it may look cheaper, the deals that come with purchasing the Xbox One S make the latter a better buy. The new console's price ranges from $247.00 to $327, but it comes with a variety of upgrades. The design is a lot slimmer compared to the bulky original. The 4K visual support makes it possible for gamers to watch Blu-Ray and Netflix content on a higher resolution.

Meanwhile, one of the newest Xbox One S bundles being offered (via Amazon) is "Halo Wars 2" that sells for $299.99, $50 less than the original price of $349.99.

According to MS Power User, the bundle includes a new Xbox One S console with 1 TB hard drive, one wireless controller (complete with a 3.5mm headset jack), a 4K capable HDMI cable and an AC Power cable. The package also includes "Halo Wars 2: Ultimate Edition," which can be downloaded on both Xbox One and Windows 10 PC. It also comes with a code card and a season pass, which will allow the owner to access new content (including Blitz cards, etc.) for a six-month period. The "Halo Wars'" upgraded version, "Halo Wars: Definitive Edition," is also part of the bundle. As a bonus, Microsoft will give the gamers a 14-day trial of Xbox Live Gold.
