US sees crazy Amazon Xbox One flash sale, Walmart US price still $450
The Xbox One is currently on sale for $399 before tax, $100 off its regular price, at Amazon using code XIAMAZON.
The Amazon sale consists of the console, which is listed on the website for $449, and a free digital copy of Forza Motorsport 5. The $50 discount will be applied once the product is added to the cart and the code is entered at checkout.
The Xbox One recently went on sale for $449 at Walmart and Best Buy for an undisclosed and limited period of time. According to Microsoft, the $50 discount on the Xbox One at Walmart and Best Buy wasnt indicative of a price cut from Microsoft, saying "it sets a suggested retail price, but specific pricing and offers vary by retailer."
Weve reached out to Amazon to ask how long the deal will run for.
Update: The (above) deal is over.
Editors Note: As of this morning, Walmart.com (US) is still advertising the Xbox One Forza bundle and Xbox One Titanfall bundle as being "On Rollback", meaning that the older discounted price of $449.99 should still appear in the cart once the customer is logged in. So if you have affordable means of getting it shipped out of the states to wherever you are, this might still be the best deal in town. Both bundles still remain at $499.99 for Canadian retailers.
