Xbox Elite Controller: Black Friday Deal Ending SOON! Don't Miss Out!

Alright gamers, listen up! If you've been eyeing that fancy red Xbox Elite Series 2 Core controller, today's your lucky day. Best Buy has slashed the price as part of their Deal of the Day, bringing it down to a cool $99.99. I know, I know, Black Friday is already a whirlwind of discounts, but trust me, this one's worth a second look. You don't want to miss out on this offer, it's only for one day!

Xbox Elite Controller: Black Friday Deal Ending SO...

Now, I'm not saying you *need* this controller. But, let's be honest, who wouldn't want one? We’re talking adjustable-tension thumbsticks, a grippy rubberized finish for those intense gaming sessions, and hair trigger locks so you can unleash your inner sharpshooter. Plus, a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 40 hours? Say goodbye to constantly swapping out AAs. It's a serious upgrade from the standard controller, that's for sure.

A quick price check on CamelCamelCamel shows that this is indeed a pretty sweet deal, although not quite the absolute lowest price ever recorded. Still, we're talking a $40 discount here! That's enough to buy yourself a new game to play with your fancy new controller. Or maybe a pizza. Decisions, decisions...

Of course, no product is perfect. IGN’s review of the Elite Series 2 Core did mention some potential issues with sticky buttons. So, it's worth keeping that in mind. But honestly, even with that potential flaw, it's still widely considered one of the best Xbox controllers out there. I've personally used the Elite series and the customization alone is worth the price of admission, at least if you really care about optimizing your gameplay. I'd say it's a calculated risk and a worthwhile upgrade.

This particular deal is just for the red Xbox Elite Series 2 Core, and it's a one-day thing. But fear not, fellow deal hunters! Xbox is also running a bunch of other Black Friday discounts right now. IGN has a great roundup of all the best deals on games, hardware, and more, so go check it out. And keep your eyes peeled, because more deals are sure to pop up as we get closer to Black Friday itself.

So, there you have it. A sweet deal on a great controller, but only for today. Don't say I didn't warn you if you miss out! Keep checking back here at IGN for all the latest Black Friday news and deals. Happy gaming! (And happy shopping!)
