It’s been tough to recommend the Xbox Series X recently, especially at the $649 price it has sold at since last October. But if you’re thinking about getting one, at least consider the Forza Horizon 6-themed console bundle you can get at Best Buy that’s just $10 more than the usual inflated price.
The set includes the Series X with a 1TB SSD, Forza Horizon 6 on disc, and the wild limited edition wireless controller inspired by the game — a $180 value. Sure, you could just get a Game Pass Ultimate subscription to play Horizon 6 on its May 19th launch day, but then you’d miss out on the free controller.
The best time to have bought an Xbox Series X was when it launched in 2020, or shortly after (people shouldn’t forget that it used to occasionally sell for $350). Consoles have gotten more expensive since then — the Series X and the PlayStation 5 now sell for $150 more than their debut price. However, deals are easier to find on a PS5 than an Xbox. If you’ve been waiting for anything resembling a discount to hit the Series X, perhaps this will suffice. I mean, we’ve got to have something to play Grand Theft Auto 6 on, right?
