Grab these early Black Friday Xbox controller deals before they’re gone

You can never have enough Xbox Series X controllers, at least not in my house, so it’s great to see some retailers are already offering early Black Friday deals on Microsoft’s new pad.

Best Buy has discounted the striking Shock Blue Xbox Wireless Controller by $15, knocking the price down to just $49.99. But what’s more, Best Buy has also slashed the price of the superb Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 to $139, which is a saving of $40.

Widely considered the best controller on the planet, the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 is ideal for any gamer who plays competitively online. It has an abundance of customization options, such as swappable thumbsticks, and lasts up to 40 hours on a single charge.

The Shock Blue Xbox Wireless Controller is no slouch, either. The new pad is more ergonomic than previous controllers, includes a dedicated Share button, and has textured grips and triggers. It also looks absolutely lovely, which always helps.

We’re expecting accessories and games to make up the majority of Black Friday Xbox Series X deals, as the console itself is still extremely hard to find and unlikely to be discounted. We’ll also be rounding up all the Xbox Series X Cyber Monday deals on November 29 so you don’t miss any of the best offers.
