Thanks to some confusing naming conventions from Microsoft, a lot of folks don’t know that you can get the brand’s best-ever controller, the Elite Series 2, for cheaper these days. The Elite Series 2 Core is exactly the same gamepad as its pricier sibling, complete with a wad of customization features. It’s cheaper, however, because it doesn’t come with the highly coveted component pack that gives this pro controller four magnetic back paddles, some swappable thumbsticks, and a carrying case.
I’ve noticed both models of the Elite Series 2 dropping in price in the last year, but we’ve just spotted that the Elite Series 2 Core has dropped back to its cheapest-ever Black Friday price. Usually sat at an MSRP of $129.99, it's down to just $95.
99 , which is actually the cheapest it’s ever been priced at by Amazon. You'll be glad to know this offer even extends to the UK, where the price of the white version has dropped down to only £89.95 at Amazon - its lowest price since December of 2023.
This offer is great in its own right since you're getting one of the best Xbox Series X controllers at its lowest-ever price, but it's allowed me to do some stealthy bundle hunting. What if there's a way you lovely readers can use a workaround to get this controller and its add-ons for so much cheaper than usual? Allow me to explain. The full-fat version of the Elite Series 2 is down to a discounted price of $141.
35 at Amazon right now, but I can do you one better. The official co.
