Microsoft has announced two new bundles for its upcoming Xbox One S gaming console. Like years past, gamers will be able to pick up Madden 17 with special extras and an EA Access trial for $349. This bundle will include a 1TB console and is set to be released on August 23rd. Aside from a digital download of the latest Madden title, EA includes seven Ultimate Team Pro Packs, as well. You’ll also receive a 20% promo code for your next purchase at NFLShop.com.
The Xbox One S is also getting the Halo treatment in the form of a 500GB or 1TB bundle that includes a matching controller and a total of five games. Microsoft will ship this one with the Master Chief Collection plus Halo 5. The smaller 500GB console will sell for $299 while the larger 1TB model goes for $349. Each are available for pre-order today with an August 23rd release date.
This news is just the latest in a string of aggressive moves by Microsoft following its E6 keynote last month. Just a few days ago, a fresh price drop was announced on the original Xbox One with prices now starting at $249 through the summer. Don’t forget, the Launch Edition 2TB Xbox One S is now available for pre-order alongside the new Gears of War 4 Collector’s bundle.
As always, be sure to swing by our daily games and apps roundup for the latest price drops across every platform.
