Xbox One official price drop brings 1TB bundles w/ multiple games down to just $319 shipped, more

Microsoft has now officially dropped all Xbox One bundles $50 with options starting at $299. The sale comes a few months ahead of E3 2016 and will run until Microsoft’s big conference on July 13th. With the $50 price drop now mostly live across the board, we are seeing some very notable discounts at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Microsoft Store and more. But it’s the rumored E3 bound Xbox One slim that makes the move most interesting.

Several outlets have reported rumors on a new, slimmer Xbox One along with a pair of possible new Xbox TV streaming boxes. Both of which could be making an appearance come July 13th. While that is something to keep in mind if you’re in the market for a new Xbox One, pricing on the new model isn’t likely to get as low as today’s deals for some time.

Outside of the base $50 drop at most retailers, we have a few special bundle deals that offer even more value:

SeeNote puts your iPhone notifications and smart home controls on an e-ink display

Smart home products and robust app stores have brought on a variety of changes in our lives over the last five years. A byproduct of that innovation is the myriad of devices, developer kits and data points that are constantly pinging us. Apple has attempted to curb some of this (at times painful) experience with HomeKit. However, that is primarily focused on hardware functionality. The reality is that we still have all of this information, which leads us to constantly checking our devices for updates.

SeeNote is a new product from a company called MoonRoof that takes the classic sticky note and transforms it into a digital hub for your life. Amazon Echo has management skills but it is based around auditory cues. SeeNote differs with its customizable and interactive e-ink visual display that puts much of your life in one place. More below.
