Wireless Xbox One controllers and bundles get price cuts ahead of E3

By

The Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3, is the world’s premier gaming event, drawing thousands to Los Angeles each year to eagerly await releases from Microsoft, Sony, EA, and others. Microsoft’s Xbox One and its later iterations remain stalwarts among gaming systems, and now at Walmart, in anticipation of E3, you can score a

white bluetooth wireless Xbox One controller

 for just $40, with an array of other deals on bundles and games., With E3 just days away, now is a great time to take control and up your Xbox One game.

While the Xbox vs PlayStation debate rages on, Microsoft’s army of acolytes stand by their system for its performance, features, exclusive games, and of course, its controllers. There are a crazy number of custom controllers out there, optimized for everything from affordability to genre-specific games to competitive gaming. The standard wireless Xbox One controller, though not the most exciting, is certainly one of the most iconic gaming controllers out there. Offset analog sticks are ideal for first-person shooters and sports, while textured grips help keep your hands in control. With up to twice the wireless range of previous models, this Xbox One controller gives you more room to roam while you game. The 3.5mm stereo jack allows for connection with any compatible Xbox One headset, but the ability to connect up to eight wireless controllers means you may simply gather your gaming crew at your place, instead.

This is one of the last ways to get an Xbox Series S delivered by Christmas
dont wait until black friday to buy an xbox series s

Given the large amount of scalping worldwide with gaming consoles right now, we wouldn't blame you for keeping your eyes open for Xbox Series S and X deals to try and get them at a reasonable price. Well, today is your lucky day, and if you really, really hurry, you can grab yourself an Xbox Series S for $389.97, down from $424.97, so you get a $35 savings on the console. This deal is even better because it comes with both an Xbox Pulse Red Wireless Controller and an Xbox Stereo Headset.

The Series S is the younger brother of the Series X, and while not as bulky and with as much under the hood, it's still a great little console to start gaming on. Unlike its bigger brother, the Series S doesn't come with a disc drive for you to pop games or Blu-ray discs into. Instead, it's a "digital-only" console, which is partially why it's cheaper and relies on you having a good internet connection to get your games delivered digitally. It's also much smaller in size, so it's easier to fit in your cabinet if your living room doesn't have the space for a great big box.
