August 5, 2014

If you're in the market for an Xbox One, Target is currently offering a pretty good deal on the system. If you buy a $399 bundle, which does not come with Kinect, you will receive a $50 Target gift card. Sound familiar? That's because Best Buy held a similar deal last week.

Target's deal is even sweeter, however. You'll also receive a $5 Target gift card as part of a special back-to-school promotion (because an Xbox One is considered a back-to-school item for some reason) and free shipping. The offer, which is not good on the $500 Xbox One bundle that comes with Kinect, expires August 9.

If you'd rather wait for another Xbox One console bundle, Microsoft will release a special $399 system this month that includes a console and a copy of Madden NFL 15, followed by a white Xbox One with Sunset Overdrive later in the year. Previously, white Xbox One systems were available only to Microsoft employees.

The $399 Xbox One went on sale on June 9 and immediately flew off the shelves at GameStop. Likely due to the arrival of the new, less-expensive Xbox One SKU, Xbox One sales in the United States "more than double[d]" in June, compared to May. However, the PS4 was still the top-selling console for June in the US.
