Xbox Series X – Forza Horizon 6 Bundle

It’s been tough to recommend the Xbox Series X at its regular $649 price, but Best Buy is offering a bundle that adds only $10 to the usual cost. The package includes:

  • Xbox Series X with a 1 TB SSD
  • Forza Horizon 6 on disc (launching May 19)
  • A limited‑edition wireless controller themed after the game (a $180 value)

While a Game Pass Ultimate subscription would also let you play Horizon 6 on launch day, the bundle gives you the exclusive controller for free.

Where to Buy

Best Buy – $659.97 (regularly $809.97)

Pricing Context

The best time to buy an Xbox Series X was at launch in 2020, when it occasionally dropped to $350. Since then, both the Series X and PlayStation 5 have risen about $150 above their debut prices. Discounts are generally easier to find on the PS5, so this Xbox bundle may be the most attractive offer for those waiting for a price cut—especially if you need a console for upcoming titles like Grand Theft Auto 6.

Other Current Deals

Fast Qi 2.2 25W MagSafe Power Bank

  • Ugreen MagFlow 10,000 mAh – $49.99 at Best Buy (down from $79.99)

  • Woot – $56.99 for a four‑pack ($14.25 each)
  • Prices have fallen from $29 each at launch. The newer second‑gen AirTags offer larger range, Precision Tracking, and a louder speaker, but the first‑gen model remains a solid, cheaper option.

LEGO Flower Bouquet

  • Amazon – $47.99 (regularly $59.99)
  • Includes LEGO versions of roses, snapdragons, poppies, asters, and more.
  • Ideal as a Mother’s Day gift; you can pre‑assemble it, build it together, or let the recipient assemble it later.
