Xbox One With Kinect Offered At A Discount, 2 Bundles On Sale As Phil Spencer Teases New Upcoming Feature

There’s another good reason to get an Xbox One with the Kinect this time, if you still haven’t gotten your hands on Microsoft’s next-gen console. The company has announced yet another discount, this time slashing off $50 off the Xbox One and Kinect combo for a limited amount of time.

This will put the Xbox One with Kinect at the special price of $449 for the next two weeks until Feb. 21. According to the Xbox Wire, this promo is available for those in the U.S., so the following national retailers will most likely carry the sale: Amazon, Microsoft Stores, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, Walmart and Toys R Us.

Those who don’t want to avail of the Kinect can also still get the on-sale Xbox One console for $349, which is also a time-limited markdown. Microsoft’s new pricing for the Xbox One and Xbox One with Kinect bundles come at an opportune time. This year is teeming with a number of new and upcoming releases for the console, with “Evolve” coming this week to retailers.

Another discount, albeit one that is priced much lower than Microsoft’s latest offer, can be found over at the website of online retailer Woot! It offers the Xbox One with 500GB HDD alongside the Kinect and “Ryse: Son of Rome” digital download, all for $374.99.

The bundle still has a couple of hours left on sale, though the retailer has put a limit of three orders per customer. The discounted bundle still has stocks as of this writing, so best to take advantage of this to get more discount.

More than the markdown of prices, one more reason to get an Xbox One is the upcoming new feature that has just been teased by Xbox head Phil Spencer. Since its release, the Xbox One has had a number of changes and improvements following fan feedback.

The latest in this string of new features is the ability to capture in-game screenshots. Spencer teased via a tweet that screenshots made in-game will be possible, and fans have already started to rejoice.

“Team will do a proper intro to the feature when it’s ready for preview. UI and activation is all debug right now,” said Spencer as a response to fans’ reaction. Considering that the PS4 already enjoys the screenshot feature, Engadget comments that his would be a great way to show off some of the memorable adventures in gaming that don’t require something as grand as a video livestream feed.
