Please note that this offer is only available on the Robot White model. It does include a wireless controller, but you may need to add another controller for two-player gaming. This offer is only available to those with Best Buy Total membership.
Best Buy’s trade-in program does offer some points if you have a similar device you need to trade in, which includes handhelds and consoles from Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Asus and Lenovo. The amount you get depends on what you trade
Why this deal is important
This fast, all-digital console doesn’t go on sale very often, so any discount is considered a good deal. After saving $51, the price drops to just under $400, making it easier on the wallet. It’s not the best price we’ve ever seen, but Xbox deals typically only appear during big shopping events, like Black Friday or Best Buy’s summer anti-Prime Day sales. Any kind of post-holiday discount on this console is unusual.
