We’ve seen some pretty decent price-cuts since the launch of Microsoft’s Xbox One and Sony’s PS4, but this latest price drop is probably the best price we’ve seen for a next-gen console.
European retailer Saturn are offering the Xbox One 500GB console with a controller and all applicable leads for less than €300.
The special in-store only promotion see’s Microsoft’s latest console go for the very tempting price of €299. For reference, that’s around £217.
The picture down below is from my local Saturn store. It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time Saturn have run special offers on the Xbox One, as we reported earlier this year.
Back when the previous offer was running the store manager admitted that they’ve been having trouble getting the consoles off the shelf, something that was echoed during my visit today.
Will this put a few more Xbox One consoles in the homes of Europeans? Hopefully. It’s a decent console in its own right and deserves more than to sit on a shelf for eternity.
The console is currently going for the much heavier price of €389 on the retailers official website.
