Have you wanted a Microsoft Xbox One but have never been able to set aside enough money for it?

You'll be happy to know you can now get this top of the line gaming console with a US$50 discount. Microsoft has decided to offer the platform at a discounted rate, which is great since Christmas is just around the corner.

CNET said this money saving deal began last Nov. 2 and ends Dec. 31. But the deal's only for U.S. residents.

Xbox One with the Kinect motion camera accessory included in the package is on sale at US$449 (original price is US$499). On the other hand, the standalone Xbox is priced at only US$349.

This move by Microsoft seems a smart move, especially since many of the most awaited game titles will be released before, during and right after the holiday season. Some examples of high profile games to be made available are "Assassin's Creed," "Battlefield," and "Call of Duty."

While this may not be the first time Microsoft has offered promos and deals on its latest gaming console, the $50 discount is still a good deal. It's a big thing for Microsoft if it really wants to gain more ground against Sony's PlayStation 4.
