It's not time for Black Friday just yet, but the deals have already begun! Over the past few days, we've seen a few notable discounts go live — for everything from the Xbox Series X to various controllers — so we thought we'd round them up.
Let's start with the Series X, shall we? Obviously we're expecting a lot more deals to come through for Microsoft's most powerful console in the coming weeks, but for now, the US Microsoft Store is offering a $50 discount on the OG model:

In terms of controllers, we've found a bunch of early deals in various regions. If we focus on the UK and US specifically (sorry to everyone else!), the likes of Amazon and The Game Collection have reduced a series of coloured controllers to below £40, while in the US you can get up to $39 off a range of controllers including the Elite Series 2 models.
Finally, let's talk Expansion Cards. Yes, they tend to be cheaper these days anyway, but we're still seeing some good deals - you can get a 1TB card for less than £130 at Amazon UK, while in the US you can get a 2TB card for $199.99.
There's plenty more to come in the near future, so we're not getting too exhaustive right now - but if you're interested in anything specific, it's worth looking around already to see if you can nab a good deal before the chaos begins.
Don't forget about the big Xbox digital sale that'll go live for Black Friday as well, which we're expecting to begin either this week, or (most likely) next week. We could see over 1000 games discounted as part of this, so it'll be a big one!
