Microsoft has scene its fair share of ups and downs since the launch of the Xbox One in November, 2013. However, although the console hit shelves with a limited selection of titles and higher price tag than that of Sony’s PlayStation 4, it’s come a long way since its initial debut. Console exclusives such as Sunset Overdrive and Halo:The Master Chief Collection now provide both casual and die-hard gamers with an experience they can’t find anywhere else, while remastered editions of big-budget blockbusters like Grand Theft Auto further bolster the console’s appeal with vivid visuals and next-gen gameplay — not to mention more vulgarity and drug references than Martin Scorsese’s Wolf of Wall Street and The Departed combined.

Fortunately, there’s now a welcome array of bundles designed to give gamers and those looking for a competent media hub the complete package at a discounted rate. Most deals come from big-name retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy, but sadly, most also expire within several weeks of going live. Below are a few of our favorites, whether you’re looking to trade in your last-gen console or simply pick up a few extra titles in the process. After all, the latest Assassin’s Creed isn’t thaaaat bad.

Xbox One (500GB) | Assassin’s Creed: Unity | Choice of one bonus game

Assassin’s Creed: Unity didn’t launch to rave reviews, but opting for Toys R Us’ flagship bundle also provides you with a copy of its excellent predecessor, Black Flag. The 0 bundle also includes a 500GB Xbox One console and physical copies of both titles, not to mention a third game of your own choosing. There are five eligible titles to choose from in all, including Forza Motorsport 5, Dead Rising 3, Project Spark, Shadow of Mordor, Sunset Overdrive, and Ryse: Son of Rome. Just add both items to your cart and watch the discount apply on checkout.

Xbox One (500GB) | Choice of game dependent on bundle

$175 with work Xbox 360 or PS3 trade-in

Nothing beats Best Buy’s Trade In and Trade Up program, well, so long as you still have a working Xbox 360 (250GB) or PlayStation 4 Slim (120GB) on hand. If you trade in either system at a participating Best Buy store, you’ll receive a $75 coupon toward an Xbox One console as well as a $100 Best Buy gift card, which you can immediately put toward your purchase of either the Assassin’s Creed: Unity or Halo: The Master Chief Collection bundles. We still recommend calling your local Best Buy before heading out, though, as some stores have additional limitations.
