Commence extra carrot-dangling
Microsoft has started an extra aggressivepush on the Xbox One S, just as we near Sony’s September 7 PlayStation announcement. Now through September 6, if you buy an Xbox One S (or the original Xbox One) from Microsoft, you will receive a free $50 Microsoft Store gift code, a free Ubisoft game, and even $10 off towards an Xbox One wireless controller purchase.
The free games aren’t anything to write home about as they are typical Ubisoft picks that we’ve seen ad infinitum:Watch Dogs,The Crew,Just Dance 2016, andJust Dance: Disney Party 2. The $50 gift card freebie is, of course, the best aspect of this deal and essentially gets you another free game you can buy separately (maybeDishonored 2orBattlefield 1?).

The same deal will qualify on theolder Xbox Ones too, which are receiving additional discounts on the console as incentives — though in our opinion at this point you may as well pony up the extra $50 for the newer Xbox One S. The bonus offers do not apply to pre-order Xbox One S consoles like the upcomingFIFA 17bundle.
As mentioned, this deal is non-coincidentally ending on September 6, just before midnight at 11:59pm PST. We don’t think this will sway anyone who has already made up their mind to wait, but for those on the fence, it may just trickle budget-conscious gamers one step closer to the Xbox One S camp.
