You won't have to count down the days until Black Friday, because Microsoft is offering a limited-edition deal, just in time for the holidays. Got a gamer in your life? Here's everything you need to know about the Xbox One [1] ($500 originally), which launched last year:
- When does the deal start? The sale starts Nov. 2 in the US and ends Jan. 3, 2015.
- How much will I save? Depending on the bundle, you'll save between $50 and $150.

Microsoft is gearing its gaming console to be even more competitive than the PlayStation 4 [5] ($400).
