Microsoft has officially cut down the Xbox One’s recommended retail price down to $249 (R3,574) globally, making it the third price cut in as many months, reports The Verge.
“This includes bundles with games like Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, Quantum Break, Forza Motorsport 6, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Rare Replay.”
With the Xbox One S expected to launch on 2 August, this price drop appears permanent as retailers begin clearing out inventory for the new console.
The Xbox One S is expected to launch “sometime in November” in South Africa, bringing with it 4K video support, a new wireless controller, HDR support, and a smaller footprint.
We have contacted Microsoft South Africa for information as to how these price cuts will affect the price of the Xbox One in South Africa.

I love my Xbone but I’m still salty about the exessive Xbox live price increase. It’s like MS doesn’t care about regions outside the US.
I bet the local retailers won’t give us such a big price cut. They’ll just blame it on the weak rand.
