I put a question mark in the title because I'm not entirely sure if the CYBER15 promo code will apply to the Xbox One deal, but if so, then the final price would be around $255.

Much better than their Black Friday doorbuster deal. I was going to brave the crowds, but now I'm not going anywhere near it. I'll just stay up late Sunday and order online when the deal is active.

It's an additional 15 percent off store wide. I will be getting the PS4 Uncharted Bundle for $255...unfortunately I will have to pay tax with Target, but still cheaper even with tax.

Is the Uncharted bundle still on sale after Black Friday weekend?

This bundle seems to be $299 with a $60 retailer promo from MS. At frys, it all goes into a $60 gift card. It's essentially $239 for X1 this holiday.

Ah ok yea that makes more sense. Cheers for the clarification.

All Xbox bundles are fifty bucks off. So 450 for the Halo bundle plus another 65 dollars off. Might be worth it.

2 concerns:

1. I don't think there's anything in that press release that suggests that the 15% off code will stack on top of the $299 sale price. It's likely one or the other.....or the $299 price is being quoted with the 15% discount already taken into account (15% off of the normal $349 price is roughly $297).

2. They don't tell you what time the sale starts. Even in the event that they are actually selling systems for $255, they will be gone within minutes.

It says store wide on Cyber Monday. Why would it not apply?

Because for any kind of generic xx% discount code there are always exceptions, and consoles are often exceptions because retailer margins on them are slim-to-nothing.

It also doesn't make sense for them not to advertise the deepest possible discount. Why claim that you're selling a $299 Xbox when you're actually selling a $255 Xbox?
 
Since all XBOX ONE consoles will be 50 bucks off from November 26th through the 30th..and I want to get the 1TB Holiday bundle for 349, this would be great if I could use the 15 percent off CYBER coupon and of course the red card

I might be wrong but it seems like the code doesn't apply to Xbox which is highlighted with a specific deal: Gears bundle + EA game +3 months Live at 299$.
But the wording is ambiguous.

That "Virtually Everything" is the key phrasing for the site wide 15% off, which they don't bother to explain in the press release.

Yep this is how I read it as well.
They have this 15% off code for "virtually everything" and for a few specific items the deals detailed in the press.
But again it's a bit confusing....probably on purpose to give the idea of better discounts and attract people.

And btw it's also not clear if other consoles benefit of the 15% code and are included in the virtually everything category :D

The deal is store wide. The 299 price is quoting the price MS themselves have set for all retailers. These are two separate deals. All Xbox One bundles are 50 dollars off regardless of retailer.

I'd say the fact that they later go on to detail explicitly which offers will stack with the CYBER15 promo at the very least implies that some of the sale prices WILL NOT stack with the promo.

giftcards won't be included.
Hmm. You could be right and giftcards are the only exclusion. If that's the case, the cynic in me believes that all BF discounted consoles mysteriously become out of stock on the website on Monday, barring the e-doorbuster which is excluded from the discount on account of it being a "doorbuster".

If you guys are going to believe everything stacks then at least do it right:


"More Stacking: As part of Target’s “10 Days of Deals,” which is now underway, guests who spend $75 or more at a Target store on Black Friday, Nov. 27, will receive a 20 percent discount on an entire purchase Dec. 4-13. That 20 percent discount can be stacked with Cyber Week deals on Friday, Dec. 4 or Saturday, Dec. 5"

XB1 from $204!!1

I could be wrong, but everything I see points to what I said, I spent 11 years at Target in a high up position. This is not crazy for Target, if you have cartwheel, combined with weekly deals can get almost this crazy. There BF Xbox deal is the best out there IMO.

I could still be wrong, but I doubt I am.
