Xbox One gets official price cut ahead of E3

Microsoft has cut the price of Xbox One to $299 in the US – just two weeks ahead of E3.

The UK price for Xbox One remains around the £279 mark, although for that price Microsoft is currently offering a 1TB console with Forza Motorsport 6, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Halo 5 and a £25 gift card.

The $50 discount comes 14 days ahead of Microsoft’s E3 press conference, where it’s rumoured to be revealing multiple new hardware units, including a slimmer Xbox One and – potentially – a more powerful successor.
