Bundle With Sea Of Thieves, Xbox One X, And Another Game Is On A Good Sale Right Now
Sea of Thieves is one of the most anticipated Xbox One exclusives of the year, and it comes out tomorrow. However, there's already a pretty good deal going on for the game if you happen to be in the market for an Xbox One X: you can grab a console with Sea of Thieves and another game for just $460.

A current promotion on Ebay slashes the price of a bundle that includes an Xbox One X, a game code for Sea of Thieves, and a choice of either Ghost Recon: Wildlands or Overwatch: Game of the Year Edition. The Xbox One X still retails normally for $500, Sea of Thieves is $60, and Ghost Recon: Wildlands and Overwatch are still in the $40-60 range, so this is a fantastic deal.

To take advantage, go to --> this Ebay page <-- and add the bundle to your cart. You'll see the $460 price tag when you begin checking out. It's worth noting, though, that this is a limited deal, and it's unclear how many of these bundles will be sold. So if you're interested, it's worth taking advantage of it sooner rather than later.

This isn't the only Sea of Thieves deal going on right now: Microsoft is also holding an official promotion that bundles an Xbox One X and a digital copy Sea of Thieves together for the console's normal retail price of $500. You can also grab a 1 TB Xbox One S, an extra controller, 1 month subscriptions to Xbox Live and Game Pass, and Sea of Thieves for $300.

One Andrew Jackson. In case resident PC gamers had it on their minds. The cheapest GTX 1060 6GB cards being $360 doesn't much take the sting off. The current environment is feeling very peasant-ish. The manor lies in disrepair.

My God. They're fighting back. I dunno. They're reading or something.

Hey, it still has a better library than the Nintendo Switch.

In case you missed that. No promises.
 
Strong competition, with their libraries the heart of their appeal, but I don't believe either of those are really sales. Various limited edition bundles with one random AAA game always seem available, and $300 (PS4 Slim) / $400 (PS4 Pro) are the MSRPs.

This is $40 off the regular price for the Xbox One X coinciding with the major Microsoft Studios AAA game launch for Sea of Thieves, which should pretty much be impossible to get for less the $60 MSRP right now, and a choice of a second AAA game with Overwatch in particular one of the enduring most popular titles in the world since its release. The bundle appears to be ~$590 value for $460: nearly 25% off.

It seemed like a worthwhile sale to flag for those interested in the game who also have been considering an Xbox purchase or upgrade.


*Edit*
I did overlook the Game Pass option ($10/mo subscription) to obtain full play access to Sea of Thieves, but keep in mind this is effectively a rental service, and not the same as owning the game.

Or wants to avoid upgrading their PC because miners have caused video cards to skyrocket to ridiculous prices.
 
I picked up a One S with all the Halo games plus Gears remastered and Gears 4 for $250 Canadian in January. That’s like $190 USD.
