Best console deal
Why we like it
The most powerful Xbox you can get, the Xbox Series X comes packing a hefty 1TB HD so you can store more than a few games – those install sizes are getting bigger all the time. It's $50 off right now through December 2, and serves up graphics at up to 120FPS with crisp visuals and faster load times than the standard Xbox Series S. Alternatively, get the 512GB Xbox Series S for $50 off as well starting November 21 through December 2.
Best controller deal
Why we like it
This standard Xbox wireless controller comes in just about any color you could imagine, and it boasts a hybrid D-pad, textured triggers and bumpers, and Bluetooth connectivity. You get one with your console purchase, but if you could use another, you can save $10 off one controller at Xbox starting November 21 through December 2 and December 13 through December 23, on select designs only. If you don't see one you like, head to the Xbox Design Lab to create your own and get free engraving on all controller purchases from November 28 through December 5.

Why we like it
This Diablo IV expansion is a massive addition to the core game, set in the new region of the jungle terrain Nahantu. It introduces the new Spiritborn class as well as a new endgame dungeon, additional abilities, items, and other changes. You can pick it up right now for $29.99, but Xbox has sweetened the deal considerably. If you buy now through December 2, you'll get a promotional $5 Xbox gift card and the Sound of Slaughter bundle, which adds a few cosmetic items to your coffers.
