The end of the year is fast approaching. What better time to kick back and enjoy some video games? It's also the best time to do a quick upgrade on all your gaming equipment. For instance, you can still snatch a discounted console or two here and there ahead of the holidays. And if you've been in dire need of a new controller for a while, it's a good time to get one of those, too, thanks to a sale going on at Best Buy right now.
As of Dec. 19, you can get an Xbox Wireless Controller for just $39.99 at Best Buy, down from its usual price of $64.99. That's a discount of 42%. This price applies to the Shock Blue colorway, and the deal is available for the next 13 hours at the time of writing.
The base Xbox Wireless Controller is the same one you get when you purchase an Xbox console. It's compatible with all Xbox platforms as well as Windows, so you can use it to game on PC as well, even if you're not playing an Xbox game – it works beautifully with mot Steam games.
It fits great in the hand, and offers a hybrid D-pad, textured grip on each trigger, bumper, and back casing, and it also allows for customizable button mapping with the Xbox Accessories App. If you have a headset that uses a 3.5mm jack, it supports that, too. It's super simple to connect and go via Bluetooth, which means it's a worthy upgrade to third-party wired offerings or the old Player 2 controller with analog sticks that just don't work anymore. Grab yours quick before the sale is over so you can get your game on comfortably.
