Xbox One with $110 in bonuses as Best Buy attempts Cyber Monday in July

Retailers are making an earnest attempt at making July a “shopping spree” month similar to November and December. We’ve seen everything from Amazon’s recent Prime Day earlier this month to last Friday’s “Black Friday in July” sale from Best Buy. Now comes the corresponding “Cyber Monday in July” promotion.

While initially a bit gimmicky, today’s batch of deals presents some strong offers in the gaming department – particularly for those looking to buy an Xbox One.

For today only, if you purchase select Xbox One bundles from Best Buy, you’ll receive the additional bonus of a free wireless control, plus $50 in the form of a Best Buy gift card. This adds up to an additional $110 in value for items you’d most likely buy anyway. (Who’d want to be stuck with a single controller?)

Beyond the Xbox One bundle, Best Buy also has PlayStation Vita bundles on sale along with a number of notable game titles for $20 or less. We’ve listed some of these noteworthy deals below.
