Amazon Prime Day 2: The Return of the Deals is going strong right now and we’re keeping our eyes peeled for the best bargains. Imagine my surprise though, when the biggest deal I found wasn’t on Amazon at all. Walmart has dropped the Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 Core to an all-time low of $88. In fact, competitors are going further than a simple price match over the sale period, and are going cutthroat with their alternative sales to tempt gamers away from the lure of Amazon. This is the best deal I’ve seen though, and I initially thought it was a misprice.
This is a crazy value offer for gamers who want a high-quality gamepad that has enhanced comfort and control over the standard models. The black and white goes beautifully with both the Xbox Series S and X and I can’t see it sticking around in stock at this all-time lowest price of $88.
Considering the basic Xbox Series X|S controller retails at $64.99 when full price, to get an Elite controller for just over $20 more is an incredible deal. You’re getting a hell of a lot more for your money here as the Elite Series 2 Core has adjustable-tension thumbsticks, a rubberized grip, and customizable trigger locks. It also holds over 40 hours of charge so you needn’t worry about it letting you down during long gaming sessions.
The only real drawback with the Elite Controller Series 2 Core to the Elite 2 is that it doesn’t come with the back paddles but thankfully those are on sale on Amazon right now in a bunch of colors.
The Elite Controller Series 2 Core hit below $100 only a mere month ago, and it was a great deal then, for $88 this is the lowest price I’ve ever seen the gamepad sell for, and as it’s my favorite official Xbox controller and one the Best Xbox Controllers, it’s certainly worth your attention. I can’t see the stock lasting long at this price.
