Xbox One for $199 at Target, Select 3DS XL systems for $99

Looking for an Xbox One or 3DS XL system? Target is clearing out some gaming stock and you could snag a Xbox One or 3DS XL for half their normal retail price.

[Cindy-rella]

Thats like literally giving away xbox ones for free. Im thinking there will be places selling xbox one towards the end of next year for 150 dollars because ps4 will have some sort of price drop.

[Concertoine]

I wish 200 bucks was free :P

[Drabent]

Gotta love americans^^

[DarthZoolu]

just talked to 10 targets this isn't true

[UltraNova]

From 400 to 200 is free in my language...

This is probably not true.

[DarthZoolu]

The best X1 deal is at newegg.

[demonddel]

$199 is free wow really

[Drabent]

Do u love americans? lol><

[DLConspiracy]

@drabent

Is it necessary to post xenophobic comments here?

[jb227]

That says that Target VASTLY over estimated their capabilities to sell the system to me...w/ the price going back up in a week, retailers would have to be either crazy or crazy desperate to mark them down that low, must not have been a huge seller for them, I'd be interested to see what the sold thru numbers are for Nov. & Dec. to see what kind if discrepancy there is, but Target is a pretty major nationwide retailer so it seems like the gulf between the two would most likely be pretty wide. Haven't seen any discounts on the retailer level for the PS4 or Wii U, only free games or peripherals bundled in.

[GUTZnPAPERCUTZ]

I just called my Target and asked them if they had any for $199 and they said no but they are completely out of the $349 models and only have 2 Kinect bundles left. They never had them for $199 he said :/

[frostypants]

No. Giving away Xbox Ones for free would be "literally" giving them away for free. As they are charging $199, they are not "literally" free.

You are using "literally" in a way that is literally the opposite to its meaning.

[rivencleft]

Reminds me of Princess Bride, "you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

[modelgod]

Exactly. I also talked to 5 targets in long island in NY and it's not true.

[WeAreLegion]

Classic Shmosby.

[BDSE]

The fire sale continues.

[fanboysmackdown]

More consoles they sell, the more games people buy so it's been great for consumers this holiday. The real desperate console had little to no good deals...talking about you Wii-Poo.

[jrshankill]

nope. it is fake. no targets are selling for $199 and no employee knows of it either.

[WeAreLegion]

I knew Tobias would pop up!

[Muzikguy]

You guys complaining about the price sound like a bunch of cheapskates. Obviously $200 isn't "free" but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than $500 they were launched at! 60% off is "almost" like giving them away. If $200 is still too much for a console you're probably going to use for YEARS then you probably shouldn't be gaming IMO. I don't want an X1 but if I did I'd jump at this price. I'm not jumping down anyone's throat but why be so literal? Lighten up a little bit.... It's going to be a bad start to the new year!!

[Svinya]

The $500 model includes kinect and is still selling for $500.

[modelgod]

I'm xbox to the core and I respect the fact that you don't want one and I agree with your statement 100%.

[Bigpappy]

If it were true, I would pickup 2 more. May put them in different rooms, or give them to needy neighbors.

[raymantalk1]

if you would give them to needy neighbors you must be loaded to be able to give away $400 like that wish i had soo much money so i could do something like that :)

[Muzikguy]

I bet if you had $400 @rayman giving it away would be the last thing you'd want to do :)

At least it is for me

[MRMagoo123]

Why would you be that mean to your neighbor ?

[ScaryMonkey]

They could "literally" be free and still wouldn't be worth owning.

[MasterCornholio]

Wow a special edition 3DS XL for 99$. That's a fantastic deal.

:)

[Clover904]

I'd be all over that, but the New 3DS will surely be released stateside sometime this year. Its going to be hard to holdout until then.

[yuukiliu]

I would hold out. I had a launch 3DS and finally bought a new one in november(L.E. smash bro new 3DSLL) it was worth the wait. Way better battery, Everything is faster and MH4 works great with the new c stick. they have already announced 1 exclusive, so I am sure more will be announced later.

[Patrick_pk44]

This. Holdout for the new one. Nintendo is attempting to sell all of the old stock of the 3DS to replace it with the new one, which is the result of the recent sales for the handheld.

[Xb1ps4]

Yea not bad.. I got my son one for 150 with a free game, got it with that luigi mansion game.. I think it was 40 for the game so it works out about the same

[traumadisaster]

Didn't show up on targets website...click bait

[Macdaddy71]

In store only??? Read ad,.. Just called my local target n they have 5 left,..inter web store sites are different then in stores,..
One thing I hate worse then someone that lies is someone that can't read!!!!

[Omegabalmung]

It's real

https://www.cheapassgamer.c...

The only problem now is if you can find the items anymore. The deal has been going on since Sunday and most of the target stores probably had only a few each.

[XanderZane]

Yeah, they are sold out everywhere. I didn't get this Sunday's paper so I wasn't aware about the sale. No big deal. I already own both a 3DS and XB1. I would just sell them on Ebay for a profit anyways.

[neocores]

Fake. Story

[MoeStedley]

Sentence. Structure

[XanderZane]

It's possible. I don't see these sales in their Sales Ad for Sunday Dec 28th.

http://weeklyad.target.com/...

Maybe this was just a Dec 31st one day deal. The receipts seems to be for Dec 28th though.

[andibandit]

One. Bubble

[u got owned]

wow is this for real?

[VforVideogames]

Too late now..... real is gone....

[iNFAMOUZ1]

lol

[spicelicka]

This has to be madness

[Sheed]

Madness?

THIS

IS

TARGET

[Gamer1982]

Fake don't know what the original poster has to gain from though. No way they can sell at that price Target would have to only be getting rid to get rid of stock but even so they wouldn't sell at that big of a loss..

[orakle44]

It is not fake. My local Target, has 3 more in stock. I just called to find out.

[cutthroatslim]

Dat M$ desperation...

[Kribwalker]

Dat fanboy trolling

[Kiwi66]

So when places like Target, BestBuy etc have PS deals does that mean that Sony are desperate and why do people always use the same stupid comment whenever a place that has nothing to do with MS do an xbox deal to sell their stock of xboxes

[Xb1ps4]

You can't be a gamer with that lame comment...

[famoussasjohn]

More like Targets desperation to clear out inventory quickly because then they'll never sell the Madden bundle when it increases back to $399.99 next week. You must be new on retail stores and how they try to clear inventory.

[Double_O_Revan]

Sold out Everywhere near me, my parents & my brother. Wanted that SSB 3DS BADLY. Oh well...

[ko4life]

I just got the deal today. I didn't realize how nice it looks. It made me retire my Pikachu 3DS.

[ironmonkey]

Is this u.s only?

[Enigma_2099]

Okay, what did they take out of the box?

[quenomamen]

Decent RAM ?

[tekksin]

they'd have to have decent ram to take it out in the first place.

[YourGreatUncle]

If Target is sold out take the ad to Wal Mart or Best Buy. They will price match.

[Wikkid666]

Not an ad... it's an in store promo to get rid of of the old bundle.

[YourGreatUncle]

They will still price match because I just did it about 3hrs ago. Talked to a Wal Mart manager, showed her some of the articles on my phone about it, and she then called up the local Target to confirm it.

[famoussasjohn]

They changed their policies (due to that $99 PS4 scam a month or so ago)and may call the location to confirm inventory. If they don't have it, they won't honor it in most cases unless you're lucky and get someone who doesn't care.

[jukins]

Ahhh I see knew there was a catch "if you can find it"

[CuddlyREDRUM]

The deal was so amazing it never existed.

[Heater]

This price policy adopted by Microsoft cleraly shows that the Xbox One a complete faliure

[Shineon]

I might gone and get one# no pun intended

[Ps4andxb1]

MS is desperate and vgchartz is wrong.

Unless it's the ps4 getting a price drop or vgchartz is stating ps4 sold more.

In which case, good business move, and vgchartz is correct.

N4g...smh.

[spicelicka]

Anyone know if this is also in Canada?

[voodoogts]

This just shows you how much Microsoft got. They got money to blow. They are a far better successful company than Sony. The business net worth proves it. Microsoft net worth 380 billion dollars while Sony is at 11 billion dollars. You think with all those PS4 sales they would be profiting but its Sony 6 straight year where they couldn't profit as a company. And with all that money Sony is supposedly making you think they would make a better secure infrastructure for the gamers but they don't... Sony gamers loose.

[tekksin]

Oh dear, what ever will Sony do with 11 billion dollars :( They're practically broke! /s

Rich parents don't make you cool any more than a rich company makes a console great. Software makes it great; and until you have something to brag about in that department, kindly stfu. Microsoft needs to stop trying to find ways to brag about its consoles sold, and worry more about establishing new IP, and taking proper care of the few it has now.

[freshslicepizza]

here's a list of studios sony closed last generation,

Game Republic
Incognito Entertainment
Relentless Software
Bigbig Studios
Zipper Interactive
SCE Studio Liverpool
LightBox Interactive
Eat Sleep Play

[twiggytree12]

You do realize it is Target selling at this price? Not MS.
Also, it is just the madden bundle that is selling at this price not the X1 in general.

[nevin1]

Why just Xbone and 3DS Target?

[twiggytree12]

My guess would be they are having trouble moving those 2 units specifically.

[GokuSolosAll]

F**k my poverty stricken ass for not being able to get these deals.

[Karandinho]

call target and none thats even going for that price, fro new jersey btw

[Tedakin]

My friend called Target. They said this isn't true.

[ko4life]

I went to target and used their price scanner to confirm the SKU it came up as 99.99 for the 3DS. The guy at checkout even told me I save 100 dollars. Don't call use the link on their site to check the SKU it's only the Yoshi and SSB 3DS and Madden 15 bundle Xbone

[DeviDavil]

I wish to buy Xbox 1. but these days my pockets are empty

[GokuSolosAll]

Can't wait until this article is no longer prominently displayed. It's eating me up not to get these deals.

[ko4life]

It's NOT a lie or click bait. I read the story used their link to check my local stock and went to target and got a Smash Bros. 3DS blue version. They have 3 left at my local store. The only Xbone for clearance is the Madden bundle and they don't have any of those in stock.

[pop-voxuli]

Damn, the ol xbone is having a fire sale!!

[Jaqen_Hghar]

Will they ever be able to get anyone to buy the system the other 10 months of the year after these crazy holiday sales? A man thinks not. Guess they like dem profits for a couple months and stagnant sales for the other 10. Wonder when PS4 will reach 50% market share next year (at 48% and change right now with WiiU's year lead factored in)

[pelida]

Great price, if I'm able to find one at that price I might jump in

[kingvendrick]

Target must be desperate pretty much giving xbones away. Still too dear anyway.

Personally wouldn't buy one if it was $1.99 lol.

[CloudVII]

This is definitely not fake I used the provided skus and the website to search. I bought a Blue Smash Bros 3dXL for 99.99 came to 105.99 with the tax. They had one left , the is also another store a little further that has 3 of the Yoshi 3dXL's I'm debating on picking one up. The big one though I was looking 4 was the XONE Madden bundle that no stores seem to have. Wish I could find one cause that's a pretty killer deal.

[SegaGamer]

This can't be true surely. Brand new Xbox 360's cost more than that.

[Angerfist]

The 3DS saLe Could be true. The New mModell is coming soon.

[Tzuno]

The real price of a console people, until now you paid too much.

[Psychotica]

My local store doesn't even carry the Xbox One\Madden combo..
