Grab an Xbox controller and a $50 Xbox gift card together for just $80

Newegg is offering a bundle that includes Microsoft’s wireless Xbox controller in black together with a $50 digital Xbox gift card for a total of $80. Given that this controller model commonly retails for roughly $50 to $60 depending on color, the promotion effectively brings the controller’s net cost down relative to buying both items separately. The controller is a Bluetooth-capable wireless gamepad suitable for Xbox consoles and PCs; it’s also compatible with handheld devices such as the Steam Deck when docked to a TV. The Verge’s coverage notes this controller as Microsoft’s strongest midrange option to date, praising its comfortable, premium-feeling design, a headphone jack, and solid battery life via swappable AA batteries, while also pointing out it does not include Hall effect analog sticks. Viewed another way, the deal can be interpreted as paying full price for the controller and receiving a heavy discount on the $50 gift card. Shoppers who planned to spend on Xbox store content or subscriptions may find added value in applying the digital gift card toward those purchases. The Verge story that flagged the bundle also highlighted other limited-time tech discounts, including the Aurzen tri-fold mini projector at $249.99 from Best Buy (normally $299), Acer’s Chromebook Plus Spin 514 at $499 from Best Buy (originally $749), and Amazon’s Ugreen Nexode Pro multi-port wall charger at $59.99. These additional listings provide context for the current deal environment but are separate promotions from the Newegg Xbox controller and gift-card bundle.
