Much to the delight of prospective shoppers, Microsoft has cut the price of the Xbox One by $50 for the holidays. This applies to Kinect and Kinect-free bundles, wrote TechnoBuffalo.

The outlet sourced information from Xbox's Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb. However, note that these deals are temporary: the Kinect-free Xbox One will soon revert to its original price of $399, while the camera-packing version resells at $499.

The Xbox Wire specified that original prices apply on Jan. 3, Saturday. The source wrote that the discounted Xbox One may be bought online for $349 in Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Microsoft Stores, Target, Toys 'R Us and Walmart.

Below are deals up for the Xbox One this January 2015. Note that prices are subject to change without further notice. We hope you get the best deals today!
