Updated: to include Nov. 18-26: Save up to $310 on Surface Pro Core M deal.
With Black Friday quickly approaching in the US, Microsoft has decided to officially release its list of deals that include savings on Surface devices, Windows 10 PCs, Xbox One consoles and other gaming accessories.
On the Surface front
Microsoft just updated its Surface line of hardware with the latest Intel Chipsets, updated graphics processors and new color options, and all of that can now be had for a limited time discount.
Going into Black Friday, the Microsoft Store is offering $330.00 off select Surface devices.

Coming to Xbox One
Microsoft also recently held its first ever Xbox exclusive FanFest in Mexico City this past weekend and at the event, the company unveiled a slew of gaming related news. Perhaps, most pertinent to Xbox fans or curious Ps4 gamers was Microsoft’s news about its deals for its console during Black Friday.
Starting today, gamers can save up to $100 on Xbox One consoles and grab an Xbox Game Pass for $1.00.

Perhaps, a bit biased, but it seems Nov 18 – 30 might be a good time to check the Microsoft Store for what amounts to a MacBook Pro running Windows 10. For those not interested in the Surface Laptop, the Huawei held the title for best overall PC by many reviewers for much of 2018.
And the rest
Other unrelated PC or gaming deals that can be found at the Microsoft Store include:
- Starting Nov. 22: Save 40 percent on a Turtle Beach Stealth 300 Gaming Headset for Xbox One

While I personally was holding out for a Surface Headphone purchase, but I think these deals will be more than enough for customers to fill their shopping carts.
