Xbox One Madden NFL 18 Bundle To Launch Alongside The Game Next Month

Usually you have to wait for a game to be out for a while before it starts being included in hardware bundles, but that won’t be the case with this year’s Madden NFL 18. Today Microsoft announced they’ll be offering a 500GB Xbox One S Madden NFL 18 bundle on the same day the game launches.

The Xbox One Madden 18 bundle will cost $279, which is down from the $300 Microsoft usually asks, although, currently, all 500GB Xbox One bundles are sitting at the reduced price. Microsoft hasn’t said whether $279 is a limited-time offer or a permanent price drop, so you may want to jump on this deal while you can.

Here’s Microsoft’s official feature list for the Madden bundle:

• Xbox One S with a 500GB hard drive
• Standard edition of Madden NFL 18
• Xbox Wireless Controller
• 1 month Xbox Game Pass subscription with unlimited access to over 100 Xbox One and Backward Compatible Xbox 360 games
• 14-day Xbox Live Gold trial to experience the most advanced multiplayer gaming network
• Discount Code for 20 percent off on NFLShop.com
• Dedicated Xbox Live servers guarantee you will play hard and win easy by ensuring stability, speed and reliability.

Not a bad collection of stuff for 280 bucks! As we reported earlier today, Microsoft is also offering a free bonus game with the purchase of an Xbox One S, although this only applies to 1TB bundles, so the Madden package isn’t eligible. Do you want the Madden NFL 18 bundle or the 1TB system with an extra game? Having to choose between two good deals is the kind of “problem” I don’t mind having.
