Black Friday Xbox One deals: Don't buy yours without a bundled gift card
The last time Black Friday rolled around, the Xbox One was a distinctly bad buy. But that's not the case these days. In fact, Kotaku re-reviewed Microsoft's flagship console recently and came away impressed. Citing significantly patched software and a robust library of games, the reviewer concluded that "the Xbox One has come a long way in a year, and聽."
Clearly, gamers shopping for a next-gen system on Black Friday can feel good about adding an Xbox One to their cart. Retailers seem to agree: We've seen significantly more exciting聽, as compared to relatively boring PS4 ads. In order to make sure you score only the very best offers, we've rounded up our favorite Xbox One ads below.

This Assassin's Creed bundle has shown up in almost every major Black Friday ad, but only Target will offer a super-sweet $50 gift card to go along with your purchase.
