Microsoft Store Deals

Today, Microsoft unveiled its new Xbox One "All-in-One" Gaming Console, Engadget writes. Although a price has yet to be released, notable features include a slot-loading Blu-ray drive, instant switching from Xbox One dashboard to live TV, remodeled gamepad and Kinect, eight-core CPU, USB 3.0, WiFi direct, and 500GB hard drive. Also noteworthy, sign up for pre-order notification and get a free $10 Microsoft Store credit good for purchases of $10 or more through June 10 at 2:59 am ET. Google News has more articles on the new console.

At participating Microsoft Store retail locations, receive a voucher for $25 off $75 or more when you participate in the Bing it On Challenge. It's the first offer we've seen this year that awards shoppers with a credit for searching for terms on the World Wide Web. (In addition to that, it's the best general dollar-off coupon we've seen from Microsoft Store.) The Bing it On Challenge pits Bing against Google; users determine which site they prefer based on five unbranded search results. Some voucher exclusions may apply. Deal ends June 30; the voucher expires July 31.
