Best Best Buy Video Game Deals and Sales

Best Buy offers preorders of the Nintendo Switch Super Mario Odyssey Special Edition Console Bundle with Dual Red Joy-Cons for $379.99 with free shipping. Although that's list price, it's currently the only place to purchase this special edition bundle, outside of the seller below. It includes a download of Super Mario Odyssey for Nintendo Switch, a Mario-themed carrying case, and two red Joy-Con controllers (making it the first console with matching Joy-Cons that are not grey.) It's scheduled to be released on October 27.

In case it sells out, GameStop also offers it $379.99, but shipping adds $10. As we mentioned last week, you can also get a Splatoon 2-Special Edition Bundle for the same price.

Microsoft offers preorders of its Microsoft Xbox One X 1TB Console for $499 with free shipping. (Amazon and Best Buy charge a buck more.) Even though that's around list price, it's the first preorder we've seen for the standard edition of this newly-unveiled high-end version of the Xbox One. (For further comparison, we saw preorders of the Scorpio Edition console for $500 a month ago.)

It features upgraded hardware designed to play games at 4K resolution, a 2.3GHz 8-core processor, 12GB RAM (9GB allocated to games), 6 teraflops of graphical processing power, and support for 4K Blu-ray and 4K video streaming. The console comes with a wireless controller. It's expected to be released on November 7.
