Microsoft

One of the best Xbox Series X and Series S deals is being able to buy an Xbox Wireless Controller for just $44. The deal is over at Walmart and means you save $16 off the regular price of $60. Sure, the console comes with one controller but if you want to enjoy some couch co-op or competitive gaming in arm’s reach, you need an extra controller. Here’s what else you need to know before you tap the buy button below.

Why you should buy the Xbox Wireless Controller

One of the best Xbox Series X controllers for a typical day’s gaming, the Microsoft Xbox Wireless Controller is always a good addition to your collection. Rarely discounted by this much, it has all the essentials. It has a textured grip on the triggers, bumpers, and back case. There’s also a new hybrid D-pad which is accurate yet feels familiar.

Next to the standard set of buttons, there’s a Share button so if you’re keen to capture and share content like screenshots or video clips, you can do so at a quick tap of a button without stretching too far. Alternatively, you can use the Xbox Accessories app to remap buttons and set up custom controller profiles that suit your needs, with different profiles available for different games. If you like to always feel in full control of what you’re doing, it’s worth dipping into remapping things.

The Xbox Wireless Controller also has sculpted surfaces and refined geometry so it always feels good in your hands. There’s also a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired headsets or you can choose to use Bluetooth instead alongside some of the other best Xbox Series X accessories. The Xbox Wireless Controller works with the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PC, and Android, so you have plenty of functionality here.

The Xbox Wireless Controller is currently just $44 for either the White or Carbon Black controller at Walmart. A sweet saving of $16, this is a pretty hefty and unusual discount on a highly sought-after accessory. Check it out now before you miss out on the large savings.

Stocking stuffer idea: Get a Tamagotchi for only $20
The Original Tamagotchi digital pet on a chain.

Here's a worthy addition to our roundup of Cyber Week stocking stuffers: the Original Tamagotchi, a digital pet that's making a comeback after reaching peak popularity in the late 1990s, is on sale from Walmart for less than half-price. From $42, it's currently available for only $20, for savings of $22. We're not sure how much time is remaining before stocks sell out or until its price returns to normal, so if you think this is the perfect gift for somebody, or perhaps even for yourself, take advantage of the offer immediately while it's still available.

Why you should buy the Original Tamagotchi
The Tamagotchi shaped the tech habits of a generation when it was released in the late 1990s, and it's back as a retro device that's targeting kids and adults alike. If you've raised Pokémon in any of the Pokémon games or built an island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the Tamagotchi is an extremely simple version. As a digital pet, you'll have to feed it when it's hungry, play with it when it's bored, give it medicine when it's sick, discipline it when it bothers you, and clean up after it when it leaves a mess. You'll raise your Tamagotchi from an egg into a child, and depending on how you raise it, it will grow into one of the seven types of adults.
