Get 20% Off the Limited Edition Ghost Cipher Xbox Controller This Black Friday

Lenovo hasn’t wasted any time getting a jump on Black Friday this year! They’ve slashed the price of the Ghost Cipher Limited Edition Xbox Series X|S wireless controller to just $54.99, a 21% discount from its usual price. While we’re expecting to see standard Xbox controllers drop to around $39.99 during Black Friday, it’s unlikely the Ghost Cipher edition will see such discounts, especially since it only hit the shelves on October 21. This is an authentic Microsoft controller that’s perfect for your Xbox Series X and S consoles, and it works just as well on a PC.

The Ghost Cipher Edition is not only eye-catching but a joy to use. With its translucent top cover, rubberized ash gray grips, and metallic bronze triggers and D-pad, it’s a stunner. The solid white back and silver interior components complete the aesthetic. Aside from its looks, this controller shares all the key features with the standard ones you’d find bundled with the Xbox. You’ll enjoy the textured grips, hybrid D-pad, the ability to map buttons using the Xbox app, a 3.5mm audio jack for any wired headset, and a handy Share button for easy screenshot and video uploads.

One of its best qualities is versatile connectivity; the controller works via both Xbox wireless and Bluetooth. So whether you’re gaming on PC or a mobile device, it’s ready to step up. We think it stands out as the top choice for a PC gamepad. Even if your PC lacks Bluetooth, a USB Type-C cable can sort you out, or you can pick up a Bluetooth or Xbox wireless adapter.

If the Ghost Cipher isn’t quite your style, perhaps the Sky Cipher controller will catch your eye. It boasts the same clear casing but with a blue tint. You can snag it on Amazon within the Xbox Cloud Gaming Bundle, which includes the controller, an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max, and a one-month subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, all for $79.99. This bundle lets you dive into Xbox Game Pass games without needing an Xbox console at hand.

For those who love a good deal, Amazon Prime members can get a neat 10% discount on Xbox gift cards and PlayStation Store gift cards. This offer doesn’t come around often, and it usually targets small denominations. However, this time you can score up to a $100 Xbox gift card or a $250 PlayStation gift card with this discount.

Woot! (Amazon’s own), is offering a stellar deal on the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Today only, you can grab a 3-month membership code for just $29.19 using the code “TWENTY.” Microsoft had hiked the Game Pass Ultimate price to $19.99 per month earlier this year, making this a 40% saving on a 3-month membership. You can also stack multiple codes, up to 36 months’ worth, to keep your gaming library stocked without buying new titles individually.

Looking ahead, Black Friday in 2024 will be on November 29, but the deals will start way before that. Retailers start rolling out discounts towards the end of October, and as we near the big day, bigger deals start to emerge. Although the very best Black Friday offers are held back until the day itself, many solid bargains will be available leading up.
